No, really, you managed to get rid of most of the things Dragon Age fans, and others liked about the game, and made it into fantasy Mass Effect.

Seriously, good work. I can't even follow the writers or designers anymore, because you have let me down so much. You have a crapload of fans who love your games, and you just screw them over. I was holding on a string yesterday, I was excited, but I was worried. What the hell is the point of wiping out most of the things about the first Dragon Age? What, tell me, please? You had Mass Effect players saying they wanted a voiced PC, they wanted better graphics, but really? You know people like to complain, you know people don't care for real. You know people adore Dragon Age and replayed it and replayed it and replayed it.

Good work here, guys. You really let down an entire fanbase. I can't be optimistic anymore, because all I see is Mass Effect in fantasy world.

Sure, it's a couple of pictures, a few pieces of info, but they are pretty crucial.

I am going back to play Knights of The Old Republic. At least then you could make a silent protagonist and have most people not mind. Seriously, your problem was you ignored the protagonist, you didn't give them enough cinematic time. So now you just go, "Oh! Wipe it out!" When you could have done so much with it.

I don't want everything RPG to be Mass Effect now. You are too scared to go another route. Apparently Dragon Age sold more than ME, even. 

"Return to your roots"? Whatever.

I am so upset, honestly. This is not a fan overreacting, this is a fan whose been let down too many times by you guys.

I think it's a bit quick to judge, Lucy_Glitter, and that you'll eventually find that there's plenty to recognize and love in DA2-- we're doing our best to make it a worthy successor-- but if there's no way for you to get past some of the changes, then so be it. Sorry you feel that way.

I find it's a change that I just don't understand - why do Mass Effect dialogue system, what is the point? If I have a good explanation, maybe I can understand it. It's upsetting for me, because I like Dragon Age, I love it. This feels like you are betraying Dragon Age fans. I don't see the point of completely changing things, it's silly and it really does upset me. like, really. I am actually really sad right now.

I hope that's not true. I might understand how some people who enjoyed every part of Dragon Age: Origins-- the bad along with the good-- might not like even the mere mention of change, but it's my experience that any system comes with its advantages as well as disadvantages. I'd be glad to discuss some of them with you... once we've even said what our implementation of these systems will be like. That information will come in time.

i'm sorry David Gaider
anything i that were harsh said in forum about dragon age 2 and champion hawke, i am sorry
and think dragon age 2 is great

It's okay, no need to apologize. The internet exists to post while you're hot, and then regret at leisure... I've done it myself.

I'm glad you think DA2 is looking great, but isn't it just as early to say that, just like the people predicting doom? I'd wait to see how we've done the things that are being mentioned... just because they might resemble another game's system on the surface doesn't mean we'll implement it in exactly the same way. It's the nature of these forums for people to take a piece of information and applying the most extreme interpretation of that-- but it's no more true here than it was for these same predictions back in the days of meager DAO information (if anyone remembers them).

Not everyone will like what we've done, but we've yet to really show anyone what we've done... and that will come in time, as with any announced game.

Even so, I hope you do like the game when you eventually see/play it.

Now, for two, why don't you guys comment on what most people care about, combat? most people would expect DA2 to continue the "return to your roots" thing. I'd probably still buy the game even if combat was different but why not comment on something 99% of your fanbase is very concerned?

Probably because we'd rather show it. Engaging in the gameplay equivalent of exposition is only going to bring up more questions. We'll get there, don't worry.

People see a "classic RPG" in Dragon Age and at the present, with so little information available, everyone is making assumptions about the game which appear to polarize the fans. Shouldn't you say if it is a classic RPG people are getting and if not why? Personally I don't confine the definition of RPGs into something with stats & turn based combat, I care more about how I interact with the game world & choices but I can't blame anyone for requesting more info.

Naturally everyone wants all the info right now-- and the more we give, the more questions people will want to ask. That's natural. That's why you're fans. The drip feed is maddening, I know, but if you think providing anything less than a complete reveal of all details on every front will stop the assumptions and polarizing, then I suspect you're mistaken. It's kind of the natural sport around these parts.
