Dragon Age 2: Fuckin' Bitches, Stabbin' Dragons
est:
Ok, just tried giving it another go with a mage as main character, but I had to stop, because I encountered three new bugs that made the game unplayable:
1. the voice acting and music cuts in and out, especially during cutscenes
2. occasionally when I have all chars selected none of them listen to movement commands, and when I switch to individual characters the others run around randomly
3. every character moves at about half-pace compared to previous attempts to play the game
This is what they serve up as a demo?
I have to admit though, what I could play of the game felt a lot more enjoyable as a Mage. Perhaps I'll wait and see how the final game pans out. Also, if someone releases some sort of FOV/zoom change, or if we can change something in a settings cfg file to make it zoom farther out I will probably feel a bit better about things.

Check the bioware feedback forum, they usually have good advice. I personally haven't seen people encounter these problems specifically, so I do not know how to help.
And don't worry, people are already going to start modding the camera. I am pretty sure it will be the first one avaliable after release.

I don't get all the hate for the new art style. Yeah, sure, the new Darkspawn are a little naff, but it's not like they're the main villains any more and the hills near Lothering seem to have been tainted a touch quickly. However Mr. Gaider has been pretty straight up that most of the work in the game has been put into Kirkwall and I think it shows. From what I've seen of Kirkwall so far, especially in the DX11 screen-shots, it looks bloody marvellous.
The human models I think are an improvement overall and barring a few questionable judgement calls (pants will not reduce Isabella’s sex appeal any, I assure you, or did she lose them with her ship?) there are no game breaking issues for me. I actually particularly like Anders new model and Varric's as well.
As for the combat, well its far from the best system I've played, but at normal compared the DA:Os normal, I have no real issues. If it gets too easy, I'll switch it up to hard. I play Bioware games for the story and dialogue mostly anyway. From what I've seen the dialogue and VA's are anywhere from decent to very good. The story has yet to be unveiled but as I've yet to but utterly disappointed by any Bioware story I'm not especially worried.
In fact, the whole personal story rather than the whole "epic world saving adventure" shtick seems an improvement to me.
To put this in comparison, I prefer KoTOR2 (even broken and half finished) to the originals twist/shock ending.
To me at least, DA2 seems to have shaped up okay. I'll let you know if the story changes my mind.

Est, if you're running on the PC, you may want to turn DX11 off, it's horribly broken for the demo.

Does it flicker or does it periodically hitch? Because for some reason DA2 seems to load between spoken lines, and that might be the culprit. It definitely disrupts the flow of conversation.

This is what happens when you use and older build for your demo :/
A demo done well is the Shogun 2 demo. That was a game I was not interested in (much) and now want, this is a bit too normal/fighty for it to draw new people in.
