Bogart posted:I wish DA2 got more dev time. There was something great in there. As it was, though, the incessant bits of Going Back To This One loving Cave Over 10 Years In Kirkwall and the endgame being clearly written by the same people who wrote the end to ME3 for how fart-huffing it was dragged it down from Truly Great to Middling. A small story, and characters developing over a long period of time and doing things that matter to them, not things that change the world, were such a great change of pace that I even kind of liked Anders by the end. You could tell he wasn't just MAGE JUSTICE!!!!!!!!! always, since he'd gently caress around and play cards and joke around, it's just his dumb 'Let's Become Abominable!' idea that screwed him up. Still, first DA I played, and all of Inquisition I was just thinking about how much I'd rather have Varric talking with people he liked rather than feeling obligated to save the world with a bunch of fuckheads. I think Varric likes most of the crew from inquisition too.

Given that ME3's multiplayer was and is pretty great...and then they hosed it pretty quick by DAI's combat being no good at all.

The story of ME2 is good because it's entirely focused on developing your party, and the characters are the best part of Bioware games. The collector plot is shallow and boring but it's just there to facilitate the Suicide Mission and create a reason for you to form your team of specialists and get to know them. With character recruitment and loyalty missions being the vast majority of the game. In creating this really character focused story though they ignored the best part of ME1, namely how ME1 would use every opportunity to develop more about the setting. It not only did a great job of this but it's something you'd really want from a sci-fi story. But hey now you've got more than 1 interesting party member.

I think all 3 games are pretty black and white about whether the Genophage is evil or not tbh.

It's a literal weapon of genocide my guy. It's the slow eventual unstoppable death of a culture and people and even the architect of it, our good buddy Mordin is super messed up by it. Yeah it makes sense why the Genophage was made and why Mordin would go about using it, but I think that's a very different thing from it being portrayed as good or positive. No matter how much Mordin tries to convince himself.
