its kind of sad that something that existed in 1998 cant be done in 2015....and all for the sake of class balance, tell me how the hell does dragging around a rogue (who got hilariously nerfed in DAI) just to open that one locked door improve my role playing experience?

It is what happens when non-gamers create rpgs. It is all about the role the character has in a combat situation. Nothing more. Hence why the rogues got turned into ninjas in DA. And why non-combat skills got removed.

DA:O did it right, really. You could use the stats to make your character more unique. If you wanted Morrigan to be able to use a plate armour, you could. I am fully aware that DA:O was in no way a perfect game. But it was the foundation of a franchise. When you have a foundation, you build on it. bEAware did the opposite. they removed more and more option and dumbed things down. When they should have just added more classes, weapons, races, and backgrounds for each game. It is usually how rpg series work. Used to, anyway.

Not sure how to put this....You know when you play some games, you just feel like the game has a lot of heart and soul? This happens when you play a game that is made to really entertain the players. It is all about the player's enjoyment etc. You get what you expect to get, when you buy it.

EA doesn't do that. They never have. They make products that will make them a huge chunk of money, and they design it in a way that will make sure players will have to pay more for the rest of the products. DLCs and the like. It is not about the player's at all. It is about their wallet. It is also why they dumb down the games. To gain access to more wallets. They don't understand that rpg fans will make an effort, by default, to learn how to play the game anyway. Its in the rpg fan's DNA.

That, I think, is the major difference between older rgs and newer "rpgs".

So Qunari can jump 50 feet straight down and make a "meteor crater" in the ground.

It looks like a suicide bomb to me.

i think ill still get it, i mean as much as the mechanics annoy me i still love the world

I did, but the machine-guns broke it for me. The last straw.

Next one will be an MMO. In case there are any doubt. DA:I was a prototype for an MMO.
