lol thats weird , i never remember my dreams no matter how hard i try to dream about something

I rarely remember mine either. That "repeat it and you'll dream it" thing never works for me, but works for some.
My husband gets all the funny dreams! Talks in his sleep, too. Just this week, he was rambling about losing his squadron, and he had to return to the castle to defend it, the demons were pouring out. This had nothing to do with DA:I :lol:

Thanks, Dirgegun. Yeah, I was figuring they wouldn't bother creating their models if those characters weren't actually in the game... But given dev comments about how we can't trust anything in the trailer, it IS good to have confirmation.

Also curious that they think folks didn't like DA2 because they expected the warden. I've never heard that, but then I only hear the discontent on BSN which probably has distinct concerns from the average player.


I personally liked DA2, but I did wonder if it would've been better if they hadn't put a 'II' in the title, seeing the games are more about the history of the Dragon Age rather than direct sequeals like the Mass Effect trilogy. That was just a thought, though, and not occumpanied by 'where's my warden rawr!'

Personally, I'm not sure why people are throwing fits over the Warden. I like my Warden, but I never got the feeling that there was more to tell about her story. It seemed pretty done to me after Origins, and it still felt done even after Awakening and the like...

That's my personal thoughts on it, anyway.

Yeah, I agree. I think people just get really attached to their characters, and the people that seemed to dislike 2 -really- don't like it, beyond just their lack of Warden. They don't understand, it's not Mass Effect where you're the same person with new romanceable people per game. As the Warden, you'd figure everything to do with them would be Grey Warden and darkspawn related, and Thedas is too full of lore, of potential for me to want to -only- stick with my Warden and their adventures.


What I find weird is that people don't want DAI to be better than DA:O. You'd think everyone would want DAI to be a million times better because it'll be a brand new DA game for us to experience with fresh eyes, not to mention how much prettier everything will look with the new engine, smoother controls and probably a longer story too.

Usually from the never satisfied with anything types, who are usually also stubborn as Hellfire and... blah, half of 'em just make me wanna smack some sense into them. The ones that are deadset on hating this game before it's even came out, solely because they didn't like 2, or the ME3 endings. I find so many comments on things where they say they have no hope for BioWare, they've been "disappointed" too often, they're boycotting future things, they "know" this'll be bad. -_-' Why bother posting on these sites?! Killjoy trolls. /rant :innocent:
I, for one, am looking forward to it. With all this time being put into it, even if there was a lack of Cullen, I'm sure I will enjoy it.

I understand that they're concerned after DA2 and the ME3 endings, but they don't need to be so rude about it.

The fact that the game will have been in development for almost 4 years when it ships is a good sign. Mind you, I guess it doesn't help that the devs/marketing haven't shown us much of anything yet when TW3 has given the public so much more info and it's had the same development time and will be released around the same time of DAI too.

Yeah, that's what bothers me the most, their responses are usually extremely uppity and rude, whilst managing to imply anyone who -did- like the previous games are in the wrong.

I figured they were keeping more on the hush-hush -because- of all the bad opinions, waiting till they had good enough things to show out of hopes of impressing/changing the minds of the people who still don't want it, or aren't sure about it, yet.

But on the other hand, I could see this backfiring, too. I think the flames need to be fed, otherwise they're risking burn-out when people lose their enthusiam. Can only go on crumbs for so long.

Yeah, I think if they leave it much longer the rumours and poison will only get worse. Especially now that everyone has seen the TW3 reveal which gave us a lot more information than DAI did, people have already upped the comparisons between both games dispite knowing next to nothing about DAI.

I guess it doesn't help that TW3 won an award recently, based on their E3 reveal alone and that was just their pre-alpha stuff.

Yeah, they've been comparing the two since before Witcher's reveal, which I haven't really thought was fair. Lots of other fantasy games coming out, those aren't getting the same comparisons. Different story, different world, different character. Till they both come out, I don't think there's much comparison to make. Definitely wouldn't do the whole "one is better than the other!" thing, since to me, they're completely different from each other. One might prefer a series to another, but I'm not gonna jump the gun when DAI hasn't even come out yet.

I guess it's the same when 2 similar themed movies come out, people can't decide which to pick. Personally, I'd just go for both. Might be the same genre, but I'm sure I'll get differing thrills.

Could be other reasons they want more mystery behind this. People already know of Geralt and his world, etc., so perhaps it's just safer to reveal more of TW3. But we can't know that, till we know more. For all we know, they've changed the direction to such an extent, they don't have anything concrete to show us, yet.

Both games are drastically different anyway, just because there are Elves and it's kinda medieval-ish it gets compared with the DA games.

There's just no way to please people these days, is there? I'm convinced they're all spoiled rotten. I love my Wardens, and sure I was initially disappointed we wouldn't continue their story but after seeing the epilogue slides again, they closed off the Warden's story. That's it for them. Nothing more. Zilch. And I learned to be okay with that, and it makes sense. We learned all we needed to know about Darkspawn and the Wardens, and then we learned everything about Hawke. We are following major figures in Thedas history and exploring the land and lore as it is exposed to that character. It's a different perspective every time. 

And I've never played The Witcher, so I can't really make a comment on it. So far, only BioWare has made me look at a game's story and go:

(Plus Dragon's Dogma and the BioShock series). XD


But I feel y'all, I'm ready for some more info too. I'm glad they are keeping so tight-lipped, and they have pushed back the release date, but...gimmie some info to nom on. :lol:

So long as I know what became of my Warden and Hawke (and that they're preferably safe/will be safe and with their LIs) then I'm good.

I like that we get to play as a new character every game because I get to craft completely new characters in a new CC (after my initial play-through where I play as myself, of course), plus I like that we get to experience Thedas and the events/issues within it from a different POV each time.

What's funny is that I actually loved both those games, so I have more reason to be afraid than most because BW can only go down from there in my eyes :lol: I'm desperately afraid I won't like it AS MUCH as I liked DA2!

Agree about BW's awesomeness, but I would also add Portal... my jaw hit the ground the first time I came to that ending.

So, based on MMG's reponse, out of curiosity, what would ruin DAI for you all? Or at least make you feel a little disappointed about it/dislike it more than the previous games?

well i would like it if it had a bit MORE story like in origins i felt like da2 didn't really had much of a story , i still enjoyed it but idk that or i would hate it if they would dispose of the love scenes or something like that lol i know many ppl don't really care about that but i think its a nice touch da2 had a fade to black rather quickly then origins at least that's my opinion

Silent protagonist
No more all-bi LI (caveat: unless the straight male LI is a dog hahaha xD)
multiplayer only (that's MMO yeah?)
terrible voice acting
awful CC / can't make a nice-looking PC
sexed up DA / all girls in chainmail bikinis, etc.
canon that Hawke and his/her LI break up / die lol

I'm such a sad, pitiful thing. ^_^

I think what would completely ruin the DA franchise for me would be if they stopped making the single player games and turned it into an MMO, or if they reverted back to "everyone is straight", or limited us to playing one gender only (which they wouldn't do anyway).

Aside from that, things that would disappoint me (but wouldn't ruin the game for me completely) would be:
  • Multiplayer that directly affects the singleplayer campaign in that you can't get the "best" endings unless you play it (like ME3)
  • If the endings felt rushed or tacked on and took away/disregarded the players decisions (like ME3)
  • If they kill off my protagonist without giving us the option on whether we want him/her to live or die
  • If they off a companion(s) and/or past protagonists for no real reason other than "dramaz", (however, it's fine if it make sense or benefits the story).
  • If Cullen's a companion/LI and his story was merely skimmed over and felt wafer thin in comparison to all the other companion/LI's stories and didn't cover or take into account his past situations and experiences with the torture/Meredith/etc. (For example, being miraculously healed upon meeting him).

Ridiculous things that would upset me more than they should, but I'd still play the game regardless:
  • Cullen not being a companion/LI. :lol:
