  "In development for the past two years" scares me, because that could mean that parts of this game could be locked into that Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3 mentality of BioWare, before 2012 came along, and most of BioWare's fans increasingly were pressuring BioWare to take a long hard look at themselves, and identify where they went off the rails in terms of DA2, ME3, and SW:TOR.
  
  I'm an outsider looking in on this situation, as someone who hasn't bought BioWare games but has read the reviews and controversy from their past 3 games. It makes me wonder, "Have they learned almost nothing? Are they merely committing to it because DA3 has been in the pipeline, and SW:TOR is hemmorhaging subscribers, and Mass Effect is sunsetting in terms of ongoing content?"
