yep, i tried..... can't haha and wonderful my potential interest in DA3 just dropped Image IPB

They did say some things though. Some things that they specifically said is that they were going to bring back customizable squad armour, that they were going to do away with the reused dungeons, and that the game map will be getting a lot bigger this time, rather than a lot smaller. They also recognized and apologized about the fact that in DA2 there were no decisions you could make that could have an effect on anything in the story (that it's story was completely on the rails), and I believe they blamed it on development time. Also, they said they were looking at Skyrim, to use the openess of that world to base their game on (lol, I love how they had to use an example of a legit proper game, a competitors game, to give people hope that their game won't be crap this time arond.)

Anyways, those are all Bioware promises. And I think we all know what a Bioware promise is worth at this point. Mass Effect 3 fell pray to a lot of the flaws that were present in DA2, so I would say I'd have to be very hopeful for them to kick that habbit of slopiness. Without proper development time, I really doubt they can. Watch for the release date.

And I agree that not continuing with Hawke is a poor decision. Hawke was the one thing I liked from DA2 (though I guess the basic idea behind the game was cool, but it's excution was lol). I really don't want to have to get into the story of another character again. They strongly hinted that Hawke and the Warden might make cameos in the game, and that they would use DA3 to wrap up Hawke's unfinished story... But after ME3 I have doubts in their abilities in crafting effective cameos, and giving stories actual conclusions.

In case you haven't figured, I won't be buying DA3, lol

Well I think Nharia left a cleric around here somewhere, though there is no guarantee that s/he is alive. Someone else had a scroll of resurrection. Just need to find either one.

She's still alive.

Lol true enough :P I guess plot armor saved you from the temporary thread death haha
@bassi, those are good things if they actually turn out to be true and not more promises waiting to be broken, and i agree I don't really want to get into another completely new character, id rather play hawke again (ill buy it used though I think)

Depends on what kind of computer you've got. If it's a sweet gaming rig, then get yourself IL-2: Cliffs of Dover. If your computer is fair to midland, then get IL-2: 1946 (the former is a Battle of Britain sim and the latter is the difinitive edition of the venerable IL-2 Sturmovik series).

I find it very hard to believe that something big isn't happening at BW right now. A huge game has being released (even flawed as it was), and there a lot of questions hanging. Their silence is becoming too loud to bear, if you excuse the wordplay.

If something is not happening behind the curtains, or if the company is not going through some major rearrangement, than I fear it's game over. Not just for ME, but for the company as a whole. It would only possibly mean that they really got completely out of touch with their customers (aka fans), and they are trying to let all this "die down" so they can come later as if nothing happened.

I'm trying not to believe that last possibility. It would really be too sad. Maybe we did provoke some worthy reaction. And not just an "explanation dlc".

You're inside the bubble. Pull yourself out. You sound like an entitled brat....

The public has already moved on and have sided with Bioware thanks to brilliant PR.

This supposed "silence" perceived by you only exists because you're way too invested and need some immediate perspective...

Step outside. Grab some sun.


$200 million does not lie. Checkmate.

This is very bad reasoning. No amount of money can erase what's done, and the silence regarding the games. Just make an exercise. Remember how much they talked about eralier games, and how much was talked between them and the customers; between them and press; between them through marketing. But hey, if sales prove quality to you, don't let me stop your fun. Just ignore me. You got your "end justify the means" excuse. I'll try to deal with more important issues, like doing right for people.

If you do get IL-2: 1946, be sure to visit http://www.mission4today.com and look for aircraft skins by "Goodwood" — who is, of course, me. ;)

Money = Perfection, according to MintyCool's logic.

Glad I'm outside the bubble you're in, MintyCool.

They never did explain why, lol. Probably so we could spend the entire game trying to take it back.... And then in the end, not be able to.

And with the citadel, considering no one listened to Shepard, and they were just as ill prepared as they were the first time around when Soveigrn attacked... Then why not attack it indeed. It was a good plan. Why give up after trying it once. Are the Reapers "Wile E. Coyote"?

Preach more in generalities....

If you have sufficient quantified evidence that Bioware was more proactive in the past please post it. Spreading conspiracies and false rumors helps no one. If I was to simply take your word I would be no better than a Christian believing in fairy tales....

Just because Retake has failed miserably does not give you the right to slander others.

Your right that it is foolish  for everyone to start waving the red flag over Edmonton, most people in this thread are not HC retakers, Retake helped increase media attention to the issue, that may or may not have impacted biowares decision to release the extended cut. whether it was planned before or after release is unkown at this point and we probably won't know until long after everyone has stoped caring (for better or for worse). I doubt the miserable failure of retake is going to personaly upset anyone in this thread, so please come up with a new insult appart from that one.


Besides, the object of retake was not to stop people from buying the game, it was to get bioware to make changes to the ending (the extent of which varies depending on your brand of retake), the more people who buy the game and are dissapointed can only be good news for retake anyway
