More information has come to light since the not-at-all-shocking announcement of Dragon Age 2, some of it from the press release issued today.  Of particular note is that the game will focus on the story of Hawke, a blight survivor and “penniless refugee who rises to power to become the single most important character in the world of Dragon Age.”  The release states that the story will span ten years, and that choices made throughout the game will affect the story as you go.  While players can select either a male or female character,  BioWare’s Chris Priestly confirmed on the official forums that Hawke is human; players will not have the option of dwarven or elven characters.

Dragon Age 2 is currently scheduled for a March 2011 release, though an exact date has not been set.
