Anything more specific about what you'd look for from multiplayer?

If multiplayer is included, which I don't really have a problem with, please don't make it necessary to play to get a certain ending (good or bad).


IMO, for the record I'm 99.9999% sure that the ME3 issue wasn't actually intended (not that that excuses it. It sucks and I do sympathize) and is actually a bug.

Regardless, I do know for a fact that it's something we're very aware of on the DA team and we understand that it was frustrating for fans. If any sort of multiplayer does manifest, I would be very surprised if it had a tie back into the single player experience.

No offense, but I simply can't trust that.  Not anfter being promised that fro ME3 (and I was very skeptical even then)

As such any multiplayer in DA3=no buy for me.

Regretfully  :(


ME3 actually made a different statement than I did.  But fair enough.


EDIT:  I guess just to be explicitly clear:

I cannot guarantee that it could never happen.

I will say that at the very least, I have raised this as an issue and argued that is that it's something we should not do.

Your call. If this is something you feel is important for you to do then I encourage you to do it.

Like ME 3 MP, but with swords and spells instead of guns and powers.


Your level of specificity remains unparalleled!! :D

dunno about you guys but...how the heck do you make a multiplayer game with no pvp?? is the flop known as me 3 not enough for bioware to leearn a lesson from??


Are you suggesting that ME3's multiplayer is a flop, and the reason that it is is because of the lack of PvP?

Wow, I've never seen a mod jump so quickly onto a question from a forum member. Chance of DA 3 getting actual multiplayer has increased.


It's as much a symptom of me already being on the forum and seeing the post when it was made.

I do check out most threads when I have the time to scour the forums.

That's oddly suspicious, Allan.

It's like those business conspiracies for scheming money out of people. Ever notice how the solution to a problem is always the last thing they try?


I know!  Why didn't they just do that first!!!

Skelter could have phrased his question better, but lets not get too personal.


In essence though, the 90% number is what you have concluded. I imagine the reviewing and observing you did was general internet discussion, whether it was on BSN or elsewhere?

Two games I thought that had very interesting co-op modes were Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and No One Lives Forever 2.

In both cases you played as agents that kind of played an ancillary role to the main character of the single player. So you got to visit places that Cate Archer did but were on clean up, or you got to play through a mission in Chaos Theory where you're retrieving the intel that Lambert needs for Fisher.

Stuff like that made those co-op modes a ton of fun.

Was that the first Splinter Cell that introduced the Mercs vs. Agents? My god, I loved that. Thought it was a incredibly innovative MP. The game basically had two completely different playstyles. Agents were for those careful, stealthy players in third-person and Mercs were for FPS twitch gamers. It was really cool how when you played as one or the other, they operated completely different. I liked running around as Mercs, it made me feel like Predator with all those different vision scans looking for agents. But nothing was more satisfying than running around as a Agent and outwitting your opponents with guns, while all you could do is distort their electronics and knock them out.


THat was the adversarial mode introduced in Pandora Tomorrow (the second one), and yes it was amaze-balls too.

Chaos Theory had specific co-op missions against AI with some neat mechanics and plots that related to Fisher's main campaign. I also loved how using the in game voice chat made a noise for your character, which could be heard by characters in game.

To be fair, 100% of my ME3 MP experience has been with actual friends. I know there were a couple groups of people that would stick around after work and play for an hour together, or play during lunch and so forth.

Random dropin and match making are services I don't actually use.
