Dragon Age: Don't Bother II

OK, here's hoping I take the hit so you don't have to. I've put nearly
40 hours into the game now with two characters and I stand by my
original statement. The game is a poorly done wreck.

How do I justify this? Well, let's see... I get to one of the
climactic battles at the end of the game and my party falls through
the ground and out of the world. I can't see anything that I'm
attacking because I'm either 40 feet below the surface of the earth or
200 feet above it. It flips back and forth.

So I reload from a save point... traveling back to the battle scene
the game hangs... twice. I've noticed graphical and audio glitches all
along, but game breaking bugs like this are really unforgivable.

On the Bioware forums other folks are reporting:

Another game breaker during the battle where I fell through the world:

Lots of folks reporting corrupted and unusable game saves:

Seriously, don't waste any more time on this game than I have already.
Bad graphics, boring story, uninspired combat and now game breaking
bugs. It's simply not worth it.
