I have to say this why are we looking for reasons to hate it when we know very little about it

Not going to win people over with this one, but I'd be disappointed if DAI was overly tactical. I want tactics, but I am more keen on letting the companions just do whatever was pre-set for them. I don't pause the game every millisecond to set up tactics in combat. Yuck. No thank you. Keep that option for hard/nightmare/challenging mode, cool. But keep the option for those of us who just want to let the fight play out autonomously so we can watch, and then move on with the story.

I was annoyed at how in DAO if you played on higher difficulties you had to bring up the tactical option every few seconds.

Congrats you have discovered the right answer in our experiment, have a cookie.

But yeah being disappointed in advance of a release is a bit pointless, though some points that have been made are valid. Maybe what you'd like to see is more reasonable to ask.

I'm going to say it....

I would be disapointed if the game was a bad, unfun, 1fps lagfest, with F quality voice acting(yes there are things worse than B movie acting), nonsensical storyline.

That is what it would take to "disappoint" me. You know the kind of reaction where, you think it would have been more productive to you know burn the money in a fire insted of wasting it on making a game. You know near the level of "Aliens: Colonial marines" sort of quality.

as for people complaining about the tactical part. Well its a Realtime tactical RPG. think final fantays tatics only not turn based and real time. Thats the kind of game it is. Or better yet, Fallout

So your complaining about the core game mechanic of the game... sort of funny really... don't like having to do that, play on easy.

There are only two things I can think of:

1) If gay romances were removed.

2) If Orson Scott Card was involved in the future of Bioware in any way. I was very disappointed when I learned that they'd commissioned him to write a comic series for the setting, and if I thought my money was going to be funding him or anyone like him, that would be the end of Bioware for me.

Those are the only two things I can conceive of that would affect my enjoyment of the game in any significant way, and either one would cause me to stop buying Bioware games.

Orson Scott Card is one of the most talented Science Fiction writers of our time (the Enders series is amazing) it would be awesome if he were to have some input on the storylines. Honestly, he is a considerably better writer than DG.


Quite frankly, I would love it if some other authors were allowed to get their hands on the IP. I am generally disappointed in the writing to this point.

I don't give a **** about his talent.

Action-RPGs are a dime a dozen, so it would be sad if Dragon Age 3 was just another one of those.

Also I don't think there's anything wrong with autodialogue as long as it's seamless, which is how I thought it was in Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age 2. Sometimes we just say things to move a conversation along and there's no choice involved. They went way way overboard with the autodialogue in Mass Effect 3 though, and it was absolute terrible. In an RPG the game should never decide what the player character thinks, feels and believes. That really should be up to the player as much as possible.

I don't understand this. Orson Scott Card wrote Ender's Game. That is quite possibly the greatest sci-fi novel of all time. Only Dune comes to my mind as something that can top it. I wish they would bring in more authors. Patrick Rothfuss, Tad Williams, Steven James, JK Rowling, James Patterson just to name a few. I am not sure if there is some viewpoint he has that you don't agree with, but he has a right to his opinion and you do to yours. You have to respect the man's talent. Orson is a fantastic author.

You're not sure if he has some viewpoint I disagree with? Do you know anything about the man at all? Try spending five minutes with Wikipedia.

I don't have to respect dick. I don't care if his writing cures cancer, I've never read any of Card's work and I never will.

What? It was easy enough even on nightmare to play real-time. There were some tough fights like first ogre or last boss on steroids in Golems of Amgarrak, but overall game was really easy.

Orson Scott Card is am immensely Conservative man whose political convictions lead him to oppose homosexuality. So what? Bioware is a Progressive company that rather openly supports any and all forms of sexuality.

Guess what? Tolerance means accepting that other people can have diametrically opposed opinions to yours and still have the decency to accept one another exist and even work together.

Politics aside he is one of the best Science Fiction authors of the last fifty years (I would argue only Herbert is superior) and his style would mesh immensely well for a First Person Mage/Templar POV story. I think that would be awesome.

I do not boycott Bioware games because I am a Conservative and they are a Progressive company and I personally think people boycotting Ender's Game because they disagree with the author's politics is somewhat juvenile.

Back OT:
Less Tactical Combat? Please no.

So long as you set a Tactic for NPCs to use Health Potions at <50% Health you never had to open the Tactical Screen again, even on Nightmare mode. With an Arcane Warrior Blood Mage or a Force-Blood Mage you could solo most baddies in both games.

I miss the days when Nightmare difficulty mode meant frantic pausing, shifting to NPCs to manage talents, and actually putting effort into strategy and tactics to make it through.

Enders Game is overrated.

  HERESY! 

EDIT:

One need not subsidize OSC in order to read his work; borrow it from a friend or pick it up from a local library. Purchase a used copy from Amazon or Ebay for $3.00.
 
It is a solid piece of fiction and recognized as one of the best Sci-Fi novels in history.
 
Considering that the narrative has absolutely nothing to do with his politics or viewpoints on sexual orientation, refusing to even countenance reading the book because you dislike the political position of the author is somewhat irrational to me.
Given Plaintiff's standard I should boycott every single movie made after 1959.

It's an excellent sci-fi book. But Orson Card's religious and political views are controversial to say the least, he also shoves them into his every book. So no.

Where pray tell do you find OSC's opinions on homosexuality in Ender's Game?
 
Commentary on Cold War era geopolitics? Sure. Sexual politics? Yeah, no.

[Fortlowe]

I've read it. I read a lot. It's a decent book, but overrated, imo.

Not to drag this any more OT than it already is, but I'm ordering a copy of the comic just because someone decided to use this thread to rail against Card. I find such hypocricy amusing enough to reward that way.

So I'm a homosexual and I'd sooner hammer nails through my dick than pick up a Card book. It's the same reason I don't eat at Chik-Fil-A, or give support of any kind to any homophobic company.

Bioware is a Progressive company that rather openly supports any and all forms of sexuality.

A company that supports alternate sexualities would not fund a disgusting bigot like Orson Scott Card. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they might have been unaware of what a festering assboil he is. I won't be so charitable a second time. 

Guess what? Tolerance means accepting that other people can have diametrically opposed opinions to yours and still have the decency to accept one another exist and even work together.

Card does not display tolerance to homosexuals, he does not deserve tolerance from them. Anyone who tells me to be 'tolerant" of a man who regards me as subhuman and diseased can go **** themselves with a cactus.

Politics aside he is one of the best Science Fiction authors of the last fifty years (I would argue only Herbert is superior) and his style would mesh immensely well for a First Person Mage/Templar POV story. I think that would be awesome.

His style would mesh even better with toilet paper.

Yes, how dare I refuse to give monetary funding to a man who seeks to prevent me from obtaining equal rights, and strip me of the ones I already possess.

You don't actually know the definition of hypocrisy.

You also can't spell hypocrisy.

[IceHawk-181]

We get it Plaintiff, you hate OSC with the same level of vitriol you say makes OSC a reprehensible individual. Moving on...

[SafetyShattered]

I'm being optimistic, after all i liked DA2 more then most people. But i definately wouldn't buy it again knowing what i do about it now, so i guess i'm worried that it might be too similar to DA2( glitches, recycled environments every 5 seconds etc.)
