Doesn't matter what you think of it. NOT A RETCON.

I seriously don't understand why you frequent these forums as much as you do, Alistairlover94. You appear to hate every single aspect of DA2 and constantly moan 24/7. Surely that isn't good on one's health. Why don't you spend your time doing something you enjoy?

I would. If I wasn't at work.

You have access to the internet. There is a lot you can do on the internet. That isn't an excuse.

Or maybe the Guardian's magic simply protected Leliana with an illusion. (like a combination of "Decoy" and the mad hermit's illusion teleport trick)

Remember that the gauntlet already could manifest mirror images of your party.

Hmm... very true. Hell, Shianni doesn't even die in the CE Origin and she magically appears in the Gauntlet challenge so the Gauntlet can manifest tangible Simulacrum in a pinch.

I personally hate the import feature as I feel that it limits the writers from allowing major choices within each individual game to prevent massive problems down the line. But I got yelled at as people seem to enjoy the imports.

 
To keep up with trend consider yourself being yelled at.

It is not that much of a problem, unless that when developing the game you make it so.

Changing location makes what happen in ferelden largely irrelevant to the new story you are telling.
even if the action would be placed in ferelden again and about the alienage. Your posterior choices only influence the hook-up to the new story.

For example lets say that you helped the elves in the alienage and it is all good and well when DA:x finished .
Now DA X+1 is dealing with alienage up raising you can still have an elven rebellion going the way you write it. You just need to change the way you are getting into the story.

I'm constantly amazed by people who think that DA3 will feature a new protagonist.

DA2 served as one giant set up for DA3. It was basically answering the question "how does Hawke feel about stuff and about his party?"

They made the game decisions follow such a rigid structure so that there is no way you could complicate the beginning of the next game. And people think that DA3 isn't going to be a direct sequel? Really?

Chris Aveline's position in designing games seems more comparable to Mike Laidlaw's than David Gaider's.

Mr. Avellone wrote my favorite RPG of all time, Planescape: Torment.

I guess in that game they didn't have lead designer/writer separate like in DAO/2. Different era, can't really compare them directly, too many complicating factors. Does disservice to both.

Seems to me that people have gotten a bit lazy...

Yeah, it has nothing to do with how huge and difficult games are to make now compared to over a decade ago. Nothing at all.

Bioware forums... hissy fit arguments are why I read them. It's like Springer for gamers.

It's clear who the fool is here if you believe games are just as easy to make now as before. I am seriously lost for words on how to respond to such stupidity. So I'll just leave it at that.

Wikipedia is your friend. It's certainly more stimulating than playing the game to learn the story.
