ok so i should be able to finish awakening pretty soon if I burn the midnight oil.
so witch hunt, anybody wanna type out a quick summary maybe? the dragon age wikia doesn't really have the details
edit - ya my warden isn't really the stabbing chick who is carrying my baby type
From what I saw on youtube Witch hunt looked a little lame, not as good as Leliana's song or even close to the Mass Effect DLCs, it looked like a way to kind of drag out the Witch's story while being a little vague about what actually happened.

Warden: "Man...I wonder where Morrigan is."
Elf chick: "Someone stole a mirror of ours...it may have been your Morrigan friend."
Warden: "Word?"
Elf: "Word."
Warden: "Then off we go!"
Elf: "But first we need to talk to a guy who knows about mirrors."
Guy: "I know about mirrors!"
Warden: "Cool"
*fights*
*more fights*
*big spider thing fight*
Warden: "Oh there's Morrigan, what's up."
Morrigan: "Hey...I'm a little busy so could we make this quick?"
Warden: "Okay, cool. I would like you to explain why you're doing all these mysterious things."
Morrigan: "No."
Warden: "Damn."
Morrigan: "But Flemeth's not dead and more than meets the eye."
Warden: "Flemeth is Megatron!"
Morrigan: "No. But she's weird."
Warden: "Oh...well umm...I guess I can follow you...or stab you. Whatever you're up for."
Morrigan: "Well, just make it quick, I have to go through this mirror while it's being all mirror-y and mysterious."

oh another thing I'm cloudy on after playing the demo.
So I haven't been following DA2 news AT ALL and had no idea Janeway was back. Didn't I assimilate her back in the first game?? when the heck does thsi game actually take place? also is tuvok back?
oh also why is everybody carrying around JRPG sized swords because holy cow. (also flemeth's new look is pretty jawsome but also shockingly different)

Eh, I vastly preferred Witch Hunt to the Leliana thing. My utter lack of interest in Leliana may have factored in to that, though.
I assume we've all gone over bitching about the DLC/preorder schemes at length already?
well I haven't. Let me also put in a big ol WHAT THE FUCK EA?!
Signature edition, which is not avaialble and had to be pre-ordered well before any educated decisions about the game could be made, has the extra party member but normal edition doesn't? this whole project 10 dollar stuff is fine, and was fine in Mass Effect 2 where you still got everything if you were the first buyer, but in DA2 they are full on charging you an extra 7 bucks out of the gate no matter if you bought new or not.

1. All of the two handed swords in the demo are straight from dao
2. This takes place when the blight hits lothering. So you couldn't have killed her by that point (and we are pretty sure you don't actually kill her anyway)

edit - Dragkonias is that for reals? cause...
Morrigan states pretty clearly in the first game that even if you off Flemeth she's almost certainly not dead dead.
And as for her appearance being way different...she's a shapeshifter.

The game starts when Lothering is being overrun, which happens while the warden is in the process of recruiting armies. It then spans over 10 years
Also, Flemeth is super powerful and they imply that regardless of your actions she's probably still around in some form or another
Weapons were pretty dang big in DA:O too, I'll never stop being amazed at the size of the hilts

see that's a BS argument as morrigan clearly says that being a shapeshifter doesn't allow you take different human forms.
It's a retcon.
Flemeth didn't look like an old hot morrigan, now she does.
boners for everyone.

ya I gotta agree with Evilthecat on that one.
I don't mind the new art style for her, well or the game in general, it's just really shocking when you first see her and realize it's flemeth. I was just basically 'wtf' as I had no idea she was in the game.

In fact Morrigan suggests that Flemeth may have been able to shapeshift into a more attractive form to seduce Chasind men in order to father her daughters.
Flemeth is not someone to whom the rules apply to. This was made rather clear in the first game, but if you'd rather call it a retcon, go nuts!

sorry thread, didn't mean to start a flemeth argument. I think she looks rad, just had no idea she was in the game.
It's interesting, I was super uninterested in DA2 just cause it was apparently hardly connected to DA1 at all, which I was really invested in. Encountered Flemeth in the demo has completely changed around my policy on this game though. I'm now super curious (sadly i did not really enjoy the combat feel)

I think Morrigan just says that SHE can't take on other human forms. And/or has no interest in taking other human forms.
It's been a while, but I thought the whole reason...*DA:O Spoilers!*
That Morrigan wanted you to go kill Flemeth was because she found out Flemeth was killing her daughters and taking their bodies in order to stay young. Doesn't that imply that she can't change her human appearance, but can move into a different body?
Not that it matters, since I chalked up her new appearance to artstyle differences just like the Darkspawn and Qunari.
In fact the Qunari were always meant to look more-or-less like they do in DA2, but due to technical and artistic time constraints in the first game (most particularly, the fact that you could have a Qunari in your party), you got the bronze-skinned humanoids. Which is probably for the best - there was a time that the Qunari were supposed to have horns as well as segmented tails with stingers.
The concept art for -those- Qunari is still proudly displayed right by one of the fifth floor kitchens.

Yes.
@Hardtarget: Close enough.
Pfft, nah. Let's do it all again.

You can not buy him, is what I'm saying.

1. All of the two handed swords in the demo are straight from dao
2. This takes place when the blight hits lothering. So you couldn't have killed her by that point (and we are pretty sure you don't actually kill her anyway)
So it would have been long before you went back to kill her in that game.
But I don't think she actually dies any way so she could show up later in DA2, despite you killing her in DAO.
Well I'll add a summation of my feelings on it:

And apparently they had to cancel my original pre order to do this, so its safe to say I did, at one point, cancel my pre-order.
The game starts when Lothering is being overrun, which happens while the warden is in the process of recruiting armies. It then spans over 10 years
Also, Flemeth is super powerful and they imply that regardless of your actions she's probably still around in some form or another

But also she looks way better in this game so I don't care :P
I think that's a record for 'most people to reply to a post of mine". brovo thread.
see that's a BS argument as morrigan clearly says that being a shapeshifter doesn't allow you take different human forms.
It's a retcon.

(Plus, she's an Abomination. What rules do and do not apply to her is unclear)

She might not even be that.
that would be the best
Flemeth is not someone to whom the rules apply to. This was made rather clear in the first game, but if you'd rather call it a retcon, go nuts!
She even, later, explicitly says that it would be effortless for Flemeth to do so.

Remember that that part of the story is being told by Varric, who wasn't present.
Flemeth looks however he wants her to look.

The Qunari are basically a retcon. But who cares, old Qunari looked bland as fuck.
It's a good thing.
