This game was thoroughly pathetic. It's like they took DAO and made it its most retarded, inbred, hillbilly child they could find. Pisspoor conversation (what happened to the rdidiculous amount of conversatoin choices?), pisspoor combat ( I honestly feel like an idiot playing this dumbed down, scrubbed up combat system), and linear questing (we wouldn't want those poor scrubs getting lost and shit, now would we?) generally make this game extremely dumbed down. It is as mediocre as a game can get (don't even start on story telling, go read a damn book if you want any story that surpasses the "pathetic" and "laughable" measures).

All in all, a great franchise that has been ruined by trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator (noobs, scrubs, chobs, new people, whatever you wanna call them).

Still waiting for EA to ship my Signature Edition... but from what I've read most of the complaints are about it being different then DA:O.

I hope they didn't change what I liked about DA:O. From what I read it seems like I'll likely enjoy it, other then the button mashing but we'll see...
