To further compare, they said that Dragon Age had "9 novels of text"; they're estimating that The Old Republic will have over 40 novels worth.

Those are interesting numbers. It's shocking how few ME and ME2 have compared to DAO. More lines should have definitely been devoted to your team mates. Then maybe we'd actually feel attached to them :S

Like I said - Dragon Age had 7 years, but it was actually supposed to be released before Mass Effect 1 (October 2007).

So it might be better to compare the entire Mass Effect trilogy to Dragon Age.

:o

Nah. Dragpn age was the length of one game, and it felt as such. I didn't feel like it was really two games, and the dialogue was still lacking a bit in the realm of inter-character relations.

I think at some point they decided to make Dragon Age completely standalone - that is, none of it will be importable into Dragon Age 2. All the consequences of the Warden's actions are seen mainly at the end in what armies you have, but that's pretty much it.

Thus, the game had to be larger than a regular BioWare game for that reason.

I support any additional squadmate banter. I loved the amount in DA:O, I hope ME3 has at least as much squadmate banter as DA:O.

If they somehow managed that, I'd be ridiculously amazed. And impressed.

Don't get people's hopes up though.

The only way we're getting that kind of dialogue is if ME3 is on 3 disks.

Which I'm hoping for, actually.

Make it like DAO, it's amazing how much better all squad interaction was handled in DAO.

I like it. ME2, as much as I liked it, really could have used more little touches like this.

Three discs would be ****ing awesome. Then you know the game will be amazing. But then again, three discs would mean you would have to do more things in a specific order. The reason all recruitment missions aren't available in the beginning is because the game is seperated into two discs. If ME2 were on one disc you could recruit squadmates like Samara and Thane at the very beginning.

But I'm willing to sacrifice mission selection freedom for shear awesomeness :lol:.

I don't think that's true. I believe that both discs contain mostly the same information,. (I.e. Normandy interior) but each has its own unique content. The discs don't play out linearly. You don't put in Disc 2 for half the game and then just leave it there. Everyone CAN be recruited in the beginning it would just require



A: Modding to unlock them in the game (something Ecael has done)

B: A disc swap

Exactly, that's my point. I'm not saying ME3 would be super linear if it consisted of three discs, I'm saying it would be more linear with three discs. Of course since there should hopefully be no recruiting missions in ME3, there shouldn't be much of a problem with mission selection freedom if ME3 consisted of three discs, because most main-plot missions will occur in a specific order anyway.

That is correct. We'd have three separate "stages" where we can choose from a variety of missions to do, but we'd eventually have to complete all of them to get to the next step.

Also, for the save file hacking thread:

Really at this point, unless Ecael suddenly becomes a dev for Mass Effect 3, we just have to hope that bioware has been paying close attention at some of our suggestions. Though i really hope they got the memo that there are plenty of people who want more dialouge in Mass Effect.
