That’s way sooner than I expected. We’ve barely seen this game and it’s already releasing in 2 months.
Unironically, good for you.
Enjoy it while your taste is still where it’s at, it probably won’t stay there but more power to you in the meantime.
oh no I love all the games. i know there’s a lot of “Origins purists” that love to trash talk any game in the franchise that isn’t origins, but most of us love all the games. for different reasons.
i sincerely hope you have branched out to other games that were more like Origins in the years since it’s been out. and I hope you’ve found ones you like.
I came into origins because it was in a branch I liked, so yeah, I have eaten well in the past and there’s more than enough for me to keep eating well for a good long time.
To me it’s mostly the obvious lack of care of DA2 towards the lore and even the internal consistency of the world and characters in that same game that made me acutely aware of the downfall of BioWare.
I’ve since moved on to other things. Mostly indie stuff, and stuff like BG3 which is much more in my general direction.
I’ll miss OG BioWare (Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 BioWare, to clarify) but I’ll live.
I love BG3 as well. They’re all great games. and Dragon Age 2 has a special place in my heart. I love how the combat and focus changed to one specific city. It made me appreciate the day/night design and the stories (for good or bad) that took place there.
I just have noticed a trend of Origins people that come into any dragon age thread just to talk smack, and I think it’d probably be better to just play a game you like instead of focusing on how much you hate ones you don’t. ya know? especially considering how excited people are for the new game.
There’s always more games of a genre to play. And Origins is fantastic. I always recommend new Dragon Age players start at Origins and play all the way through Inquisition for the full experience.
