Hepler's dwarf design in DAO was fairly good. It was just that DA2's writing was shit (party because they made really stupid decisions, partly because the entire game was a horrible rushjob), but a good part of that negative PR fiasco also came from Bioware's own policy of acting like Bioware can do no wrong and defending each other from criticism. They don't realize that an inability to take in feedback and admit when and where you dropped the ball can encourage negative feedback to explode because you look much more incompetent when you stand next to a burning building and are praising how you are proud of all the work you did and rejecting all criticism than if you were to honestly engage and discuss the subject of where you fucked up. If you look like you have that much difficulty getting a clue, it's only obvious that a lot more people will get annoyed at you and feel the need to hammer you with the message that you're a fuck-up.
A policy of mutually burying heads up asses is always a shit policy. Sure it feels good, but that "I'm fine just the way I am" attitude also causes you to breed in incompetence and can fuck up PR far more than you'd care to admit.
