Why are so many people ripping on Dragon Age? ;-; It's a lovely series, the setting is interesting and the characters are, for the most part, very fun to interact with. I get that the combat isn't like anything else popular on the console market right now, but I always felt like it's sort of a nice break from the norm with its attempts at promoting tactical game play over straight out hack and slash. In fact, I actually preferred the slower and less flashy combat of Origins.
