"Don't look so smug! I know what you're thinking, but Frostback Mountan was merely a set back. Did you honestly believe I would trust the future to some blind, Gray warden mongrel? Hahahaha... Oh no, no, no, he was merely an instrument, a stepping stone to a much larger plan! It has all led to this...and this time, you will not interfere! "

Nope. Third. First was about DA2's PR shenanigans, that also included things like DRM problems and blocking one member out by accident (or not), second is the burn on same area maps being overused, this is the third.fanklok said:
Plus...for the love of god...it does NOT ignore EVERYTHING. But fine...nitpick and expand to generalization all you like. I admit, this'd suck pretty badly if it happened to me. But to say that they ignored all the stuff from DA:O is certainly wrong as I noticed a ton of stuff from it being included in DA2. And I'm not just talking recieving letters by mail about it either - more like running into guys I saved during DA:O and such.
Still, it wasn't done perfect, no doubt there. As much as I love the game, it's pretty obvious that for once Bioware did NOT take care to polish the game - and it shows big time. Hilariously enough someone like Bethesda is allowed to get away with this every single time while their upcoming sequels are praised unendingly. Whereas when Bioware tries to pull this just once and suddenly you have everyone jumping on the hate train heh...not to say it isn't deserved - it is, they ultimately lowered their standards with this one. But double standards for the win every time I guess.
I played the game the "good way", so whilst I disagree with retconning, I should experience very little.
Speaking from experience, you'll actually see none at all - as someone else who played Origins (and the Awakening expansion) "the good way", I can attest that none of my decisions were ever contradicted by events in the sequel.Booze Zombie said:
You can't call it retcon if there were multiple paths to take. I played through the game and didn't kill Leliana at the ashes part, if you chose to, well that was your choice. I don't see why people are up in arms over it, just frigging deal with it. Just cause you chose to kill her doesn't mean other people chose to as well.
I suppose the flip side to this is they could have just chosen not to include her at all and everyone would have been happy. Of course they could have also chosen to not include Zevran (the elf rogue dude I don't remember his name) which if you remember you had an option to kill him as well.
TL;DR: Tough titty, deal with it. It's not retcon.

But regular old magic is just fine? And dragons?Sucal said:

This is a bit worse to me. There will always be "shippers" who think their choice of pairing is the right one against the actual narrative and stuff, and always be people who think they know better than the author. But when given an interactive plot point, it actually is left to the end user to decide what happens.The_root_of_all_evil said:
...As the comic points out, until they decide to change it on you. It's put in your hands, and taken out again. That's just a bad way to run a railroad.
