Given I liked DA2 for what it was (I enjoyed the story and characters well enough, hated the copy-pasting, thought building a character was much more interesting, etc) and loved ME3 until the last five minutes or so, I'm expecting to really enjoy DA:I. And if it sucks? Well, that will be disappointing, but I won't act like they went out of their way to wrong me personally. Crazy, I know.

Pretty sure I'll enjoy it, though, unless it really, REALLY goes off the rails somehow.

Considering the trainwreck of Bioware's latest games? No, I don't have high hopes. I thought they learned a lesson with DA2 then ME3 came out.

I'm keeping my hopes between blind fanboyism and pure hatred.

High hopes after DA2, ME2,ME3 and TOR? This a joke?

Well, considering that Mas Effect 2 is superior to the first, that should improve your hopes.

I try to keep my expectations low. ME3 beat the high expectations out of me. What I've seen and heard does look good, but the same was true of ME3 half a year before release.

Having said that, I feel that I can extend more trust to the DA team. While I didn't like several aspects of DA2, in those things I care about most - roleplaying and story - it didn't fail in the end,

ME3 the game part was great I thought better than the others, Other than the one button does everything thing, I seriously hated that, I want to run to cover not stick to the 'cover' that wouldn't help me.

The story was honestly great till the end.

So really it was more like a plane crash, the flght was great until it tried to land had flew into a flock of birds that caused the plane to crash.

Tho, in all fareness its the DA team not the ME team. And dispite the last choice in DA2 it was pretty decient. Not the greatest but good.

On a scale from 1-10 I gave DA:Origins a 9.5 since it was a near perfect experience way up there with a classic such as Baldur's Gate II.

DA2 I gave 8.0, it was still a good game in its own right, but copy/paste areas and whatnot made it a more generic game than Origins.

As for a yay or nay regarding Inquisition then hell yeah it's a yay
I'm really looking forward to it, and though I'm not setting my hopes up as high as the epic jewels Bioware have created in the past, as to not be disappointed, I'm still confident they'll make an excellent game - and who knows, maybe they will reach the stars, they've sure done it more times than most other gaming companies

[hotdogbsg]

High hopes for me, I've enjoyed all the BW games I've played to some extent, even DA2 so I'm reasonably confident from past experiences and what I've seen so far that DA:I will be something I like alot.

[Rolling Flame]

This is the first BioWare game since Mass Effect 2 that is getting some decent development time, which has raised my hopes and expectations.

[TurretSyndrome]

I think it's going to be mediocre. My gut's saying that I'll get over the whole open world exploration enthusiasm thing after 5 minutes of gameplay.

I don't have particularly high hopes. Hopefully BioWare surprises me.

[Andraste_Reborn]

Since I loved both DAO and DA2, I am crazy excited for Inquisition. Nothing we've seen so far indicates to me that they've deviated so substantially from the first two games that I won't enjoy the third one.

I gotta say that Mass Effect 3 ending destroyed the whole experience for me...
But it was good especially the genophage sacrifice part that I think it was the only moment in a video game where I felt sad (the second being from the depression that was the ending lol)

My only needs for a game is lengthy, variety and polishness, if it comes with a good story it is a bonus and im sure as hell interested in DA:I story

@Nightdragon8:
"Drama over consistency", "drama over common sense", character-derailing autodialogue and a cavalier attitude to the lore all over the place in ME3. That's a much stronger turn-off for me than the (EC) ending. ME3 did beat the high expectations out of me not only, not even primarily because of the ending, which is somewhat fixed with the EC. I felt betrayed by it on several counts (see the review linked in my sig).

Now I don't think DAI will do something like that, but it's the attitude that resulted in these failings which makes me apprehensive.

So, I am cautiously optimistic based on what I've seen and heard. There will be quite a few elements in DAI I'm really looking forward to. In the end, however, it will fail or succeed with its storytelling and its roleplaying for me, and while DA2 was not bad in these aspects, every time I think about it I ask myself: Which constraint will they add this time? Or will they actually reverse the trend?

[Angarma]

Well now, I have high hopes for my toast not to burn- does it though? Sometimes.
All I will state further is that we shall see, for one bad apple can spoil the whole batch.

Ever since EA took over things have taken a nose dive. The impetus is on speed and $. Not games being as great as Bioware could manage (pre EA mentality)

I doubt they will get the time to ever make a great game in the modern climate.

[CrabbyCrackers]

i have high hopes.
im still playing dao as we speak. tho i dont play da2 as often as the first , i still play it.

I have no reason not to have high hopes since I've loved the entirety of the DA and ME games so far. I tend to be very laid back when it comes to games so there's not much about a game that can make me feel upset or put off. Heck, I didn't even mind the coloured endings in ME3 that people hate so much.

That said, I'm also doing my best not to get caught up in the hype while enjoying the ride at the same time.

I wish there were more people like you. The internet would not be such a cesspool. I enjoyed all Bioware games, some more, some less. I just don't get some people that get so upset about individual features (or lack thereof). "I want many races to chose from, i want tons of stats and abilities, i want to dress up my companions or else the game sucks!" It just seems so narrow minded... The game can be great and engaging an not have any of those features (instead have other features).

Speaking only for myself, I hated DA2's combat with a passion and didn't find the game was "ruined" for it. I critiziced the lack of companion customization but didn't think the game was ruined for it. The same with a few other features. DA2 was enjoyable for its story and roleplaying. Not nearly as much as DAO, but good enough that I'm still occasionally playing it. With a mod that makes the combat super-easy.

What *can* ruin a game for me - what happened in ME3 - is if my protagonist or a character I love(d) comes to represent thematic messages I detest with no forewarning and no way to opt out of it, and if the ending (ME3's original one) leaves me with a feeling of physical sickness. Literally. ME3 was a really extreme case. I've never felt the likes of it in over 30 years of playing video games, and I see it as an exception and do not expect that it will happen again any time soon. However, it has left its mark and because of that there is a lingering apprehension when I think of DAI.

I always hate this argument.  People always want to say people didn't like the game for what it wasn't or didn't have, never giving a thought that people may have disliked the game because they thought these 'other features' were poor.

They tried a one city system, but the city was dead, lifeless, hardly changed and wasn't interactive at all.  You have the story that you have to be snuck in because the city is full but when get in its barren.  Barren to the point where you run into mire criminals than normal citizens over the course of the game.

They gave you a family but never gave you a reason to care about them, they were just there to kill off in an attempt to make it dark fantasy.  You were Champion of the city but you couldn't go see you sister in the circle or your brother in templar barracks.

The combat was not fun, it was tedious, the extra waves added no additional challenge to fights just inflated the lengths.  I won't even go into raining enemies.

The was no sense of discovery because you were in one city and when you left you only got to see the same few areas over and over.

Many things just didn't make any sense.  You needed a map to find the deep roads but a group of rogue mages and templars can find it and kidnap your sibling.  The deep roads in days weeks journey away but on two occasions your sibling just shows up out of the blue when ???? is just hitting the fan like they're clairvoyant.

The enitre goal of the first act can be tossed aside by one side quest with a loan that is paid back off screen with no consequences.

I could go on but there was a lot of what there, most of it for me that just didn't work and I've never been a person who gives credit for what someone tried to do.  If it was bad it was bad.

Pretty much. Having low expectations means you can be pleasantly surprised.

I enjoyed the plots of DA2 and the fact that when I chose text, my character could actually speak the words. Unlike DAO where my character was mute unless he/she was making noises during battle or responding to my commands (which I did not like). But the environment and bond you feel your party, over time, felt missing in DA2. I hope they can keep that comraderie in DAI? I really missed it in DA2.

[Mike3207]

I expect it will be better than DA2, but not close to as good as Origins.I hope I am wrong.
