Bioware is merely a puppet controlled by its master(EA) i would not expect any more clean PC exclusive games from bioware.
Rocks back and forth more. NO EA DONT TOUCH ME!!!

A Halo was on the PC after it was released on console, due to the poor sales of Halo on the PC they kept it console exclusive.
Yes like I have said before there has been an increase in sales, but even 20% for a low number of income is not that great. And its due to the fact that most of the sales for the PC last year came from Digital distribution and where the games were on sale, like Steam's big christmas sale they had when titles were going for $5 etc.
Now even though digital distribution may be the choice today, if the people behind Steam found it necessary to sell games cheaply to make a quick buck that shows its not that great
What you are saying is not true. Halo sold two releases on PC. That's a fact, and they sold well. The ports were not good though as they were designed for console. But, those are shooters ans shooters have been primarily designed for consoles the past ten or so years. Goldeneye set the standard, though we had Doom and Quake still on PC.
Consoles sales on average are down from even 5 years ago. If you take the combined sales on the previous gen to this gen, that is very telling. Most games are played on PC, that's a fact. What I get from you is an inherent bias to favor consoles while trying to diminish that PC sales and especially games are back on the rise and hugely so. Your mere mention of Steam game selling cheap is pretty funny considering they, as well as D2D, sell games as new releases in the millions. Yes, you get them on the cheap when the time happens a while after the initial release, but that isn't exclusive to PC games as being "on the cheap". Consider that many console releases, especailly those that don't sell well, are on the cheap just a few weeks after release in some cases. So, what's the difference there? You can get ME2 for consoles for $20 right now as an example.
The games I mainly speak of don't sell as well as consoles, and they are action/shooter/racing games, but PC gaming way out-does console gaming by far and large as a whole. I prefer console gaming, it easier and comfortable, but console gaming has become totally lacking and cannot offer the depth. But, I go either way. I was all PC until the Xbox came around in late 2001 and my PC gaming diminished, then PC gaming nearly went away with the arrival of the 360. But after two years, it wore off as there was nothing innovative and eye catching anymore, and I got back to PC gaming without looking back at this time well over a year ago. My example of changing back seems to reflect the current trend as well. In fact, over the past year or so, I have bought only two console games, Bayonetta, which was awesome and Halo: Reach, which was a total waste of money.
Everything on console now has to be total action (which has been for years) and now everything wants to be Modern Warfare. Look at where Battlefield Bad Company went from what it was to BBC2, it was sad. That is just one of many examples. Until console gaming gets refreshed and more innovative, I am done with it. I am primarily an RPG gamer, and they don't work well with consoles. It's sad that DA2 was made for console to appeal to the gamer who cannot be bothered with a deep story and character building/interaction.

So,just wondering your thoughts on this game so far...
Waiting to get mine when iam paid.Tomorrow or friday.
Shorter than DA1 I think, or perhaps its just overly streamlined into linear story.
