Well I think part of the problem is that they tried to do with DA what they did with ME1. ME1 was by all accounts a better game than ME2. Better ACTUAL story (not just expositin about characters), better RPG elements, more to explore, and a pretty neat revolutionary combat system in an RPG. Then Bioware came around and shit on it and made a slightly worse sequel.
They then tried it with DA, however DAO was a much different beast than ME1, one that attracted people starved for a non retarded, not compeltely dumbed to level of profound mental retardation combat, big world, big story, kind of deep skill tree, type of game. Then they shit on it and made DA2 which was a significantly worse sequel. Problem is that the people who liked DAO weren't like the people who liked ME1, and I guess they just realized how different they were.

I thought ME tone didn't get hindered in 2. The combat and the RPG elements did (it was um dumbed down, as they say), but not the overall tone.

Well yeah, I agree, I wasn't trying to say the tone was ruined, it was definitely there. That's why I said ME2 was just slightly worse. Wasn't bad enough for me not to buy it, but still worse. Meanwhile DA2 was just bad, like... BAD. I still can't even imagine how they designed this game.
"Ok so players liked the strategic difficult combat."
"well fuck that, we need dumb combat so the most retarded idiot out there can play it!"
"People also liked all the locales"
"well fuck that too, too much time and effort"
"I hear people liked the expansive story"
"Yeah well, just fuck that"
Then they have the audacity to be like "Oh em gee, why didn't people like our game?!" If every sequel/game like this wasn't propped up by idiots like this, gaming would be in a much better state.
