Hello Bioware forum

 

First post since the old forums and first of all I will say I prefer the old ones look and feel as this one is a bit too

shiny and corporate looking to me but that probably just because I'm getting nostalgic and don't like change

 

Anyway I was wondering what the communities opinion on Enchanced editions is? By Enchanced edition I mainly refer

to what CDProjekt RED did with the Witcher series by realing extensive updates that vastly improved their game a year

after release for free to those who already owned the first and second Witcher. Because of this I fell in love with CDProjekt RED

as a consumer and bought the Witcher two collectors edition and have purchased the Witcher 2 on Xbox360, GOG.com and

Steam because I was so impressed with their progressive approach to their consumers.

 

Now that I have finished gushing about CDProjekt RED I shall get to the point.

 

My confidence in Bioware waned quite abit after Dragon Age 2 and the Mass effect 3 ending (liked the ending but didn't like the

presentation of it before Directors cut). However I still love what Bioware does and treat my Old Republic Suscription kinda like

a monthly charity endorsement   The one thing that saved Dragon Age 2 for me was a voiced protagonist who I could play as

a jokester/sarcastic person and the fact that companion banter was still a great enjoyment but I believe that Dragon Age 2 needed an Enchanced edition as to this day there are still bugs which is unacceptable to me so long after release. I remember reading from

a Bioware employee that Hawkes journey was supposed to be finished in a planned dlc called The Exalted March but because the game didn't meet sales expectations they basicly threw Hawkes story and loose ends into the bin

 

Ah man I've gone on to long now but basicly as someone who is about to spend £120 on a collectors edition I would like to think that after release the game will be updated to the level it should be!

 

So what does everyone else feel about Enchanced editions?

Enhanced Editions certainly are very consumer friendly but most of what they did was only necessary because parts of the game were rather neglected. Witcher 2 had horrible combat that was fixed in the end by one of their developers in his free time. The difficulty scaled horrible as well making the tutorial horrible for first time players, if you weren't as lucky as me to be able stun and execute the more difficult enemies.

 

Or otherwise said many developers patch their games many times they don't sell it as Enhanced Editions though, the EE includes some extra content on the other hand though.

Well in my opinion I believe that DAII was rather neglected especially when it came to re-using areas which for a AAA release I will not tolerate as much as I would in an indie or other less moneyed company   Also Act 3 end boss... REALLY?!? I recently replayed DAII and literally burst out laughing when it came to that particular scene again

Who said anything about DA2 or Bioware in particular?

Ha you got me there Schreckstoff Basically my whole post is just saying please do what CDProjekt Red does with it's consumers now I wasn't affected by Sebastian and Javik the Prothean dlcs that were finished after gold but before release as I had digital deluxe editions but if I didn't I would have been mega pissed off at how Bioware dealt with the dlcs and how much they cost unlike the free dlc for the Witcher 2 (though I admit with the exception of Enchanced edition the dlc was very minor and not as much content as Biowares dlc).

 

I don't know how to explain it but after the Mass Effect 3 endings debacle and DAII I just feel like Bioware has become less caring which I know doesn't really matter as they are a company who need to make money but I feel like they have lost a certain something
