That's too bad, since the worst part of Dragon Age is the gameplay.

What was wrong with the first game's gameplay?

It's been a while, but I remember boring, WoW-inspired, button-spamming action. Perhaps I rolled the wrong class, and I heard the PC version played better, but it was a big letdown after all the talk of being the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate.

I know the PC and console versions were somehow different, so this might be apples to oranges, but I don't remember that at all, especially not the button spamming (played the PC version). Maybe you're thinking of DA2? That game certainly had button-spamming up the wazoo, although it was more ARPG than WoW.

I don't see much distance between the two, apart from the obvious multiplayer aspects and lack of character collision in WoW.

Let's just say that I was expecting combat to be more tactical, but any tactics that might have existed I found too tedious to bother using, so I wound up hacking and slashing my way through to the story (which had its own issues).
