I'd think 3 will take longer because the engine DAO and DA2 ran on just isn't going to cut it anymore. Floating daggers on the back and whatnot doesn't help broaden the appeal. I can't see dragging that thing out for another game.

Fix the design flaws in DA2 like the silly implementation of waves and re-use of levels and keep the progress from DAO to DA2 and you should be in good shape - make some cosmetic changes and most of the whiners wills not be sharp enough to realize things haven't changed yet again.

Why doesn't Bioware use the Heroengine, the engine that they're using for SWTOR? It would be a perfect fit.

Get ready for a 4 month development cycle people. Dragon Age 3 (now with more awesome)

[Marionetten]

New engine, no more Hawke and actual choices would be a good start.

Yep. Not to mention multiple races again, tone down the unrealistic combat moves, bring back skills like Coercion, Trap-making and such, being able to equip companions with armor(the entire inventory felt like the Junk section), more interaction with your companions(see Origins), less  no waves, alot less fetch quests, longer dungeons(I really liked The Deep Roads in Origins, 'twas fun!) and bring back Shale, please

^ This. Minus the Deep Roads....found it quite boring after a while. Oh and I don't want a simple sword attack to make an enemy explode into blood and guts.

well you believe that if you want.

And you can believe Bioware hasn't dramatically changed how they are producing games if you want, but the former Bioware employee who was the lead designer for DA:O said Bioware wanted faster, cheaper games...and that's certainly what we are getting.

What's your point?  This thread is about the release of DA 3.  You hate DA 2.  You believe DA 3 will be awul based on decisions made in a game you didn't like.  So....what's the point of this conversation?  That Bioware hates YOU and will never be the same Bioware that you once percieved them as?

Basically, if they DID listen and they are trying to make another sequel to address the issues, would even play the game to begin with?  Speculation and assumptions at THIS point?  Come on, man.

Someone actually mentioned getting rid of David Gaider in this thread. I'll give you some of the other high ranking people if that will sate your blood lust, but IMO, this is Gaider's baby. And removing his voice would be disatrous for DA 3.

I also want to say that, like many others who acknowledge the flaws, I enjoyed DA 2. I DO want an expansion pack and DLC. And I also want them to take their time on the third game or at least know they have a finished product like ME 2 upon release. There's so much potential with this story and franchise and they have to do a lot worse than the DA 2 to turn me away. DA 2 had genius moments in it. It just had too many recycled environments and a shaky ending and third act. It's not a "horrible" game.

Maybe the standards were held too high. There are a lot of crappy games out there and DA 2 blows many of them out of the water.

But only as an angry, little Dwarf woman in HUGE massive armor that makes it so you can barely see her at all! (Think like that episode of Avatar where Aang tried on that armor.)

The only thing that I disagree with you is the waves. Though I do NOT mean that they should exist in their present form... But I think the way that they used waves of enemies in Origins was perfect... Especially with the Broodmother and Urthemiel.

And I also wouldn't mind the level of fetch quests in Origins. Mainly because they had plot behind them.

[MorrigansLove]

A well executed story is all I'm looking for!

Edit: Swearing removed.

About the Red Engine:

I love it, it's a great piece of work. But I don't think it's made for party based RPGs...

 

 Its official name is the Tsood engine, and You're right.  it isn't designed for party based RPGs,  but  who knows if it can be modified/tweaked.     But it does have some serious, SERIOUS   advantages over the current DA engine though, as well as some glaring disadvantages.


Advantages:

1) It's utterly and completely console ready - and easily supports Xbox game pads, from what I've heard
2) The Graphics capabilities are stunning.
3) It supports some of the  better physics  and environment interaction I've  seen in a video game.

Disadvantages:
1) it's intellectual property that belongs to someone else, which means Bioware would have to pay for its use.  
2) It doesn't support pause and play gaming - which would probably  make it a no go from Bioware's point of view.

If VoD doesn't bring help soon, there won't be a DA left to save.

First order of business. Find and destroy this so called "awesome button".

Keeping on topic however, I'm waiting to see what happens in DLC rather than look forward to DA3 right now, if they can improve on the gameplay of DA2 with the improvements that the fanbase has pointed out. Then it should be ok.....should be 

[Persephone]

Good to know. Take your time, Bioware. 3 years, please. And keep the writers, esp. David Gaider, Mary Kirby and Jennifer Hepler. Looking forward to seeing where the Thedas drama is going next. :O:O

Yep. Not to mention multiple races again,

Why? Seriously are you that shallow that what you look like matters because that is all you get with mutiple races unless 3-5 throwaway lines in 70 hours of gameplay means something to you. Race in DAO meant nothing, not one lick of importance. The more variations you have in your "start" the less the game can actually mean to that variation - hell the game handles "mage" as a class pretty weakly overall in terms of story as well so that choice is already problematic and pooorly served adding more "issues" isn't gonna help unless you just flat out ignore it like DAO did.

[bleetman]

Ah, but will it have infinite dragons?
