Because I've only had one decent game in the series and they're shelving the series forever
>>744629847>Sir, the Darkspawn are carving a bloody path throughout Ferelden. Scores of women are being kidnapped and hauled off to their dark lairs.>It's not a True Blight.>Oh, okay. We shall carry on as normal.
Reminder it's now canon that mystery niggas made him do it and there's nothing you can do about it
>>744629959>SIR, THE MILITARIZED CULT IS CLAIMING THAT THE END TIMES ARE NEAR, SO PLEASE IGNORE THE BUILD UP OF ORLESIAN FORCES ON OUR BORDER
>>744629959>SIR YOU MISGENDERED THE QUNARI... YOU MUST DO PUSH UPS NOW!!!
Would they have been better off making the games like a medieval fantasy Mass Effect? The warden being the main character for a series of games with a growing cast of party members?
>>744630292>>744630292>Would they have been better off making the games like a medieval fantasy Mass Effect?That's exactly the issue, they wanted it to be a fantasy ME so they rushed and did DA2
>>744630373Wasn't DA2 a game without the Warden or any of his party? A completely different story?
>>744630292They would've been better off having any kind of vision and refining it. Inquisition and DA2 combined had less groundwork laid than Origins alone. If nothing else, the thoughtfulness of the writing in Origins shows.
>>744629847there will be other crpgs in the futurethere will be no more raped DA gamesit sounds like a win-win to me
>>744630292It's likely that Hawke was meant to be that, but they pussied out and made the series an incoherent mess by ending every game on a cliffhanger but then switching to a new protagonist.
>>744630292The entire gimmick was the different origins that dictated character interactions and starting stats. To this day with better tech and resources they cannot outdo a game from 2008.
>>744630185Loghain would've never misgendered a qunari
>>744631280>Bioware literally just perfected a kino RPG formula>never use it again after DAO
I like Inquisitor and the theme of that game. I had really good writing around the nature of faith and religion in a world of magic.
>>744629847I have a bit of a nostalgia for DA2. It wasn't a good game, but at least Bioware was trying to make something out of a shitshow the EA threw at their laps.
>>744632834Hawke is still the best Bioware protag by a wide margin. Just unfortunately stuck in a beta release of a game.
>>744630681Every game has had a different protagonist, it's fucking stupid. From what I remember Veilguard had the gall to bring back one of the older characters and have them go>oh (new MC) is an old friend of mine they're the best they're super hot shitas a way of introduction despite nobody having ever met them before.
>>744631707DAO combat was also kino but they never used it again lmaomaybe for the better i don't want DAO but with trannies
>>744630292>The warden being the main character for a series of games I played DA:O after playing through through the ME trilogy a decade ago and that's what I was expecting when I was making choices and I was looking forward to how DA:2 would deal with my choices. Queue my disappointed to learn that my HoF being replaced with this guy named Hawke, still haven't played any other dragon age game besides origins. Good chance I will eventually go through the series but that disappointment pretty much killed most of my interest in the series.>>744634992A very good implementation of Rtwp in modern times. Definitely better then the owlcat dnd games.
>>744635049>A very good implementation of Rtwp in modern times. Definitely better then the owlcat dnd gamesI am impressed how the industry just never tried to replicate itCould imagine a more eastern styled DAO? Probably would sell like water
>>744635049DA2 needed 5-10 years to cook and it got 1.25 years. It's 80% on EA's outright disrespect to the development and 20% on Bioware listening to the wrong feedback.
>>744638926>tfw everytime I load DA:O up I get reminded of all the services that EA tried to make me use but ended up becoming defunct
>>744629847gonna be honest, i turned him into a grey warden and let Alistair fuck offAnora is queenand i was in the good boy run
>>744630292No, it doesn't matter that they switched characters and locations. They needed to keep the gameplay the same instead of thinking COD kids want to play an RPG, they needed more time than 1.5 years, and they should've unwokified it (this one was impossible cause Bioware was already rotten from within)
>>744639126It's really insane how much Bioware undervalued the following feedback>we liked the game, more please
is DA2 worth playing? i actually didn't enjoy DA:O very muchi did the dwarf city last, and by that time i was already ready to be done with the storythen you get the capital and it's maybe 2 hours of game thereand then in the last 2 minutes oh look there's an asspull dark ritual ("the reason my mother had me go with you!" out of nowhere, never mentioned)random ass final boss that gets battered by the random new Warden tat shows up in the last minute then dies
>>744639084>harden alistair>have him marry anora>recruit loghain>anora ruins everything by being the one that gives the speech at denerimAll my planning, to ruin because of this A blemish on an otherwise perfect world.
>>744639185It's the small things too, like redesigning darkspawn to look retarded because "you guys don't care about the story aspects and stuff right, you only care about it LOOKING different from generic fantasy"
>>744639242>good setting>shit story>shit gameplay>shit dungeons>shit abilities>shit companionsNo. Just write off the series if you didn't even like the first, every game became worse
it's honestly insane how thriving the Mass Effect online communities still are, while the Dragon Age ones are dead or simply OF cosplay whores showing off
>>744629847Teryn Loghain was deified. The Banns tell tales of him.
>>744629847Not sure how this became a seriesAfter 2s massive letdown and EA pay scamming it should have been forgotten by most. But people apparently gave it two more chances with games that got worse one after the other
>>744629847>Traitors! Which of you stood against the Orlesian emperor when his troops flattened your fields and raped your wives?I kneel
>>744630292>he warden being the main character for a series of games with a growing cast of party members?Yes but Bioware/EA thought they HAD to make it more like Mass Effect (while also making Mass Effect LESS like Mass Effect 1) so they tried to do a voiced character with a backstory in DA2 and it flopped horribly
>>744639912Bioware's name is magic. I _assume_ it has been entirely spent by now but maybe there's still retards who will buy THE NEW RPG BY BIOWAREIt's the equivalent of Larian making 4 dogshit games in a row, people would still buy the next one
>>744639912Bioware has no other franchises. Nothing else to their name. By the time DAI came out they ruined Mass Effect. It took some tranny monster and quirk chungus writing for people to finally wish death upon everything Bioware owns or stands for.
>>744639912Bioware had a boatload of goodwill from historical titles, combined with tasteless normalfags jumping on board with ME2.It meant they were a name that was perceived as good because everyone said they were good, so they got more chances than any other studio would have been given.
>>744642072According to that one post-mortem of AnthemI think by Schreier, sorry it worked the same internally too. They just constantly went "the Bioware magic will fix this game"
