Why aren't people talking about this game: Dragon Age II

So apparently EA is quashing any type of criticism of the game on their forums. What's worse is that they're banning users for making critical posts, and this has the effect of locking them out of a game they've paid for. That post is here: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/to...index/6459941/

That has got to be illegal somehow.

Fixed that for you.

But yeah, it's rather outrageous that a forum ban results in locking you out of a game.

Aparently EA said a while ago that forum and game accounts would be separate. Guess that has changed.

Follow-up to that:

“Unfortunately, there was an error in the system that accidentally suspended your entire EA account. Immediately upon learning of the glitch, we have restored the entire account and apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused while accessing other areas of the EA service.”

Hmm, after much deliberation i'm giving this game a go.

Also, if anyone is interested, i'm linking to a GFF 4.0 editor and a simple DA:O savegame editor, along with the source code. Requires no additional files. It's similar to a toolset editor, to manipulate .gff files.
You can tinker with a lot of things here, incl. savegame files.
