Why I'm leery of this game.

Before I say anything, I want to say
that I love Bioware. They have never made a game that I don't love,
so I'm going to push my doubts aside and give this game a chance. I
will probably enjoy it.




But every detail I hear makes me think
that I won't enjoy it nearly as much as the original.



I feel like I won't be able to make my
character as much “mine” as I was in origins. (Okay, that
sentence made sense in my head. Let's see if I can un-vague that.)




You won't be able to play any race
other than human. My favorite character was my city elf. I also
loved my Aeducan. I liked the fact that my characters were exotic
and different from me. I liked the variety of experience. I play
this game to get away from reality. Living in a pseudo medieval
world sometimes isn't exotic enough.



If I'm reading the articles right,
instead of getting exact dialogue choices, you choose from a wheel
and give it a flavor of what you want your character to say, and they
extrapolate a conversation from that. You can choose to be
diplomatic or aggressive. I'm assuming it's like Mass Effect.
And in Mass Effect, it drove me crazy. There were subtile nuances of
the dialogue that were unforeseeable, and thus I couldn't optimize my
choices to give my character the personality that I wanted. My
character wasn't the person I wanted her to be. She was simply a
shape of Shepherd. (Yay! Alliteration!)



That's why I'm afraid I won't enjoy
this game as much as I enjoyed Origins. I mean, I still enjoyed Mass
Effect, but no-where NEAR as much as I enjoyed Origins.



I'm hopeful that it won't be quite as
restrictive as Mass Effect in dialogue (Where there were usually just
two options. For how you wanted to say things), but with having to
pay voice actors per line, I'm worried that we'll have less choices.
But hey, they could surprise me.



Also they could do something that I
don't anticipate. It could be something that makes (what I'm afraid
will be) flaws disappear. That's what I'm really hoping for.
That's why I'm not going to make up my mind about it.




But I am concerned.  Anyone else?

your concerns are already being discussed in several other threads, including this one discussing the new direction of DA2 and differences betwein it and DAO. Please take your discussion there. Thank you.



End of line.
