The gaming world needs major stories from time to time with the heirs of formulas of the past that players revere as perfect and ideal for certain genres. It is difficult to see how a series is held at the crest of the wave, pleasing to all and sundry with their networks and technical charms. When it was released Baldur's Gate, many shouted from the rooftops the arrival of Western role-playing game perfect. A sweet combination of fast action and gameplay complexity which dazzled millions of players around the globe, and exalted the name of the franchise fees unimaginable back then. Baldur's Gate was an almost perfect game, full of detail and care by all and each of its pixels.
Bioware is a company who gets involved in this adventure at that time when they are new and very small for gaming and now they become what you can see now with their perseverance and work around major titles and better ideas. They are always been known for being able to read a study market interests and their public. Successfully interpreted the timid (or obvious, depending on cases) signs of the industry to be able to direct their games and franchises as they want.
Dragon Age came at a time where gender roles seemed stalled. Japanese studies have been accommodated in the current generation of consoles, and the rate of release of RPGs has decreased significantly. Its franchise suffocate in clichés of the past, although in future work, now seem sad old mechanisms and out of time, fail to dazzle all potential players, and which hinder greatly the image of their companies. Bioware once again able to interpret what the average player called and updated with all the law and formula that was worked for ten year for the core gameplay of Baldur's Gate. Dragon Age inherited much of the system and the leitmotif that playable title and porterage at the pleasures and benefits of the new generation. Everyone was absolutely delighted with the results of a full RPG, full of good ideas and great ambition.
The second part with similar results was almost inevitable. It was pressure from major publishers and distributors or the same desire for perfection and refinement of Bioware, after the deluge of downloadable content from the first game that to make something advance. And here we have it. The results are the same or better than those seen in the first game, but to be honest and direct: Dragon Age II is a game that will not leave anyone indifferent. The controversy is served.
