Dragon Age: Origins was a huge success, earning BioWare many awards...but lets face it, the expansion and DLC that came after has not done justice for such an epic game.  Awakening in particular was very buggy (I mean my Warden's arms were stuck in the air, making cut-scenes very comical at least) and lacked many of the qualities that made DA:O so popular (i.e. character interaction, romance, etc.).  The ending left people scratching their head...surely that is not the end we all envisioned for The Warden after the countless hours we've spent creating his/her story, right?  In fact, those who chose to have their Warden die after killing the Archdemon may be the lucky ones among us.  At least their Warden was given a proper send-off. 

Following Awakening up with The Witch Hunt DLC to lead into Dragon Age 2 was a good idea to wrap up the Morrigan storyline...if only it had been done correctly.  Instead of a satisfying conclusion one way or another, we're left with more questions.  Questions that need answers.  And that's to say nothing of bugs it suffered as well.  I mean, come on BioWare, is that really how you treat a franchise that showed so much promise???

Maybe that's not the last we've seen of The Warden, Morrigan, and others from DA:O.  We can only hope that there is a plan to bring them off the shelf where they seem to have been forced into early retirement.  I, for one, would be ecstatic for the chance to play my Warden again.

Which brings us to BioWare's newest addition, the soon-to-be-released Dragon Age 2.  A new story, with a new character.  It will undoubtedly incorporate all of DA:O's quality elements, and even upgrades the combat system.  It all sounds great, and I really hope BioWare knocks this one out of the park.  I hope they blow us all away with a game that not only equals DA:O, but far surpasses it.  They need to.  They HAVE to.  Because if they don't, it will kill the Dragon Age franchise.  And I know we can all agree that there is too much history already written, too much potential for what can be, to just throw it all away.

DA2 has to surpass DAO or they'll shut down the franchise? How do you know that?



Also, they've said they're not done with the Morrigan story.

IF DAII GETS LESS THAN 90 ON METACRITIC, IT WILL BE THE END OF BIOWARE.



Seriously, I read it in the Metacritic thread!

[Purple People Eater]

Nah. DA2 could flop (which it wont), and they'd still make a DA3.

[Mad-Max90]

I doubt there gonna mess up one of their best franchises to date

exactly, Dragon Age will be great and fun for Dragon Age Vets, but you won't have that, 'Im a super cool guy that I made and Im awesome' feeling. I will enjoy it, alot though

[DragonWarrior517]

No one can deny Awakening and the other DLC were big disappointments...my point is that there is no excuse for failing to produce quality products, even if it is just an expansion. They do that too often, and people will stop buying their product. I'd hate to see that happen.

I'm tired of hearing about metacritic, all I picture when I hear about them are the creepy bastards with the oracle in 300

I have yet to see a "major" tittle get bad reviews from these websites and gaming magazines.. i really really wonder why that is? hmmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmm

[upsettingshorts]

Let me just take a look at EA/Bioware internal documents before I comment. I like to have them handy before discussing stuff like this. Oh, wait, I don't have any. Not much I could add.

Because we all rely on reviews on gaming magazines AMIRITE?

There's something called Black Ops, check it out.

I sincerely hope by that you dont think that there is going to be anymore DLC for Origins because it's already been stated several times that there is NO MORE DLC for Origins, in terms of story.  So unless by "They're not done with Morrigan's story" you mean its something to come for a "possible" DA2 DLC or DA3,...then you are pretty much mistaken.

Because they are honest, hard working citizens, supporting the lead gaming industry so that each and every one of us will continue to enjoy over 90% score games?

Baldur's Gate 2 > Baldur's Gate
Mass Effect 2 > Mass Effect
Do I see a pattern?
Dragon Age 2 >= Dragon Age:Origins

DA2 will sell way more copies than DA:O now that the combat is more "actiony" and the normal difficulty doesn't have friendly fire. Oh and the main char speaks...

I agree with you about them needing to come up with quality expantions for DA2. Something deeper than what was offered for Origins for sure. I really liked Awakenings, and Lelianas song though. Witch Hunt wasnt bad either, it just had an unsatisfying, all too abrupt ending.

But i mean black ops got better reviews than MW2... the fact that MW2 actually retained its multiplayer popularity for more than 2 months is completely irrelevant because... black ops got better ratings!!

As a fortune teller I felt obliged to make a comment on this thread, I forsee Dragon Age 2 selling more copies on March 8th then ever before!

I know that they're done with DLC for DAO. I have no idea how or when they will continue the Morrigan story since I don't work at BioWare. I just know that they're not done with her yet.
