There seems to be some high horse riders in this thread.

I loved the game so you can't criticise it! Leave Bioware alone! *tears*

Lol, and the people who hate ME3 never tell its fans that they're stupid and wrong for liking it.


Sure. But that is equally stupid. In this specific thread the presence of Biolovers has been strong. Most likely because a lot of people with the opposite opinion has left the board since there are no new games to talk about.

DA:I is not the ending to a trilogy, it is a standalone game. Therefore it can never be the disaster many felt the ME3 ending was. Since the warden and Hawke's stories have both finished it would be hard for Inquisition to invalidate them the way ME3 did the Mass Effect trilogy.

I largely agree with EJ107 here: it's not the end of a continuous story that is advertised with big consequences to all choices and countless characters with their own fanbase. It's not likely to end in such a flamewar.

Only thing I am certain about is that it's not going to be a Dragon Age with an overly positive reputation that satisfied every fan of the series. DAO and DA2 have very different qualities and each fanbase wants to get their own interests through for DAI, interests you just can't combine. No matter what BioWare does: with their current standing they are going to ****** off a lot of people.

DA3 was awesome until the last 10 minutes. DA2 was lacking compared to its predecessor but was still better than most other rpgs out that year. I believe in DAI:.

If the rest of the game is great, then no. The problem with ME3 is that the rest of the game is like cheese... it's nice, but has holes in it.

I've yet to play a bad Bioware game. I've yet to play a mediocre Bioware game.

I don't expect that to change, regardless of others' wailing and gnashing of teeth.

This.

So. Very. Much. This.

Thank you. I think this is the first time I've walked into a thread on this topic where someone's posted my sentiments before the thread made me sick. Will you accept a hug? Maybe a handshake?

What if DA:I is mostly great until the last ten minutes? I'd be sad at having a terrible ending, but I'd be pretty happy that the rest of the game is mostly excellent.

I do hope DAI is good so that the franchise can continue. There is no need for it to be trilogy. I hate that trend.

What if DA:I makes Origins look like a puppet show? What if I get eaten by a bear before release time? What if Ganders and the Arishonk had baby geese and dive bomb the staff until they change the dragons to have beaks? What if purple?

I haven't read the thread nor do I see any need to do so. It's far too early for doom-crying.

i Think that its a possibility that DAi will become a ME3, however we must keep an open mind and not judge the game Beforehand.

but if they are going to use most things from DA2 and use it as a yardstick for DAI then i Think that it will be an ME3 disaster.

I'm not pre-ordering it, because I can't be positive but I really do think DA I will be good. And I'll pick it up as soon as I'm sure it's a game I want to play. Different people are involved and since each game is a separate one I don't think they have gotten tired of the world they made.

I won't buy it if all of the endings are the same and suck.  But that's just me.

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And to bed! And then to bed!

I doubt they would do a crazy ending. if they did though I would be done because I couldn't stand another bout of depression from a game. also they are two different teams (they share some people but overall they are different) and I am sorry but there is no way they would be that dumb

:happy:  Could go for this ending.  Final battle ends and after a brief good by, good luck, keep in touch, I stand alone or with LI (in the games they survive) and  see everyone left  leaving for home either alone or in small groups.    

And, even if that isn't what Tolkien meant (because I'm really bad at symbolism),   I liked the way DAO ended.  One mage went back to the circle,  Ms. Cousland married Alistair and co-ruled, someone else had him marry the Queen but was the real power, one went off with Zev knowing Alistair would do a good job of ruling with Anora.  Good stuff.

That's exactly what he meant.  It's a poem (well, one verse in a poem) about a long, hard journey and then returning to the safety and comfort of home afterwards Image IPB

Is it strange that I would rather the majority of the game be mediocre but the ending be fantastic than have the majority of the game be brilliant but then have an awful ending?

I guess endings are just important to me because that's what the game/movie/book leaves you with, and the emotions you come away with at the end of something are what sticks with you.

It's why I always associated Mass Effect 2 with hope and suspense, and why what I mostly associate with the Mass Effect trilogy now is disappointment and confusion.

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?


They were bombs to you but not to me. I enjoyed Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3 in fact I have yet to play to BioWare game that I didn't like.


This is how I feel. I have been disappointed in one or two Bioware games in the past, but I was not let down overall by ME3 or DA2. Which is why I still hang out here at the forums hoping for a smidge of info on DAI. I don't really get this"hang in' on to the hate! Grrr!" thing. It's just a game for crap's sake.

Agree. There are things in all of BioWare games that I've played that I didn't like or were disapponited with? Yeah, but the positives outweighed the negatives for me to enjoy the games as a fun past time. I don't know if feels like there some people out there who treating these games as something akin as a religious experince.

Seeing as how I wasn't in the "Bioware betrayed me" camp, I doubt it will affect me much.

As for bioware, we'll see. Sales will speak much louder than any blog post when it comes to empirically judging whether the endings were bad or not.

I'm expecting a good and fun game with a blended of gameplay genres, decent story and plot, choices, diverse characters, and a little cheese and drama thrown in the mix, not the next game a song of ice and fire, or some great earth shaking tome of rpg-ness. '

Like to think it's much more reasonable to do it this way, and to also avoid pre-release media to keep from falling for the hype and looking like a fool when getting mad over it.

DAf franchise would be over, Gaider would be gone, some Bioware employees would lose their jobs and the remaing ones in Edmonton would probably be assigned some star wars related ip to work on.


The same way Mac lost his job after Mass Effect 3?

Even if DA:I flops, all the "professional" gaming sites(that phrase makes me laugh so much, like those idiots go to school to review games so their opinion is better than everyone elses) will gave it a great review, and that's all that matters.  Even if the playerbase dislikes the game, it doesn't matter because the game is bought by those players, pleasing the customer doesn't exist anymore.

I'm hoping it will be like Mass Effect 2: reviled by a small group of conservatives, but hailed as superior to its predecessor by the vast majority.

DA2 was about on par with ME1 in awfulness, so I'm hoping DAI will be another ''hit'' rather than a ''miss''.
