Bioware already lost me as a fan. DA3 is their last chance to make any money off me. However...
I am waiting for fan reviews & spoilers to come out before I even consider buying this game. They already have had 3 strikes to lose me (DA2, TOR, ME3)-- if this game doesn't turn out to be completely amazing, I will just forget the entire company.

Dragon Age is a very different series from Mass Effect. I don't think it's possible for Inquisition to disappoint on the same level as Mass Effect 3 because Dragon Age doesn't have a single character and story that has been built-up over the course of three games that they can bring crashing down on us at the end. Even if Inquisition has a terrible ending, it won't sting nearly as badly as the ME3 ending did.

What if the Old God Baby shows up and says that the Darkspawn are his solution to Mages? So now you must choose to kill all mages or turn everyone into part darkspawn.
What was so spectacularly disappointing in ME3 wasn't just that it ruined a storyline, but in some ways it ruined the setting. This is something that DA3 can do, however I've heard little to suggest it. They liked to brag for ME3 about how everything came together and they could do whatever since it's the end of a trilogy. The only "worrying" thing indicated so far along these is the Morrigan speech about bringing the world to an end or whatever as a choice.
Still, there are lots of different style offensive things they can do in their game. It'll kind of depend on why you're here, why you care about the franchise. Myself, I like choice, and in the last three major titles from the brand, there has been some prettty glaring out of character denials of choice that made me want to flip a table. Does even have to be an ending. If the game has a Gault moment, I doubt I would even be able to finish it.

99% of ME3 was awesome and while the ending was a pretty big flaw to me, it doesn't entirely negate the rest of it.
I also liked DA2 on the whole, though there were some flaws in it. Bioware still makes the best games, hands down. I have yet to find another game company that comes close.
The biggest problem with ME3's ending is that, at the very last second of the game, without precedence or appreciable justification, the final choice must be made on the bad guy's terms.voice_of_darkness wrote...
I think one of the main problems with ME3's ending was that it essentially rendered your entire choices in the past games pointless. It didn't matter if you were a raging psychopath who murdered everyone in sight or a saint who was the best person in the universe, your ending didn't change as long as you had EMS.

Shepard literally fails at his mission. He flops down in front of a console that appears to do nothing having accomplished nothing himself. And it's only by the benevolence of the villain that any progress is made, and then it only does so with conditions the villain imposes.
Shepard is changed from the protagonist who acts on his terms to a tool.
Also inexplicable space magic and a setting destroying dark age.
DAI could easily do this very same thing. But I trust Gaider slightly more than that. Only "slightly" because DA2's third act has Hawke himself turn into a tool that merely follows the will of others and fails to accomplish anything of note. Benefit of the doubt that it was a rushed production. But that doesn't deny the possibility of problems with DA3's end.

If you dropped the series, why do you care?
Curiosity. Is it a crime to wonder how loyal Bioware fans will be after two bombshells?
How come noone mentions what Me3 did best? Me3 really did outshine previous Me2 is many aspects: Emotions, interactions, combat and consequences in the game itself.Taleroth wrote...

Because I personally have to disagree with you on most of that. The combat is among the worst in the franchise, with no real tactical tradeoffs, just spamming a handful of all-use powers and guns. And the title's boss fights really are the worst the studio has ever produced.ioannisdenton wrote...

Yes, because I don't care about the Starchild, or whatever whiny fans are raging about.
