EA = death of Bioware.... you will be missed.

[Tatinger]

Remember: when Dragon Age: Origins was being developed they wanted to make it a MMORPG (if I'm remembering some of the pithy engravings on the tombstones in the village of Haven correctly), so, I think to them, this was always in the works as a long term goal.  Again, if the rumours for what we might be seeing in DA 3 are true.

My main concern isn't multiplayer in and of itself so much as it is the investment required to do it right.  DA2 already seemed incomplete and strained.  So they have some things to improve.  Do you really want to add in multiplayer at a time when you still need to get single-player back on track?  It's worrisome.  It's worrisome because it isn't the approach some others I've respected have taken.  Consider, Skyrim and Batman: AC.  In both cases, the devs explicitly rejected multiplayer--not because multiplayer was bad--because they knew their games were single-player and that it would suffer if they worked on multiplayer as well.  It'd be nice to see Bioware take the same approach with DA3.

Mass Effect 3 wants Call of Duty's audience and Dragon Age wants...every audience in the world?

[Rafficus III]

All I care is that this multiplayer, if true, remains as DLC or an alternative option completely in it's own corner of the game with no impact on the main story. It works for ME3 but not for DA. Bioware is my favorite devoloper and I have loved both DA games, but multiplayer would be a huge mistake. It's hard enough for a fan of DA2 to come to the forums and wade through all the "EA is the Devil," "Bioware is dead to me," "DA is dumbed down and casualized" nonsense. I know you want a wider audience, but the audience you have now is flaking so fix your current problems before venturing into more innovations.

As long as the multiplayer bit is optional, and doesn`t leech ressources from a possible great singple player game, I dont mind it. I wouldn`t play any multiplayer mode though.

Except his own audience becasue we are old and geeky and smell too much of RPG !

Zots allocated for MP are better spent on SP. That is all.

Co-op is not bad idea doing dg's older bioware games had multiplayer you guys forgot. but after da2 i expect more fast one button combat.

Your petty insult doesn't even make sense. Neither game required you to use more than one botton in combat; heck in the PC version you didn't even have to use buttons at all.

[OSUfan12121]

Pretty soon someone will come in and say there wont be any multiplayer in DA just like they did for ME then 3 months later it will be confirmed.

It seems I don't possess eidetic  memory, after all.  What the tombstone actually says is: "In loving memory of multiplayer".  Which is a lot different from what I remember it saying. 

Apologies.

I can imagine the developers gushing over an arena-like environment with a partially-modelled dragon that has more spikes than Bowser's castle tearing people to pieces as the playtester facerolls his abilities as we speak.

I think they're going to call it 'stylized strategic gameplay', which is intended to make you feel as if you possess the tactical prowess of a spartan, or general, or a warlord, only without the nagging problem of actually having to plan out your strategy.

And everytime you press a button something AWESOME happens!

... sorry, could not resist.

[Rawgrim]

The only tactical choice will be WHEN to press the awsomme button.

Okay that was a total brainfart, but my point still stands.

I had forgotten about that, but this was the initial reason I had no interest in Dragon Age.

That's just it.... People are afraid

Understandable, and surely that's one of the reasons. I admit I'm afraid, too, though not because of this announcement (which I'll believe when I see it from somewhere official). I think it may also be a case of missing knowledge and experience, though. NWN is really old by now. BG2 even older. What's the average age in the community, how many players here have actually played either title? How many here really know how fun multiplayer in an RPG can be?

I played them, and i still saying that i don't [censored] wnt a mmo on DA.

Go play CS.

EA is clueless. They nearly destroyed a popular and respected franchise forcing Bioware to rush a game that lacked vision, ambition, soul and (most importantly) budget. How are they going to reverse the tide? Well, they are going to waste resources sticking a MP feature that no one cares about over the game, even using an engine that is different from the original game ones (with greater costs since you cannot recycle assets).

Just because they are sure that SP is death and that MP is the future and no game can be published without MP (and mostly because they want to fight Steam with their Origin spyware). While Skyrim is selling more than ME2 and DA2 combined...

So, spending money for new assets is good for MP but the main game need to be recycled to death. I mean, I've never been one of the people in the "EA evil overlord" camp but I begin to think that Richard Garriot was right about them. There must be an office in EA headquarters named "how to anger DA fans".

Oh, and the docs are clueless too since they seem so happy to accept all that crap from them. Now EA is probably going to force Bioware logo on a Command & Conquer RTS game just to squeeze some quick dollars from us. I had my fears when Bioware was bought by EA but I could not believe that it could go that bad that fast.

Applaud to this guy, never the true was said so simple.
EA always was the type of company that published 6516816316 games with mutiplayers and ****ty things and never succeeded, and always get owned by companys like Blizzard.
Welcome to EA world guys.

i'm ok with multiplayer if single player is still awesome.

If you think that removing a single letter from a curse word to get it past the censors is a brilliantly subversive gesture, you are mistaken. The filter is there for a reason. Don't try and circumvent it.

[DamnThoseDisplayNames]

We should invent our own biowarish swear words and let Epler go and sonictheheghog herself for dissalowing us to freely express one of the main spectre of emotion. Anger, I mean.

1. John Epler is male.

2. It is perfectly possible to express oneself without resorting to curse words. If that is troubling for you, I would suggest locating a dictionary and perhaps a thesaurus.

Instead, I will allow you to go forth and locate a book of children's names. Let me guide your reading a bit - go look at the J section under male names. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but expect a revelation.
