I, like many others are a first time poster on here. And I just wanted to be another angry voice among the rest and say my peace.
Ive never been a huge bioware fan. In fact, Ive never bought a bioware game until a few months ago. I noticed that Origin was giving DA:O away for free, and I was looking for a game to play in my spare time and decided to give it a try. In a few months I did one play through of DAO. I fell in love with the game. I fell in love with my character, I fell in love with Alistair, I fell in love with the story and my decisions. I just completely fell head over heels with the game. So after I finished my playthrough I decided to go ahead and buy DA2. I wasnt as completely impressed with the game but I still enjoyed it. Combat wasnt as good, but it was still playable with the gameplay options and controls I was very easily to go through the game and one playthrough in a couple weeks. The only thing that really made me mad about 2 was the same dungeons and zones over and over again, and what they did to Anders. But I was over it when I realized that Inquisition was coming out, so I did a quick playthrough to get through the story and make my decisions so I could play this new game.
Imagine my surprise when I load up this brand new game, in all my excitement, create my character and log in for the first time. I go to press both my mouse buttons to move my character and instead it shoots the weapon.. huh? This isnt right.. So I chalk it up to different controls and start to program my brain to the WASD movements.
Then I go to pause the game only to realize.. SPACE is jump..? Okay, I can get used to that.. I mean, Im a seasoned MMO player, and in MMOS where SPACE is normally jump.. BUt Im not coming off playing an MMO, Im coming off playing months of DAO, DAA and DA2.. After 10 minutes I realize that SPACE is just not going to work for jumping.. so I go to the controls and swap Space for Pause and Pause for Jump.. Okay.
I go a little more into the game, coming upon cutscenes that are completely choppy.. But not a dealbreaker.. Maybe its my settings.. so I change them down from Ultra to High and that seems to help a bit. Another couple minutes of play and Im beginning to realize that I have to continuously press the magnafying glass to search for loot.. so I change that to TAB key, but instead of just having it pressed down at all times while Im playing, I have to continuously press it. Not a big deal it.. I get used to it a little bit. I go to pick up the loot, and instead Im shooting off my weapon. I cant click to walk to loot, click to walk to people, click to walk to open doors.. I have to be right ontop of everything. Now Im getting a little annoyed but Im still playing because Im excited. The Rifts Im trying to close are almost impossible, I get accustomed to the TC, I can barely fight anything, people arent listening to me, Cass is off doing whatever, my character (whose a mage) wants to run up and hit everything (Wtf??)
So I manage to make my way to the tutorial boss.. Tutorial boss! And I die. I completely wipe. Unable to click the stupid Rift, unable to get my characters do listen to me, using up the potions like crazy.. wipe. On a tutorial boss. On hard mode. So, I chalk this up to a new game, getting used to new controls. So I load up and try again.. This time I put the game on Normal mode and I manage to pass it, but now I beyond frusterated and cant get used to the new controls or anything, and log out to go to google and search for a way to fix everything.. and thats when I come across THIS thread.
Im not normally one to go researching games and what-not before I play them. I know games I like to play and I just buy them. I played DAO, and DA2 in a few months, and went straight to this game. This is when I realize.. everything. And Im beyond disappointed. Probably not to the point of everyone else, who have been Bioware customers from the get go, years and years of Bioware loyalty.. But Im disappointed.
I will say this.. Im a major avid Sims player. Sims 4 was released just a couple months ago. And I had to go community forums to read why that game was incomplete. The Sims 4 was released with over 80+ features, released with the past 3 sims games, not in the game. Basic features. That came with all the other games. Features that made the game unplayable. Features, that, GLARINGLY made the game NOTICEABLY incomplete. It was VERY obvious that EA has gotten its claws into Maxis, a company that I, myself, HAVE been with since the release of the original sims, since the game that I played Sims 1 and all of its expansions, Sims 2 and all its expansions, Sims 3 and all of its expansions, and now Sims 4. And for me, that was the game I inwardly cried over.. the destruction of the Sims 4. Released way to early. Released incomplete. And EA/Maxis is still releasing weekly patches and updates to add features into that game which were completely missing.
In that respect I think they will do right and try to fix this game. But I am broken hearted that EA is making the Bioware ship sink.. and sink fast. In the utterly completely same way that it ruined and destroyed Maxis and my Sims.
In this, I just wanted to let people know my problems and issues with this game are the same as everyone elses.. and that its not just Bioware that EA sunk.. Seems its not Bioware thats the complete problem. Because I see a trend that expands further then just Bioware, and it looks to me, like people should be pointing the finger further then Bioware.
In that, Im doing the same thing I did with the Sims 4 and Im calling them to complain and ask for my refund in the morning. This will be the last EA game I EVER purchase. EA has screwed me for the LAST time.
