I dunno where David said it but he made it pretty clear that it was only playable by dev standards. Granted I have no idea how much work it still needs from that stage but yeah. It certainly isn't playable by any gamer's standards.

 

Anyway if it is delayed again whoever is wearing the Boss Hat seriously needs to rain in the team's ambition so that it matches their ability.

in his blog, he also stated that the debugger was still needed at that point

I'd be okay with the release date being pushed to 2015, though it's unlikely at this point.

You need to take into account how Bioware makes games. If I understand this correctly, it's not a linear process following the storyline, but a process of refinement that proceeds from the "bullet points" of the game, so to speak, to the lines in-between. Compared to a book, that would mean you first write the titles of all chapters and outline what's going into them in a very general sense, and then gradually add content the readers will see in the finished product.

That's why a game can be technically playable at an early stage of development. You can play it, yes, but you'll see wireframes and placeholder graphics instead of real artwork, placeholder signs for scenes saying "dialogue between X and Y about Z" without any actual dialogue being present. At a later stage, you may see the subtitles but the spoken lines aren't in yet, and you have the real models but textures are missing. And so on.

Because of that, a rushed game doesn't necessarily appear unfinished in terms of story. It appears unpolished instead. If it appears unfinished or inconsistent in terms of story, that's more likely to be the result of cuts. For a rushed game, see DA2. For a game riddled by cut content, see ME3. At least that's what I suspect.

Being an xbone player, I am lacking in any form of rpg game. In all honesty my patience can't hold out, I need this or witcher 3 asap.

Dark Souls 2 is coming out in a little more than two weeks.

I'm hoping so because if Witcher 3 comes out Q3 2014, it will destroy DA:I's sales.

For Xbox 360,PS3, and PC. The bone has no backwards compatability, it's a terrible investment all around in addition to that.

The Witcher is not a big seller.

Ugh, I misread his post. I read 360 instead of one.

I'm willing to bet that people seeing a new Open world game coming out for their next gen no game systems will hop on that rather than the game who's predecessor is infamously mediocore. That and TW2 only released on PC with a very silent and delayed 360 release.

I won't mind. 

 

Time doesn't always equate quality, but I think with all the added features, I won't be surprised if a hitch comes along.

Can't play a woman so I won't be getting it. And no offense...Why are you even here if you hate the Dragon Age Franchise?

Maybe, maybe not.

Pessimist in me says that everything I'm waiting for always gets delayed as long as possible. Optimist in me says no, everything seems to be fine and it certainly won't be delayed again, they are eager to finally show us their work. Realist says that I shouldn't care that much since in fall I'll be playing plenty of other games anyway ... :?

 

@ the The Witcher 3 topic ... this game does look amazing. I'll be playing both games, no matter when they come out. DA:I first however, if they release about the same time.

I don't see any reason to think so. If they do, sure I will be disappointed, but I'm confident it'd be for the right reasons. Some things are worth waiting for.

I hope they don't delay DA:I againI don't have any other games to look forward to, other than Star Citizen and I'm not even sure of their release date.

Though if they do decide to delay it once more, there is not much I can do about it so I'll just sit at my computer and pout or something... I guess.

TW3 will probably be coming out before the summer, so I am not worried about that. I am more worried about Fallout 4 coming out alongside DAI. That will be a true battle for my time and attention. I cant imagine having to pick between the two but I fear it might really happen.

:lol: well yep, same here. BioWare would have to feel the incredible wrath of our pout!

I doubt that F4 will come out this year.

If (that's a big if) they delay the game release it won't bother me, I'll just continue doing what I'm doing now. Being retired and playing games.

Actually i prefer it to be delayed, because i want to play polished game. I want to play the best game possible, so one more year it is not a problem. Plus Witcher 3 is almost sure on his way, so no RPG drought to be expected. Not to mention Dark Souls 2 which is far from the pure quality of witcher and dragon age but it is sth. Risen 3 will be out in August so, many good RPG's playing DAI next year would be saving the best for last.

Just as a note in terms of how things can go: on DAO one week before we were supposed to go gold, I was convinced that there was no way we could possibly ship the game on time.  4 days later I was just "wow" as things were pretty good to go.

 

The game definitely isn't ready for ship at this point.  But it's been cool to see it starting to come together the past few months.

As long as the game is polished and has a lot to do. I don't honestly care. They could delay it with 2 years, as long as the game is good.

It's important that these guys get their vision realized, not getting rushed, like it has been with Mass Effect 3 and DA2. Get it right and I'm happy. :)
