Please abandon the whole save import concept. DA3 should be its own game.

I believe one of the reasons why DAO was good, is because it was initially meant to be a stand alone, and the story is unshackled. 

As a result there are more options given to the players, because it does not have to worry about presevering narrative continuity with previous and  future games.

I believe DA3 should be more like DAO when it comes to decisions.

I would rather have the decisions made DURING DA3 have a more pronounced effect, rather than decisions made during previous games have a trivial effecs and cute cameos.

Now, some are probably wondering? Can't we have pronounced repurcussions of our choices for both past and present decision?

No, we can not. This because games have strict development cycles and they need to meet release dates.

So, I'm asking you to abandon importing saves. You are just wasting precious resources. I'm asking to make a choice and adopt DA3 as a stand alone game mindset.

Dragon Age was never meant to be a trilogy like Mass Effect, please don't bother. It does not have Shepard to die several diffent games together.

Marketing might force you to shoehorn to attract more potential buyers, but let them know there are people like me who realize that it will only make the game worse.

Please, do the right thing.

Then they are poor programmers indeed. If your previous game can read a savefile, than you have a working library for reading those kinds of savefiles. Doesn't take a genius to export and import a library. A first-year computer scientist can do that...


Just to be clear, you are saying that all we would need to do for save import is to copy-pasta the code from the previous game into the new game that dealt with reading and parsing the save files?

Bioware should make the story work better with the import feature.


I certainly see it as an interesting and fun challenge!
