I never played any DA games, but when I saw the DA 2 marketing I knew it was game over and bioware was dead.

What was DA2's marketing like? I was just done with DAO (2011 I think), and then *boom* DA2 hit. I didn't have time to prepare.
...Only to make that damned wizard appear again. I hate that fag Anders' bones.
I put DA:I and Andromeda on hold because I went back to the classics of "Heroes of Might and Magic 3" and "Deus Ex" to reignite my love for RPG's.
DA:I killed my interest in Bioware titles so I ended up grabbing Andromeda at the lowest possible sale, I think 12 USD... that was a mistake, I tried playing Andromeda with a Mouse & Keyboard and it was just bad... Bad controls, WTF is that shitty menu screen... Research? Crafting? with no tutorial on how to use them and it shows up on my menu screen at the beginning at the game... wtf is going on.
All the companions are Neutral in terms of alignment and doesn't vary, they also throw shitty jokes. Cora being the only human with an all Asari commando group and Liam being your typical token black character... at least make him interesting.
I know my grammar is all over the place but god damn... I may have to shelf this game for a long time
It was a poor attempt at a joke. And for owning DA:I and ME:A I was giving them a chance. I thought it was just typical hate until I played it, yeah people were right...I put DA:I and Andromeda on hold because I went back to the classics of "Heroes of Might and Magic 3" and "Deus Ex" to reignite my love for RPG's.

1. Deus Ex and HoMM3 are barely RPGs in the first place.
2. Why the fuck do you even own DA:I and MA:A in the first place?
All-in-all one of the funniest and most retarded posts of the week.

I was hoping for at least engaging companions. Animations are a joke, and remained a joke, menu system is a fucking mess. I was willing to do a playthrough if the characters were at least interesting, I didn't even finish it. Open world grinding was a mistake, anthem is headed to the same directionIt was a poor attempt at a joke. And for owning DA:I and ME:A I was giving them a chance.

Well, when someone admits to owning both DA:I & MA:A & they state that they are unironically trying to play them seriously then it's hard to imagine that someone as an intentionally comedic poster. What Bioware games had you played prior to those two games which stoked up your desire to "get something" out of those extremely predictably awful games? What were you even hoping for?
DA2 was a slog, I just figured it was Bioware's Team B at the time so I guess it was strike one for the company for me.So you think both DA2 and MA3 provided those things?

Only played through that one once and for ME3 I liked pretty much 1/3 of it. Didn't like Kai Leng and the Ghost kid stuff, I decided to ride it out because it was the last of Shepard's story. Thane's death was completely avoidable by Kai Leng, but I guess they had to asspull his ending also Ashley became more annoying than usual. Dunno why they had to make her more like a transexual, her ME1 appearance was fine. I'll give ME3 a pass since I liked shepard's companions alot, but yeah I know alot of people hated the game to the ninth degree for alot of reasons and I get it.
Ended up getting a PC and played Baldur's gate... uh lets just say the first half of that game was very dull
When did you give up on Bioware? Did you like any of their more recent games at least a bit?

Bioware games...
I enjoyed thoroughly from start to finish:
NWN: Hoards of the Underdark.
I enjoyed for most of the time:
Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn
NWN: Diamond modules.
Dragon Age: Origins: Awakenings.
I thought were ok, kinda the base level of interest required to finish the game:
Baldur's Gate 1 & it's expansion.
NWN: Shadows of the Undredtide (sp?).
Dragon Age: Origins.
& to an even lesser extent NWN 1
Everything else I've found to be turd level, assuming I even bothered trying it.
BG2 had the best spell combat of any RTWP game I have ever played. Nice rock, paper, scissors mechanics. Most just focus on DPS spells and buffs/debuffs.I definitely wanna rush through BG1 to get into BG2 because of the hype.
Also, only idiots prefer to play BG in the BG2 engine.
