@DaringMoosejaw: Did Hitler make an RPG?

Yes, he has made every single RPG that wasn't Baldur's Gate 2. That's what I hear on the internet, at least, so it has to be true.

The business case for The Exalted March just didn't exist?. Its a pity, but such is life. As i certainly enjoyed for the most part what DA2 had to offer and would have purchased that dlc for a conclusion to Hawke's story,just hope to see something o f hawke in the next game to make up for it. Hopefully the new game and protag fair better.

Because doing Felicia Day's self-insert was more important for Bioware's time and money than The Exalted March.

Yes, I'm just a little irritated.

So much this ^

@DaringMoosejaw: I am decepted!

Wait a minute - how did he have time to create all those RPGs... and run a genocidal campaign across Europe? EA perhaps?

From what I recently read it now seems DA3 is coming out 2014 and an expansion for DA2 has been cancelled.

Personally I think this is not fair, I love the DA series and DA1 had plentiful dlc especially Awakening which was well worth its price. If the DA2 dlc was going to be on par with Awakening it would have been very nice to have something more to play up until DA3 gets released even.

Bioware please could you release some more DLC for DA2 in the mean time, I've played DA1 around 6 times and just started my 6th game on DA2.

Because DA2 was so terribly broken it couldn't be fixed by slapping on some DLC which was (no matter what anyone says) basically more of the same.

What an awful game. Honestly is it any wonder it was abandoned?

I don't even think they bothered to put out a fix for the last dlc that is broken for the PS3.

This ship has sailed...and thank god for that.

Legacy and Mark of the Assassin were both great DLCs, well worth the money, and, in my opinion, both were better than DA2 itself. These DLCs showed me that Mike Laidlaw can indeed direct a team to put out an amazing piece of Dragon Age, but that realization opened another can of worms. Why was the base game so sub-par? The DLCs proved that this team can create quality, finished products in a short amount of time, and in a sick, cruel way that can work against them.

Personally, every time I'm killing twisted Carta Dwarves in Legacy or exploring the lush, green forests of Orlais in MotA, the thought always, without fail, crosses my mind. Why wasn't DA2 this good? This well crafted? Why do two 2-3 hour DLCs blow the base game out of the water? Basically every time I play DA2 two DLCs I dislike DA2 a little more. It's ironic and a bit tragic, but there it is. I imagine had Bioware released Exalted Marches, and it matched the quality of the previous two DLCs, I would have been driven to hate DA2, something I'd never want. I'm glad they scratched EM, even if it's for my own stupid, petty reasons.

But from a Bioware (Corporation) standpoint, I'd guess they cancelled EM because they thought it wouldn't turn a (big enough) profit. Not too many were interested at that point in given anything DA2 related another chance. I don't buy this "We cancelled it so we can shift all our focus to DA3" stuff they fed us. Had it been able to bring back a handsome profit, EM would've been released, no doubt about it. But, like I said, it's created an overall positive situation how things fell into place: I can go on not hating DA2, and Inquisition is bigger, suported by an amazing new engine and Bioware is actually taking their time crafting it.

Things could be worse.

Because the game was received very poorly and the DLC sales were also poor(Pretty funny because the DLC were better then the actual game)Hell a large portion of the sales DA2 got were because of DA:O.

In general, DLC sales are surprisingly bad, only a fraction of the original game's sales. So, add in the fact that DA2 didn't sell that well to begin with and how DA2 disappointed a lot of those who did buy the game, and it should be pretty simple why they stopped making DLC for DA2.

It was not thrown away per se. The content and assets I think I recall them saying would like to incorporate into the next game even if the characters change and story is altered, the location might be kept and the overall story within it might be similar though not exactly same. I could ofcourse be wrong, I just recall something in back of my mind that they wanted to use the assets from that DLC incorporated into next game so would not be wasted time and effort.

Mass Effect 3 is by no means a brilliant game. It is a very solid game, for sure, but for it to be a great or perfect game it should have been improved in many aspects, ranging from exploration, quests, journal design to autodialogue, mission linearity, reapers-chasing-the Normandy  "minigame", missing hub worlds and so forth. Personally, I expected ME3 to be the best of ME and ME2, but it sort of ended up treading its own path with all positives and negatives that arise from that.

[dewayne31]

And, despite it being on a totally different subject, so this.

[Liamv2]

I like DA2 but most people (at least on BSN) think it is awful so they won't want to bring out more DLC for it

Uh... who said anything about DA3 being moved to 2014?

DA3 will be coming out on Cinco de Mayo, 2014. Semi-confirmed rumor.

DA2's dlcs weren't selling well. I remember one of the devs trying to imply they were, but it was so obvious they (or maybe Tallis) weren't.  :/

I hope they share some of the plans after DA3 is released.

EpicBoot2daFace wrote...

It lacks in almost every single area imaginable. The only redeeming quality it has is it's characters, and two of them (Carver and Anders) were terrible.

[CrazyRah]

It's been said in the thread before. It's a demand/supply thing. If there was a large enough demand that it would be a good investment to create more DA2 content then they would probably do that. Since they decided not to i'm thinking the demand was too low for the investment to be worth it

...but will be available for pre-order on Quatro de Febrero surrounded by some jaw-droppingly awesome hype that will later turn out to be todos de mentiras.

Semi-confirmed rumour based on past experience. <_<

The same could be said of FFXIII.  Imagining bits of story is not a good way to tell a story. First damn rule of telling ANY story EVER is that showing is better than telling. I swear to God that I missed the best game in the ME franchize somewhere between ME2 and ME3. There are things between those two games that are so jarringly incosistent, you'd need an entire game to fill them in.

Well, it's very simple. DA2 is a piece of crap. We knows this. Bioware knows it. No point in wasting anymore time on it.

Speak for yourself, not for all of us. Many players liked the game, and don't need you including them in your hatred of the game.

Apparently not everyone knows it yet.

2014 is a pure speculation date.
