I would argue the worse news is the loss of incredible Bioware talent. Many of the people they fired were senior Bioware creatives (because they had higher salaries). Loads of longterm Bioware staff were let go, including Mary Kirby (Creator of Varrick, who worked on every single DA game) and Luke Kristjanson was was there since Baldurs Gate 1. Such a bloody waste, and once experience is lost its very hard to get back. Demoralising for the other staff too. I'd rather a year delay to both games over a loss of talent like that.
