This series went to hell with the release of the second game. Hell, you could even argue it went to hell after the first game was released. DAO was good, but the signs of decay were definitely there with most of the DLCs and the expansion, particularly since they were out and out advertised in the game. Even its director, Brent Knowles, saw change was in the wind at Bioware, and not the good kind, and left the company once DAO was complete.
Anyway, this is an incredibly pointless video with just a bunch of fluff, saying that they're now tackling "new" things. Like being someone with no power, or how those who do have power don't actually do anything. You already did that in Origins! Two out of the six origin stories were about being on the bottom rung of society, and much of the game's story happens because those at the top are so laser-focused on their own personal agendas that they are completely blind to the greater threat of the Darkspawn encroaching upon them. Or because they honestly just didn't give a fuck about the lower classes.

So much so it felt like being ejected mid victory lap.
DAO was a lot of fun.
DAA was... boring.
