Additional Comments

* Version is the Standard Edition * Graphics could only be set to Medium (assuming higher settings require DX version greater then 9) * Origin/Dragon Age II installed to a 64bit prefix * Origin safe mode required for download to complete: Origin -> Application Settings -> Advanced -> |x| Safe Mode Downloading * Origin crashed occasionally, just restart Origin and the download/install will finish eventually * By default the audio was disabled. To enable, start the config utility (DragonAge2Config.exe) Audio -> uncheck "Disable Sound" * For no/poor cut-scene dialogue audio, you can enable subtitles: (in game) Options -> Audio -> Subtitles setting -> Always on. (Only winetricks used for this prefix was "winetricks strictdrawordering=enabled" to fix a black video issue with Dragon Age 1 but shouldn't be necessary for Dragon Age 2 - both installed to same prefix) Nvidia Driver: 346.72 (GeForce GTX 670) Kernel: 3.16.7 KDE 4.14.8
