What is wrong with incorporating plenty of things from each and every genre or game? If the shoe fits, wear it. DA:O could have been easily an amazing title if it just had more time I do believe. The story was there. And yes I do wish it borrowed alot from the Dark Alliance aspect as those were console exclusive they had lots of things the console portion of DA:O could have used to make it a better experience. Not saying it should have been exactly its spiritual successor, no where at all have I stated that nor did I not wish it. Was just using it heavily as it is one of the best console wrpgs.
Edit: To give you some insight I love Final Fantasy Tactics, Orge Tactics, Neverwinter Nights, Diablo, Baldur's Gate (not just Dark Alliance), Everquest, and other games of those sort and still felt this game was missing stuff. I know each are different but at the same time carry a lot of the same.
