Failure is Good

I just hope they fix the issues from DA2 for DA3. If it doesn't look good then I'll probably skip it...

A lot of DA2s failure was just laziness and it was far to prevalent to ignore. You can learn a lot of things from failing sure, but you have to be committed to put in the effort to make a good game in the first place. Taking a good rpg then striping it of gear options, party customization, and reusing dungeons over and over is just the blatant manifestation of laziness. I'm not about to pay full price for something like that and it pisses me off even more when they decide to cut out bits of the story and sell them as dlc when I didn't think the story was worth 60$ to begin with.

Here's the thing, lets presume I am somewhat interested in the game and think it's worth 30$. If the game starts out at 60$ and I wait a year to buy it at 30$ I don't want to have to buy all the dlc they had at launch, that was part of the game, for 30$. I'm a patient person and more than willing to purchase games but some of these companies have me buying games used just so a 3rd party can make more money than the developer.
