I love the vague tweets. It makes me see people are working on my favorite game and having fun with it. Whoever the idiot was who complained about vague tweets ? STFU, some people like it !

Six months does sound quite a bit shorter than the marketing cycles for other Bioware games (which had up to a year, if not longer), but some actual content to show alongside dev comments might even be a better way to do it. It's fair to say DA2's marketing really didn't resonate with a lot of fans, and ME3 was plagued by some hyperbolic developer statements that didn't match what was later in the game.

(What does intrigue me, though, is the return to a holiday season launch date; both DAO and the first ME were November releases but all their sequels have been in January/February/March. Should we take it as a positive sign of EA's expectations for the game?)

I'd wager it has everything to do with the fact that right now we're not hearing anything about pretty much any games being released after second quarter of this year. Major multiplatform or console games that are coming out this year have all been slated for release up to the second quarter- games like BioShock Infinite, Tomb Raider, GTA 5, Crysis 3, Dead Space 3. There has to be a reason why we're not hearing much of anything about any other game releases slated for later this year, when we normally would have by now.

Its more than likely due to the fact that come June and E3 (if not earlier at GDC or PAX East) the industry will be in full on hype mode for the nextgen consoles likely coming late this year. And thats when DA3 will get a full push from marketing.

I guess we might get some inkling of new DA news come February 1st with EA's quarterly conference call, if we haven't heard anything before then.

Or perhaps even late february since Microsoft and Sony both have conferences in Feb Sony's is supposed to be pretty big this year and seems like a good tip for a reveal or atleast a small announcement perhaps once thats out of the way we'll hear more about DA3.

Ah, I'd forgotten about the earnings call. 

It does seem unusual that they haven't so much as released a trailer for the next game, the developers' (understandable) desire to show rather than tell aside. There have been a lot of rumours about which consoles DA3 will be released on, and if it is slated for the next-gen ones that could explain the truncated marketing time.

(Presumably EA has an NDA on information related to any new consolse that may or may not exist, it might be that they're choosing - or required - to stay silent about major titles until Microsoft or Sony officially announce the platforms.)

Mike Laidlaw 1/7:

"We'll go into details on importing and the like later, but we will be making sure imports have impact. "

very cool!

[smallwhippet]

^ ^ Yay! That is very good news.

[daft inquisitor]

Ooh, that is a delicious little tidbit.

Looks like they're learning from the ME complaints after all, and I love them for it.

If they wanted to make all 4 races playable why not do it with Inquisition? It's not like they would need 4 different voices for each sex(and I'm not sure why people always think they would). And playing as an Inquisitor doesn't scream "humans only, dwarves and elves need not apply" to me. It seems like they heard the complaints about DA2 but decided to ignore them.

[Commander Kurt]

Um.. Probably nothing to worry about, you guys seem reasonable for sure, but I just hope that people don't read too much into the statement regarding imports. It's still a hassle to get it working properly..

Also, yay. Hype! I have faith, I do. I just seem to have forgot where I left it... :-p

[Reofeir]

Yay

lmao! yeah, i hate it when i misplace my faith. it's prolly somewhere w/my car keys; some missing socks; my sense of purpose and occasionally my dignity...tsk.

[Herky]

wasn't it confirmed that we would play a human main character?
I'm thinking that he's talking about the rumoured multiplayer part when he says that he wants more races playable

I think he may have meant DA4. Although, if there is an MP, I could see their being more races.

You guys have probably seen this already from that World of Thedas book preview, but just in case you haven't:




I lightened it up a bit so you can all see everything clearly.

Did anyone else notice that the guy in the picture appears to be wearing the same amour as the male and female protagonist concept art from the leaked survey?

Mmm.. I already looked in the frigde (found the TV Guide, but no dice on the faith).

Dignity, you say? Such an interesting concept..

[Commander Kurt]

Well, regarding the armour, apparently the book contains info on all three games.

I need that book.

[ElitePinecone]

That art is gorgeous.

Also, yes, it does look pretty likely that those two figures in the concept art were representations of the Inquisitor - the same figure(s?) have been in a bunch of environmental concept art we've seen.

People keep mentioning this freakin' leaked survey. Where can I find info on it??

[Commander Kurt]

This is what Chris Priestly had to say about the survey btw;

Chris Priestly wrote...

No, we don't need to share false & expired info. It only propegates incorrect information being passed on about the game.

Seeing as the cat is pretty much out of the bag, zip code and country by now, I don't see what harm it does. Just remember that the ideas presented are really old.
