Sadly I don't think we will see CO-Op enabled Dragon Age

Most of the companies and Publishers seem to think that providing Co-Op in a RPG, with easy development tools is leaving money on the table. The Subscription route via an MMO style offering is seen as being more profitable.

Not to mention gauging the risk of cannibalising sales of other Multiplayer Properties (MMOs and other) that the publisher and/or developer may own.

I think NWN 3 is going to be an utter and complete mess, nothing like what I want from NWN 1 and 2. And that's the last hurrah.

Nothing else similar appears to be on the horizon for the next year or two.

I would be ecstatic over a Multiplayer co-op enabled Dragon Age. But...just don't see it happening

Good picture Barrett. I will save that one! *evil smile*

Casey Hudson seems to think BioWare is moving towards multiplayer "as a company" (GI interview on ME3).  Might not mean anything, but it's in print and from a dev.

I do not care to have any sort of multiplayer and hope they don't waste development cash on it.  They need to stick with working on deep, immersive single-player that has real choice and consequence.

They will make the game however they want. Does anyone not read any interview? They said in ever question. Everone likes the way DA2 went and any futuire da games will be based on 2. Bioware will do whatever they want just like any gaming company. Which Is why I never payed for any of there games. I love reading these topics, because people think there long reply actually matters.

Baldur's Gate had a cooperative multiplayer mode, which was basically the campaign with each player controlling a certain amount of party members.
LAN parties of Baldur's Gate 2 were fun.

Okay, just in case Bioware does read the forums...

As a long time fan who paid for every BG and DA published so far, I VOTE NO in case your considering it. I love the single player, story driven game style and though DA2 seemed a rush job that catered to teens, I would still prefer it to an on-line multiplayer.

If you want my money, then provide me with the quality of your past work. A great game that has replay value like DA:O will have me purchasing the DLCs to download. Those are a great place to test innovations to your games and then incorporate those that are poplar into the main games. Ten bucks I can shrug off if disappointing. Harder to do with $60.

Multiplayer mode will just save me a lot of disposable income I will be able to use elsewhere. I play computer games to get away from everyone, since I deal with way too many people's needs in the real world. The last thing I want is other people interrupting my game and how I want to play it.

Mainstream is for sheep. It is better to be unique and epic. You will always have a following.

If you buddy warned you they were about to start a conversation, yes they were.

That said:

I don't want Multiplayer. If i want Multiplayer or Coop i will go and play an MMO or play a Multiplayer Game like Battlefield 2142. End of this year there will be Battlefield 3... so i don't need other multiplayer games.

Lately, or rather in recent years, everyone seem to have the need to stuff Multiplayer into games, and doing so they usually either totally ruine the singleplayer experiance or they don't really get balance right, because they have to balance for Singleplayer as well as Multiplayer.

I like Coop, i like playing with a buddy at the weekends, when we can make time. But (And this is very important) 90% of my time i am playing alone. When i am getting home from a hard day in the office, i do not want to put up with other people. I love having fun with my friends, but not when i am ready to snap at people because i am annoyed. It only leads to bad blood.

That little insight into my life might be rather unimportant, but i just want to point out... i don't want Multiplayer Games. Yes there aren't enough GOOD Multiplayergames, but that doesn't mean every game has to have a Multiplayer part and i certainly want a good singleplayer above all else.

There are just so many times i do not want to play with others, but simply entertain myself.

[DownyTif]

I think there is a LOT to improve if DA3 is based on DA2 before going to coop multiplayer. Because if nothing is done and DA3 is DA2 with a new story, again far from Origins gameplay, I won't even be able to experience coop with friends. All of them didn't like DA2 and stated they won't buy DA3.

That being said, coop is fun but I'm strong about having a great single player experience with a great story before multiplayer. For me, multiplayer is only a bonus. In certain games, I wish I had multiplayer (games like Galactic Civilization 2). But in a "RPG", single player.

[tanerb123]

i think bioware is willing to lose its old user base if the new generation call of duty players are more in numbers. if da2 was an absolute success over da:0, they would not hesitate a second to announce da:3 mp. but now they are in danger. they know that they'll lose at least some of their user base , and they did not really attract alot of people from call of duty generation as well.

[bigSarg]

I remember a few games that had multi-player options and they were ok, but I agree with most of the posts, I wouldn't like to give up content just for an option that I wouldn't use, if I wanted a multi-player game I'd play an MMO like World of warcraft or Rift. I did enjoy playing Diablo as a multi-player game but not at the expense of content and they can't afford to lose any more content then they did with DA2 or their wouldn't be a game to play.

[ZombiesAteHim]

Dragon Age 2 was good, multiplayer sucks, inbreds love call of duty because they hate thought.

[Faust1979]

They have done multiplayer in the past with Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate 2 as long as it doesn't force you to use the multiplayer part then I don't care

[Haexpane]

As long as it has sword Gun blades, zombies, M16s, rank up screens, medics, tanks, helicopters, explosions, and No dedicated servers;....

Can you give us the GI quote, Addai, if possible. I'd really like to see the whole thing in context if possible as I don't get GI.

[BubbleDncr]

I want to be able to play all of DA3 by myself, with no multiplayer required.

But, if DA3 had the ability for my boyfriend to just hop into battles with me, whenever he wanted, and just controlled one of my 3 party members, I would be fine with that. It would probably make him complain less about hogging the tv.

[NKKKK]

Noticed how the devs didn't exactly deny it.

[Vicious]

I don't see how it can possibly be good.

You've got the 'epic' singleplayer campaign. Well and good.

What the hell's multiplayer going to be?

PVP Mages vs. Templars?

Because there's no room for co-op Baldur's Gate style in this engine.

I'm not with the "ZOMG I HATE/FEAR MULTIPLAYER" crowd, but I think it's a waste of time.

Bioware already killed the goodwillcreated by DA:O and failed to attract many 'new' players.

Most of my friends [the casual gamers] are playing the hell out of Crysis 2 and have no idea what DA2 is nor likely any interest in it.

Multiplayer wouldn't change that. This is a niche crowd. A big niche, but a niche. Even ME/ME2 was a niche. [ME2 less so since the friends I've gotten to play absolutely love it due to it's gears of war-esque gameplay and dialogue trees]

Um multiplayer and I am out. That will be it for me. If I want an MMORPG I will reinstate my WoW account and my 4 no 5 level 60s and two level 80s...if I am remembering that correctly.

I too want to play alone with NPG friends. I take cancer calls all day. I talk to people dying. I want to escape and be alone for a while, even if that too (along with choices in the game) are an illusion.

[Vicious]

I am sure that multiplayer would be completely seperate from the main campaign, a la Assassin's Creed:Brotherhood and countless other games.

That said... I don't see how it could be anything more than a waste of time detracting from the length of the regular campaign.

DA2 was simply not solid enough of an offering for me to have any faith in Bioware doing yet another 'new' thing.

I got to the part where Barrett said he wanted opinions.

No. No, no, no. The idea of multiplayer is to have you and a friend working together. The problem is that this is not some vapid shooter. There are characters that we create, and in a sense, control. I don't understand the complaints about DA 2, but if DA 3 becomes some multiplayer nonsense, then it would feel like you've abandoned the story based rpg. Just my take on it.

Multiplayer was great for games like Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Smash Brothers, Mario Kart. Dragonage is a very PERSONAL experience.

EDIT:  I should also add that I find MMO's to be a large waste of time.  I find them pointless.  So if that's Bioware is going, I really WON'T buy it, and I'm the so-called "Biodrone."  I'm not buying the Old Republic either.

Hi Bioware, fan here. I have 2 requests for DA3 -

1) No multiplayer
2) A game with an actual plot, decisions, and player impact on world events

Thanks!

If I wanted a fantasy game with the Awesome Button and Multiplayer, I'd snag a proxy and play Vindictus for free.
