Dragon Age 2 - Hightown Update, Video Interview

Everyone who is anyone in Kirkwall lives in Hightown, and they give little thought to what goes on in Lowtown other than to complain when the wind drags up the stench from its foundries or ancient mines. People in Hightown feel safe, not because the city's walls are impregnable, but because an invader would need to scale the stairs from Lowtown in order to reach them. Many bloody battles have been fought on those narrow stairs, and in several wars Hightown has held out for months after Lowtown was taken. The wealthy often forget, however, that those stairs are also their only escape.

Regarding a snip from the interview and at the risk of (perhaps again) sounding like a cantancerous, whiny zealot:

I rather dislike the fact that the dialogue system has been overhauled. Accidentally hitting on Zevram, irritating Wynne or getting annoyed by Sten was part of the charm of the first game. Where's the fun in facing a character and hitting the 'flirt' option when you want to get it on? Relationships are fickle and unpredictable. They need work. Or a big wad of cash.

I completely agree. I want to choose a text to say, and face the consequences. I don't want to choose some kind of symbol, which results in a text I might never had chosen knowingly.
