It was the fact that it was only about one character and their story and the reused environments. Those were pretty much the problems.

I completed it, and have to say that I strongly disliked the writing style. Conversation was boring and stilted; very little characterization developed through dialogue; unlike DA: Origins, the characters were emotionally dead; the development of the plot through text was dull and did very little to create a sense of tension and conflict; etc.

I agree that the most noticeable flaw in the game was gameplay and the world, but I can't even credit the company for coming through in the writing. About the only thing that went right for that game was the concept art. Maybe the coding, but I don't know anything about that. From what's I've seen of DA III, I won't be getting it. Disappointing - DA: Origins was one of my favorite last-gen games.

The writing was solid and the character development was good, everything else just was clearly lacking because the game was rushed.

Damage control.

It's an RPG, that's one of those genre's where graphics are fun, but not essential. Most party based rpg's still don't match up to BG2 and I'm pretty sure the hardware in previous gen would be able to run it.

If the combat is tactical, the writing personal and the choices meaningful, it could be in 2d for all I care.

Still technically paying for it, even if it wasn't your intent. They've been giving out games with Twitch prime, they just changed the name. It's the same sub as that was. If you weren't aware, great. But you're paying for it.

That being said, I don't personally care. For me as long as you're willing to pay that for 1 service and get more. I personally take it as free. Like prime video, music though the prime version is trash, and all the Twitch benefits are all free to me because I didn't care about those when I got it. Just comes with it.

Only noted because that's technically wrong as a defense to that argument, whether I'm on yourside with the initial statement lol
