I think I actually like Dragon Age II a lot more than most people. Mainly, though, I appreciate for what it nearly ended up being – not so much what it be. I mean, it explored some seriously interesting subject matter 'n dropped the tried 'n tired “epic globe stroll t' save the world” format in favor a a more self-contained, intimate tale. Time passed, things changed, characters (sort a) led their own lives, etc. Unfortunately, those lives all tended t' lead t' the same goddamn cave, 'n I’ve played FMV games with more robust character customization. t' hear BioWare tell it, though, the recently de-doctored RPG giant be taking those complaints extremely seriously. I do, however, still have a few reservations about the resulting plan for Dragon Age III.
