>>159149170It was EA guys, the fuckers with the shit version of midas touch.
They saw the game, decided to interrupt that shit, fire some of the old team/some of them left and brought in their shitty writers/new team.
EA then pushed the fuck out of them and gave them a stricted timeline and continually pushed the release date forward, and forcing them to hurry the fuck up. Corners had to be cut, and its what we were left with.
Same thing happened to ME2, though that was to a much lesser effect.
