Saving Dragon Age III

VGChartz’s gamrFeed blog editorializes on Mike Laidlaw’s recent forum post about Dragon Age II, and has a simple solution to fix the problems for the third title:

It’s something that I’m glad to hear, but truth be told I wonder if it’s Laidlaw and his team that really needed to learn a lesson. The fact that they made some mistakes is undeniable, but when your company is owned by someone else you only have so much creative control. If you have someone ordering you to wrap it up so they can cash in more quickly, there’s not much you can do.

So EA: if this was your fault as I and many others suspect, please listen. The fans of games like Dragon Age aren’t interested in annual releases and forty dollar DLC that you pass off as entirely new games. They will wait for the game to be done and done right. All you succeed in doing when you push is to run the franchise into the ground. Don’t do that. Think in the long term.
