So instead of consoles getting a proper console game, they get a port of a PC game that is impossible to have an optimized interface and gameplay on a gamepad?

If anything, it's consoles' loss.

And you've played enough of Dragon Age to make a fair, balanced decision on this? May I borrow your time machine?

Yeah. Every time a system gets a brand new game, they are actually losing, right? If that's the case, then the Playstation 2 was the worst system in the history of time, and lost so much.

At any rate, very excited, and will support DA:O on my X360 if it comes to the 360.

 

You don't need a time machine, only a brain. When it was Baldur's Gate franchise, consoles got a proper, good ARPG in which it's design philosophies were strictly for consoles. The reason Baldur's Gate 1 or 2 were never truly ported was because the gameplay and interface are simply too much a burden on gamepads.

For the gameplay seen on Dragon Age, it seems just like Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, and that says alot.
