*Pleas note I posted this before the anouncement of multiple races, but my initial point still stands. If we have multiplayer I would like to play as something other than humans or dwarves, or elves.

I highly doubt this is going to be the case considering the assets involved. Yes ME 3 allowed for it, but the genre is so different that the MP missions made sense. We have no clue how MP might be implemented. I would hope that if it is, that it is not just a match along the lines of ME3 MP. It'd be nice for it to have some depth.

On that note, I have no problem with MP as long as it does the following: DOES NOT have anything to do with the single player experience. Has its own assets and dev team (which I expect it will). Other than that I honestly don't care.

A man can dream though, a man can dream.

Would never dream (g) of stopping you.

I would like some depth to a potential MP as well, but IMO, only having 3 races (4 if Qunari are playable) is too bland, especially since each one is essentially a human with one distingishing feature; short, usally bearded, pointy ears, and horns.

Plus if depth = story, the only way I could see that happening is if we get a co-op campaign. True one could go for a MP campaign, like SWTOR's Flashpoint system, but those got really old and repetitive after the second play through, even moreso because the Flashpoint was only (at most) an hour long. Once people complete the MP campaign, there wouldn't really be (IMO) an incentive to go back to it, unlike the ME 3 'horde mode' system. Obviously the ME 3 MP was shallow (in terms of story), but it did lend itself well to being able to be replayed.

I can see DA:I allowing for multiple non-human races simply due to the structure of the SP narrative; the Inquisitor needs to raise an army, and will undobtably have to go to unconventinal sources. The Warden was able to recruit Werewolves, and Golems, so I can see things like that cropping up in DA:I. 

My only comment on this is I remember how much of a pain in the butt it was for the DAO team to actually get a model for Shale that could fit through doors, and thus the model didn't match the golems for size in game. If it's a co-op campaign or something of the like I don't see it happening for that specific problem, because there's going to be some type of need to distinguish between two players. Plus we all know how us gamers love to customize so basic unchangable models wouldn't work.

Honestly, I would like to see a co-op or something like it with a good story that say parallels the main story but is separate.

I can get behind a co-op campaign if only for the fact that it would bring MP to DA, but unless the co-op story is as long and detailed as the SP campaign, I don't see it getting much replayability. Don't get me wrong, I love playing a story alongside my friends, but it has been my experience that unless the co-op campaign was drop-in/drop-out of the main story, we only played it once. 

IMO, MP should add to the life of the game, make players play it longer; same reason that having multiple races for SP will increase DA:I's replayablity. I personally don't see a seperate campaign really adding as much replayability as a DA 'horde mode' would. 

I'm with you on the customization, I really hope that the level of depth that SP has in terms of customization would make it into MP. But I am an even bigger fan of differening gameplay mechanics (I just like asymetriacal gameplay); in an ideal world players could customize their werewolf or golem to their hearts content, but really I would be perfectlly fine with having an unchangable model if it ment that I could get a unique form of gamplay out of it.

Let the human, dwarf, and elf players get the customization depth that we have in SP, but give the non-human charaters unique game mechanics.

Short answer? (*Bleep*) No. Keep this resource and development draining garbage out of my RPG. It was one of the things which ruined ME3 (I don't care how "successful" certain publishers claim it was...) and all it does is take from the characters, story, and content that could go into the core game. It's a pointless nickle and dime mechanic for the kind of series Dragon Age is.

I disagree, I would like to have more options to enjoy DA:I, but different strokes for different folks.

Also I wouldn't say MP would be a drain on resouces if money was specifically supplied to add it to the game. If a person pays a construction crew X amount of dollars to build a house, and then pays them X amount to add a garage it is not draining the initial resouces presented for the construction of the house. Sure some will say that "Money spent on MP could be used to improve SP" but not if the money was given for the express purpose of adding MP.

If the person paying for the construction says that they want a garage added to the house being built, but the construction crew says no they want to use the garage money to further improve the house, then the person paying for everything will say no and withdraw the money supplied for the garage.

That's just how I see it anyways.

[TheInquisitor]

Against.

[Iakus]

I'd just like to reiterate my "Kill it with fire!" stance on multiplayer.

What sheer and utter clap trap.

[xnode]

give me the popular 3-5 player co-op survival mode (waves and waves of enemies) and earn gear, xp for unique mode abilities and I will love it longer Think survival Warhammer inquisition (yeah funny same name almost )

Oh and sense the devs seem to have read my old thread, bring in a cool seige mode kk thnx!

Strongly against any form of mp -including co-op. It was wrong for ME3 and it will be wrong for DA:I.

...however considering how happy BW seems to be about the reception of ME3s mp mode, I'm quite pessimistic about DA:I :-/

Yeah, more horde mode.

I'd be down for that.

[Tennyochan]

I would love a co-op option for SP campaign; like BG style.
Basically your partner(s) take up a party slot and you play the SP campaign. (I hope they integrate hosting/setting up co-op easier though. Or finding a game by lvl/class/story point. They would also need to figure out the maximum number of players for story purposes)

Don't know about MP/horde mode and how that would work...

[Fufunette]

I support MP for DAI if it's as fun as ME3 multi. ^^

[SofaJockey]

I don't see how resurrecting this year-old poll is helping.

[Ryzaki]

Yeah what.

 

I was so confused when I saw the poll link. Why rez this?

[Rawgrim]

Against it IF it affects the SP.

[salzgurken]

As long as it doesn't affect the SP i'm fine. Galactic Readiness hurt me more than the endings.

Sweet holy necrotopic

[simpatikool]

PRO Support all the way!

[Trinityangel666]

Eventhough I thought ME3 multiplayer was decent; I dont think DA:I needs multiplayer. Its happening so we can't change anything. But I dont think publishers need to stick MP on every friggin game. I didn't even play ME3 mp that much, maybe about 6 times. The only RPG's I played mp in were MMORPG's like SWTOR.

[cronshaw]

Sweet holy necrotopic

and a closed poll

Winner!

[Deflagratio]

Tough call on Support or Oppose.

 

I definitely agree with people who say that a good Single Player game doesn't need multiplayer to be a success.

 

But I also believe Multiplayer can enhance an experience, even a Single-player one. And I also believe that of all the BioWare franchises fit for a Multiplayer mode, Dragon Age has been the one.

[RogueState]

I'm all for a MP element to DA:I. I really enjoyed the ME3 MP and if this is similar then I shall look forward to exploring it.

[ev76]

I support the multiplayer!! This game will take all of my gaming time for a very long time! Lol doubt I will be buying another game for a while.
