I should probably play ME1 again... I made the mistake of not being a vanguard on my first playthrough. Honestly all I need is a shotgun with unlimited ammo or charge.

I think I only was a soldier in ME1 because all of the non-soldiers either looked wussy or girly (it was like 3 years ago, ok? I was 13!)

ME1 is easy enough with any class, or so I think. I had no problem whatsoever finishing the game in hardest difficulty mode, as opposed to DA:O

Oh yeah, ME1's fine with any class, because you can use all the weapons even if you aren't specialized in them. ME2's easy too, because the Carnifex hand cannon kicks ass.

But I just want to be a Vanguard so I can get shockwave AND carnage.

Dragon Age 2: Confirmed?

Yes, and apparently it's a completely new storyline and will involve a new character, so no importing your old one. That pretty much puts to rest any ideas that DA was going to go the epic route of Baldur's Gate.

Seems like DA2 will be a very different game, sounds almost like Fable. I have mixed feelings about the game apprently being given a radical change.

I'm hopeful but will wait a bit. Hopefully the tactics will receive a touch-up. I started to really enjoy it. However, it's a pitty you couldn't adjust the formation and distance.

The time span of 10 years seems like they'll be able to add a lot of flexibility.
