Gosh, I don't know. Was just catching up in twitter thread... And now I'm more skeptical about how much we'll see at E3.

So this mini E3 preview they're doing on Thursday often shows quick little glimpses of the games being reveal at the event. I wonder if DA3 will be shown briefly?
I wonder if we would even recognise that it's DA3 just from a quick flash? Especially if it's drastically changed in appearance with the new Frostbite 3 engine.

Another guilty pleasure of mine is to stand in their way. I remember this turian dude in ME3 who was pushing my Shep for quite a distance. Most of them stop though, weirdos.meanieweenie wrote...
Seriously, if the random npcs have half assed faces again I'm going to lose my mind. And yes, they really do need some kind of task. It really bothered me that some of them would be pacing 20 ft, then do a total 180 of out nowhere.LolaLei wrote...

After several recent games the expectations are high for more natural npc ai. I love to stalk npcs in Skyrim...motomotogirl wrote...
One thing I feel DA can take from Skyrim is the way NPCs are always doing something... chopping wood, blacksmithing, playing tag, whatever. At the ball for example I'd love it if some people were talking in a group, one was munching on food, others were dancing... not everyone just standing around woodenly like in MOTA.
A lot of people complained about the companions/npcs/AI being rubbish in the DA games, and what with a lot of recent RPG games really going above and beyond with that sort of thing I expect that DA3 will probably follow suit... or I hope so anyway, not that it's massively important, but it adds to the ambience. Seems kinda pointless having amazing looking environments without the characters within it making use of it.
On a serious note I would like if at least several main npcs had some sort of simple daily routine. So you can find them in different places.

Cullen looking out across the sea wondering what fate awaits him in DA3.
I really love this one, there's just something about the colours the artist used and the melancholic expression on his face. Whenever I see this one it always makes me want Cullen as a romanceable companion in DA3 even more than usual.
I don't know. Keeping it a big mystery can elevate interest but it will only work for a certain period of time and probably only on certain targets. The best approach is to slowly reveal piece by piece, while playing the strenghts, without spoiling anything. Such things as character generator, demo with a few minutes of gameplay (I liked how the DA2 has started when you could play with different powers depending on class), customization options etc. If they try to be overly secretive for too long people will be drained before the game release time or they will be disappointed by the game since scarcity of information creates a perfect field for wild speculation.LolaLei wrote...
I was thinking, do you suppose that the DA team are going about their publicity and promotion of DA3 differently this time due to Dragon Age 2's marketing approach being highly criticised?
I'm wondering if their approach this time around is to not announce anything until relatively close to the shipping date, which is presumably still Fall, or early 2014 at the latest. If so, then it's a pretty smart approach because it means there's little to no chance of them promising anything that won't make it into the finished product.
I love pro-active LIs. Did any of the writers say anything about removing it altogether? When I read DGs thoughts on the subject he seemed unfazed about the outrage regarding Anders and his sneaky ways ;] Hence I thought they would still use it if it was fitting the character and the story.Scr0ll wrote...
Another thing is initiative. I loved that the PC wasn't the one that took the initiative in DA2 with Anders or Isabela. But I understand that they won't do that again. Still, I'd like for something similar by making just an innocent first move an LI that has the fitting personality can then drive the flirting and be the one who seduced you.

Even though I would love him to be revealed as early as possible I agree. Probably also due to the fact that if he was announced as a follower before other characters' reveals it would trigger rage over DA3 board :]Newschmoo wrote...
Me too ^^ ! You go to bed and a further 10 pages fly by. Can't keep up, this is the most active thread in the forum!
I would agree with Scr0ll, that a mixture of both would be good. And yes, more interaction would be great!
I thought the romance in DA2 was a bit too early in the game for me. I felt that one minute Hawke was flirting with Isabela, then next thing Wham! On the other hand, I wouldn't want it to occur at the end, like ME3 (although I can see why they did that, bearing in mind it was the last mission and all).
I hope they are going to show the preview on the EA website. Have to admit that the timing is handy!
It is difficult to know how Bioware will market the game. I think the CGI trailer will be awesome (as they always are), but I don't think much will be revealed in terms of companions. If Cullen should become a companion, I think he will be left till last. Prolong the agony!

I hear ya. Somehow I don't see them revealing a lot (since nowadays it's very rare that any indepth info is presented on E3) but I would love to be pleasantly surprised by themScr0ll wrote...
By spectacular I mean we get to see stuff in action, see CC, see companions, hear about the story, information about save import solution, see the world etc.
I don't think that will happen.
Actually, I have to take that back. They haven't said they won't do it, just talked about silly people going into homophobic rage. I got a feeling they'd do it differently this time. But you know... I hope NOT! I would LOVE for them to stick it to the homophobes again. MOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAMOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:devil:neonmoth wrote...

Oh that's great then, you made me worried for a moment. I hope they will keep it with more outgoing characters :] It really earned developers a massive respect in my book. Who knows, maybeScr0ll wrote...

I bet you're right. But! It would at least answer two questions. 1) What logo they'll use going forward (hello, E3 pool question #15!), and 2) More confirmation that E3 will show us DA3 (not that we need more... but still!).Chanda wrote...

If they show a flash of anything, I bet it will be the dragon intro that turns into the Bioware logo, and then the Official Dragon Age: Inquisition logo, because we still don't have any real idea of what that's going to look like. And then I bet any trailers or game play clips will be saved for the 10th and after.
There. Fixed it for ya!neonmoth wrote...

I still maintain that part of the reason we get so much hate is because he's the only companion remotely closed to being revealed already. Please please please, let them reveal someone else soon!
