I believe it was ME or ME2 that got the Fox treatment.
Either way, Fox News consists of a bunch of idiots.
It was ME1, which i don't if it was because of this why BioWare hasn't shown anymore nudity in their games.

Maturity? Not really no they aren't. Well, the God of War series had one scene with a nude blonde woman that wasn't about sex. It was about Kratos not giving up. But otherwise it's really just "Disregard story, bang hot women and get red orbs"
But.... they haven't received any **** for showing nudity, despite the sex being fun minigames. Even if you don't actually see the sex itself, you see the nudity beforehand. And in the case of GoW3, you see two of Aphrodite's female lovers going at it while Kratos is going at it with Aphrodite, who's always going at it.

Yes to all of this.The Ethereal Writer Redux wrote...
Also, Origin stories:
First, I predict (really it's actually me hoping) we'll be playing as a person who is recruited into the Seekers and can either:
A) Side with the TemplarsWant the status quo to return
C) Side with the mages
Second, here's what I'd like to see depending on race:
1.) Human -- Warriors and rogues are from Nevarra. You're a guard for the ruling family, the Pentaghasts, and your elite service catches the eye of the now broken Chantry. They are in dire need of more able people to help restore order, so they recruit you.
Mages on the other hand are a Tevinter slave. Your master abuses you and your family, and has gone so far to use your own sister as fodder for his spells. Fed up, you brutally slay him but are now awaiting execution. Many slaves have been planning another revolt for years and are now ready to do it if you are killed because you exacted justice, were friends with most of these slaves, and they too are fed up with Tevinter's system. Leliana, seeing what you did as justifiable and working undercover for the White Chantry, uses her bardic arts to persuade them to release you into her custody so as to avoid Tevinter facing another revolt. This revolt would destroy Tevinter, which while the Chantry would be happy to see, they have other issues.
2) Elf -- Warriors and Rogues are from Antiva. A former assassin of the Antivan Crows, you left that life long ago when you fulfilled your last contract against a corrupt noble planning to take over the Antivan throne. Haunted by your past killings, you keep convincing yourself that it was nothing personal. But you have killed men, women, and even children because the Crows told you to. At the local tavern in glorious Antiva City, you overhear something outside. You venture outside to find the noble who hired the Crows standing over your guildmaster's corpse. Seeing you, he has now worked to frame you for the crime, and now the Crows hunt you relentlessly. Your only sanctuary is in the now broken Chantry as the Crows won't touch you there, but you vow to get revenge on that noble and prove your innocence.
Mages however are apostates from the Circle, now on the run. Your mother was a Dalish outcast long ago, and you are seeking them out for safe shelter from the rogue Templar dogs that now hunt you. Traveling from village to village, you avoid going near the Chantries. When you eventually find the Ralaferin clan and its Keeper Gisharel, you see more Templar dogs. These ones however, are not after you, but are after the Keeper and his First. With no other choice, you defend them from the Templars. They offer you shelter within their clan, but the Seekers who are led by Cassandra arrive and take you with them. Their numbers are more than the clan, and you tell them not to try and defend you. You'll gladly submit so long as they will not be harmed. Cassandra agrees and you go with them.
3.) Dwarf -- Warriors and Rogues are an exiled Noble caste dwarf from Orzammar for a murder of one of Bhelen's/Harrowmont's allies that the Assembly doesn't know if you committed or not, but Bhelen/Harrowmont says that should new evidence be brought to light that condemns you, they will hunt you down. Cast out, you now wander Ferelden, unsure of what to do now. The only person who said they would still talk to you is a good friend of yours from the Mining Caste who said he'd help you in any way he could. As you wander the countryside, you think to yourself that you'll become a mercenary or a smuggler. Working for a new mercenary company or smuggler group, your skills catch the attention of the Seekers. The Seekers have been doing some spying on you and now approach you. They know about your contact in Orzammar, and want to use that to help bring the Templars under their control again. With the Chantry now fractured and Dagna's books having caused a free Circle to be established in Orzammar, they need as much lyrium as they can get. Even if you refuse, they threaten to use forged evidence against you and send it to Orzammar. With not much choice, you grudgingly accept.
4.) Tal-Vashoth -- Once a devout follower of the Qun, you left that life seeking a freedom you never thought possible. Your time as Tal-Vashoth has showed you the flaws of the Qunari as well as the flaws of everyone else. Wandering about, you sell yourself as mercenary to the Chantry. The mages and Templars don't matter to you. The Chantry isn't important. What matters to you is your new freedom. Freedom to live your life the way you choose to.
Females have an added reason for leaving the Qun. They wanted to prove that they could fight. That women can indeed be warriors. If she can't prove it to the Qunari, she'll prove it to herself.
Lastly, all of these roles would preferably be fully voiced by different VAsand Bioware shall implement a voice toggle.
This took me about 30 minutes at least to think up (wasn't keeping track of time), so people may have beaten me to certain ideas and there may be kinks in my ideas.

Yes you want to please the masses, but we as adoring fans want massive eyecandy.

Mage example: a Blood Mage is all about using health instead of mana to power spells, so perhaps that spec drops the mana resource entirely and adds a 'blood' resource in its place, where they have some sort of core ability to drain enemy (or ally) health and store it as blood. Then they can cast spells, expending their blood resource, only cutting into health once their blood hits zero (unless they stop casting to drain more).

I´ve also said in another thread that Blood Mage should stick out from the normal mage group. There should be choises and changes in the story if player chooses to become a Blood Mage, significant even since blood magic is somewhat despised in the game world. Also, since blood magic is considered to be a such horrible thing this should reflect in the players spells much more. Blood magic should give player a more deadlier and "horrible" spell choises since it is supposed to be the source of all evil. Necromancy, turning live characters into undead being under players command etc. should be available. Or in minimum it should atleast give the ability to summon wraiths to players help in combat. So far blood magic choise had zero effect in the game play and the spells given were just minor ones.

Americans are strange in that regard. Blood, murder, gore and mayhem, its all good for even little children but little nudity, oh noes!!! My eyes are burning!! My morality goes down hill!!! I wonder what causes that.

The video game industry is old. It's time to destroy all the old catgories and invent new ones from the ashes of the best of the past. I like a combination of action, cinematic story, toolset, and MP, all of the highest quality.
P.S. The difference between DAO, DA2, and TW2 graphics is the use of lighting. Although, games like DAO look attractive in all their shiny glory, I often have to ask myself, "Why is there colored light coming out from under every rock? Why does my crusty armor glow?"

Also look at the armor and the faces. Dragon Age: Origins looks real, DA:2 look cartoony and fake

The armor may not look real in DA2 but they are more estecticaly(sp?) pleasing to look at. the armor in DA:Origin looked all the same with deffirent color and don't get me started on the shoulder pad armor taller than the head of the character.
graphic is not even that important, if it was I wouldn't still be playing Arcanum or Baldur gates.

The warrior armor did but the mage armor was just about the best looking mage outfit in the game, rogue wasn't too bad either.Dandynermite wrote...
In DA2 you get DLC armor and there is no need for Armour for the rest of the game, it looks shocking,
The facial animations/expressions are one of the best things about the game, conveying the emotion the character is feeling.Dandynermite wrote...

My suggestions:
1 - Please do NOT bring back Origins. Been there, done that.
2 - Definitely keep Hawke as protagonist. Keep him voiced as well.
3 - Keep the dialogue wheel, it works well.
4 - Keep current graphics engine, but make the necessary improvements to it.
5 - Dynamic Day/Night cycles
6 - No framed narrative, and no chopping up the game into chapters with time gaps.
7 - Dog as proper upgradable companion as in Origins
8 - Keep current class abilities but add some new moves
9 - Make the world seem more alive, particularly NPCs. Give people things to do instead of just standing around in the same place throughout the game.
10 - Do not make DLC free, this will no doubt result in poor quality content.
11 - Make a massive, awesome game with LOTS of achievements that require more effort to get.
And how exactly would keeping DA2 "fix" DA?
I've seen enough of your posts around here to know what you're about. But please try to rise a bit to the occasion.
This thread recognizes that DA is in a bit of problem, as a starting point for the discussion.
