I know there must be thousands of threads like this and while I do not want to whine, I know of no other way to send feedback to the developers - apart from not buying the DLC.

I tried, I really tried to play DA2. I actually had it preordered the first day pre-order was available. But the only reason I did that was because I thought it would be in sync with the first game. Yes, the graphics are awesome, yes, the animations are great, yes, the characters seem interesting, yes, the cinematics and production value is extremely high.

But, it's not the same genre. I am sorry for saying this, but this is not anything like the fantasy RPG DA:O was. This borders on an FPS with a mediocre story, 0 replayability, limited world building and character development that is very close to the FPS mentality: "get a new gun - develop your character - plod through enemies" sort. I won't even mention the ridiculous inventory, or the very much shorter playtime - which is shameful for a Bioware game tbh.

Making combat remotely interesting apart from SFX bling bling ? Oh, that's easy, just have everyone magicaly appear around the player's group - all the time!. Honestly, I really hope your developers are spending all the time with Star Wars, cause if that's the best the can come up with...

It doesnt mean it's bad for the audience that likes this sort of thing, but it's bad for the audience that liked the genre DA:O was.

Mass Effect 1 and 2 were essentialy the same game. I very much liked them both, with all their shortcomings, whatever they were. DA:O and DA2 are not the same game.

I cant even say if DA2 is like the ME series, because I actually liked the ME series and will preorder the 3rd installement. DA3 ? Definately not if it's anything like DA2.

But DA2 was the best they could come up with.  You seem fascinated with the idea that the DLC is an intrinsic part of the actual game.  It's not.  Perhaps the day Bioware gives all us suckers who pre-ordered DA2 this DLC for free to SHOW us they can come up with better it will be.

The counterpoint here is that many of the comments and critiques of Dragon Age II were taken into account when making products after Dragon Age II was released. The Legacy and Mark of the Assassin DLC products both show some of the steps we have taken in addressing some player complaints. No, it is not part of the Dragon Age II main game--as that would be impossible unless we had some kinda time machine--but it does indicate change over time. It would be unreasonable, in my opinion, to expect the core game to be 100% perfect before "allowing" us to move on to new products which allow us more opportunity to address core issues.

EDIT: If you want to stamp your feet and cross your arms to say "I won't believe BioWare is listening and changing based our comments unless I see it in the base game," that's your prerogative, i guess. but that's just a tad unreasonable, don't you think? If you don't believe I can juggle 182 babies named Lorenzo, and I tell you I performed my 182 Lorenzo-juggling act live on Letterman, it's a little unfair to say "nope, you're not doing it in front of. That means you can't or won't do it and I'm right."

P.S. I have never claimed I can juggle 182 babies all named Lorenzo. At least one of them has to be named Filbert.

Snip the quote pyramids, please, folks. Some ridiculous bickering removed.
