I really hate when developers take a beloved game and decide to make a sequel that feels like a cheap cashing in of the original.  This is one of those instances.

I mean why would you create a sequel with inferior graphics to the original?  What is the reasoning for that?  Why take a game with strong RPG elements, and make a sequel that plays out more like an action game?  It's like how Paramount tried to make Star Trek cool again by making Kirk a 20-something and skipping all the dialog that makes it a space opera.

When you try to "mainstream" a series that didn't start as mainstream, then you just lose the people who really loved the original; and the mainstream won't touch it, because they relate the sequel to the original game that they never considered playing.

Couldn't you have just made this game and given it a different title, with no lore references to Dragon Age?

If you're not willing to put in the time to make a sequel that lives up to its predecessor (and don't pretend this is an attempt to do just that), then please just move on to a different project.

Two things:



1) We didn't pursue a different series because we're the ones who made the first game in the series and this is the direction *we* wanted to take it in. I imagine there's always going to be people in any ongoing series that don't like what the creators have in mind. Not too much we can do about that-- you'll have to decide for yourself if you want to come along. There's lots of fun in store.



2) Enough with the hostility, people. If you don't like the tone of a post, don't chime in and add even more vitriol. If it's that terrible, report it and we'll deal with it ourselves. Silly nonsense like some of the stuff that's been pulled here will get people banned.



Thanks for the attention.

To answer the question of the OP. What would Bioware pursuing a different game series even do for you?. Are you under the impression that it would have been your dream game come true if it wouldnt have had the title Dragon Age on it?. That somehow, Bioware wouldn't have gone in the same direction with "that" game as they have with DA2?. That makes absolutely no sense. These guys are game designers. Artists. They want to push forward and try new things. Improve upon formulas they created. A new game title wouldnt change the fact that its you with the problem, not Bioware. Just sayin.

Allow me the laugh at your noble thoughts of bioware, they just want to make money. Artists? They just copied everything from ME2, and just as in that game focused all their efforts on making the combat "cooler" and more fast paced completely abondoning their roots.

Wow, that sounds -way- easier than what we did.

And we've left the realm of 'discussion' and entered the realm of 'shouting at each other in the vain hope that something will happen and people will change their minds'.
