Well, dang near anything the creaters make is done for a purpose, typically attractive enough to make you not vomit when you see them every time you load the game.
I hate to admit it, but DA1 and DA2 just were just okay to me. I liked the style and the map features of the 2nd, and the semi open world of the first, but I've played other games far more and with far more fervor. To me--and this is why you also shouldn't feel bad about it Yui--they were meh, okay. Something to play, but the want lacked.
