I'm hyped because I loved DAO and DA2, and as such, it's a reasonable guess that I'm going to love Inquisition as well. Having to wait until late 2014 is agony, let me tell you.

If you're not already hyped about it, I doubt anyone can convince you to just feel differently. No amount of talking is going to make me suddenly be exited about soccer.

I never touched DA:2 and I'm gonna be missing a lot of extra lore they had put in, but I don't really give a sod.

You actually miss nothing that cannot be seen via youtube video. The lore is mostly irrelevant in DA2, most of it  didn't make it into the game.

This. Mountains of it. Think Scarface, but 10x that amount.

I'm not, I have just about zero faith in Bioware I just pray the game's good. My love for Origins will make me buy this game.

[Heimdall]

Get hyped after each major info release. Then I simmer down for awhile until the next one.

I loved DAO and I LOVED DA2. DAI looks promising. I don't expect to like every tiny little thing they do with it, but I am 95% confident that I will love 95% of the game. I have never been disapointed by a Bioware game, even if some have had quite a few blatant flaws. My overall gaming experience has been good or great.

It seems silly to say that DA2 completely and utterly destroyed all the ~magic~ of the series (and even whine about the interface which I personally find more intuitive than the DAO version). I mean, holy hyperbole Batman!

And being ~bothered~ that other people are excited about the game is absolutely LOLLERS. God forbid someone be excited by a franchise they enjoyed just because you personally hated DA2 like it was some kind of cheating lover who forever soured you on future relationships. Get a grip.

Edit: ME3's ridiculous ending (and ALL the other stupid **** in that game) is a much more disapointing denouement than anything done is DA2 in my personal opinion, and seemed to be that way among the forum as well, from what I personally witnessed, yet you're carrying that flag. Kind of bonkers to rag on DA2 when there's still that whole mess of a game.

This, but for the most part I liked ME3.

DA2 was "alright", whereas most of Bioware's titles have been good or awesome - it also had the misfortune of being a sequel to one of the ones I rank as "awesome" - DAO.
I think one of the mistakes that they've made with DA2 was that no matter what you do, you always fail in the end - which undermined the whole heroic "Champion of Kirkwall" feel that they advertised so much.

The game starts with the loss of a sibling, no big deal - it's a classic in all kinds of entertainment.
Then it continues the tradition by killing off your other sibling in the Deep Roads, unless you were lucky enough to bring along Anders - or you are one of those people that always plays with a walkthrough on hand.
Or you listen to mommy dearest, in which case you lose them in a different way.

No matter what you do with the Arishok, eventually it comes down to bloodshed.
All the mages you save from the Templars eventually wind up killed or recaptured, and the one that was looking out for those kids and that you could donate money to, turns into an abomination you have to kill.
Anders pulls a fast one on you and blows up the Chantry. Isabela also plays you for a fool for a large part of the game, pretending to be ignorant while she knows why the Qunari are refusing to leave.

Saemus, the Viscount's son always ends up dead - no matter what you do, followed not that long afterwards by his father.
Meredith becomes more and more unstable over time, all thanks to the red lyrium statue that Hawke's indirectly responsible for when another "companion" (or rather one's brother) pulled another fast one on Hawke.
When you side with Orsino he still decides to go all full fledged abomination and have you to put him down - followed by Meredith.

Every game needs setbacks, but I think they went a little overboard with them on DA2 and made them outright failures with companions and NPCs playing Hawke for a fool left and right - hardly the stuff heroes are made of.
And then there were the "gameplay" failures, like the recycled areas to further subtract from the game.
I liked ME3 for most of it as well, though my signature should be enough to show what I thought of the endings. 


Edit: Knew I forgot something, Hawke's mother is also a case that no matter what you do, it always ends up in tragedy.
Which was a real shame considering they went out of their way to give you different ways to track down the killer.
There's also the ending; where in a best case scenario Hawke gets to be Viscount for a decade before mysteriously vanishing - or he gets to run and hide before mysteriously vanishing (along with the Warden).

DA2 is a game that has a plot that focuses on social injustice's that you cant do anything about, I think they take some themes from our own world (racism,sexism, prejudice) and subliminally try to create a thought process about such issues. For me it wasnt a bad game but it certainly wasnt a great one.

[DialupGeneral]

I don't feel the need to be hyped to enjoy a game. By accepting that old Bioware is dead I was able to enjoy Mass Effect 3 and parts of Dragon Age 2. Nü Bioware is focused more on 'awesomeness' over the in depth character studies and world building of past. I like sirloin steak but I also love cheeseburgers. Just keep expectations in check.

I'm just going to say 'Well, *duh* to most of your 'railroaded' complaints about DA2, since, you know at the START of the game that you were playing through HISTORY, so certain things had to be 'set in stone' unless you have a time machine or time teleporting mage and can back and change history."


But as to the OP:
I'm eagerly anticipating DA:I. Already know I will be preordering for the PC (please, release the system requirements Bioware so I know if I need to upgrade).

I loved DA:O, I credit it with being THE game that got me into video gaming. I also loved DA:2....it had it's flaws, but so did DA:O. And the DLC for DA:2 really showed that Bioware was aware of the issues that DA:2 had.

Loved ME with it's flaws and cumbersomness.....loved ME2 (I was screaming at the screen the first time I played through at the start thinking "What did I do wrong?!?!? Why did my Shep die????"), thought ME3 was ok with flashes of brilliance right up until the ending.....(I think the game-news and even Bioware's response to fan outrage soured me more on the game than the ending itself)

I've absolutely loved what I've seen so far re DA:I. I'm also looking forward to the book.

Simply put, even with the flaws, Bioware makes the types of games I want to play. Story and character driven narratives.

[Swoopdogg]

Because I'm not dealing with a mental disorder.

Kidding!

Idk. These games are just something I love. I love the story, yes even DA2's. I've always loved these games, and I always play at least like 10 playthroughs. The more footage, screenshots, info, etc. I see, the more I just can't wait. It's just a series that's always been close to my heart. I had fond memories of playing DA:O, and while DA2 wasn't as enjoyable for me, it was still a Dragon Age experience. I am nothing short of excited for DA:I.

You know,
all this excitement about DA III is kind of bothering me, as I gave up on the series after DA II. And it is not that I would NOT like to be hyped -- it's exactly the opposite -- but I just CAN'T get back into the world, I'm just stuck at the point in which even replaying DA:O or reading a DA book or comic makes so, so, so little sense that it's almost pointless, and I loved that game before DA II came in and ruined it -- everything about it -- for me. The same goes for my gf, who was truly dedicated fan of DA:O (and it was the ONLY game she ever played, as she despises them generally, not to mention that she is not fond of fantasy overall; so that means something.) So, I dunno, HELP ME, how can you be so excited about it? Cause I can't and can't and can't and the more screenshots and trailers and details surface the more afraid I am I'm not going to buy this game : / cause seriously, I know it was discussed over and over again, but the second installment really did kill all the magic, it really, really, really, really, really did, it ENDED it, simply put. (Even the menus in this game were so horrible, gawd.)

Cause  i  know even if it doesn't fully  live up to what i want will still be a great game as all the games they make have been. And IDK boredom i guess no other games to wait on but this and witcher  3.

There are not a lot of games like Dragon Age where you can customize your character which represents you in the game and making decisions that have important implications in the game. At least, not in the medieval setting. I also like the aspect of being able to play as a non-straight character. That allows me to feel included. While that may not be the deciding factor, it creates a great incentive for me to pick up the game. I think that there are nothing we can do about how the game may turn out, so it is mostly just speculation at this point. I'm always hyped when it comes to Bioware games though even back in the Baldur's Gate era. They may have made some mistakes along the way, but Bioware is still one of the top developers out there for me.
