Dragon Age II Mark of the Assassin DLC Next Month

[Sep 16, 2011, 10:46 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The new GameTrailers mentioned below also features The Guild's Felicia Day, who reveals plans for new Dragon Age II DLC called Mark of the Assassin. Felicia is appearing in the DLC as Tallis, the elven assassin from her Dragon Age web series, not only supplying the character's voice, but doing its motion capture as well. They feature a little bit of cinematic and gameplay footage from the DLC for BioWare's RPG sequel, but avoid giving too much away, as there are apparently "surprises" involved, though they do mention the addition of her character involved creating new combat and stealth mechanics. She says the launch of the DLC on all platforms and the debut of her web series should both occur on October 11.

There was imo a lot of things fixed with Da2 vs other bioware offerings, short load times being one and with their engine that is important. It also was a very fun action RPG. But the panning has been universal in terms of internet feedback, I'm afraid they'll go back to boring DAO. What is odd the 3 people I play who played DA2, they all liked it a lot to. So we do scratch our heads, but we know we are wrong, because the internet told us so. No one's perfect. Everyone who loved Baldurs Gate, Pretty much loved Dragon Age Origins. It was as near Bioware has been to Baldurs Gate 1 (And 2) for years. In fact even Bioware stated it was the "spiritual successor" and in my eyes they did that.. Then Dragon Age 2 came out... and it was everything Dragon Age Origins and Baldurs Gate was not... It was a horrible step backwards with re-spawning Darkspawn, JRPG style battles, repetitive map design, limited choice of characters, and a story that was shit to boot.. Theres a reason Bioware's lead storywriter left due to Dragon Age 2, and to me it fucking shows... So you can scratch your heads, but you are in a minority in this one by a country mile.
