It's quite an impressive game, certainly more cinematic than the first one.
The fall of Lothering in the first one just seemed like an afterthought.

Lothering fell? It just noticed at a certain point I couldn't travel there anymore, can't remember any real mention of it happening.
yeah - i didn't notice WHY on the first play through, i just thought it got locked out and i couldn't go there anymore.
but then on some subsequent playthrough, i caught mention (that i must have skimmed through or accidentally hit 'skip' on) of lothering falling to the darkspawn just after you left it.
definitely an easy thing to miss.

Anyone else have much crashing trouble with the demo? It complains about a missing disk (a hard-disk no less...) when connecting to BioWare and on 4 tries I have had two failures to start, one freeze early in the first combat and one after killing the first hordes and accepting the character.
I run on a rather capable AlienWare gaming PC (dual 5800 in crossfire, 2.67GHz processor, 16 GB ram, Windows 7 64-bit) updated with all the latest drivers :-/

Hmm I was quite aware of it..
I liked the original. Your decisions had an impact on the game's outcome, and a lot of them could have gone either way. Definitely will pick up DA2 when it comes out.
Oh, I really(!) enjoyed DA:Origins as well (though I never played the expansions on it since I don't really do the DLC stuff). But I am anxiously awaiting DA2 (though, sadly, it will be delivered when i know i have some major projects to do, so it will sit there, taunting me, for a couple weeks before i can play it...)

When I run into that kinda stuff I kill the crossfire first and then make tweaks from there.

I did that, and then found the solution deeply burried in the forums:
DX11 is not working properly yet. With DX9 I played through without other trouble than some loading times.
What that showed me is how much more awsome the game will be with DX11 and everything set at max. It was a really noticable (even slightly distracting) loss of quality to run at medium (which is the highest the demo will let me run with DX9). I really hope the shipping game will run properly with DX11 and all things at max. The short look I got of that was very nice. DX9 and medium was sort of "meh".
