The bloody 360 demo is available to download, and has been for nearly an hour. The rest of us are still waiting. Wonder how much Microsoft coughed up for THAT privilege?
Bah.
Bah, I say.
Bah.

Also, did anyone else have a problem where you simply could NOT get to the leveling screen for Carver or Bethany? Sometimes it would randomly spit me back to the other UI, but when Aveline or Hawke leveled they'd pop up after and demanded to be leveled next.
Whut.
Can't get it to download quickly? Try this mirror. Members report >1hr download time as opposed to the two sodding days some of us have been stuck with. (Make sure you run a virus scan, darlings. And if anyone has a torrent magnet link, lemme know and I'll add it here too.)
Having install problems?
If you're getting the .dll error and the game won't load, check out this thread and update your DirectX install. Yes, even if it says it's current.
Game randomly crashing?
Don't run it using DirectX 11. Word on the street is the demo doesn't actually support it, so high-end rigs are having tons of problems. Dropping to DirectX 9 in video settings fixed this for me.
Whut.

Having issues killing the second ogre as a rogue? Check out this thread.
Want the opinion of comm members who were less than impressed? darkrose and sinick have some rather lucid explanations for their overwhelming sense of meh.
Want screenshots for icons/banners/Varric's hand gestures/Isabela's ass? Check out the DA2 demo section of the peopleofthedas album. Any of the images there are free for your use, darlings. Just be warned, there are 641 of them. That's after culling. Varric, Cassandra, Flemeth, Bethany, Carver, Aveline, Wesley, Isabela, and some random dead grunts and hurlocks all featured. m!Hawke tank is featured. Might add f!Hawke later.
Concerned about cup size? Blame Varric, not BioWare, and check this out. Oh, I am giggling madly!
Want to unlock the inventory and character creator on the demo? There's a mod for that.
Worried there won't be mods for DA2? Don't be.
Also, some console commands work on the demo. Check it out.
