Well you guessed wrong on the comic book and merch buyer as I never even buy them and I play Dragon Age only on a PC and never on a console. Who would have time to even play MP since the SP main can take 40 to 50 hours without doing hardly any side quests and then add the side quests and you nearly got 90+ hours on 1 character alone. Like I said it is not needed in this type of game period as it was argued to death on the old forums and got no where. <_<

 

This forum is, thankfully, a small sect of the fandom.

 

you mean something other than the codexs about them? like what? its its multiplayer there really isn't going to be alot of story in it. Titan Fall has tried that and from what i can see it got some serious mixed reviews over it.

 

I can see this being something if we where talking about an RTS, cause then you can have the different stories and what not with the different societies and what not, but in a more or less MMO style arena kind of thing... odn't really seeing "Lore" being introduced. I mean I think there is more Lore int he WoT book to explain the stuff because, I think most of the people playing are going to say, "The big armored guy with a big axe" or "the less armoed one with a big sword" And its down to more what ablities weapons people like to use over lore. 

 

I've explained this in other post in this thread. Lore is more than a codex entry. It's the style of a culture or the magic and skills they use as well.

In ME3's case, there was a certain novelty to just playing as a geth or asari, given that the protagonist in the singleplayer was limited to Shepard. Anecdotally people had fun roleplaying as a team of krogan warriors avenging Tuchanka or whatever. 

 

Not to mention that they could do more story-based missions like SWTOR's flashpoints or (I think it was) Neverwinter Nights' co-op campaigns.

You got me. You're right. I said everyone like you who loves the game also buys all the comics and book and spare merch.

 

Thankfully you are here to remind me that everyone who plays the game will be the completionist at 90+ hours and would never be able to find time for multiplayer. Boy, do I feel dumb now.

If there was going to be multiplayer for this game....we would have heard about it by now.

 

Not necessarilly.

 

ME3's multiplayer was revealed about five months before release, but it was due to a leak.  It could very well be something that's still being hidden from us.

I think multiplayer might have simply been to difficult for them to implement. They were learning how to use the new engine as they went along, and even had to have a years extension due to difficulties with it. Did they have the time and resources to create a multiplayer mode using it when just creating the single player was such a challenge?

I don't mind if they put multiplayer in.

 

Just leave me out of it. I hate people (yes, including you. Especially you) ;)

Ther could be some cool PvP Or PVE things they could do and with frostbite being use on battlefield we know it can handle a good large number of people i think on console 16 v 16 and double on pc though ...

Hmm..

 

You remember Oghren's grand vision in DAA of a fleet of Mabari chariots to 'liven up' the Grey Wardens' image?

 

Oh, the possibilities....

I don't want multiplayer. I like playing the game on my own and checking out all the options and builds.

Why would a Multiplayer prevent that?

It totally wouldn't. There's not a sound reason to oppose multiplayer in this game, given how BioWare would likely handle it. I can totally understand not having an interest in multiplayer, but that doesn't mean we oughta exclude it, especially since its inclusion won't negatively impact SP.

 

I have no interest in playing as a dwarf, but that doesn't mean I'd argue that dwarves should be excluded, even though the work put into a dwarven character could ostensibly be apply to an area that's up my alley. To each his own, right? Especially where one choice doesn't override another (as here).

I hate playing as a rogue. I hope rogues aren't in the game.

I don't think it would. I just don't care for multiplayer. I did it in ME3 for the 5000 points and was bored doing it. It seemed like too much work. I would rather they sell us a modding tools set. I would be all over that.

That fits me. I love the game for the books, comics and chasing all the trophies. I also play around with the conversation trees and multiple ending. I just won't care to spend the time in multiplayer.

Saying that you don't care for it doesn't mean BioWare shouldn't look into it. The only reason I stated I wouldn't care for it was this:

 

1. BioWare should get a feel from this post what % of customers maybe interested in it. A least as a sample set.

 

2. It will cost them to add it in. I'm sure they can take % interested as a sample set to determine how much money they can make selling all the packs for Multiplayer. 

 

My answer is only there to give an idea what % of the games sold won't be interested in the packs they need to sell to cover the cost. I'm all for BioWare making money because that means more books and games.

 

Hope more members add comments in the post to give them an idea how many pack/maps could be sold.

People have invested thousands of hours on just ME3's multiplayer.

 

I don't think a single player game has enough content to last a thousand hours.

All great points, although this post likely won't indicate how players will feel about this issue. The sample size on this forum is too small to be helpful for a decision of that magnitude. They have better resources for that sort of thing, and I'm sure they've done their due diligence.

Good point Red.
 
I'm not against it. I just wouldn't say yes unless I would buy the added maps and packs. I really like BioWare. 
I just don't have the time to play that much in general. If they have the market then I want them to enjoy.

i've spent thousands of hours huffing paint and stealing vhs tapes, doesn't mean it's a positive thing to spend my time doing.

 

i mean, it is, but mulitplayer is not. you get it.

The issue for me is that after ME3 I simply don't believe that its inclusion won't negatively impact SP.

After the failure that was ME3, Bioware should refrain from multiplayer.

ME3 wasn't a failure nor was the multiplayer, i enjoyed playing the multiplayer and it kept the game alive.

 

The multiplayer aspect of ME3 was amazing in my opinion because we got to play with other fans and enjoy the game together as a community, also getting to play as a Turian was by far the highlight of the multiplayer experience for me.

 

Also i had no problems with the original ending of ME3, i still don't understand why so many people got upset over it but i have come to expect as much since the gaming community has become a bunch of whining brats who want everything their way and god forbid if a developer makes a game the way they invision it instead of enjoying a game and story that a developer took time out of their lives to create and share with us but the majority of the community does nothing but nit pick or hate on them for not reading their minds and making a game the exact same way they want it.

 

Back to the topic at hand i personaly think a multiplayer mode for Dragon Age Inquisition would be great!!!!

How in the cold depths of Hades do you spend 90+ hours with one character on any ME game's SP campaign? I'm a completionist who plays on hard and runs back and forth quite a bit more than needed, and they each took me 40 to 50 hours per playthrough. Maybe 60 if I factor in deaths and retrys very generously.

I'm never too sure what people mean when they say ME3's MP negatively impacted the SP campaign. I never saw it as that big of a deal that I didn't get a lame hand from the rubble scene.

Anyway, it doesn't matter since that was patched out of the game. Shouldn't that be proof enough that Bioware realized the mistake of linking the 2 in that way?
