Eh, it's not "outdated" it's just a true WRPG. DA2 tried to mainstream it but failed miserably. Btw, I'm talking about the PC version of Origins which was the best one by far in both graphics and gameplay.
When a game with an infinite inventory system is asking me to pick up an item in a chest, it's outdated. DA2 didn't fail miserably. It updated a lot of mechanics. Could it have been better? Of course. But I can say that about most games.
