^Yeah. Things that would ruin the game for me? Being anything like DA2.

Off the top of my head: Mindless hack-and-slash combat, unlikable one-note companions, constant recycling of environments, waves and waves of enemies, over the top anime style combat animations, characters having no motivation to do the stuff they're doing, a meandering nonsensical plot, companions getting ridiculous sick-nasty action introductions, choices always leading to the same outcome, stylized over realistic art direction, and a bunch of other things that have been talked to death.

• If it's exactly like DA2 with none of the fans' input implemented (I know the Bioware team stated they have listened to the fans and are working on this very thing)
• An ending that's all rainbows and butterflies or too much "black and white". I like being an anti-hero.
• If multiplayer is a huge part of the plot. I don't always have access to wifi, so if multiplayer is something you can't avoid then I'm screwed.

If I don't like it, I'll keep it. Unless it has unavoidable multiplayer and I can't even beat it.. Then I'll probably give it to a friend..

I liked both games for what they were. No, they weren't perfect, but then I've never seen a game that didn't have some flaws, and of course the flaws seem to be remembered by some, more than the good parts.

[The Six Path of Pain]

If they use virtually the same combat that was in DA2,if the protagonist is as disappointing as Hawke,and if the choices in the game are as non existent as they were in DA2.Then I guess I'm done with Bioware games,since I have no interest in ME4...I hope this isn't the case though.I love the whole Dragon Age world and Mythos but the sequel was a really really big let down for me

What would ruin it for me?

Multiplayer effecting the single player campaign

Yeah this too

If Inquisition is awful then I'll know that BioWare is no longer capable of making good games so I will likely never buy any of their titles again. After being very let down by DA][ and TOR and being infuriated by ME3 I'm looking at Inquisition as BioWare's make-or-break title.

[Andraste_Reborn]

If DA3 is awful, I will feel sad and move on to another game. I might complain about whatever it was I hated on the boards once or twice, or mention it if it came up in conversation. (I know from experience how I'd react to a bad BioWare game, since I hated the original Neverwinter Nights campaign.) I don't think it would put me off future BioWare games if they seemed more my style - I came back after NWN, after all, and even enjoyed the expansions quite a bit.

As for what would ruin the game - well, most of the things that could potentially spoil it for me are things that we already know aren't going to happen. One of the things I hated about the NWN base campaign was only having one henchman instead of a fully-controllable party, and we already know DA3 is going to give you a bunch of companions again.

The other thing that would ruin in for me is bad writing, and given that I've loved the writing in the previous two DA games and the team is substantially the same as before, I don't think that's going to be a problem for me. Give me some quality banter and I'm happy.

Or they could remove the pause function. Or it could be a console exclusive. Or a first-person shooter. But none of those things seem terribly likely.

[Ketten]

I doubt it would be terrible. But I've been a long die-hard fan of BioWare for years. (Heck my dream job is to work for them someday.) So I probably won't stop playing any future games they release. I'll probably be disappointed, but meh.

What would really ruin it for me would be like others said, multiplayer pushing its way into single-player, and having an ending that doesn't clearly wrap up the story, that is, unless they plan to continue the character arch. Honestly, I'm just more bummed out that once again, the protagonist is human and only human. I liked variety. :/

"What Would Ruin DA3 For You?"
3 colored ending and spacebrat in the end. Apperently you can't go any further to ruin the series more.

Are people still hung up over this? It's been more than a year now. Time to let it go I think...

IKR? It's like Bioware murdered their parents and spawned a whole legion of crotchety batmen whose soul purpose in this world is to pout at the word "ending."


That being said multiplayer effecting the sp game(in a "I can't progress or get a specific ending" kind of way not a "BUT I REALLY WANTED THAT ARMOR " kind of way) and any kind of permanent online thing would be as close as I come to a complete dealbreaker.

Which really isnt that close. I'd probably still play it. Albeit very, very bitterly.

[BioFan (Official)]

It seems like they are fixing all the major issues. BUT the only area of trouble I'm seeing so far is that they've said they are spending more time on exploration. If the game gets to be more like skyrim than Dragon age, i think i'll cry.

[RPC_RPC]

If they continue the path of dumbing down their games ME->ME2->ME3 or DA:O->DA2.

Also, dumb side quests (ME3) and idiotic endings (DA2,ME3) would be deal breakes for me. I don't really care about the companions or romances, etc. as long as the gameplay deep enough.

If it sucks? well, I won't buy it. I'll wait for the reviews and "let's plays" before buying. Given the current trend of BW games, not holding my breath....

Dear Lord! please Bioware no more fetch quests like ME3.

The only thing that would stop me from playing a Bioware game is if it's turn based, there is nothing I hate more than turn based game play.

All of what you said, SIr.

Things on top of that are giant boobs, skimpy clothes and giant swords that are twice the size of the character. DA2 looked like it was made with the imagination of a 9 year old boy. 

What also ruined DA2 was the lack of mod support. There were a couple hacked up mods, but without a creator kit, the life of DA2 was sevearly shorted compared to some awesome mods for Origins. However, with the Frosbite 3 engine, I doubt it will allow for mods either. Hope they change that.

Lastly - off the top of my head - I want expansions, not these single mission DLC's. And there better not be any day one DLC with a bunch of stripped out content. But, it is EA, so that is almost gurenteed.

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

You know having giant boobs is not unrealistic.

[CrystaJ]

I will get more than a little annoyed if your companions and NPCs completely ignore the fact that you're an insane blood mage, if you choose to be one.

I will be irate if Hawke's story isn't resolved in some shape or form. He doesn't necessarily need to appear, but I wanna know what happened to him.

Inconsistent writing.

Character derailment.

But I'm not worried, tbh.

[UnderlAlDyingSun]

It's not even a question IF it's going to be awful. Its really a question of how terrible it will be.

It'll probably get 2 out of 5 considering the first two are literally the worst f**king first person shooters I've ever played...which is still two stars more than it'll deserve.

I DARE YOU TO DISAGREE

For me, if the ultimate solution to the Mage vs. Templar issue is to merge everyone and make everyone a Mage, or sever everyone's connection to the Fade, thus removing magic forever; I would not care for the campaign too much. I don't think it would be anything that would make me hate Bioware, but I would be disappointed if such an ending did happen, because ; for me; it wouldn't be dragon age anymore. 

That would be like DA Synthesis option. Nightmare inducing option, I might add... 

More on OP topic:
- forced mulitplayer
- forced companions 
- forced changes (or ignoring) of my imported decisions.

Long-time lurker, first-time poster here. I felt I had to chime in to express my concerns over something which often gets overlooked, but which has the potential to completely ruin my experience.

Accents. Hours upon hours of overdone Orlesian voices. The girl in the Denerim market who had to leave Orlais because of the incident with the chevalier, for instance. That was woeful.

If its set in Orlais, and the player is foreign, then the player presumably ought to be interacting with the world in accented Orlesian. To have the world interact with the player in accented, non-native dialogue would tell me something about the characters that might not correspond to whats actually happening in the story, which I (perhaps pedantically) feel is an immersion breaker. I get that it's supposed to be "something more French", but that shouldn't mean we should have terrible accents inflicted upon us for hours.

Whatever Orlesian actually sounds like, I'm hoping the game will be voiced in a way which allows us to maintain the belief that the majority of the characters are speaking their first language.

(Apologies if this issue has been raised somewhere else...)

Love the optimism, and I thought I was a pessimist.

[Plaintiff]

If DA3 is awful, I'll turn into an insufferable twit who abuses Bioware staff in the forums, and accuse anyone who claims to enjoy DA3 in any respect of being blind, mentally deficient "sheeple".

I will declare myself the voice of the "true fans", and demand that Bioware staff listen only to me. I will insist that purchasing their games gives me the right to dictate the creative direction and business practices of Bioware and EA.

[Sylvius the Mad]

It would depend on how it was awful. If DA3 rests on what I think are fundamentally terrible design decisions, and BioWare is unrepentant about those decisions, and insists they will continue to use them indefinitely, I'd probably stop playing BioWare games.

If, however, they make what I think are good design decisions, but the game fails for reasons of implementation, or because they tried something else new that just doesn't work (regardless of whether that thing was a good idea), that's far less damning, and I likely wouldn't abandon them over it.

[puppy maclove]

It cant be worse than DA2.... can it?
