tag yourself, I'm the anonymous Dragon Age II defender (I haven't played that game in like 10 years chomsky-yes-honey but I honestly remember having an alright time with it, then again I haven't played through Origins so I don't have that to compare it against)

I was so salty about DA2 when it came out as someone who loved Origins. I hated the forced protagonist and I hated that it wasn't turn based. The game itself was so drastically different from Origins that I wish they had just released it as a spinoff set in the same world rather than as a direct sequel to Origins.

I don't give a shit now, but I've still never played DA2 outside of that demo they released before it came out.

BG3 was the dragon age origins sequel I wanted. I didn't know it at the time, but I just really like CRPGs with solid story telling that let's me make decisions that at least feel like I'm directly effecting the plot.
