Dragon Age II: Now with more Mass Effect!
Big changes are in store for Dragon Age II. Not only is the sequel getting an all-new visual style, it will be borrowing features from BioWare's other original RPG franchise, Mass Effect.

Like Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age II will allow you to import your save from the first game. Although you'll star as new protagonist Hawke in the second game, you can be sure that you'll be meeting some of the characters from the original game.

Secondly, the sequel will be incorporating Mass Effect's trademark dialog system, which allows you to quickly choose a mood for your response and listen to your character reply in that way. That's a major improvement from the fairly static and un-engaging dialog of the first game. 

Finally, like Mass Effect, Dragon Age II will feature redesigned combat that's "optimized" for console play." Never fear, PC gamers. Your version will remain the same.
