This is a serious question.

Is it BioWare's intention that discovering the PC's personality is part of the gameplay experience?

Or is it BioWare's intention that a DA3 player will be able to design his character's personality himself, and then be able to (mostly) play that character in a manner that is consistent with that design?

Or is it BioWare's intention that a DA3 player will be able to choose only broadly what sort of character he is playing, with the details provided by BioWare?

Or is it BioWare's intention that a DA3 player will be able to choose only specific story details, with the PC's design being provided primarily by BioWare?


While I have been able to find ways to play and enjoy many BioWare games in the past, it's become clear to me that I've never really known how BioWare expected me to play.  Perhaps the QA guys would be the best-suited to answer this question, as they would need to know from what pespective to test the game's content.

I agree that it's also interesting for Obsidian to share that information.

The thing that gets me with Kickstarter is I am curious what will happen if/when projects are not able to ship all their features and/or meet their deadline. There's been a real rush of enthusiasm because it's a relatively new thing, but it's been interesting following some of the concerns that Schafer and company have at Double Fine with their documentary as they come across unexpected obstacles. (It's also cool seeing the enthusiasm restored when they are able to bypass said obstacle without significant time loss and so forth).

The problem with telling gamers that something may or may not be in the game is that plans change. Gamers get upset if the feature they want is cut becuase of resources, story or gameplay.

Just to note, I have already seen people state that BioWare has promised to have multiple races in DA4.  Which isn't what was stated.

What was stated and where per-chance? Someone mentioned one of the devs said something to that affect in a twitter post, but provided no source/link.

Mike Laidlaw stated in the Edmonton Comic Con panel that DA3 having a human-only companion shouldn't be taken as where the series would be going from now on-- that in DA4 we would be looking once again at hopefully including other playable races, including qunari.

Insofar as the OP goes, I consider the question disingenuous. It strikes me as more an attempt to get us to make a statement (with a leading question) so that our answer could be refuted, thus inviting the same sort of argument as in the recent thread I just locked. I think we've been pretty clear on our design goals, and I'm not sure our intentions matter much to most players as they'll play it in a variety of ways that suit themselves anyhow. If someone thinks we haven't been clear, it's either because we haven't said things that they like... or they need more specific information, which won't come until later. And that's as much as I'll contribute to the topic.
