If it isn't good then it isn't good, not much too worry about imo, have been getting a bit too used to it lately, i have mostly kickstarters on my mind atm and ofc Witcher 3 and Dark Souls 2 so it's not like the world will end if it's a failure.
I've already lost faith in Bioware after ME3, DA2, and TOR, I don't know how you couldn't. DA:O is my favorite game of all time so I'll prolly buy any Dragon Age game that comes out regardless.

I just like being able to create a protagonist that's not a Straight White Guy. Or one that isn't boring. Rest of the game looks nice, admittedly.
We agree to march on BioWare and sacrifice a goat every day until they give us what we want

Fair enough.
I know it's meant to be hypothetical but there's no way I can see this happening. Unless they've outright lied to us or do something like the ME3 endings (doubtful after the backlash), what reason would people have to bandwagon against DAI? Hell, I'm willing to bet people will love it right away for no reason other than it not being DA2.
If it's bad I shall of course sacrifice a goat to the great demon as well and summon all seven plagues over all off Biowares studios in righteous justice.
Seriously though. I't wouldn't change anything since so far I liked every Bioware game I played including ME3 and DA2.
While DA2 was clearly inferior to Origins (in my opinion) it was still very enjoyable and quite entetaining.
And I personally liked ME3 best in the Mass Effect trilogy. I thought it was just more emotional than the other two parts.
You failed to understand my point, just like the previous people, read my other post. I could care less what someone considers a gimmick or not, or how anyone spends their money.
Honestly, this doesn't surprise me at all, it is the typical line of thought I was expecting. I am done discussing this.
I have not failed to consider your point. I just do not feel it is valid.Everything at one or another affects someone else. The point I consider is do I care enough how it is affecting someone else.
honestly this is starting to turn into "I don't trust BW" Thread. so should be locked.
Thats nice you didn't like SWTOR I did, yes it was a WoW clone and the fact that the community fragmented the later population didn't help. It was still a good game.
You didn't like DA2, because it wasn't DA:Orgins 2 , thats fine I liked DA2. You didn't like ME3 AT ALL. thats fine, I liked ME3 minus the ending. And Alot of other people agree with me.
I do agree DA2 was weaker than DA:O that Doesn't make it a bad game. All that really happened is honestly partly your fualt. Sequals are rarely as good as the first one. You all where thinking "OH we are going to get DA:Orgins 2" nope sorry didn't happen now you crap on the title because you didn't get what you want.
Thats fine its your opinion. That doesn't make you "Right." despite what you say DA2 wasn't the worset game ever. there are clearly worse games, and if anything DA2 is average. Which is fine to be average. In the gaming market thats honestly starved of RPG's I mean for the longest time the only RPG's out there where really Ktor, Ktor2, the BG series, JE. the rest are JRPG's which are fine.
There's always The Witcher 3
I´m really exited for that title. I still have that Geralt bust from the previous collectors-edition on my desk.
No issue from my POV. I don't think DA:I is make-or-break for Bioware (and I worry that if I personally were to into it with that premise, I'd end up seeing faults everywhere and creating a self-fulfilling prophecy).
Not too worried, I've loved all of Bioware's recent single-player RPGs. I know some people have issues with it, but I thought MEIII was the best in the series. And while DAII wasn't perfect, it was still a great game. We'll see about DAI, but my expectations are pretty high right now.
Mass Effect 3 was my favorite. If I enjoy Inquisition even half as much as I did with it then it'll be money and time well spent.
You're not a fan of amazing games, are you?
Neither are you, if you like the Witcher series.
You see what I did there

In all seriousness though, The Witcher games are not fully comparable to Dragon Age in some respects, and similar in others. They both have strengths and weaknesses to their design and execution, saying someone likes or dislikes it is again a matter of taste, and is not factual.
So yeah, stop pretending it is.
Or, a different opinion! How shocking!
/sarcasm
darn it, sorta-ninja'd
Not really. Its story was lackluster, unlike origins, and both games had shoddy gameplay. Bad ai, poorly worded tooltips, micromanaging four characters, etc. DA2 took some of the finesse out by removing skills. It had some good jokes, but it fell far short of DA:O; the reviews were accurate.
It was kind of like Dishonored, come to think of it. Alright, but nothing special, compared to other games of its style.
Mass Effect 3 was my favorite Mass Effect game. The gameplay was solid and the story was great except for the ending. I hope the game is as enjoyable (with a more satisfying ending).

In your opinion. Opinion, not fact. You think it was bad, I think it was good. Cool. You have an opinion, which I respect, and I have an opinion. So do others who like/dislike the game.
It will be good, I enjoyed all even DA2 it was fun to play, I doubt it will be like Mass Effect since I don't use that.
I will wait till after release and when the price has dropped no matter what. If it is poorly received and I get the impression that it's actually bad, I won't bother buying it at all.

According to who? Why are they not comparable? Everyone in this place always comes up with those words and they never say why they "shouldn't be compared". I think they can be compared, for one they're both RPGs, they both have a medieval setting, they both claim to be dark and mature(although only one of them actually makes good on that), they both have some sort of cataclysmic event and they have some pretty similar themes.
They have a lot more in common than people think. I don't know why everyone claims that they can't be compared.

Ok.
So, can I compare Dragon Age with Borderlands? After all, they both are RPG's then, albiet hybrid type of games. As for the medieval setting, that doesn't matter at all since its a personal taste. As for dark and mature, well, neither of the games are really dark, and maturity is a nut I would rather not crack in here because it will lead to people getting banned if I bring it up.
The reason I say they are incomparable is due to mechanics and style. Dragon Age is mostly player-centric, player choice in customization of the character. It is also a primarily party-based game, so there is more management to contend with and a cast of characters to follow. Part of the appeal of BioWare games is the cast of followers, companions, squadmates, or what have you.
Whereas Witcher is single-based, with singular character design. There are moments where you have characters stepping in, but it is mostly Geralt and his story, his personality, that we see. You also have differences in stat and stat distributions, Witcher 2, from what I remember, had a simpler stat line with Vitality, Endurance and Toxicity to contend with, which is mostly modified through talents that increase them in number and in resistance, compared to Dragon Age where the stats in Strength, Dex, Constitution and so forth influence attack power, defense, critical hits, and so forth. In terms of abilities, they do different things too, modify different stats and so forth that are useful for offensive or defensive powers. Because Dragon Age is party based, there is also cross-class comboing going on, abilities that are designed to set up, or finish, a power attack for another character.
mechanic wise that is a major difference between them. Thematically sure, you can argue its similar, but as I said, the same themes come into play with games like Borderlands, Final Fantasy, Betrayal and Krondor, and Planescape Torment, all of which are RPG's with different style, mechanics, and intricacies they focus on. A one-to-one comparison is too crude to make.
