"I hate you, Bioware!"

[andraste]

Hanging out on the official Dragon Age forums is usually an exercise in frustration. It's not that I don't think there are any valid criticisms to be made of Dragon Age 2, or that I don't understand why some people hated the game. I'm just slightly bewildered about why anyone would hang around a forum for seven months to complain about it. I mean, I hate the original Neverwinter Nights campaign, but you don't see me on message boards every day making posts about how much I loathe Aribeth. (I could, though. Don't get me started.)

It's worth it, though, for threads like this one. Finally, someone speaks out about what's really wrong with the game! The official dev response is a perfect illustration of why I love BioWare *g*.

For comparison, mostly we get stuff like this - legitimate criticism mixed in with ridiculous complaints and lots of loud yelling. (Yes, that is me trolling in that thread. I think anyone complaining that there are 'no eleves' in a game deserves all the snarkiness I have available.)

My problem with the original NWN was that there is no way of saving Fenthick. None, what so ever. I have tried. Also I can't defeat the final level but that's more incompetence on my part.
