my opinion

 Well here it goes. i'll start off by saying DA:O was one of my favorite games, I still play it. DA2 just sucked, it was a step backwards(or more of a leap) compared to DA:O. I was hoping the third installment(considering the epic fail of the second) would go back to being more like the original. I was wrong, you seem to not have learned from your mistake. For an RPG its real lame to say my warrior has to carry only a sword and shield or a 2 handed weapon, why can't i dual wield or use a bow? What if my mage wants to carry a dagger and stick some people? Why would you limit this ability? Thats where DA:O has this game stomped along with a lot of other features left out to try and simplify it for the new audiance your trying to attract. Didnt you learn your lesson when DA2 didnt sell half as many copies as Origins? You probably made more in selling DLC on the first installment then you did with everything on DA2! Where is the ability to costumize my character? what if i want a bad **bleep** DEX warrior! Or how about the incredable hulk of a mage! Or any of my choosing? Did you figure it was to complicated for us to figure out how we wanted to build our characters. That was the fun of the game, the reason to play through multiple times, trying different builds, beating it on nightmare solo. Now Im stuck with how you think my character should be. You've turned what I thought was the potential for a great series into another epic fail. Well you lost another returning player, that won't be buying your DLC on a **bleep** game. And by the way can i get my money back, that you ripped me off on?

  •    Firstly, "BioWare" isn't here. You see the "EA Answer HQ" there? EA means "not the ones who decided how the gameplay would be", Answer means you kind of need to have a question. If you're looking to make a point about your insatisfaction as a customer/player/etc, the place you're looking for is the BioWare feedback boards, where you'll be able to echo the complaints of a bunch of people.

     Second, as unimaginable as it might be to you, DA2 is beloved by many. I for one don't see what makes it an "epic fail". If you were looking for a game where you could COMPLETELY customize how your character will fight, I think you were looking for TES. Being a difficult and strategy-heavy game was never Dragon Age's focus: it is and has always been the story and character interaction and for those things they'll make the game as acessible as possible. I'm not criticizing you for having your opinion, just suggesting that no, you can't get everything that is ideal to you in one game (since people have different preferences). I don't really know why they limit the equipment for classes, but honestly, it never worked in DAO. If your mage wants to carry a dagger and stab some people he's gonna die in the first tough battle you get. You give a warrior a bow and they're gonna suck, give rogues a sword and they're gonna suck. The battle system is not refined enough for that. You're talking about a potential that was never present in the series. The game still has high replay value simply because it has many variables through it's plot, from character creation to the endings. 

     And finally, you can ask for a refund in 24h if you bought from Origin as far as I know.

     First of all your right I wasn't asking a question, I was stating my opinion. I posted here because when I searched on how to leave feed back this is where it sent me. I was on the DA Inquisition home page.

     Now if you want to chime in on how wrong I am maybe you should get you facts straight. You sound as if you've never played DAO. A warrior with a bow was deadly and fun to play with. Heck a warrior with daggers also kicked **bleep**. Also you could make a mage that would cast spells and carry a sword and shield or dual wield. That was one of the ways to solo the game. To say DA2 is beloved by many is kind of stretching it a little, maybe a few. I've been to the DA forums and its been hated on since its release. With the success of the first they could have continued on that path and made a blockbuster, instead they tried something else. It was a huge failure, so much so that they quit making DLC early due to lack of interest. Did they learn from this? No and thats apperent in the third installment that i predict is going to flop like DA2.
