While true, it wasn't the gameplay that sunk the game. Or the visuals.

It was the tumblr blog level of writing.

I looked into it recently thinking about buying it (loved the first one) and some of the decisions were baffling. The whole no player blood magic reasoning is especially hilarious

They literally scrapped slavery in the teveninter imperium. You know, the place known for its horrible slavery.

I didn't believe you at first. Their response was that the gameplay is in the working class Dock Town where slaves don't exist. They only exist in the "elite" areas.

You can't make this shit up lmfao, they really thought the player base was that stupid.

Yeah because who'd ever employ slaves in an area known for intense physical labour? Obviously slaves would only live and work in the gilded halls of their masters and never toll in the fields. What an utterly idiotic idea Bioware had there, with all of it actually.
