I think DA2 was a good game, as a RPG. In my mind a RPG is relative to the story, writing, character development NOT combat and in this DA2 did its job. What killed it was how rushed it is and how recycled all 3 pieces of artwork was. Though I find it pretty funny EA is going to abandon DA 2 like DA 1 as they are full into working on DA 3 now.
Also the next Bioware game is ME 3, so yes, that is going to sell, everyone and their mother loves Mass Effect, well except old school types.
I wonder if you old school types like being the old guy sitting on the porch with the +5 shotgun whining about those 'damned kids and their dumbed down games" but really not every RPG has to be a masochistic geek fest, those do have a place but its not the future.
