The fact is, Bioware dropped their original vision for DA like a bad habit. It's staring everyone square in the face, yet most here are denying it.

I would rather stab myself in the face with a knife than read your posts in this forum.

No they haven't

Darkspawn are still evil
The Qunari are still an expansionist "Foerign and Exotic" power
Ferelden still stinks of Dog
Elves are still living in Gettos
The Dalish are still outcasts
Templars still hunt. . .
. . . Apostates who are still mages outside Chantry control
Flemeth is still an enigma with multiple byzantine plots in motion

The original vision is still there, visual and gameplay tweeks do noting to the lore. And I care more about lore and plot than any flashy combat animation

Eh, kinda.
Me, I want more Dragon Age, but this seems to move further away all the time.

[drahelvete]

I don't understand why there has to be 50 threads about this at all times.

the pc version is the same style as the first and there trying something new if theres no changes in the sequel then theres no point in it.

Too many changes too quickly. I'll tell you a lot of people are taking things on "faith" around here that the game will correct issues in the demo and that reviewers are either stupid, or exagerating. If that does not prove to be the case, this place is going to get really ugly following release.

Speaking for myself personally It's a lot of small things added up that put me off DA2 rather than any one huge issue.

That's why I'm renting it, playing it to death for a week then forgetting about it till the Ultimate edition with all DLC comes along and I can see how the game was really meant to end.

The thing is, "Dragon Effect" as a term doesn't make a whole lot of sense. To borrow someone else's comparison, saying that the game is "Mass Effect with swords" is like saying a flight sim is a driving game with planes.

It's so broad as to not make sense. The dialogue wheel has been enacted--so? If it were in list form, I don't think people would blink an eye. Or at least many people wouldn't blink many eyes. A voiced protagonist is one of the silliest comparisons you can make--Geralt is voiced, has a name, and hundreds and hundreds of pages of backstory, but that doesn't change the praise it gets.

Saying it's like Mass Effect is a shorthand for saying the dialogue wheel and voiced protagonist, as well as the more visceral combat. But, in itself, "Dragon Effect" doesn't really mean much.

And anyone who actually bothered to read the article the OP linked to would have reached the end and read...

"At least what I can tell you, is that on March 8th, you will not be playing Dragon Effect 2 on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, but Dragon Age 2."

[October Sixth]

Is anyone else alarmed by the fact that someone (the OP in this case) could confuse "to" and "two"?

[Cuthlan]

wtf wrong thread.

Dragon Age + Mass Effect = Call of Duty.

It's funny because nobody reads the OP, and replies entirely based on the title of the thread.

Indeed, the key word there being 'assauged.'

More telling than that however is the fact that assuaged is an anagram of sausaged.

I guess I didn't get that memo. What was their original vision?

Ah yes - you want your Warden back and now this...the only response is:

The criricism is this: Bioware is bending over backwards to cater to popular taste. It's painfully obvious by now they want to be 'relevant' in the entertainment industry, rather than forging their own, unique visoin. They lift so much from film and other games it's no longer possible to ignore how derivative they have become.

Are you trying to use logic to debate against a troll?
Do not waste your time.
I agree with you though.

Or at least that was the impression all the old fans got.

Just as no one reads the instructions, they don't read articles either. The article he linked defeated the point of his topic completely. /facepalm
