It's not an excuse. Dannymac Send a noteboard - 11/04/2011 06:36:45 PM
It's all one underground. The fact that they didn't cut out the parts they didn't use any individual time is what tells me that it is what they were going for. It's why the game was played out entirely in and around Kirkwall, rather than spread out through many locations, like it could have been. Repeated use of the dungeons was no more lazy than the repeated use of Hightown, or the Hanged Man.

I don't really need to make excuses... I enjoyed the game, played it enough to get my moneys worth and more. It's curious to me that you were so thrown over... what? Wallpaper? There was story there, relationships, politics, gameplay. Plenty to get into.

Weren't you one of the folks complaining about the DRM? Is it possible that you let the politics of the publishers interfere with your enjoyment of the game? Or was this a first shot at a Bioware product and maybe they're just not your thing?

Bioware: Neglecting the Straight Male Gamer Kronin al'Sulc - 03/04/2011 11:15:30 PM 1715 Views
I think the OP is full of shit. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:23:28 AM 910 Views
Having Anders get pissed at you when you won't sleep with him is stupid. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 01:35:58 AM 935 Views
I'm not disappointed much, but that's because I had low standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:47:22 AM 857 Views
I must say, my BGII character is a woman... Legolas - 04/04/2011 10:18:46 PM 840 Views
yah, definitely. that's pretty much WHY I have low romance standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 11:58:50 PM 821 Views

If that dude wasn't into Merrill, than he's a fag. *NM* Dan - 04/04/2011 01:28:55 AM 544 Views
They're neglecting the gamer demographic in DA2. Sexuality has nothing to do with it. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 01:33:45 AM 856 Views
yah they were pretty empty. The only reason I'm not irritated is that at least they're completed. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:50:54 AM 886 Views
Don't worry; you'll be able to get it as overpriced DLC installments! *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 03:03:24 AM 398 Views
YES!!! That just makes me feel so much better!!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 03:34:12 AM 356 Views

So, not a fan? Dannymac - 04/04/2011 06:15:21 AM 937 Views
No. I haven't even finished because I'm so bored. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:49:14 AM 873 Views
They could have done a LOT more with all the in-city strife. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 02:32:11 PM 836 Views
I don't feel bad paying for it, solely cause I never paid for DA1 *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 04/04/2011 10:01:43 PM 456 Views

As far as excuses for developer laziness go, that's a pretty poor one. Ghavrel - 10/04/2011 12:02:23 AM 792 Views
Yah this is what I was talking about. The repeat of tunnel systems in totally unrelated areas. *NM* LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 05:32:11 PM 370 Views

No, it's not that they keep coming... LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 05:38:30 PM 813 Views

...did you even read my main post in this thread? Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 07:08:31 PM 826 Views
It's not like I said they broke the game for me LadyLorraine - 11/04/2011 07:40:23 PM 913 Views
Something I wonder then: Why is it called Dragon Age "2"? Zalis - 04/04/2011 03:06:46 PM 871 Views
Pretty much. EA likes to churn out franchises. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 07:41:57 PM 366 Views
Huh? Dannymac - 08/04/2011 04:59:49 PM 876 Views
Penny Arcade had a good post on this topic recently beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 09:39:21 PM 1279 Views
Point of fact: in DA: O you're fighting the Fifth Blight, not the First. Ghavrel - 09/04/2011 10:10:17 PM 941 Views
Yeah seriously, the Fifth Blight was pretty lame in retrospect beetnemesis - 11/04/2011 04:01:03 AM 850 Views
That's pretty much true. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 04:08:48 AM 818 Views
Wow, yeah, you're right. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:43:40 PM 878 Views
I've actually liked the combat in most Bioware games beetnemesis - 04/04/2011 10:46:12 PM 941 Views
I think the fact that most NPC possibilities go either way is kind of weird. Zalis - 04/04/2011 05:41:04 AM 990 Views
Zevran was really the main one that would hit on you no matter what. Kronin al'Sulc - 04/04/2011 06:13:04 AM 1032 Views
saying Zevran is kind of a slut... LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 06:14:54 AM 813 Views
On a general note, what annoys me... Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 07:19:32 AM 822 Views
In fairness to Bioware, in this game you get different bonuses for "rivalry." *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:50:29 AM 394 Views
Oh, that's nice. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 09:45:21 PM 835 Views
I will let you know when the game comes down to less than 20 bucks... MightyYT - 04/04/2011 07:50:06 AM 802 Views
Yea, the times I do play this game just gives me a longing for DA *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 04/04/2011 09:58:03 PM 470 Views
That's just bullshit Fox and Ravens - 04/04/2011 06:42:14 PM 811 Views
i bet he still initiated all his romances Foxhead - 05/04/2011 10:42:40 PM 841 Views
