Expecting? the word would be hoping for 2 more not one thanks to it only being out a year which these days isn't very long. perhaps they should have spread the first two out a bit more if they're only doing 1 more. But meh, I can still wish the game would have lasted longer then a year, nothing wrong with that.

 

Actually a years worth of DLC is kind of the norm. The games that get supported for longer are either multiplayer focused or are purely being supported through largely cosmetic DLC, not story orientated DLC that feature multiple characters.  Take heart though that this next DLC sounds like it's going to be massive and hopefully well worth the wait.

How many DLCs are you expecting? Most Bioware games recently have had three major packs.

I totally expect the next DLC to be the last one, it's nearly a year since Inquisition launched.

I think it's less expecting and more hoping XD

[Avejajed]

If the next DLC is centered around the Qunari and Solas then it's most likely post ending 

 

The Qunari invasion just seem so out of place with a "Solas"  DLC. 

 

Spoiler

...unless the Qunari invade and Solas comes back on his white horse to save his beloved Revas from the clutches of the evil Qunari and instead once he gets there the love of his life has already done away with all the Qunari because she doesn't need a man to save her but now that he's there he's got some 'splanin to do.

@user: @Mike_Laidlaw out of curiosity, what does a creative director do? I envision a throne from which you rule the writers & artists...

Mike Laidlaw@Mike_Laidlaw: @user I lead the gameplay and storytelling teams. My counterparts are Technical (programming, etc) and Art (art, anim, cinematics)

@user: @Mike_Laidlaw Ah! Do you get a throne from which to oversee the writers?

Mike Laidlaw@Mike_Laidlaw: @user Lord, no. If you watch them work for too long, you go incurably mad.

@user: @Mike_Laidlaw Also does this mean you are ultimately to blame for the part of The Descent that finally made me sniffly after so much DAI?

Mike Laidlaw@Mike_Laidlaw: @user If the Internet is to be believed I am responsible for virtually anything and everything.

@user: @Mike_Laidlaw Also I must be out of touch with fandom, last time I got near tumblr we were still blaming David Gaider

MikeLaidlaw@Mike_Laidlaw: @user He does take his share of blame, absolutely. The danger of being known.

@user: @Mike_Laidlaw last random question, I swear: do you ever feel slightly smug and gleeful that you know all the things fans yearn to know?

Mike Laidlaw@Mike_Laidlaw: @user No. It’s a responsibility to keep that stuff straight and deliver it well. Smug creators are too in love with their own stuff.

 

Have I ever mentioned how I him?

 

Sorry I'll stop triple posting. Total accident.

Just make the next DLC the last one. Then they can start working on the next game if they haven't already...

I'm pretty sure that DA4 is in pre-development.

[Avejajed]

Yeah I'd rather them focus on 4 too and make this the last one. I don't want to have to wait 5 years for the next one. I'm getting old.

We may have to wait that long though depending on when this new IP is coming out and which studio it’s being developed by. If the new IP were to mainly be developed by either Montreal or Austin then I suppose we could get DA4 within the next 2-3 years or so.

Yeah. Won't be 2015 obviously, very likely (hopefully?) not 2016, but 2017-2018 possible, 2018-2019 more likely.

We know the new IP is being developed by Edmonton, but by a separate team. Edmonton has two teams, the DA team and the former ME team. ME got handed off to Montreal, so the new IP shouldn't slow down DA4's development any more than ME slowed down dragon age before.

@User: @Mike_Laidlaw Solas's voice in The Descent doesn't sound right, did someone else voice certain lines in the DLC for him? Driving me insane!

Mike Laidlaw@Mike_Laidlaw: @User Nope.

@User: What was with that strong sense of Imperialism in the Descent DLC? @PatrickWeekes
Am I missing something?

Patrick Weekes@PatrickWeekes: @User Like... Orlesian Imperialism? Tevinter? Or do you mean intruding into someone else's land?

@user: @PatrickWeekes @User Yeah. We killed a lot of folks. :\

Patrick Weekes@PatrickWeekes: @user @User Fair point! Intention was them killing someone w/o even trying to talk made them bad enough to be okay fighting.

Patrick Weekes@PatrickWeekes: @user @User And also, earthquakes threatening countless lives.

Patrick Weekes@PatrickWeekes: @user @User But if it came off as imperialist, well, that's something we will try to do better on in the future.

@User: @PatrickWeekes @user that last tweet was sarcastic. But it did indeed feel extremely hostile and like I was a colony or something.

Patrick Weekes@PatrickWeekes: @User @user Fair! We were hoping the intro cutscene would sell them as not just dangerous but alien and hostile.

@User: @PatrickWeekes @user anyway thanks for listening to my semi rant. i appreciate it.

Patrick Weekes@PatrickWeekes: @User @user Hey, like I said, it's a totally valid viewpoint we hadn't considered, and we will try harder next time.

[Elhanan]

Spoiler

Don't know if I understood the included lore, but the new Dwarves also silence their tongues, so discussion is pretty much off the table. This could hamper diplomacy.

It should be required for folks to remove shoulder chips before using social media....

*snickers* Seriously?

The enemies are hostile on sight. They try to kill us. They succeed in killing Renn.

 

What's next? #Sha-BrytolLivesMatter?

I thought his voice sounded a bit off. Maybe he was sick on the one day they needed to record the few lines.

Spoiler

They were dangerous, alien, and hostile.  They struck without warning, refused attempts to parlay, and seemed more golem than dwarf.

[Silith]

I kind of get where the user was coming from but eh, I don't think "imperialist" is be the correct term to describe

Spoiler

a 6 men/women/elf/dwarf/qunari party fighting against a couple dwarves... Maybe user doesn't really know what imperialist means?

Also, they attacked first! I really liked Renn a lot, couldn't believe they actually killed him off. I appreciated the feelsuh tho', finally some emotions!

BTW I thought the Sha-Brytol thing as a whole was kind of tragic, there is an epilogue codex entry by Valta where she describes their behaviour a bit. Sad.

I don't know if "imperialist" is the correct term, but I definitely felt a bit weird about it. 

Spoiler

We were intruding onto their domain, and as far as they knew, the only things that probably came at them like that were Darkspawn.  Honestly, I kept expecting for them to finally give up and try talking to me, like the werewolves in Origins.   That's what RPGs are for, right?  Talking to the monsters?  I seem to recall that one of the codexes from the end put this to rest for me a little, describing their corruption and society as something pretty unpleasant, but still...  we found a third living society of dwarves, and all we can do is murder them.

[Avejajed]

Well you cant talk it out if you're dead.
