I can't wait for Elder Scrolls VI. Nord for life.

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).
