Dragon age as a franchise showed promise when it was an actual modern take on a CRPG.
Ever since DA2 it became worthless, casualized dreck gameplay attached to a story written by and for a very specific californian millennial crowd and, frankly, they can keep it.

Unironically, good for you. Enjoy it while your taste is still where it’s at, it probably won’t stay there but more power to you in the meantime.

oh no I love all the games. i know there’s a lot of “Origins purists” that love to trash talk any game in the franchise that isn’t origins, but most of us love all the games. for different reasons.
i sincerely hope you have branched out to other games that were more like Origins in the years since it’s been out. and I hope you’ve found ones you like.

I came into origins because it was in a branch I liked, so yeah, I have eaten well in the past and there’s more than enough for me to keep eating well for a good long time.
To me it’s mostly the obvious lack of care of DA2 towards the lore and even the internal consistency of the world and characters in that same game that made me acutely aware of the downfall of BioWare.
I’ve since moved on to other things. Mostly indie stuff, and stuff like BG3 which is much more in my general direction.
I’ll miss OG BioWare (Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 BioWare, to clarify) but I’ll live.
