After ME3, will you play Dragon Age 3 at release?

If I do purchase it, I would only do it through the secondary market. However, if this situation is resolved in a professional manner and the company shows that they do value me as a customer, the business relationship can continue.

Me3 didn't help but I see them as two seperate things, Me3 was overall a good game, but it had one pretty majoy issue and we all know what that was.
Da2's issue wasn't the ending (although that was far from satisfying), it felt half finnished, cut and paste dungeons, odd inventory system (what was the point in the "junk" items? it felt like there should have been "collect x of an item quests associated with them") and for me without wanting to open a massive big can of worms, characters like Fenris, who felt like a massive love letter to Cloud Stryfe, fine for a NPC perhaps a nice easter egg, but not a squad mate. The shift in general style from traditional western d&d/tolkien inspired fantasy into hybrid JRPG territory, basically while I did end up having some fun with Da2, it wasn't good enough to make me think "i must pre-order the next one".
Had me3 100% lived up to my expectations then my inner bioware fanboy would have probably made me forget al the issues I had with Da2 and get ready to pre order the super duper collectors mega edition, but it didn't sadly.
Its not just Biowares fault, I still feel the disapointment of Fable 3, so there just seems to be a general trend of modern versions of games I love not turning out that well.
I think in future i'll look to things like Witcher 2 and Amalur, that seem to be getting the sort of feedback I want to hear AFTER release for my RPG fix, and things bioware make will be no different, if they turn out well, i'll buy them.

Fortunately the ME3 ending war has also shown me that game reviewers cannot be trusted and should not be taken seriously, so I won't be swayed by those reviews either, I'll have to check the game out for myself before deciding whether or not to buy it....

EA just wants you to be a dumb/gullible consumers. At least this whole ME3 ending issue has made a lot of us smarter, more skeptical consumers. EA must hate that.
yep EA. You have awaken the beast. And it is full of nerd rage.

However, I won't buy DA3 on release because of DA2.

This has been the case since DA2, but i'll be waiting for comunity reviews, and if its the same quality as Da2 I'll wait for the price to inevitably drop.

Have you played through ME3 more than once? Cause after the first time, especially once you get past the different resolutions to Tuchanka, it really starts to feel cut and dry and rushed.

Dragon Age 2 was lackluster, but by itself, I wouldn't be compelled to avoid DA3.
Even without DA2, however (let's just say that is was DA:O only so far), I would not feel comfortable buying DA3 until months after release with rave reviews thanks to ME3.
I think ME3 has hurt initial DA3 sales. Adding DA2, I predict a dismal release (but I'm no market analyst).
Sad because ME3 isn't a bad game. The ending just overshadows it so much that I lose focus on the rest.
Will you be an early adopter to DA3?
Would you go as far as getting pre-order and/or collector editions?
Well, DA:A, DA2 and ME3 speaks for themselves, so... no. I won't buy another Bioware game-/dlc ever again. I really enjoyed ME1-2, but the third game killed everything.. DA is one of my favourite rpgs in all time, the third game will probably give us choices such as:
1. RED; Destroy the Black City-/Golden City-/The Maker and all Darkspawn, at same time cause that all magics are null and void. (kinda like the Spellplague in d&d)
2. GREEN; Merge with the Maker-/Darkspawns..
3. BLUE; Control the Darkspawns by becoming The Architect.

I have not, tried, got about 10 mins in and couldn't face any more.
I'm playing Fable 1 at the moment, its made me remember why I love games. Perhaps a sad reflection on modern games in general that I had to go back nearly 10 years to do that.
Don't get me wrong, the SP campaign had its issues (quest screen not updating progress was a massive pain, far too much repetative "fetching" and such) but I still had a lot of fun for the majority of it.

But... I wasn't going to get it since DA2. So, no blaming ME3 on this one.

DA:O was such a great game, and my fingers are crossed that DA3 will recapture some of that glory.
Mass Effect doesn't come into this decision at all for me
