Was the problems with "DA2" actually addressed in "Legacy"? I have no idea, I never played the game.
Neither did I, DA2 got thrown out after the first playthrough, but, I do think, Bioware will do the same thing it did with DA2, it will bury its head in the sand, wave goodbye to the hardcore fans who are upset, and pander to the 'huge faceless' majority of gamers who just play and enjoy whatever **** that gets put infront of them.
It was the same for Call of Duty and World of Warcraft and EvE Online companies now, thanks to online play, they have statistics about everything, they have been saying for a while now,
'We dont care what you say, we make our decisions based on what 'you' do, we look at player 'behavior' and respond accordingly" - most game companies today.
Its just the direction the industry is moving in, its leaving its 'golden age' and now entering its 'sell out make money' stage like Hollywood in the 80's and 90's when all it cared about was 'blockbusters'.
Ill tell you how this will end, Bioware will release DLC, that doesnt make the changes we want, it will simply enrage more people, as time goes on, the hardcores will give up, and a new wave of players who 'love' the ending and game, wil start to attack the few remaining 'original' community members who hate the ending.
Eventually the forum will be full of nothing but Kinect threads, and 'best James Vega quote' thread and people wil laugh at the silly RPG players who once got upset about this game.
They will all be super excited about Biowares new 3rd person shooter, which will be a Gears of War clone.
