Bioware is a great company. So they made one mediocre game, we still have to have faith. If they do what they say they are going to then DA3 could easily be better than the first 2 games. Origins is still my favorite game to date. While I didn’t think DA2 was that bad it definitely had problems. It seems the perfect contour of Origns in all ways. All they have to do is merge the best of both games, make the awesome story and characters they are known for add some new moves and some cool addition and it will be the best game of the series.
I expect to see touch ups on DA2 action, similar mage animations where he shifted from long to close range based on enemy distance and location, no reused environments, decisions that affect the game, our old decisions put into effect, strong intriguing companion characters (I dont care about sexuality), better companion customization, better communication (more similar to Origins), Friendship/ rivalry meter, awesome companion banter, DA2 style romance scenes, Similar romance layout to DA2 (kind of develop overtime, characters come to you, actually seem to show emotion. I however would like to be able to kiss my companion whenever once in the romance, small but I found it annoying in DA2.) Fast but not to fast combat that focuses more on tactic then DA2, redesigned elves and darkspawn, more tactical play, class specials open to all characters, the ability to travel, more armor varieties, new class specializations, better (Da2) graphics, Origin stories (not as many but a few with stronger story impact, a better lead protagonist (one that easier to connect to, an Epic story like Origins, and a ending decision that actually changes the outcome and feel of the game. This is what I expect, which really is not too much since they already have the layout for most, less insanity.
I would like to see more weapon types (spears for warriors, like those metal claw like gauntlets for rogue, some cool weapon for mages), cross class trees and specials (kind of like what they keep talking about for Tallis in MotA), class specific abilities, race selection, more customization options for faces (hair, tattoos, eye color, blood marks, scars, maybe even an earring or some random stuff. It will let us make a more unique detailed lead.) Also new spells, Female tal-vashoth LI companion, Morrigan, the architect, cooler armor varieties, An ending that is more happy (ala Origins with the celebration, bid farewell to companions, do whatever) and a ending where its kind of sad or bitter sweet (this makes the game feel more real since even the hero is not immune to everything that happened and is affected by it, ala Ultimate Sacrifice. Does not have to be dying it could be something like choosing to leave for some good reason and leave everything behind, you get the drift.) Companion communication where when you are in camp you can talk to your companions whenever (not just when there is a quest and the rest of the time you get a generic response) you do not have to be able to talk about everything on the road, you can stick to special situations when exploring.
Either way DA3 will make or break this series. Oh well Legacy (and from the looks of it MotA) gives me high hopes for the series future.
