It had it's issues but at the same time it is in my opinion the greatest game they have made in a decade of great Bioware games. And yes, as well in my opinion Dragon Age 2 was by far the worst game they made. When 52% of players never even finished the game, that tells you something. I slogged through the game, hearing rumors that the second half was better, but when I hit the end I was like 'thats it?' In the end I have 20 hours played on the game, and 202 hours played on DA:O. There is my opinion right there. The 52% was that only 52% of players beat Origins, not DA2. According to the same site, it looks like 59% for DA2, so I guess it was an improvement, though not by much, which kinda hurts the whole point of the article. DA2 wasn't terrible, but it definitely was a step back. The reused environments were bad but tolerable (and could've been improved some just by having the minimap reflect what parts were closed off), the wave-based combat was terrible, but most importantly, the plot didn't work. The dialogue wheel system works pretty well 95% of the time. You get the nice option, the mean option, the neutral option, maybe some special options. That's not really all that different from the old style, except in the old system you'd get two of one of the types of options that had some minor differences but ultimately moved the conversation along the same way. However, when you get to the tricky decisions, those additional options end up being meaningful.
