there is still some hope that DA3 might be good in spite of their insistence of spoon feeding us how the characters and their armor should look like to keep them true to their class


I know I'm in the minority here, but I actually liked Dragon Age 2. Not as much as any of the Mass Effects or Origins, but I thought it was still a pretty good game.

Isabella could have done with some pants, Anders could have kept most of his personality, the environment was a little too small, and the delivery of the ending left something to be desired, but I enjoyed it. The characters were great (some even better some Origins followers), the sidequests were generally good, the new direction of visual design was absolutely fantastic, and the main story was awesome, despite the ending. I feel like a lot of the good things in DA2 are simply overlooked.

Something that I felt dragged DA:O down was the lack of image a lot of the characters had, and the permanent squaddie armor helped that quite a bit, even if it was implemented a little too restrictively.

I hope that, if Bioware survives to make DA3, they find a nice balance between the unbridled story (with lacking gameplay) and overstreamlined gameplay (with lacking story execution).

Of course, it appears that DA:O and DA2 suffer from extreme versions of the same issues present in ME1 and ME2. And that the hope of striking a balance is very similar to the hopes many people had for ME3. Hopefully such a similarity will not persist between DA3 and ME3 after release.

Then again, I've been doing a lot of hoping lately...

Making sure the Extended cut DLC is good.


If it's great, the majority of the Mass Effect fanbase will remain intact

DA2 polarizing? lol no :) It was utter and complete ****... nothing polarizing about it. It had *one* ending. 
ME3 attempted to do 16 but got rushed. The additional epilogues they're doing does have the potential of creating 100's of endings. Tuchanka alone has 5-6 scenarios that could happen depending on if you had Wreave or Wrex etc. If they add that sort of variation.



That was me suger coating it.  You aren't going to get any argument on DA2 from me.   You would have thought after DA2 they would have been sure not to blotch their gem, the Mass Effect series.   Yet they did.

Even with the Extended Cut do you think your going to get 100s of endings?  I would be shocked if it was more than a PR move with a few cutscenes and some DA:O style epilogue slides.

This.

Heck they could improve the combat system's flow a bit more too while at it. The combat wasn't quite right for either of the games for me.

But then again, a lot of RTS fans seem to enjoy it, so I'm propably in minority. :lol:

Well C&C: Generals 2 is underway by one of their studios. The Dragon Age team is presumably working away on the 3rd installment. So that leaves it to the Mass Effect crew (Edmonton iirc) to be the most likely to be doing a new game in future. Once this year is over with though, what with all the single and multiplayer content they have planned for ME3.


Just to clarify, the Dragon Age team is based out of the Edmonton studio as well.

if they called it Dragon Age: Awakening Expansion Pack
I would have agree with you although still disappointed by no real choices, since you pretty much get to kill the same people and do the same things no matter what side you are on.

But the problem is that they tryed to pass it for a Full Game calling it Dragon Age 2

Hopefully starting in the next few seconds they're scrambling to fix the numerous issues that the patch and the DLC caused.

I'm REALLY close to just completely giving up on them alltogether.

I liked both DA:O and DA:2, and ME2 as well as *most* of ME3 (that's a different topic) and I'm looking forward to whatever Bioware plans for the future. I'd love another DA release or two.

Hawke couldn't even die in the end. That sucked. Hawke was an a**. At least if my Warden was, they could always be fed to a dragon.

My best guess is that they´ll do another Mass Effect or rather a game set in that universe called Mass (something).
I wouldn´t be suprised if it´s an entirely new trilogy with a new main character, new story, etc... set a couple hundred years in the future, with the stuff you did in the original ME trilogy being history. Much like they did with DA2.

No matter what Bioware does, I´m looking forward to it anyway. They´re like a sibling I´m constantly fighting, but who I still love.

 Dragon Age 2 may have been lesser than DA: O, but it hardly destroyed the universe or elicited such outrage that no one will buy the next game. 

I disagree, Dragon Age II left me with no desire to play the next installment.


Exactly. I cannot understand why this ****storm havent happen after DA2 release. ME3 even with this ending broke much less promises ans is so much better.

There will be another Mass effect. What you need to realize is EA is pulling a lot of the strings now and they'll want to milk the franchise until it's very last. So yeah, you'll see more Mass Effect, just like you saw more Halo after Halo 3 and more Pirates of the Caribbean after Stranger Tides. This is how the entertainment business works and Mass Effect is no exception.


There was a leak on internet - "Mass Shift". I am afraid it may be released without "f".

Because we invested more time and emotions in the ME trilogy and ME3 ending was the epilogue of it all... while DA2 was only the second installment and many dismissed it as a mishap from BW and failed to see it as a sign of (EA) things to come....

They actually apparently are, they understood the 3 major complaints:  Decisions that Matters, Stop Reusing Levels, Equipment for Followers.

Although on the third aspect they will not allow full control to wear what we want but they will force us to stay true to your class

More lies? They know exactly what to promise. I am not sure they will deliver.

Have to be 900 years in the future or Liara will still be around and I don't want to see an old Liara and the voice acting would be funky.
