How can that be a fear? Is someone compelling you to read these forums?

Good point from Maria actually. I hope DA:I is amazing and BSN gives kudos to Bioware for making an amazing game with the least amount of narrative inconsitencies since ME1 and DA:O... Oh yeah, In my dreams. I should armor up my laptop for launch and prepare for battle.

I enjoy the forums, I enjoy the community. But sometimes coming to the forums is like attempting to swipe honey from a swarm of angry bees. It might be worth it, but you will suffer.

Leave for at least a month after playing DAI, consider it a holiday from BSN sponsored by the Inquisition.

At this point I feel like I could tolerate damn near anything
EXCEPT
"I can smell/taste your fear!"

Demons used that line a f***ton of times in DAO, and I hear it enough times already from everywhere else. It's like every single game wants the enemies to say it at least once. Stop telling me I'm supposed to be afraid, especially if you are going to use the most ANNOYINGLY CLICHÉD lines one could ever write!

My greatest fear is that it will not be able to displease enough forumites.

I'm afraid that the dialogue/dialogue choices and companion interactions will be severely "streamlined" to appeal to an audience that doesn't like "story games" like ME3 was.

What was it in DAO's and DA2's companion and general dialogue you didn't like?

Also, as I see it, both DAO and DA2 were as story-focused as ME3. They just weren't as blatant in their characterization preferences for the protagonist - you could almost say there weren't any at all - and the writers didn't sacrifice world and character integrity in order to hammer their sacrifice theme home. I'd say both games told their stories better than ME3 in the end.

You misunderstand me, ME3 is what I DON'T want. I love the characters and interactions in DA:O and even DA2 was leagues better in that aspect than ME3.

Then why are you saying you're afraid DAI will appeal to an audience that *doesn't* like ME3? You are of that group who doesn't like the way ME3 did things, and you want DAI to appeal to you, right?

What is it you don't understand? He's saying he doesn't want DA:I to "appeal to an audience who doesn't like story-games like ME3 did", hereby he implies ME3 catered to gamers who weren't as interested in storytelling because ME3 had streamlined a lot of its "story mechanics" to be more action-focused, thus focusing more on bringing in players who play the game for the combat and setpiece hollywood garbage alone. I know a lot of people who thought ME2 had too much small-talk and they wanted it to be more like CoD or Gears. They gave not a **** about the story.

He doesn't want DA:I to be all about combat and cutscenes instead of combat and interactive dialogue.

Sorry for doublepost. <_<

Exactly

That when the game comes out, a large part ot the DA:I forum will go up in flames. It always seems to happen with every new game when critics think the game wasn't what they wanted.

Always the best part of a bioware release. The venom on this site is potent and strong.

I hope they don't do anything with the (MY) warden.

Stop showing fear, then. They can clearly smell you when you do!

I get the feeling that the Inquisitor will die at the end no matter what... just a hunch. Aside from that, I'm worried about the companions and LIs... whether I'll like them or not, etc. The former would bother me far more than the latter, but neither are deal breakers.

I can't think of much that would totally ruin the game for me, though... DA2's quest with Hawke's mom is kind of hard to top.

[Dabrikishaw]

My greatest fear will be an inability to change my companions armor. By FAR the most annoying thing about ][ for me.

The demo shows you have the ability to change companions armor, so no worries=]

my fear is that DAI will have too much autodialogue and that factions like the templars or mages will just suddenly become irredeemably evil and you MUST oppose them, i'd prefer both sides be viable choices to support..

[Kalas Magnus]

no velanna

[SilkieBantam]

For my qunari inquisitor to be unable to run her fingers through Varric's chest hair.

[superdeathdealer14]

My greatest fears for DA:I hmmm..... The Warden not returning ( either as simple cameo or an important character ) or Morrigan dies or my son or simply my Inquisitor dies.

That would be scandalous indeed.

[The Hierophant]

There being no cross promotional volus armor for dwarf inquisitors.

[RobRam10]

Not being allowed to have Tevinter as an ally or that they handle it as Cerberus was on ME3.
Also blood magic not being a spec.

[Angrywolves]

another forum war in the BSN. The romance haters return and want to fight over the DAI romances or whether should be romances in DA4.
The "evil dude " players who want to commit genocide, kill all the dalish, whatever find out there are consequences for doing it and come in here raising hell over having those consequences . So there's a flamewar over that too.
Warden and hawke , their fans are unhappy with the fate BIOWARE CHOSE FOR THEM, believing the fans should have been allowed to decide this.
Microtransactions, Multiplayer affecting single player like the ME war assets stuff.

[FeliciaM]

My biggest fear would be that Bioware and EA pull another Mass Effect 3. Where... it didn't seem complete at the end, and I was all '???'. Then through additional ending content, and DLC... things get explained. And the story, at least for me, got enough closure for me to get over it. Even enjoy it.

I imagine the game will be awesome, but I'm paranoid about the ending

[Androme]

 I think the main story questline may be a little... thin, so to say.. Because of the focus on capturing and keeping Keeps (pun intended).

[BaronFonAphedron]

I've probably got only 3 fears about DAI
1) Flemeth as a must-kill boss
2) Merrill's death
3) Since I've got a feeling, that the Inqusition's villain will be a super-epic manipulative sneaky type, i'm afraid of not epic enough "shell" for him. I mean soundtrack, dialogue, not bright enough character. Both Urthemiel and Meredith were not really evil - they were preys of some greater darkness, but this time i feel like it's going to be pure, cunning evil, and i hope it to be impressive. As an example, I really like Fable's Jack of Blades

This, and the fact that they might be overextending on the game, which is a legitemate fear id say.

Basically, too much content which starts to bog the game down further. 

[satunnainen]

That they listened to the fans so much they forget to add the actual game in there somewhere.

[ignoreality]

My only fear is that they take what people write here on BSN as a representative sample of player expectations.
