Reading these notes on the Dragon Age game development and, wow, it is both staggering and completely clear how Dragon Age 2 turned out being the vastly superior game to Inquisition. https://felassan.tumblr.com/post/634890155573035008/dragon-age-development-insights-and-highlights
My overwhelming impression of Inquisition is an overly bloated game that got focus-grouped into oblivion.
Meanwhile, the DA2 writers had no corporate oversight and managed to produce one of the most experimental and moving triple-A games I have ever played.

This said: dear god, the crunch sounds horrific and I pity every employee who had to work through the holiday period on DA2.
If anything this reads as a massive indictment of mainline game development, tbh. That's not where the innovation is.
