One of my meaningless posts just before I go to sleep
But I do prefer Dragon Age Origins. Not just because it is more modern, but because it is really better with novel cooldown mechanics. So you don't have this sleep mechanics that bothers me inside dungeons as a flow of powergaming. I mean what is this sleep every 100 yards, it sucks I don't like that. You have cooldown mechanics now in DAO and you don't sleep or prepare blindly. You have your skills at disposal anytime without stupid sleep, of course with levels, but you have them right there to have full blast and fun of your hard earned levels. And it is fantastic rpg idea. No more oh damn I didn't memorize this spell because I had no idea what is coming. No, in DAO you have all you have every moment and I really like that. I just like DAO so much. I decided to try the old school BG but really DAO is just so much better mechanically. And I know you can disagree but this is how I see it.

As if when Morrigan prepared her lightning spell in the movie, when she says - "let's end this" and then zaps the dragon. I mean why would she say that ?
And then we saw DA2 what a disaster it was. Like Morrigan knew it ends. (around 3:00 of the movie)
Dragon Age Origins can not be compared though; it seems to focus more on the visual parts only, which sadly most games do these days. It's all about graphics ...
Would be cool to see whether modern game engines could make BG2EE and the other variants look visually better. And perhaps AI to autogenerate (hopefully with high quality ...) quests, improve on existing ones and so forth. So the point where developers just write a story, and the computer automatically renders graphics + conditions for unfolding that story.
