Alby is right and for those saying we don't have the right to complain, that's just not true. I'm sure dragon age 2 is a good game, but were upset because it's not the game it was supposed to be. I've got plenty of action RPG's to play but what I don't have now is a strategy RPG, so I feel a little cheated.
And I'm also tired of this concept that console gamers need dumber down version's. Most console gamers, like me used to be PC gamers and switched for some simplicity in hardware and a little more comfort on the couch, we didn't switch cause we wanted games to be less complex. I was dissapointed that Dragon age origins didn't provide a top down view for the console, and for no reason other than the excuse that console gamers don't want that and it's really hard with analog sticks. Both reasons are retarded and insulting, and hopefully bioware will get the message.

Last time I checked it wasn't up to the PC community to decide how Bioware should make their games. They are their OWN company. O.K. some people may be pissed off about the new direction the company is taking but the same thing has happened with nintendo (wii) and microsoft (360).
The core elements of DA:O are still intact for DA2 but obviously people are too naive to give the game a proper chance.

Absolutely, Bioware should make their game, and be prepared for the consequences when it does not meet the expectations of it's user base. A product will only have demand when the consumer wants it, and right now the consumer is speaking loud and clear.
My comments about being upset that the game isn't what it was supposed to be is a comment towards taking an established franchise (really even beyond DA:O and more towards the Bauldurs gate D/D style of gameplay) and changing its mechanics so it is no longer what its userbase wanted. I would be happy if Bioware launched a new IP that focused on action elements and moved away from the RPG format, but it was wrong for them to take an existing IP with an existing userbase. Now that userbase doesn't have an outlet and will look elsewhere to spend it's money.
Your comments about the core elements of the DA:O being still intact either show you haven't played Dragon Age 2, DA:O, or either.
