PC Gamer said this was the best RPG of the decade! LOL!

It's been my hunch that many big name review sites are somehow strong armed into giving positive reviews. If you want a good review on a big ticket game, you don't go to sites like PC gamer or Gamespot. Maybe back in the day, but in modern times, perhaps not so much.

RPG's are based around choice - you choose the storyline. You choose what happens to your character. You choose what happens to the world around you.
Let's compare Bioware RPG's - Mass Effect vs DA2 - (spoiler alert) Mass Effect - you can kill Wrex. You can kill the Council. Both of these actions have a pretty good effect on the story's outcome. Not the overall direction, but enough to make you feel like you took a divergent path. In DA2, the only influence you have is the dialogue someone reacts to you with. You still get the same quests, the same storyline, regardless of your choices. That's the illusion of choice. It stinks.

That is so rotten, as to be unbelievable. If Bioware decided to go the Mass effect route, i would at least expect to see mass effect styled alternate outcomes based on your decisions in key areas of the game. Alternate text doesn't cut. This bit makes that 60 dollar ticket price for this interactive movie, an object of glaring contempt.
