The person who started this petition probably has some personal issues to deal with. Anders reacts in the same way when romancing women, it's his character.

I think we are losing sight of the problem, the main issue is with the design of the game which is the fault of Mike Laidlaw. Obviously David Gaider was responsible for the terrible storyline and script so he must also go.

Yes.  Mike Laidlaw.  Acting alone.  Created Dragon Age 2.

It's fun following you around and seeing what kind of crazy you're getting up to you little scamp you!

Good call, aftohsix. I'm starting to notice this, too.

This thread has caused me to

- 5 points / Faith in Humanity

And @ Crisis, jeez man/woman/thing-a-ma-jig, we get it. You didn't like the game, there are others out there that share the same opinion as you. But you are the minority to be honest DA2 was a success but because it is different from DA:O (thank god) you DA:O fanboys get your panties all-a-twitter and won't shut-up about how you think the game is bad.... news flash it's your opinion, the game isn't meant to be DA:O it's meant to be a design test to see how they want to go about DA3.

Same thing happened in ME2 boards, people were pissed that it wasn't exactly like ME1. Now ME3 should be the best of both worlds, but here is the thing, ME2 and DA2 have a lot more in common than you would think...

I think everyone has lost sight of the big picture. It's a game. People make errors in judgement, it happens. If it happens in a game, people don't lose their lives. Why don't you spend time petitioning for real problems to be solved? I'm sure, by now, BioWare are well aware of the dissatisfaction with Dragon Age 2. Hopefully they'll make some changes for when they release their next game. If you're not happy with their product, don't buy it or future products. Simple as that. Dragon Age is not the only RPG out there, after all.

If you really do want to still support BioWare, then make constructive comments in the appropriate threads regarding gameplay and story. Calling for people to be fired is not going to be taken seriously and is counter-productive. Please, people, be reasonable.

lol at this thread. David Gaider is great. Bioware aren't catering to everyone under the sun as long as they aren't catering to homophobes.

I am sometimes amazed that this is 2011 and still homosexual flirting in a game is such a world threatening issue for some people.

Noone needs to go. Firing people isnt going to help any advancement is it...I mean, if someone learns by a mistake (read: repeated environments and bizarre filler fetch quests), they can then build upon that. The team should just put the shortcomings down to learning and improve DA3.

I will say that the writing was pretty awful especially considering Bioware's usual high standards. Most characters were very bland and formulaic. Aveline the textbook "strong, independent female" character. Merril the textbook "naive, sweet and ever so cute" character we're supposed to find irresistibly adorable(I just found her irritating). But still the writing wasn't the only problem.

Oh yes. i´d say we raise him to some very high position in EA. That´s where he belongs, according to his opinion on what makes a good game, and if he´s up high enough he won´t be in a position to ruin other games on account of being busy with marketing and sh!t....

Obviously. I'm sure Bioware will start their termination proceedings immediately, after all, who needs the guy who conceived the whole Dragon Age verse to begin with, no, we need quality writers who'll respin the same DAO story over and over to keep a portion of gamers happy.

Yes, that's what Bioware needs.

I blame Casey Hudson for Dragon Age 2. This is all his fault. Also Shigeru Miyamoto. I heard Miyamoto made the decision to reuse locations. Definitely his fault! And what would a developer ****ing thread be without blaming Ser beezlebub himself, Bobby Kotick. Definiiitely Kotick's fault.

Fire them all and hire all new designers who have high metacritic scores!

It's either this, or stalk the development team.  This way is probably better for everyone.

-100 for inanity

The joke's on us all now, as we all paid $60 to be beta testers for gameplay and story, aside from also being beta testers to help fix the massive bugs in the game as well.

While the shortcummings of Dragon Age 2  were certainly a collective effort of failure it's only natural for those with the most responsiblity over the project would recieve the most criticism. Although I have a sneaky suspicion that the head janitor is also to blame some how.
