Bioware, I have a buddy who's in sales, and they have a old saying where he works. You can shear a sheep a thousand times, but you can only skin him once. Guess what? You skinned us with Dragon Age II. You hyped up DA2 only a fraction of what you've done with previous titles so we wouldn't figure out what we were getting, yet you launched one of the largest pre-order marketing campaigns I've ever seen. You KNEW we were getting an inferior product and you moved heaven and earth and used your reputation to secure sales before we had a chance to play the game and read reviews. This strategy might not work out to well for you going forward. I suggest you save those marketing dollars and put them toward developing a great game because I will NOT pre-order another title from your Dragon Age line of games until you deserve it again. IF DA3 receives at least an average Metacritic score of 8.5, which SHOULD be child's play for a Bioware game, I will purchase said title within the first few weeks of launch, and then you MAY re-earn your pre-order privilege for the next title. And I'm talking professional reviews AND user reviews will be an 85, not one or the other. You have one more chance Bioware! CDProjekt just prison rapped your DA team with TW2 and THAT wasn't even an Elder Scrolls title either. They'll be getting their backsides bored out even more in November. There's no room for inferiority in this genre anymore, so you people need to WAKE UP and ask yourselves this question. Is Dragon Age going to be a viable contender in the fantasy RPG genre? Or should you just go back to making Mass Effect games? Rant over, have a nice day.

SWEET!!!

I really hope the DA2 team read and listened to its core customers instead of telling us what they think is best........

Continue with your Warden, Morrigan, God Baby, through the mirror, maybe import Hawke in some fashion as well, use the DA2 engine with hi res textures, long game, no loose ends, all the things we loved about DAO into DA3.

But this time, I will be waiting to see instead of just pre-ordering it. DA2 was a let down for me in many ways, not a horrible game consdiering it took 18 months to program but not a DAO either, which was what I was hoping for......

For now, The Witcher 2 and soon Dungeon Siege 3 will do.

[Anathemic]

Rushing DA3 out already? What, not even 4 months old and already announced? That's awesome!

Yeah in all seriousness if DA3 is going to market the action-rpg like DA2 did, for it's sake better not release in 2012. It will get DOMINATED by Diablo 3.

Will I buy it? next year I got Diablo 3, so no.

.... You do realize that twitter is a vialable resource right:?. especially if its the twitter of one of the developers.

You do realize that if a franchise is cut, the Dev team is generally the last to know right?  You do know that twitter rates up there with coffee-room napkin scraps in terms of official news and predictive powers, right?

Edit:  Basically a twitter post means bupkis.

Tell that to CNN and other major News networks. Tell that to Newt Gingrich who announced his Run for presidency on twitter. It doesnt mean bupkis.  I'm also pretty sure that the Development team, the team in charge of its creation or development would be informed or check if it got cut before looking to hire people. face it old man i winB)

I hope Dragon Age 3 is more like orgins. An epic rpg game in the spirit of baldurs gates.

 I don't want Dragon age to be like Baldurs gate. Let the series grow in it's own direction.

This whole series will just suck again, as long as Laidlaw keeps his position.

Sigh, I dunno, I'm not going to get my hopes up I have a sad feeling that I will be disappointed again. I thought DA2 was okay but it wasn't the amazing squeal to one of my favorite games like I thought it was going to be. It made improvements to the combat but It was lacking in story and companion interactions. The game wasn't horrible but it had so much potential to be more than what it turned out to be.

You win?  An unsubstantiated twitter post means nothing.  Trust me on this because I've been around the financial block.  If a project or IP is ghoing to be cut, the people on that project are the last to know.  Always.

That's just the way it works.  Also he was looking to possibly hire a group of people for a group of hypothetical future games one of which might be DA3.

Really that's it.  It's about as official as our posts here and should be regarded as such.

Sheesh......

DA3 will be EAioware most successful first person shooter rpg. If they let you use repeating crossbow ,that is.

DA:O is one of the best games I have ever played to date. I will give credit to Bioware for that.

DA2 on the other hand, seems like a decent Bioware game, but is nowhere near the level of DA:O, which offered unique characters, a great storyline and multiple landscapes with a plethora of different cultures to explore. It was a brilliant game because of both it's atmosphere, the cast and the decently put together gameplay.

What Dragon Age 2 does is stuff your character into a single limited map for all fifteen hours of gameplay and extend it as much as possible. What Dragon Age Origins had (Characters with actual depth, engrossing atmosphere, good storyline.) Is replaced with some dwarf talking about the tale of Hawke. In short, Bioware seemed to think, "Hey! We made a lot of money with Origins! Let's rip this bugger dry." And proceeded to make a weak imitation of the original. Even the imitation was good, I must admit, but it is nowhere, repeat, nowhere in comparison to the original.

So if they are thinking of making DA3 by end of February, I'm assuming they are planning to shear the game even further.

[tishyw]

If/when DA3 comes out, I suspect it will be more like DA2 than Origins. Mike Laidlaw has already said that they have no intention of doing a 180 and going back to Origins, and that DA2 is the way the IP is moving forward.

Face it, DA2 was exactly what Bioware wanted, for whatever reason they've decided that action RPG are the way to go rather than character RPG's. I've never understood that decision given the success of Origins, but that's the way it is.

And all this is assuming that Bioware will exist for long after the release of TOR, personally I think that if they wanted to do a space MMO they'd have been better off basing if on Mass Effect.

i have zero interest in dragon age 3. EA didn't learn anything from da2 **** storm and i am pretty sure taht da3 will be even more dumbed down than da2....awesome things will happen without the need to even push a button!!!

[MorrigansLove]

All I hope, with all my heart, is that they spend enough time to make DA3's story amazing. Please, Bioware. Don't let us down.

If DA3 continues w/Hawke ..... I'll be sticking with Cd Projekt and Bethesda Softworks for my fantasy RPG's.

So.... if Bio sticks with a player character who's somewhat more restricted than the one you had in DAO you'll stick with a franchise that has a completely predetermined player character?

Exactly what principle are you upholding here?

That is my question as well... what makes people love the TW series so immensely? A completely predetermined player character there, I don't get the point and why this should be something great in an RPG...

but it's as I have stated in another post, games tend to become plug and play, no manual needed, just grab the joypad and start... shudders

I hope DA3 will rather become a DA:O 2. But if February 2013 is true, I don't have much hope that it will be a lot different to DA2... but I would be really happy to be shown the opposite.

[Browneye_Vamp84]

I'll buy DA3 just because I wouldn't mind seeing this series go all the way. I have only beaten DA2 once (didn't have the the patience to play again) I hope to see a novel... of some sort... doubt it but one can hope XD

[LPPrince]

DA2 is the first Bioware game I haven't completed more than once.

I think that's telling.

[Bmeszaros]

Bioware won't be getting a pre order for DA3 from me.

No way they go back to the original formula in Origins and I think they do take criticsm of DA2 into consideration, but, then you have a formula once again for a game that will again tried to be billed to multiple audiences and genres, and in the end, I have a feeling I won't be purchasing it at all since DA2 did such a subpar job of that.


And for everybody that hated the overhyped pre release spin on DA2, get ready, cause DA3's pre release build up will likely be worse, Its going to have to be.

Well, after Laidlaw words about DA2: Yay, we won! Im expecting nothing more than Laidlaw Age again. I doubt that they will listen theirs fans and take critism to heart. They are sure ( at last Mr. Laidlaw is) that DA2 was the GOTY so Im not excited with this new. For sure will not pre-order DA3 and will not buy it in the first day.

[Blue Face Beast]

You guys know that as soon as they advertise a special gift will be given to all pre-orders you will all fall for it again lol

Resistance is futile. EA always wins. They will have us purchase another of their turd and when we realize we got owned yet again, EA will be laughing while counting our dollars.

[Nightshade IX]

Wow. I didn't realise there are still so many angry people after 2+ months. I don't think there are many who are as disappointed with dragon age 2 as I was. But I'm sure dragon age 3 will be much better. Witcher 2 was somewhat 'therapeutic' for me after dragon age 2. Maybe it will work for you guys too?

This might apply to some, but definitely not to me. Despite loving DA:O so much I resisted DA2, only played it on my friend's PC (who is very disappointed as well btw), and I will definitely resist to pre-order DA3 or even buy it quickly after release. I will wait, see what it is, and then decide.
