Okay, I don't think anyone's posted anything about this sort of thing yet, so I was wondering...
What are everyone's thoughts on a crafting system for DA3?
Should it be really in depth and essentially a minigame within the main game. Or should it be very basic and enough to just get by?

Crafting is bad in single player CRPGs, particularly story based ones. It's always boring, stupid or ludicrously overpowered, usually all three.
DA2's slightly more complicated version of shopping was OK.
I don't agree with this. Pretty much no matter the game if there's a crafting component, I tend to like it. Consolation prize if the game can only get me equipment modifications.
It was actually one of my favourite things in NWN2 (and I do like that game).

NWN2 was awesome, but its funny, I never could figure out the crafting system in that one. BG2 had an awesome crafting system, and I found DA2's system to be better than DAO's. NWN2's Castle system was awesome, even better than the one in DAO's Expansion, but it was great too of course. So I'd say model the Castle after NWN2, and the crafting on a combination of BG2 and DA2. Crafting is super fun when done right, and the more options the better.
I liked DA2's a lot more than DAOs as well. I think crafting is something we can greatly improve upon.
What was BG2's crafting again?
