Eh, really... I don't know how I feel about this. Mass Effect 2 and Baulders Gate 2 and are my favorite bioware games by far... and they are kinda opposite ends of the spectrum.
Dragon Age, felt Like Mass Effect 1 imo. Good Ideas but unpolished, clunky, with too much fluff. the gifting affection level thing... ick
off the topic... I'd still argue with anybody that ME2 has more meaningful RPG elements than ME1, as there was less choice, but the choices in weapons/powers/upgrades were more meaningful and differentiated from eachother more imo. They just cut out fluff, and maybe some of the stuff they shouldn't have/didn't have time to implement fully... but then the free DLC, had the hammerhead and that was much improved over the mako... and the hammerhead parts of overlord was amazing, and blows any of the mako parts of ME1 to hell imo. Maybe they did that for DA2, maybe not >_> who knows.
But saying that... ME was always a shooter with RPG elements or shooterRPG :P imo... Dragon age was not. So maybe I feel they should have tried to polish the more traditional elements... and got rid of gifting >_> and that stupid thing that happens in these types of rpgs, how it damages you even if you are a distance away.
But I didn't like dragon age as much as some people in this thread, nor dislike it as much as darth... soo ehhh, really, it's bioware... they make great games most the time. not gonna get to distressed abou it.
