Bioware is also running a contest/promotion with the demo. If one million players download the demo across all three platforms (PC, Xbox 360, PS3) before March 1st, two additional items will be unlocked. Both items are books; The Far Cliffs of Kirkwall gives money when read while Lothering's Lament gives experience. A little dull, but still helpful, so make sure you download the demo tomorrow.

Yup, community wide.
Link to BSN post: VICTORY!!! All 3 tomes unlocking!
*EDIT* has "A New Challenge" not been met? or is that only available to those that have Facebook? It says by the 4th and today is the 6th. I have no use for Facebook so I hope it is a community wide unlock...
I for one love the new animations and stuff, the old DAO animations, especially the casting ones look like the product of monkeys.
You are sooooo right. Everyone gets those first two tomes (and I guess the FB one as well, if the goal is reached.) I had forgotten that these were Community-wide promotions.
The Mage is the easiest class to play in the Demo by far.
Don't use Heal; it is terrible and pretty much completely unnecessary anyway. The Potions give more than enough healing.
Just keep switching off between Fireball and the first Frost skill and you can kill most anything quickly. Throw in an Inferno every now and again for some spice.
I agree that the combat system is arguably better. The combat structure, however, is the problem.
Running down linear paths and encountering waves of enemies emerging from the scenery from time to time, a lá Mass Effect 2, is just so... meh. It gets old fast. At least Diablo let's you wander about its areas.
True, the full game might not consist solely of those types of combats... but it seems highly likely that it will, seeing as how there was no variation in ME2 after all.
at the price of annoying facebook
friends for 5 days in a row with the
share of the da II facebook advert
of the day.
About the counter boost: Fernando Melo
(BioWare) had mentioned that the counter was
just a gadget for the page viewers and that
they would add the counts from other sources
(than the one the counter related to) after
the weekend (yesterday / earlier today
depending on the time zone).
Afaik the 2 1rst bonus items are available
for each ea dragon age account, not
just for those who were logged in while
playing the demo.
I'd love to see the actual file and log-on server stats, since the webpage counter appeared mired in molassas at around 890K for most of the morning!
I feel like I wouldn't wanna play DAO again anytime soon due to slower combat and mute player. Dragon Age II will rocks!
And I do have faith with Modding community!!
Yeah, they have turned the game into something that looks like an arcade fighter or something from The Matrix with those combat animations
