suggests they've forgotten how crafting started fairly complex in NWN2 and was rapidly simplified in the expansions (presumably in response to feedback). I'm guessing that Inquisition will be principally a match-the-ingredients crafting puzzle game (with lots of special ingredients only available as extra paid content/DLC) with a bland, uninspiring 3D adventure tacked on.

Of course Obsidian didn't just make KOTOR2 but also NWN2, so yeah... it doesn't apply to BioWare.

Personally, I can't care less for DA:I. It's dead to me... I'll see what happens, but I seriously don't pay attention to it. Release date? I don't know.
So many good RPG series are going to waste.
The Witcher was good. Twitcher was starting to get somewhat dubious... and now they want to make it open-world too? TW3 is now dead to me as well.
So little remains, just the Kickstarter games. And I have little faith in InXile so that scraps Wasteland 2 and Torment (till they prove they can actually make them proper).

True, I didn't have faith in D:OS either (turnbased? Co-op gameplay?) but of course it blew me out of the water, so we'll just see if any of those other games also surprise me by actually being really good despite my fears.
The only one I really look forward to is Pillars of Eternity... and sadly it seems Obsidian got into rough times as it's working on 2 MMO's (the horror, the horror) aside smirk.
Dark times for RPG lovers, but hopefully soon there will be plenty of light to brighten it up...
