Mass Effect 2 was good because it was a refinement of what Mass Effect was. ME tried to be a fast-paced action rpg, and ME 2 built on and streamlined that, making it a better game. Sure the story wasn't as good, but all around it was better, and had lots of memorable fights and conversations. Now, how many does Dragon Age 2 have? Honestly Bioware, I can't remember a single fight, conversation, or quest that made me say "Wow" apart from the high dragon at the bone pit and "I want to be a dragon." and I'm in act 3. That's it. No "Ah yes, reapers," Harbinger, or nasty Loki mech bosses. Do you know why this is? It's because you tried to force DA II to be epic.

You went to extremes with the two romance options, trying to create another Morrigan with Isabella (and failing miserably because you tried) and trying to create another Tali with Merrill (whom you also failed miserably with, as Tali at least had the balls to stand up to Shepard sometimes). You went to extremes with every fight, putting in 20 bazillion waves of respawns or giving the enemies gigantic health bars. You gave the game false difficulty (assassins) to make up for the lack of tactics imposed by respawns and the lack of difficulty imposed by individually tough enemies. You tried giving everyone unique armor to make it more like ME 2. You shoved the conversation wheel into a franchise it didn't belong in, poorly. I remember once or twice in both Mass Effect games I picked an option that had Shepard say something very different from what it said. It happens to me in DA 2 almost every other quest and I roll eyes. You tried to force the game to be an action RPG, but failed utterly to make it a remotely good or fun one due to enemy numbers and health. Basically, you tried to force this to be as ME 2 was to ME 1. Only this isn't a refinement of Origins at all, it's something entirely different, and it's also bad. I have no idea why you even did this. Origins was your best selling game ever. Have you learned your lesson? All of those things fit fine in the Mass Effect franchise, but make a **** game when you try to force them into a crpg franchise.

Who am I? Total PC elitist. BG 2 was the pinnacle of RPGs and consoles drag down the quality of all multiplat games simply by existing. That's just how I feel about platforms, to shed a little background on who I am. I don't care that this is an action RPG or that it has a voiced protagonist with a set identity. I don't care that they set companion armor in stone for looks. I don't care that the inventory is dumbed down. I don't care too much that the number of mage spells was cut down massively. I do care that it does all of these things very, very poorly. I preferred Mass Effect 2 to Mass Effect 1, but Bioware made a really ****ty game with this one by trying to artificially create a new Mass Effect 2. All the systems they ported in from mass Effect are fine in the right game, but they didn't belong here.
