Dragon Age 2 Destiny Trailer and Screenshots

In all its CGI goodness, completely reflective of what you’re going to be playing this March. Just to make myself clear here, that was total sarcasm. Anyway, check the trailer out here, or you can stay put and watch the new youtube version:

Either way, you’re gonna watch Hawke nearly get his ass kicked by a horned Qunari, newly redesigned, as we know, pictured below.

We also hear what I assume to be Flemeth narrating, “there are men who struggle against destiny, only to have it swallow them whole.” Destiny, in a choice-driven game? Why, yes, dear: you’re destined to become the Champion of Kirkwall no matter what you do. The real question is, how did this happen? The eventual outcome is unavoidable, but it’s the smaller details which we will have control over.

As cool as that trailer might’ve been, I’m not sure it’s totally worth hyping over given that the game doesn’t really look like that…at all. Still, it’s valuable on a conceptual level: we see the attack that is pictured in this concept art, for example, not to mention a taste of what they mean when they say they want to shoot adrenaline into the Dragon Age veins. That’s fighting like a spartan, alright.
