Within the limits of what's actually plausible (for example, I wouldn't buy DA3 if it suddenly changed genre to RTS, but that isn't going to happen), I can't think of anything. I have enjoyed both DA games so far, I like the gameplay, the world and story, the writing and the characters... that's not to say I haven't had some issues with some aspects of the previous games (reused environments in DA2, shuffly combat in DAO) - but no deal breakers for a future purchase, that I can think of at the moment.Brohammed wrote...

Oh, I am sure there is something - however unlikely - that would be a deal breaker.
What ONE thing would cause you to not buy DA3?

there are many things that would make me not buy DA3.
mainly the absence of origins and races.
but an intrusive multiplayer would be a good reason too.

If it's exclusive to the next gen platforms because I don't own one (cause they ain't out yet) and won't buy one just for DA3. Honestly I think that will be the biggest and dumbest mistake they can make, making it exclusive to the next gen. I'd bet my left nut that it'd cut their quarter sales in half at least.

if it gets bad user reviews on metacritic overall. (i dont trust the press reviews) i would consider buying it when its discounted though.
Deal breaker for me is if marketing vs the actual game are lies! *cough DA2 cough* <_<

The awesome feature of "Origin-exclusive"
I would do exactly what I did with Mass Effect 3. Wait until it drops to 20-25 euros and then buy it. It cannot be worse than Dragon Age 2, so I believe it will be worthy of buying.

There are a few things that I could say are deal breakers for me, but the truth is I would cave in and buy it day 1. They got me hooked on DA atm, and it would take one heck of a screw up to run me off from buying it.

Origin-exclusive would be a significant turn-off, but there are plenty of ways around that. Same with day one DLC on the disk.
The only real deal-breaker for me would be the incredibly jerktastic (not to mention narratively sloppy) act of relegating important plot information to DLC. (Here's looking at you, Leviathan, Javik, and Extended Cut.)

For me it would have to be control of my character.
In DA2 i had no control on what Hawke said or any important choice in the game so i was basically a bystander.
Edit: There are more things but the above is the most important.

If all the noise about the Maya calendar and 2012 being the end of the world turns out to be true, then I probably won't be buying DA3.

To be honest, I will pick up this game on release, but if it has a day one dlc companion, especially one that has a significant narrative to be added to the game (such as DA2's Sebastion), I'll be sure to head over here to **** and moan about it.

Hawke had very little autodialogue in DA2. Certainly when compared to Shepard. And usually, you got to express a pretty wide range of opinions with Hawke.
Does this come back to the voiced protagonist thing? Because that's not going away, and we may as well just go with it.

No Iso camera.
Needs full party customisation on par with Origins.
Needs the return of skills, especially non combat ones.
These are all important to me and I will consider not buying if they aren't there but the real deal breaker is combat, if they decide to outsource the combat to a bunch of hyper active 11 year old boys again then it's a huge no.
People moan about the shuffle in Origins but it was still in DA2, it was just set at x8 speed and I never had my rogue in Origins chase an enemy down by cartwheeling across the room like I did in DA2.
DA2's combat is bloody moronic, if it's not changed then I wont even bargain bin the game.

If i have no idea what my character is going to say that means that i have no control, also if i have no real choice when something important is going to happen that also means that i have no control.

It is not a voice thing it has to do with how the dialogue is used in the game.
I play the Witcher games and Mass Effect games without any problems.
Sorry if i am disturbing the thread but if people ask me questions i have to reply.

Nothing will put me off buying and trying DA3 for myself. I have some reservations about aspects of the Dragon Age series so far, but I still enjoyed both games and the expansion. I'm looking forward to the next installment and will judge it for myself, not based on hearsay.
However, if DA3 includes an error of judgement as catastrophic as the ME3 ending, that would put me off buying DA4.

Somehow knowing what my character is going to say in full lines. Don't care if it is dialogue tree or holding a button while highlighting the paraphrase that shows the full line.

I think the DA team knows better. Andraste's asschaps, I HOPE they know better.
