Oh crap. Should have never bought this game... I'm a PC gamer and DA:O was awesome, immersive, and an Experience to play through. I still remember when I first saw the wide open landscape before me, and I zoomed out to enjoy the whole view.... Just sitting there, taking a long look at the beautiful scenery and almost hearing the birds and little summer insects, almost being able to breath in the fresh air.
Damn, this DA2 junk is just another off-the-shelf action game. I don't think I've got the energy to play through this piece of junk, it's just mindless hack'n'slash all the way thru... Also, in Origins, I regullarry paused the game mid-combat, just to pan around the camera, zoom out and in to examine the tactical/strategical points of the battle... and to admire the artwork. All this is now GONE. Tears were almost running down my face when I first saw a darkspawn die: it was just a cheap pair of cut-off legs and a comical blood splatter on top of it.
This game should have never been sold under the DragonAge banner. I was expecting to get a DragonAge quality game, but this is just another hack'n'slash action rip-off. I'm so so so sorry that the damage has already been done: Bioware got my money, because I was stupid enough to trust that the DragonAge name would carry a stamp of quality with it.
