The entire event at The Gold Saucer in Final Fantasy VII was incredible. But that whole sequence acted, as I mentioned as a brief reprieve from the overall tone of the ongoing storyline.

So like, a little bit of light heartedness to break up the monotomy of the more serious aspects of the game?

I wouldn't call the more serious aspects of the game monotonous. But otherwise, yes.

oh this sounds so fun!

I'm gonna be so disappointed when none of our ideas actually happen in the game LOL. Head cannon DA3 is so much more fun!

Oh I know! And I thought my pancake idea was so good lol, actually I'm really thinking we'll get some sort of party/celebration in DA3. One of the devs mentioned a ball, it might of been sarcastic but I'm still holding on to it 

I wonder if they had pancakes around back then? I hope we do get a masquerade ball, but it's been used a lot in games which makes me wondered if they'd abandon that idea. That's kinda where I got the festival idea from because it's not quite so widely used.

I didn't mean monotonous as in serious = boring, more the whole fighting everything aspect.

Fighting everything is monotonous? I like the fighting...

Didn't you get bored of the waves of indentical bad guys whenever you ran around Kirkwall at night?

That's different. Encounters in DAII were designed badly. In other games, I've never really gotten bored with it. Except when I was grinding combat for some particular achievement. But that is, also, a different kind of situation.

Ah, see I was thinking along the lines that DA3's combat will probably be similar to DA2. That being said, I enjoyed the combat in MotA, the final boss fight was very well done.

That sounds like quite a bit of fun - although I'd want a guarantee that macarons or other delicious cookies, desserts and/or sweets are available.

The whole golden saucer idea in FFVII was brilliant in my opinion. It was also a great place to so some no main story side questing.

But as I recall it was attached to the ongoing storyline. You had to meet up with the owner to progress the game in a sense.

Doing a festival in DA3 could be done in a simular way like TGS sequence in FFVII. Tying the red thread to an event that takes place and makes it fun in other ways then just following the main story line.

Yes! That's exactly what I'm getting at. It still fits in the game, as part of the story. But the tone is different. The feel I get from BioWare games is that humor is integrated at random points all the way through the game. Although I enjoy the humor, I'm not super fond of how it is implemented this way. I think breaking/switching the tone briefly for a particular section of the story helps to alleviate the tension but not permeate the entire atmosphere of the game at the same time.

Lol.And while you are trying to avoid the nibbledemon and his nibblelocks and nibblelings,you will have to carry in secret the Ring of the Nibblelungs,and cast it into the fire from whence it came.

hahaha then nibbledolf will come flying on his nibblegulls to come save you from the erupting fire of mount nibbledoom

And if you get hungry, you can eat them LOL.

Don't know if its proper to say this but the humor in DA2 to me felt that it was integrated in there by BW to snare at themselves. But I for one liked it; I took it as "we do not take ourselves to seriously". But I agree, it was there very plenty.

But that aside. Talking about non main quest related side quests here. What I liked about Dragon Quest was the casino addition to the game. Do not know if you know it. A casino is not the kind of thing that would fit in dragon age but something simular being set in some kind of medieval festival kind of thing going on in Val Royeaux could be made plausible. You could win some additional gear for example in a game/puzzle.

Legend of Dragoon had similar ways of doing that. In one town there was a festival going on in which you could participate in other little things but the festival itself was vital for the story to progress.

Admittedly there was a bit too much humour in places were there shouldn't have been any in DA2. In DA:O they struck a good balance but DA2 at times it felt as though it cheapened the more poignant scenes.
