Sadly yes. And the bigger problem than being sad it's over is that it may be 3+ years before we get another Dragon Age game.  I mean, probably not--they'll have some experience with the engine after DA:I, so maybe they can have it ready in another 2-3 years.  Then again, with at least one new IP on the horizon and a new ME game coming out by the end of next year (barring delays)... I think we should all just prepare ourselves for the wait.

 

In the foreseeable future, I've got the ME trilogy to get through before Andromeda, and that new Xenoblade game.  And I want to start over with Origins and play all the way through to DAI when things are done with.  Time passes faster than I would like sometimes, and I imagine it won't be long until we're looking at DA4 around the corner.  I think it's almost been three years since I finished Origins for the first time and started hanging out around here.  Time flies. 

 

(And I'm very curious about that new IP.)

I worry that some here are setting themselves up for disappointment.

 

Wouldn't be BSN without it

From the article:

 

one cannot truly "meet" the Qunari until one has visited their cities. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?!?!?

 

How did I not see this. HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS WHAT IF REAL NO MUST NOT THINK ABOUT IT...

 

But what if it is?

 

Cities...

 

CITIES

 

[thats1evildude]

Yeah, that's not going to happen.

Welcome to the next two weeks.

(Catch up post powers ACTIVATE!)

 

Now I'm confused what does Skyhold have to do with the Qunari? Are they capable of invading with such force that they reach Skyhold? Or do we just finally get to fix everything?

 

Spoiler

Or is it a Solas thing? Does Solas fix skyhold? Is that why the Qunari invade they wish to recruit him to fix all their ancient buildings?

Well there are a bunch of mysterious hints that there is more to Skyhold than meets the eye. Not to mention its the "place where the sky is held together" (or w/e) before we go there. I could understand that title after the Inquisition sets up shop, cus Breach-sealing, but before? I take that as an indication that its been significant in the past, maybe to the creation of the veil.

 

And definitely significant to ancient elves. See the chorus of the bard song, Once We Were, which says the ancient elves (I can't see who else that song is about if you read it) held the sky together:

Spoiler

We held the Fade
And the demon’s flight
So far from our children
And from our lives.

We held together
The fragile sky
To keep our way of life.

 

Add the fact we have a temperate, fall-themed garden in the open air in the middle of snowy mountains, an undercroft (or was it the jail? both?) that our masons note as meant to house something "large", among other oddities. Plus Solas being the one to lead us there... Yeah, mysteries galore around Skyhold that I'd LOVE to get some more insight on.

 

Spoiler

It'd be a real kicker if we've been on Fen'Harel's old temple grounds/personal residence this whole time. And we think Solas is gone when really he's just in some secret basement/room/Man Cave under the place, doing whatever. And his leading Leliana's scouts west before losing them was a ploy. lol

 

I know you're all super-hyped right now (Hell knows I'm too!), but I'd like to remind you those new bard songs are supposed to be about the Elves and Scout Harding...so it really looks like a lot for a single DLC 

I don't necessarily think the Qunari are attacking the Inquisition, but if they are, wouldn't it be epic if Harding stops an attempt on the Inquisitor's life and gets a song dedicated to her for it?

 

It happened with Citadel. (in that new locations, one permanent location, combat area, companion interaction..etc)  why can't the same thing happen with Inquisition?

I'm honestly half afraid Citadel was a flash in the pan. I mean, it had special circumstances. That wasn't just a DLC capstone to a game. It was a DLC capstone to three games, that took a year to be released, and also wanted to make up for the sour taste left in people's mouths due to the endings (and the lack of Thane friendship/romance content, which was the other major sin of that game, imo, [even tho I'm Shakarian for life, personally]). 

 

And Bioware delivered majorly. They brought their A-Game. But I do wonder if its too much to expect them to do it again?

 

I want something similar for Inquisition, but it hasn't been 12 months since launch, etc. There also isn't necessarily the impetus to appease fans that the ME team had, since DAI wasn't received nearly as badly. I want a Citadel-style DLC, as I've said many times. But I do think I'm gonna temper my enthusiasm (not my speculation, but my enthusiasm lol) b/c until they give us a 2nd Citadel, I think we can't legitimately consider that style of DLC a trend.

 

 

So...DLC with Qunari. Nice!

Spoiler

That is an awesome picture. I love it. Just missing [Redacted] looming hidden in the background in some capacity. lol

 

I'm wondering how big it could possibly be to only be priced at $15 USD.

I know I basically just said I was gonna try not to hold up Citadel as a model, but since we're all hoping the new DLC will be alike in content, just how much did Citadel cost at launch? I want to say $20, but I honestly don't remember.

 

I do think the price listed in the survey is low for what the survey seems to be promising. Nevermind what my imagination speculates the DLC could contain. lol I'd personally be more than happy to pay more than $15 if the content was bigger than JoH.

 

I would pay for a DLC which included a minigame wherein the Inquisitor used rocks lying around the hallways and grounds of Skyhold to repair the hallway in-between the war room and Josephine's office. I'd spend hours doing that. It could be like Tetris!

 

Or Wolf Hunt, whatever.

 

OooooooO I want to play Tetris with that wall too!

 

Er... doesn't a completed line of bricks in Tetris explode, though? >_>  

 

(Dagna "Rebuilds" Skyhold DLC confirmed?)

[dewayne31]

killing qunari where do i sign. Hey Maybe we overthroew Celene and claim a inqquistiion use her vast resources to fight

[Drasanil]

Then again, with at least one new IP on the horizon 

 

Wasn't the new IP being developed by the Austin studios... and wasn't also canned, hence why they had time to whip up the Descent DLC, or is there another other new IP that was also in the works?

I could be wrong, but I always simply assumed the song was about the current Inquisition.

[AlleluiaElizabeth]

I could be wrong, but I always simply assumed the song was about the current Inquisition.

I thought so too, intially, since you can first hear it in Haven. But, if you look at the verses, it talks about "once we sat in our kingdom" and "once we were in our homeland", etc. Those things don't really apply to the Inquisition. Unless you want to argue that each individual line applies to different people/groups, which I suppose you *can*. But I don't see how any of the people of modern Thedas "held together the fragile sky", at least not if that "fragile sky" is the veil.

 

And it does say "held", past tense. The Inquisition could be argued to be trying to hold the sky together now as they try to seal the Breach, but it certainly didn't do it in the past.

 

Also "Once we sat In the light of our dreams." sounds like a reference to the Fade/magic permeating everything, to me. We know that Arlathan was like that, but nothing since really has been.

 

I don't disagree that the emotion the song is conveying applies to the current inhabitants of Thedas. I just think that the story in the lyrics specifically is the ancient elves talking. Or perhaps modern/Dalish elves talking about what they've lost, if you want to get technical.

 

Full lyrics under the cut.

Verse 1

Once we were
In our peace with our lives assured.

Once we were
Not afraid of the dark.

 

Once we sat in our kingdom
With hope and pride.

Once we ran through
The fields with great strides.

 

Chorus

We held the Fade
And the demon’s flight
So far from our children
And from our lives.

 

We held together
The fragile sky
To keep our way of life.

 

Verse 2

Once we raised
Up our chalice in victory.

Once we sat
In the light of our dreams.

 

Once we were

In our homeland with strength and might.

Once we were
Not afraid of the night.

 

Chrous

We held the Fade
And the demon’s flight

And from our lives.

I saw it more of a motivational song for any given agent. So they used loose terms like "kingdom" because everyone was in their home before all the chaos started, running through the fields, with their children, not afraid, etc. As for the past tense, because I saw it as motivational, or simply for artistic license, it talks as if your victory is assured. Like "This is what we'll sing to our children" sort of thing. I don't know if that makes sense.

 

But your idea about elves makes a lot of sense, especially because of the "light of our dreams" part

Mass Effect 3: Citadel cost $15.

Austin was working on Shadow Realms what was cancelled most of their staff went to work on SWTOR's new expansion while the rest went to help DA:I and ME:A

Edmonton is/was working on DA:I DLC and the 'new IP'

 

 

I go to sleep and do some things and BioWare starts talking Qunari, well now.

 

Spoiler

 

I am not looking at the internet honest BioWare go ahead and tease more things!

I don’t think there’s any schedule but with the descent we got a lore drop every few days.

In the afternoon between 1-3ish EST i'd say.

[Kirasdream13]

Mass Effect 3: Citadel cost $15.

 

They must've overcharged me then; Leviathan and Omega were $15, but Citadel cost $20 (this was for PC; can't say for the consoles).  I remember since the forums were all up in arms screaming that it was an extra $5 but then post release they changed their minds quick.

 

That said, I would be more than happy to pay $20 or more for a Citadel like DLC for Inquisition (or more).

[SwobyJ]

2015 is the first time I have gotten....well actually I will probably have ended up adding 5 games to my library by the end of it.  Last time I bought a game before 2015 was probably when I picked up DA O and DA 2 in 2013.  

 

Edit: In regards to 'waiting' for the next DA game I can do it.  We have ME A, which should get several PTs out of it and I can easily forsee me getting three more PTs out of DA I if I have to.  

 

If the next DA game releases in 2017, I'm totally okay with that. 2018 would be annoying though (but just annoying). In terms of Bioware gaming for me (bolded are the priority):

2015 - DAI DLC (once its all released, playing all together), ME trilogy full setup (PC platform 'canon' isn't even done yet, I was on 360 before), SWTOR:KOTFE

2016 - Alternate ME trilogy playthroughs (up to 5 more, if I'm crazy about it), alternate DA series playthroughs (if I'm really bored), SWTOR:KOTFE and beyond, MEA release (unless pushed back)

2017 - MEA if pushed back and its DLC, DA series if I didn't do it earlier, maybe ME trilogy if I didn't do it earlier, SWTOR stuff

 

And this doesn't count the 'New IP' (could release 2017 for all we know, making a DA4 more likely for 2018, or vice versa), and those rumors of Star Wars stuffs(?), and whatever unannounced projects.

 

I'd actually really prefer for a non-2016 release for DA4. Partially because of the DA2-related concerns, and partially because I want almost all news (except maybe about the New IP) to be about Mass Effect then. 2017 though? Have at it, DA fans (even if it ends up amounting to teasers for a 2018 release).

 

 

I would prefer for there to be 2-3 more SP DAI DLCs (one this Fall, one this Winter), not that combined-DLC (at least it sounds like it) rumor. Ideally, I'd have liked one primarily about Qunari, one primarily about Val Royeaux, and one primarily about the Fade, but whatever Bioware has planned, is probably mostly set in stone now.

 

Apologies for overuse of ()s

[FFZero]

Well the beta patch thing has ended so I'm sad to say DAI is reaching the end of it's life cycle and it'll be a while before we see DA4.  I imagine BW’s release cycle is ME:A, new IP, DA4. They’ve moved a fair amount of DA’s writers over to the new IP so that will most likely go into full production once ME:A is out the door, granted it doesn’t get dropped between now and then.
