Let's see.
First let's start for the begining to do all the things as intended.
All started in 2009 when Dragon Age: Origins, a new fanbase was born.
in 2011 came the jugdement day and all started to fall, Dragon Age 2 came out, and all was disaster, the fanbase was shattered and then fragmented.
some people started to leave, some people accepted it with resignation and moved on with their lives, some few liked the game, and the hardcore and demanding fans tried to summon demons with blood magic, but regardless nothing worked, the damage was done and storm at some point ended.
So far we have, what i like to call, the tiny very very small exiled DA2 fans, the vast majority DAO fans and the ones that just keep moving and didn't find refuge.
then 2014 came, and people claimed that jesus christ himself came with this and that Dragon Age Inquisition was the salvation. And yes, really at first seemed that all what happened in the past was about to be forgotten and repaired and all were reunited again, but nothing further from reality, when all the hype started to ran out, and things calmed down what we found is that the fanbase got even more fragmented than before, really perplexing, but nothing was going to be the same as it was before, the damage was too deep.
So... what happened? a vas horde of casual players came and played a Dragon Age for the first time, and seemed they liked it, so became new fans of the series, the poor exiled DA2 fans got even more exiled and more few because some left and converted to the new fans. The fans that didn't find shelter became just 3 or 4 and the rest seemed that converted to the new fans, but even with 3 or 4 we still have wanderer fans. The DAO fans got their hearts broken again, but some heretics defected to the new fans, though a very few, nothing critical and now the war of the thousand years has started in the fanbase, and day in day out, a lot of casualties have been recorded, we have a lot of open fronts.
Basically we have, the old guard, the exileds that no one listens to them, the new guard and the remnants that want to find their place, but can't, cause their hearts are divided or in the same remnants faction, the ones that try to be peacekeepers and reunite Thedas once again under the neutrality banner, but probably will die sooner or later.
Bye folks hope you liked it.

This is now divisive?

Wasn't too much of a fan of DA2 , especially after doing a speed run & seeing how little influence Hawke had on the world, even looking back now it is my least favourite, but I am starting to wondeer if that is because of its rushed development more than anything else, but other than that, yes, DA:O is my fave of the series, but DA:I is a good game.
So in short, all of the games in the series have their place, but if some people prefer one over another, that's their choice.
Just my opinion

I feel that angst-filled heartbreak in the OP, the edge, the unsung anger with the rest of the unfeeling world, but I just can't spot it over which specific game the guy/gal has his/her moment. Next time s/he needs to spell out which specific game was the death knell of the world and BioWARE, so I can make some "there, there..." noises.
Blaming casuals for the Armageddon was a nice touch, though, very traditional.
But, tbh, OP, on this forum, it is so far okay to love any of the Dragon Age games (thankfully) & you will always find a bunch of those who do too if solidarity is what you seek in you... erm... distress.

I adore every Dragon Age game,but Origins will always be my first and everlasting love Promoting an elitistic spirit just because we were playing DA before Inquisition(i'd say before it was cool,but it always was so ),or hating on the DA2 hardcore fans just because they prefer the second game is certainly not nice at all.At least that is the vibe i am getting from Op. Shouldn't we all be happy that our favourite game is gaining new fans and popularity? Once DA4 comes out those will be considered old ones ,compared to the newcomers(who may or may not be casual players) either way and we can all enjoy another Dragon Age together. I love that i can share my love for this wonderful series in this forum ,even though i'm still a new arrival here,while also seeing other players' point of view on the games and the fond experiences they have.It doesn't matter if they think it's just an ok series(it kind pains me though ) , or if the prefer DA2 or Inquisition,or even if they don't care about the lore and just enjoy the gameplay. We're all fellow fans and there shouldn't be any fragmentations among us!

jesus christ himself came I don't think this forum is an appropriate place for Christian erotica. Oh, and BTW, your history is woefully incomplete and revisionist. You forgot the Old Ones (NVN fans) and the Ancient Ones (BG fans). As far as the Ancient Ones are concerned, the DAO fans are the johnny-come-lately casuls.

The fact were not a hive-mind makes us fragmented. We're humans. We disagree on things. That doesn't have to be a bad thing, especially when it's only about a video game series.

So, you guys think it is an anti-DA2 statement? I am trying to read the OP, and I am still not getting what the heck s/he is crying over, save for casuals (?)
This, to me, indicates OP liked DA:O and it is Okay to love DA:O
Well, this passage could have been written by either someone who liked DA2 or someone who hated it. All it acknowledges, is the mixed reviews.
The emotional bend of this passage, particularly the demons, and the tell-take “nothing worked” might be indicative of the OP not liking DA2, because maybe the OP regrets it was not refurbished??? Yes, no? What do you think?
I am at a loss as to what is going on here, and whom the OP associate with. The DAO Majority who (I assume) held the BSN forums; the persecuted DA2 crowd or those who just treated it as any other game.
Your guess is as good as mine as to what the heck OP is carrying forth about.
Please, do tell me! I want to know!
And that’s where I cannot penetrate the writing, no matter how attentively I analyze every word in my search for truth.
First of all, the OP identified the three factions already. DAO old fans; the splinter DA2-only fans and the Others. DA2 fans share diminished, the OP claims. Because, ostensibly (not factually though) the new fans only played DA3.
Well, those new fans that only played DA3 (derogatively defined as casuals) are Faction 4. He claims that some DA2 fans left the DA2, and now worshiped at the DA3 altar. That’s Faction 5. What was with the fans that did not find shelter? What’s with the mysterious numbers 3 or 4? The old DAO fans, the OP seem to claim did not like DA3, while some of them did – Faction 6!
The war? Which war? Has the OP been to the ME suforum? That’s the closest this forum has to the Flame War at all, and that's as mild as lambswool.
Overall, maybe, there is a hint, if a very slight one, that the OP might believe that the DA:O fans should not have dared to like DA3? Is that then an anti-DA3 piece of propaganda art? It's hard to pin-point it though. There is some reproach, but it could be just the reflection of the emotional dislike of the "casuals".
Okay, I don’t trust anyone who only post one post ending with “LEAVE FOREVAR!”
Everything else described is a natural occurrence when anything exists in multiple parts. It still does not answer my question as to what games out of three the OP liked, and which ones s/he did not like.
Well, I’ve tried.

But what if you're a fan of all three Dragon Age games? Impossible! You must tell people how horrible at least 1 of the games is on a daily basis.

I read the post, and it seemed to me that the OP created an account, dropped in to say everything sucked and no one agrees on anything, and then said 'Kthnx bai hav fun' and hasn't said anything since on any other board. Kind of the definition of trolling.

If I were to summarize the fragmented post that starts this thread, it would boil down to: "You on this forum rip each-others' throats out. Bye!" It's certainly not a: "Hey! I am new here, and I love DA series! I wish the fans did not argue so much about which game is better. More group hugs, pls!"

Perhaps you should look more to yourself when it comes to assumptions, yes?
