Looks completely different from the first game, however because I loved the first one I think this is a Day one purchase

That was pretty cool. Even though we did not see what happen to that demon. I still cringed on the thought of it. I have yet to play the first one though.

I'm looking forward to seeing some gameplay. I just couldn't get into the first one so I'd welcome any streamlining or interesting changes in that area.

This may as well be a final fantasy cutscene :( I reserve judgement before we see gameplay but gotta say, so far I'm not thrilled.

You can tell that from a trailer?

Well from reading reports from different sites it seems that there is going to be a bit of a different shift in tone and pacing.
 
Plus also when you see the DA:O trailer  you only saw the Duncan model and a slight hint of what is to come. However with this one it seems to have given Hawke's back story (see the flashes in the trailer)

Hawke is not killing a darkspawn there. That is a Qunari, newly redesigned--they now can have horns. Also, that's flemeth's voiceover.

This seems to imply that there will be a more balanced battlemage class build, unlike the one in DA 1 that fatigued the mage so much he could barely cast spells and was still not really as good a fighter as a warrior.

I'm sure, just like the first game had very little in common with its pretty CG trailer, neither will this one. All the same, I'm stoked. Also digging the lack of heavy metal.

Spoilers  from 1st game:
 

 
 
wonder if hawke's demon powers implies that he's descended from the main character and morrigan or maybe even the child itself?

Nope Hawke is already alive while Origins is happening, he's one of the survivors that escaped Lothering before it fell to the Darkspawn.

The Qunari are looking wicked this time around.. I hope there's more gore than the sprinkling in the first.

I'm starting to get behind the game taking place over a decade. Best part of rpg's are the epic moments and not the soul crushing bits in between.

Where did you see that? If you slow down the trailer you can quite clearly see Morrigan in it.

They already said in an interview somewhere that it would be much more gory, with the ability to tear people in half, behead, explode, et cetera...I think it's on the wiki page as well.
