Greywardens.com - Is Dragon Age II the End of BioWare as a Traditional RPG Creator?
Teasing me with something as open and infinitely superior in its complexity as was Dragon Age: Origins, only to follow up with something that is simply NOT in the same style or genre, is completely and utterly unfair. As a gamer and a fan, I care how much profit BioWare makes only insofar as it keeps them afloat to continue making more cool stuff that I like. Selfish, but true of most gamers. I don’t want to see things get blanded away from the features and elements that made BioWare my favourite game maker. While I understand their need to grow and expand, on an intellectual level, I am thoroughly disheartened at this turn of events.
For example, Half-Life 2, pretty long game in my books. However, it contains a lot of annoying filler, particularity the 2 hour hoverboat level at the beginning. Everytime I replay Half-Life 2, I skip that part. Also, the annoying crossing the trestle bridge. I'd take episode 2 over Half-Life 2 any day of the year, a great paced, 5 hour game is much better than a 12 hour inconsistent game.
I found Dragon Age to be the perfect length, I've beaten it 3 times and have over 250 hours logged into it.
