Well, they are adding multiplayer to ME3, so it makes complete sense for it to be added to the Dragon Age....sorry, Dragon Effect franchise.

Thankfully it's only a rumour at present. I will say if multiplayer is added, taking away focus on a top-notch single-player experience to make up for the monstrosity that DA2 is, then Bioware loses me as a customer. Permanently.

No, they are not.

Thank duck for that.

Sorry, you're wrong there.

If it's MP like Baldur's Gate, why not. Maybe even control your companions. Decisions could be based on voting, as I think Dungeon Siege will try. But, in general, MP fails when not playing with friends. Drop in/out would be a good idea if it wasn't for people to be jerks on internet. Like the whole drop in battle in Total War. Nice idea untill players who loose rage quite or people who won't attack just to spite you.

WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS AND I'M SCARED OF STRANGERS?!?!

Well they you're screwed in our socialmedia, everything has to be mp, era.

Its just rumor..hopefully Bioware addresses this. I just don't think it would be the same experience if they added multiplayer.

[ZeshinX]

Actually they are adding MP to ME3. I won't get in to a yes/no argument with the folks here. I trust my source that it's being added.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong and I will happily accept it.

Indeed. Multiplayer just don't fit with Bioware games.

Trust me, you're wrong. Your sources are also wrong. Unless you have proof of these sources of yours?

I think the latest Game Informer magazine said that Mass Effect 3 will be a single player only game.

[MCPOWill]

 maybe co-op like. Some has their Hawke and I have my Warden from a co-op campaign.

I agree with you that it doesn't fit in Bioware games.  At all.  Unfortunately, its not just Bioware anymore.  It's EA as well.

If everyone feels it won't be added, fair enough and I will let it go.

Now we're just waiting for ZeshinX to produce his proof to the contrary...

I really don't see them doing it, they didn't for ME3. And I hope DA3 will have proper development time.

What the hell is happening to Bioware..?

I have no desire to provide proof, as said source will lose their job at Bioware Montreal.

Anyway, I have no wish to provoke a lockdown about this.  My information is as much rumour as multiplayer in DA3 is.  It could be completely unfounded and my source may just be messing with me (it's not the first time lol, but they seemed pretty genuine).

Back to the thread topic, I sincerely hope DA3 doesn't have multiplayer.  It should remain as single-player game.

are we really discussing this? really??

[Junri]

Honestly, I would say its too early to tell. They could have honestly thrown the idea of multi-player onto the idea board as I would assume if DA3 is in development right now its still in its very very early stages. After all, they are scouting the forums to see what went wrong with Dragon Age 2 and trying to avoid it in DA3.

I totally agree. Unfortuneatly -multiplayer seems to be the rule these days, rather than the exception....

[AkiKishi]

Protagonist centric stories are not very good for multiplayer. That leaves either MP being some sort of other entity ala CoD. Maybe Wardens vs Darkspawn etc.
Thing is there are already MMPORGs for fantasy versions of this kind of thing. Any further weakening of the SP story based game is just going to drive off even more of the core fanbase with little evidence that they will be replaced by others who are just itching to play MP Dragon Age.

Drop in MP though, that's always a worthwhile feature. Not going to work too well in DA2's combat system though.

This.  

In a game that involves conversation, what makes them think that 3 people (or whatever) would want to sit around passively by allowing someone else to make the decisions. I have never seen THAT much co-operation in multiplayer games online, in my history LOL  Everyone wants to be the boss.  

I just can't see it working well AND being a quality single-player game with the current style of story.  

Just. No. Please gawd of all that is right and just, no.   Concentrate on doing ONE thing really well.  you don't have to be the be-all end all of everything, just one thing.  RPG. Unless of course, that isn't what they want to be anymore...who knows.  

I hope it is just a weird rumour. Or that they have 2-3 years to get it done moderately well.
