Do you have any dealbreakers when it comes to whether you will buy DA3 or not? For example, you won't buy DA3 if it has a silent/voiced protagonist or it does or does not have skills (such as stealing or coercion). I've only got two and they are multiple races and some way of knowing the lines the protagonist will say before choosing the dialogue.I am just curious since this is the first game from Bioware i have had such a list and i wonder if i am the only one having one.

About the only thing I could think of that would be a 'dealbreaker' to me would be a 100% forced protaganist (i.e. Geralt) But doesnt sound like they're going that way, so nothing I'll fret about.

[Sylvanpyxie]

Non stop auto dialogue.

[wsandista]

DA3 will be DA2 2.

[CarlSpackler]

Aside from patently ludicrous things (like turning DA3 into shooter/platorfmer hybrid) I'd say moving to a story with a fixed protagonist to such a degree that I had little to no choice in how my character behaved or how the story unfolded.

Or I suppose Bioware could construct a protagonist or story that offended me morally to such a degree that I refused to play the game.

But given their track record and what their aims appear to be I'd the chances of there being an obvious deal breaker on either front are quite low.

If DA3 is a dance game, I won't buy it.

Forced to play an protagonist already affiliated with a faction.
Having to play another human exclusively.
Having to sit though "TEMPLAR VS MAGES" the entire game.
What 'bout teh elves!?!?

[berelinde]

Protagonist with forced religious or political affiliation at the outset.

I don't mind being forced to *join* a partisan faction at some point after the prologue. This is a BioWare game after all, and one of their trademarks is that the protagonist will, at some point, have to work for a loathsome entity. But if they skip the step where you get to decide how your protagonist thinks and feels and where his or her allegiances lie, I'm done.

Same, and since that ain't gonna happen, no worries. Just let me preorder already.

Unless it features Ogres doing breakdancing, then I'd get it.

-If EA or Bioware has anything to do with the game.

Ok, I'll admit that was some blatant trollish hate there, but in reality my dealbreaking list dwarfs the list of things that would make me want to by the game, so I'll provide the shorter list.

-I want to play a Dalish again.
-The PC vice actor must be pretty damn good, if they do go for a voiced protagonist.

If the above conditions are met, and if I like what I see of the game when it is released, I may consider getting the ultimate/all DLC version eventually. That is very unlikely.

Mandatory Origin installation, no mod support, auto dialogue.

People I trust saying it's bad. A non-customizable player character. Other than that, I have no rigid requirements.

[Huntress]

1) Forced protagonist that will end up same as hawke or as bad as Shepard.
2) For the protagonist to "fit" it will ignore DA lore.. compleatly.
exemple: a mage inquisitor.. lol really?

Something like that will make me laugh my .**** off for sure.
Then I'll refer to the serie as a comic relief.

A MP that is like ME3... if they add MP make it like NWN, that would suit DA a lot more.

dumbed down inventory (Yes I'm the kind of girl who loves the invntory on Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights and the first Dragon Age... )

[eyesofastorm]

In order from most egregious to "might not be a dealbreaker if everything above it is cool":
1. Origin required for play
2. Emphasis on action rather than on tactics. Zoomed-out isometric view is key.
3. Restrictions on party control including leveling choice and gear.
4  Fixed protagonist.
5. Over the top, anime-type style.
6. Day 1 DLC at an expense above the cost of the game itself.  Charge me $70 for a complete copy of the game if you want, but don't hack off pieces and sell them back to me separately.  Respect me a little bit please.

The only thing that could make me not buy the game is male pc only.
I don't see that happening...
For the rest ,I'm sure there will be things that I won't like but not a dealbreaker.

[Rykn]

I have trust in the DA writers. They can tell a good tale and I want it. Like, now.

[Wulfram]

Fixed protagonist, action combat, MP that effects the main game or just sufficiently bad reviews might result in me buying after 5 years when I notice it's available for £5, but I'm basically certain to buy it eventually.

Day 1 companion DLC that costs extra is my preorder/buy on release dealbreaker, and the things I've mentioned probably would be too.

[Sylvanpyxie]

Mandatory Origin installation

Hmm, yeah... I'd forgotten about that.

This is the biggest deal breaker for me. I can deal with a lot of stuff, but i'm not about to put EA's Origin on my system for the sake of a Bioware game. I'd rather invest my time in indie adventure games from no-name companies.

[MoogleCoat]

As part of the camp that likes DA2, If they retcon or remove DA2 then I won't buy, otherwise I can put up with everything that's already been said.

If the leaks which are circulating about the main character being an Inquisitor (or a member of the Inquisition) are true, it sounds like they are forcing you to join a particular faction, which sounds very Chantry-like in its nature. Which would not only step on the toes of making you join a faction, but also influencing political/religous backgrounds of the starting character. And forcing Mage/Templar as the main thrust of the game. And almost guaranteeing that they peg us into a human only character.

After all, they wouldn't give the job of commanding spies against the enemies of the Inquisition to some random non-believer off the street. Nor would they let a non-human have a role of such power in a human religion. Its like the Dalish making a Dwarf their Keeper of the Clan - just wouldn't happen.

Again, if the leaks are true (and these rumors seems to swirling all over the internet now, not just on the BSN), then this game has a few deal breakers for you two, it seems.

Care to be more specific?

Edit: interesting read so far.

Yes, unfortunately. If the leaks are true.

Since 1998, I have spent over $700 on BioWare products. I'm including DLC and duplicate purchases to replace worn-out disks, but excluding gifts to friends. I'm not arrogant enough to think that anybody will miss me, but they may miss my money.
