The demo was good, but the combat is too fast for my liking. I miss the normal combat speed in Dragon Age 1.
But the increased number of enemies makes up for that in my opinion.
After playing the demo about a dozen or more times... mostly just to see how different conversations played out... It's interesting to say the least. Think between the 3 classes Rogue and Mage will be played the most in our house. There was something about the Warrior that just... wasn't there.
The whole thing with Flemeth showing up again... That was a twist I didn't see coming, despite playing Witch Hunt. I never cared for her. It did bring up one interesting question I am rather curious if it will be answered in DA2... What the hell is she... My Warden took her out with a crit hit and drove her sword thru her skull to make sure she was VERY DEAD, yet here she is AGAIN...
Anyway something I've noticed a lot of people aren't picking up on is we're getting tiny glimpses into another BIG Bioware title that is just around the corner. If TOR grabs on to you and drags you into the story like DA2 does, which I have no doubt it will do. It'll be an amazing game as well.
You obviously diddn't spend much time gathering the storyline in DAO. It is explained there, I haven't played a game of DAO in a little bit so based on memory shes a demon or something close to that. Atleast that's what I gathered. Shes a mage that made a deal with a demon. As for the part where you drove a sword through her skull. According to the DAO story line, she cannot die. She will wander ti'll she finds a body to possess and as morrigan put it, probally will come find her.
As for the game DA2, I couldn't play the demo. I got to the config utility screen where it was configing whatever and would just freeze at 20% forever. I looked it up and there are quite a few people with the issue that couldn't resolve it. I removed the demo since I couldn't play it and saved myself a headache. Anybody else here have the same issue and fixed it?
DA2 is set on the same time frame as DA:O, it basically starts with the invasion of Lothering just as the Warden, Alistair, Leliana, etc leave. So at that time Flemeth was very much alive.
The earliest you get to kill Flemeth is after quite possibly the 2nd completed main area. You have to do the Mage Tower first to get the grimoire, and then take morrigan with you all over the place and keep her happy so she asks you in camp to go kill her. By this time in the DA2 story you probably landed with your hero in Kirkwall.
If you choose to kill Flemeth in DA:O she does die, the only way she carries on is to take over her daughter's body and soul and then repeats the cycle, but with Morrigan gone she obviously was looking for a new female host hence why she pleads with you to take her spell book and leave her alone.
Now the interesting thing is this, is Flemeth really human from the beginning or is she a sort of twisted Archdemon?
I think both the Warden, Morrigan and our new Hero will meet in a future DA when they hit Tevinter to finally stop the Blight source. And maybe perhaps find out that the maker himself could be a rival Archdemon of the Blight.
Who knows its speculation for the future games :P
Yes it starts at sameish time as DA:O... Otherwise what Lothering does the new hero come from?
When they reach the free marches it could extend time to 10 yrs on, when your hero becomes champion etc.
As for Morrigan, if you have played Witch Hunt you will notice you either kill her or let her escape through a portal.

There is a third option in Witch Hunt. I believe it required you to have a relationship with Morrigan in the original storyline.
rember regarding flemeth the demo part takes place just after the destruction of lothering where the GW would be just finished his/her first quest area and thus not have been and killed flem though like in witch hunt morrigan hints that shes not just an abomination somthing much older and deadlyer
Yes she did. My guess is that Flemeth is more then just a abomination, and may be the "spirit" of an old tavinter GOD that is looking for their old "home".
so, it will be interesting to find out what DA2 will tell us
