Yes, now, I'm aware that DA sold.... hmmm.... MILLIONS OF COPIES.

That being said, Bioware, I understand EA's probably forcing you to downgrade and make some cuts to reduce costs but are you really certain that there isn't enough leftover profit from DA 1 to hire 4 additional VA's, maybe 1-2 more writers and perhaps add an extra disc so that we aren't all forced to play as the human "master race"?

Is it a problem that EA used all the profits from the first game to cover their losses?  Maybe they used it to give extra dividends to the shareholders?  Or perhaps the Bioware team spent it all on cocaine/stripper parties?  If not then please invest 6.8% more money and time into not forcing everyone to join the noble Aryan race, thank you.


I don't really think that hiring new people (especially for positions we know nothing about) is really going to solve anything. Also, you may not want to compare BioWare to the **** party.

Well, they are making out humans to be the supreme master race and rigidly forcing every last player to be denied the right to experience DA as a lowly dwarf of elf.  Seems rather.... iffy to me.

They say that it's not about sales. The devs are following their bliss or something.

Are you serious? Before, I was merely trying to figure out if you were actually calling them ****'s or not, or maybe you were a little overtly angry over a video game... now you're starting to scare me....

Uh, no, I think not. I can always read a book or two instead.... Actually, with the time I've spent on DA:O, I can read a couple of dozen books. More. Maybe it will be a good thing if they stop making real RPGs. ;)


Yup, While im disappointed in the direction of DA2. Ive already found 3 possible replacements for it (downloading one via Steam right now) and have a number of books to read.

Real RPGs will never truely stop existing on computer and for those of us with imaginations that are not limited to action fixes, book will always be a happy diversion!

Finally, a reason to appreciate the existence of Wii.

Long live Wii and its clones! Bring on the Wii-tards! There is hope, for one day the noble art of PC gaming shall rise supreme once again while the consoles languish in the hell that is pretend tenis and dance revolutionPosted Image

You can sign me up for that club.  The alternatives are out there and for me the alternative is not to play a sub-par game, but to read a book, write, or clean my house.  So if DA2 sucks, all in all it could be a good thing. :innocent:

However I imagine that people who have a more ingrained gaming habit will settle for whatever the game companies spit out.

You're totally accurate, they are denying our rights.  I say we file a class action lawsuit, the supreme court will make Bioware pay for this grievous breach of human rights.

Are you per chance a console gamer?

I think the irony of your situation is delicious, for years PC gamers have suffered accusations of elitism and been told to mellow out by the console crowd over the “perceived” dumbing down of our games to accommodate them.

Soon your time will come, when the Pablum munching fun-for-the-whole-family crowd accuse you lot of being a bunch of elitists and tell you that the new god of war format just makes it more swing and jump friendly and that’s it well worth the lack of proper graphics or the need for more than two choices of actions and that it certainly isn’t being dumbed downPosted Image

Wouldn't hookers and cocaine provide motivation for BioWare to do better?



Okay, let's see how many people at BioWare are working on DA2 (directly, none for you, Doctors!), add the cost of cocaine and hookers, then multiply them together.



That's how much money we're gonna have to be paying for DA2, or they'll die.

I'm curious, what are you downloading via Steam?  None of the RPGs I've seen on there seem interesting and I wonder if I've missed one.  I'd like something to occupy my gaming time right now.

The Wii has some great games, if people choose not to play them its their problem not mine.

Same goes for all platform fanboys
