Well.....it mean that DAI is more tied to DA2 then DAO.....so its more important for Hawke to show up 

[AlexiaRevan]

is.... is that charmed? god i forgot this show existed 

Yeah It is..I loved that show..never finished though..will have to resume at one point   

[The Elder King]

Oh really?  That's interesting.
 
Would they even have been working on the game at that point?

They Did. Inquisition, or at least its concept, was planned as a sequel of DAO. They later decided to create smaller Project as a bridge between Origins and Inquisition called Exodus, who would've became DA2.

I never heard of that, wow.

 

It's funny to think that some of the Inquisition companion character concepts are older than the DA2 ones.

[AlexiaRevan]

Isn't always like this ? I mean..they usually do it for movies......You know have a script , then script change . Then it get leaked...and you end up with almost 2 movies lol

True.
Though it's another point in favour of the game, since some of The initial stuff was already done before The actual dev time after DA2 and dlcs.

Guess that makes more sense why a lot of Exalted March ended up being put into DAI 

[AlexiaRevan]

Ah! Just though about this..but DAI maybe just redeeem DA2.........even if a microscopic tiny bit . For others..cose I loved tha game 

[The Elder King]

I wonder What exactly of The expansion was used for DAI. The only plot that comes in my mind is the mage-templar war.

[Knight of Dane]

I don't think anything is ever going to redeem the mistakes od DA2, that doesn't mean that Bioware can't rise from that failure and come back strong.

Why would think DAI might redeem DA2 for those who didn't like it?

Greek names? I'm so proud of you. *sheds one single tear*
 
 

 
I have named Wardens "Ariadne" and "Marina". I have named Shepards "Euphrosyne" and "Alypia" and "Serena". Greek names are ossim.
 

Since I'm thinking of making a character to romance Cass, I think I might name him Heracles. (Proper spelling, Hercules came along during the Roman Empire.)

 
That's actually not the proper spelling: there's no C in Greek. The best transliteration is Hēraklēs; since most people don't know how to type an eta, Herakles is also acceptable.
 

Never feel bad about what you like!

 

 

I mean, I understand people not wanting to be spoiled, and I would never intentionally spoil someone who doesn't want to be because that's rude, but at the same time I don't understand this huge fear people have about spoilers. If all you care about is base facts about something and not the experience that goes with it, then I think you're playing games/watching films/reading books for the wrong reasons. Again, I wouldn't ever spoil anyone, but just knowing certain things about the game doesn't ruin it for me because I still have the chance to experience it in game for myself, see how characters react, etc and that's what matters whether I know about it ahead of time or not.

I agree.

One of the most obnoxious aspects of this viral aversion to sperlas is that it is incredibly inconsistent. It does not, typically, prohibit all information about a game. The participation of certain voice actors is rarely viewed as a sperla: few people think that "Freddie Prinze Jr. is voicing a character!" is problematic information. Same with the participation of certain BioWare/EA staff members (OMG SHERYL CHEE IS INVOLVED TAKE MY MONEY). The existence of certain characters is also generally not considered to be sperla-ish: some people may object to knowing about "the Elder One", but almost nobody complains about knowing the identities of the various companions or about knowing the identity of the player character. Other things, like setting information (Skyhold!), or appearances (qunari Inquisitor!), or gameplay information (tactical camera! maul/greatsword dichotomy! THERE ARE FOUR PEOPLE IN YOUR PARTY!), are viewed with even less consistency.

Where do you draw the line? People have to know something about the game in order to make a purchase decision. I wouldn't buy Inquisition if I didn't know it was a BioWare game with certain hallmarks of BioWare storytelling and gameplay in a setting that I enjoy. Some people need more information than others, too: there are people who would refuse to purchase if there were no non-heterosexual romance plotlines in the game, and there are others who won't buy unless they can play as magic-users. There are people who claim that they would not have bought Mass Effect 3 if they had known what the ending was like. Conversely, I for one would have not even thought of purchasing Saints Row 2 through IV if I had not known that they were GTA-style games with a wacky sense of humor in which one could play as a customizable female protagonist. Like it or not, sperlas will exist: the only question is what kind of sperlas are "acceptable" and what kind are not. And nobody agrees on the answer to that question.

If there is a generally common thread among the rabid avoiders of sperlas, it is that they privilege plot sperlas above all else. They don't want the plot to be sperled, but other aspects of the game are generally fair, uh, game. I think that this is abhorrent, though, because what that does is it places the foundation of experiencing Inquisition on the basis of experiencing the plot. This happened, then this happened, then this happened; this character delivered this line and then that character responded with this other line. Plot is, obviously, an important aspect of any story-based entertainment, but to privilege it above all else is genuinely saddening. It devalues all the other work that has gone into the game: you don't care if you know that Vivienne exists before you play the game, and you don't care if you know what she sounds like and looks like, but you do care about whether you know some of her companion arc.

Why should plot be considered the most important aspect of a story? There are plenty of great books, movies, and video games with plots that, well, don't lose much if they're sperled. People generally watch 2001: A Space Odyssey for the cinematography: the knowledge that HAL-9000 goes haywire and that David Bowman eventually finds and enters the Monolith is almost irrelevant to one's enjoyment of the film. Catch-22 has an incredibly repetitive and meandering plot, revealed in a nonlinear fashion not because the nonlinearity adds to the plot (nobody bothers trying to recreate the chronology from beginning to end, and the book has a fast-and-loose relationship with causality) but to aid in creating comic situations and to illustrate just how jumbled-up one's recollections of military life in a war often are. Waiting for Godot only "kind of" has a plot, and there are basically no plot sperlas that are even possible in the context of the play.

Anyway, the distressing focus on plot aside, demands for limited sperlas are annoying because they make people who don't have this problem change their behavior for the sake of those who do. Why should everybody else have to try to figure out what [insert random citizen] thinks is a sperla and avoid talking about that stuff? Oughtn't the onus be on those who have these esoteric understandings of sperlas to change their own behavior to avoid them?

I mean, I put sperlas in sperla tags here on the BSN. But I don't like that I "need" to.

[AlexiaRevan]

Toward the story I mean . Kinda like...one of thing that was lame was the lack of choices with Impact in DA2 toward mages/Templars . Yet the beginning of DAI will be about that....

 

Or maybe Hawke showing up ? 

 

Its positive thoughs...dont ask me to explain!  Think PINK! 

[TheLastSuperSaiyan87]

I wonder What exactly of The expansion was used for DAI. The only plot that comes in my mind is the mage-templar war.

Maybe its the portion of the game that Hawke appears in? Since Exalted March was supposed to end Hawke's story, instead of the cliffhanger we got in DA 2.

That soon ? Dunno....

 

Hopefully not....cose Hawke is yum yum ! I rather have Sera , Vivi and Cass...then Hawke show up ! Mass Babbeling and ohh and Haaa !

Depends on Where Hawke will appear, I guess.

[Aimi]

Dragon Age 2 doesn't end on a cliffhanger. Hawke leaves the city. Hawke's been gone for three years. Hawke is not sitting outside the Amell Estate, ready to confront the Seekers just as the credits roll.

Setting up future games is not the same thing as leaving unresolved plot and action out of the current game. That makes "cliffhanger" such a broadly applicable term as to be almost meaningless.

Thoughts on Sera's stance on Mabari's?

 

I reckon she's a dog person, she'd enjoy horsing around with em and teaching em tricks perhaps. Oh and getting them to fetch stuff for her.

with all these spoilers and people leaving, i wonder if we'll actually reach 1000 or will this thread be dead til release

 

We'll reach 1000 in a day or two, this group doesn't look like slowing down yet.

Betrayerrr! *throw Bras in a mutinery fashion*

I think the most important question is, who is Ashe playing as/romancing?

 

Also the gates to The Keep will be open tomorrow, hooray, although I've been in the beta for weeks it'll be nice to talk about it in comfort now. Ain't nobody gonna sue me!
