Bioware had a booth at Comic Con showing off the new Dragon Age 2. It looks like they are totally redoing the style of the game. It has a more cartoony and "stylized" appearance than before. To me the concept art looks like it was inspired by eastern games. I don't know if I like this change. They also said combat was faster with quicker recharges to keep the action pace faster...

I hope this doesn't take the game from a strategy RPG to a run of the mill action RPG. Dragon Age was a wonderful breath of the past for us gamers that enjoyed the older style of PC RPGs, I would hate to see it go the route of newer games for "mainstream" appeal.

They also note that the dialog works more like Mass Effect now, in which the protagonist talks. I don't know if I like it.

I am apprehensive with the course DA2 is taking, but am still looking forward to it.

Here is a preview:
