I agree. They played skyrim and then said they got some ideas on how to make dragon age 3 better. What? Don't do that. Play Balder gate and dragon age to know what's good. He'll, even dragons dogma could teach them things about good rpgs that they supposedly have forgot. Are they the best at pre scripted story ? Yes, and it's the saving grace of DA2 but they must remember that no matter how much choice u give, the best stories are made by the gamers themselves ie. DayZ and DD. Neither have great stories but the immersion works because of freedom. True rpgs will automatically give gamers slot of choice...just not pre scripted. We will make our own adventure. I played Me 1 and thought the future was bright. I figured they would combine conversation wheel with choice, great writing and deep RPG mechanics. I want to spend hours in my menu. But instead of making a better RPG for ME2, it was all gone. DA2 had a great story but it's as if I was just going through the motions. Now, DD, KoA, and a few great jrpgs prove that they are not dead but the juggernauts are all easy, beautiful action games. I appreciate skyrim but it's missing the core RPG elements that I love. And I know it's all done to make money but I think they are selling themselves short. I envisioned next Gen Rpgs as giving us more loot, more stats, more difficulty, more strategy, better menus to make spending hours in them easier. But, instead they just did away with all of it to make it easier.

I am beginning to wonder if either of you know what the term "shadow dropping" means.
