I think a 5+ year Break for MEA2 is a good thing

If you start only now to hate them then you are a part of the problem, sorry to pinpoint that.

DA2 did help the haters rise in number and have growing sub communities. But the ME3 case is a total absurdity, that is players reactions was just hysteria. A hero of a RPG series dying was the real problem for most of those that contributed to destroy ME3. But hero death was a great design choice, adult and anti Hollywood crap. For the sophisticated arguing about this end it's just blah blah, colors problem is fake problem it's words that matter, players surprise is a fake problem since very first step of ME3 the ending is started to be build, that an AI is cause of all makes sense, and so on. I agree some details that mostly no players quoted was a problem but not such a big deal to destroy a game. The worst is the free extended end DLC fix almost all complains, and most players continue argue without consider it.

Then came DAi, perhaps I got a wrong view of the game but I get discouraged and waited about 2 years before to play it. And ok first hours with the game was burdened by many aspects. But when I found how organize myself the gameplay flow so it is fun for me, then I realized how I have been manipulated by haters.

My current believing is Bioware is soon dead and I don't have the will to struggle explain why for different tastes no way The Witcher 3 or Skyrim can compete with ME3, DAI and even MEA. That Bioware could be uneven in writing quality but only one AAA RPG dev really does better, CDP, and certainly not Obsidian nor Inxile and even less Larian. That companions could be sometime questonable, but still 20 to 30 of the best companions ever done are all made by Bioware. Perhaps some design shift could have disturb some players, still full ME series, MEA, DAO, DA2, BG2, all have ridiculously better combats than any Bethesda RPG, than any Obsidian RPG. Even a game as Divine Divinity acclaimed for the combats design is in fact a half failure because 50% of combats have a weak light design and the combat system can't fix that, and in last areas it's becoming worse and worse to the point that most Bioware RPG have better combats on a full play.

But nope it didn't count and Bioware is going silently to a tomb, and crap stupid haters believing they know the blueprint that must be done to make a good RPG, stupid, they don't even realize that total evidence, that a huge number of RPG classic don't match their rigid blueprint.

EDiT: But ok that management fall on head a few time, didn't help, I won't deny that.
