10 Most Disappointing Video Game Sequels Of All Time

8. Dragon Age II

BioWare

The Dragon Age series represents BioWare at their best: A deep, involving set of RPGs, with choices, consequence and lots and lots of dialogue. If all these elements wrapped up in a fantastical setting appeals to you, you’re surely a fan already.

Dragon Age II, however, represents a turbulent time in the series. Hawke’s adventure is one that never quite seemed to know what it wanted to be.

It offered the player more freedom than before, in terms of the choices they made, but its questionable pacing meant that you were never quite sure how or when they would turn out to matter.

Most egregiously, perhaps, it struggled to carve out a world that was truly its own, with some very familiar-looking settings popping up throughout. The difficulty, perhaps, was that Dragon Age: Origins had set such a high bar.

There may never have been a sequel after Dragon Age II.
