By the time dragon age 2 releases, it will have been in development for less then a year and a half. Most major releases take 2-3 in development...so I pose the question to you all. Do you think DA2 has been rushed?

I think that by "top quality" he means that the new ideas that bioware has brought into this game have been developed to their full potential.  The extent to which these ideas will enhance the game remains to be seen.

By this definition all games could be considered "rushed," because there is never enough time to make everything perfect, never enough QA time, and always something more that could be done. but at some point, a product has to be shipped. the common gamer definition of "rushed" seems to be either "has bugs" or "contains feature I don't like / disagree with" rather than "the scale of this project was too big for the amount of time and resources allotted," if for no other reason than the customer is not privy to internal schedules or business information.

Really, what is crunch time but a developer "rushing" to finish the game by a certain deadline? And most every developer goes through crunch time at the end of a project.
