That's way sooner than I expected. We've barely seen this game and it's already releasing in 2 months.

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.

Eh, there's plenty of time to do both and the games are absolutely worthy of a good thrashing.

I am annoyed at them because they show an utter disregard for the user's time and money. I wanted to like them, and I was exceedingly disappointed in the product.

especially considering how excited people are for the new game.

Are they? All I've seen is suspiciously defensive articles about BG3 comparisons not being fair (despite DA having the full might of EA and the >!soulless husk of the!< company that made BG1 and 2 at its helm) and shittons of astroturf and fluff pieces.

You are the first person who openly calls themselves a DA2 fan I run into in the wild.

I'm not sure why you feel the need to "debate" about whether someone enjoys a game you don't, but i am quite excited for Veilguard.

I hope you enjoy whatever you choose to play!

As I said, good for you. Play it, enjoy it.

Not once have I tried to persuade you otherwise, I just explained why I won't and don't.

I expressed my preference, same as you, except apparently my time could be better spent.

Make of that what you will.

No one is excited for the new DA.
