  I agree. Gameplay from 2 to origins is shameful.

  It’s story is another matter. Have come around on that in recent years.

    I feel like the story has good ideas but ultimately fails, personally. I like the idea of struggling against inevitable tragedy, but when the cause of such tragedy was against always immediately in arms reach of you and caused by a single person it falls flat.

  DA2 has several bad qualities. I personally would not generalize it as a bad game. I am willing to concede that this is an unpopular opinion, however.

  You have your opinion but it’s definitely in the vocal minority.

    What? You’re in the minority here. DA2 is known as one of the most notoriously bad sequels ever made.

    It was obviously made under extreme time constraints, as well as by a different team due to EA meddling.

    It is a blatantly unfinished game that had good ideas that didn’t get enough time in the oven.

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Age_II lots of good information in the wiki page, of which none of your claims are accurate except for maybe the polarizing views on reused assets but that’s literally by design, not crunch. It sold more than origins and sold over a million copies in two weeks, that’s pretty damn good. Nice rage baiting though.

        Wow knowing the asset reuse was by design makes me feel way less charitable towards DA2. (I don’t know if I’d go as far as the other commenter and say it’s “a bad game,” but I didn’t like it.)
