Dragon Age II and High-Rez Patch Released

Today is the North American release day for Dragon Age II, BioWare's role-playing sequel, which will be available in Europe on Friday. In addition to the retail edition, the game is also available online from the EA Store, Direct2Drive, GamersGate, Impulse, and Steam. Also, the BioWare Social Network offers a high-resolution texture pack for the game. Here's word on the 1.08 GB patch: "Using high-resolution textures requires a graphics card with at least 1024MB video memory. Most of the benefits from the Hi-resolution textures will only be seen if you are able to run the game in DirectX 11." For those interested in sampling the game, a playable demo was released last month.

Can the PC game be traded? Does it use the same DRM type system the first one did where you don't get a lot of the DLC but you get the core game? I'm hoping so, I'd like to play through the PC version and compare to the console version, I know I can do this on the first one but I don't want to. I'd rather just keep playing the 1st one to the end rather than starting over on the PC if I wanted to play it on the PC.

Well, from EA's side of the DRM. The product key is tied to your e-mail account you create.

From Steam's side, it is tied to your steam account, but you can transfer games to another account for 10 dollars I think.

So for example, if you have the steam version, you pay the 10 dollars to trade this game to someone else's account. That person still needs to log in with your EA credentials when they try to play.
