In Dragon Age 2, can you restart the game with all your previous items?

After you beat the game, is it possible to keep all of your items, progress, etc?In Dragon Age 2, can you restart the game with all your previous items?
Not that I know of, no.



I've completed the game three times, and each time an autosave has been created upon completion, with all items and details saved, etc. However, I've never heard of being able to restart the game anew with all these items. Unless you're on a PC version and intend to mod the hell out of your playthrough, there is no way to do this. The only thing the autosaves are for is for future DLC that can be accessed post-completion (like Awakening and Witch Hunt were for Dragon Age: Origins), and for uploading events of the game to future games, namely Dragon Age 3 which is in the making.



So, yes your items and progress are all saved, but no you cannot take advantage of this in a new-game scenario.
