Dragon Age II "Exalted March" Expansion Cancelled

BioWare's Mark Darrah tweets word that a Dragon Age II expansion called Exalted March was cancelled as part of the just announced transition the developers of the RPG sequel are making to the "next phase" of the series (thanks GameSpot). Word is:
We did have plans for an expansion pack to DA2 but, other DA opportunities came up. There were even shirts! It was called Exalted March.

They are making a mess of this, who knows what the hell their plans are.

DA:O created a new sytem that felt it was made to play by pausing a lot. The base as a whole got used to that as DA. That said, I found the options shallow. But for version 1 ok, I get what the DA:O lover (which I wasn't) would assume, DA2 would build upon DA:O. Still be paused based mainly with more options. Logical.

DA2. Played demo, what I found how it worked best was to scrap pause base and play it full action. To me it played great that way and the spawns in that case were not a problem. HOWEVER there was a legion of players that were ready for more pause base action and spawns and such broke that.

So in my little world I did enjoy DA2 better, to me it played better as an action game then DA:O played as a fake turn based game. But I get that most players don't roll with what is given and set expectations on how they must play. I do get that.

But with all this new news. Are they going to come up with a 3rd way now to piss off DA:O'ers and the few that loved DA:2 as an action game? Seems plausible...

To me the only thing DA3 needs to be is DA2 with a new open world. Tired of Biowares NWN engine in insanely small areas and constant loads. Immersion breaking! Until they prove otherwise, I don't believe they can create a game engine themselves.
