Eh, I'd prefer the ME style of focusing on the before and after character moments, instead of the actual screwing.
If I spend hours conversing with you, buying you gifts, doing favors for you, only doing actions you'll find acceptable and then finally get you in the sheets I want to see my just desserts. Witcher gives a far better payoff then DA/ME. Unfortunately there's no emotion in the payoff.
I think that everything looks pretty fun feeling better about pre ordering this on PS4. BUT, the timed exclusive stuff really REALLY soured it for me.
In what video do we hear the female Inquisitor?

I was a bit underwhelmed with what they chose to show especially since I got a better sense of combat and was a lot more hyped seeing the combat in the gameplay that got leaked a long time ago.

We'll get a lot more tomorrow. I think it'll be more along the lines of the demo you're referencing.

Do you know if the E3 and IGN sessions are the only things we can look forward to tomorrow?

The only ones that were announced yes, there is a game spot one on Wednesday as well. There is always the possibility of demo previews / reactions from people playing the demo on the show floor (I believe it is going to be there too ?). Can't remember.

Yeah, but today was the day the world was watching. The game would have gotten a lot more exposure if it really wowed us today. The game play trailer was underwhelming. The character introduction trailer made it seem like there will only be 4 companions. It was all a bit strange that BW wouldn't give E3 more importance especially this close to launch.
Damn, that is a pretty good female voice. Though I never play as females.

It's not necessarily Bioware who says "give me X minutes to show off my game". Microsoft probably gave them X minutes and EA gave them X minutes. I don't personally think that DA can really be shown justice gameplay wise with a trailer, you need a demo where you can actually see someone acting like a player rather than a video director.

I don't think Dragon Age is the type of game that will wow people at E3 in 10 min. I don't remember legions of folks outside of Bioware's base being psyched about DA or DA2 during E3. Hence why Flynn was shot down when he tried to talk about DA in his GT interview and was repeatedly asked about Mass Effect instead.
After seeing the trailers and information given out of DAI during the E3 press conferences and mulling them over a little bit, I was waiting for the public demand for my opinions on the matter. Since everyone seems to be too inconsiderate to make such demands, I decided to nobly write some random thoughts here anyway. And, to give a small warning, they are relatively boring.
I. Even though I think the Inquisitor helmet is really ugly, I do admire the solution they managed to get with it. A huge problem in trying to advertise games is that you need that character that can be easily identified as the player character. This problem was seen with the initial concept art published at the Facebook site showing those PCs of different races in different situations, yet because there was nothing to make the person seeing them connect the characters as actually being PCs. However, with the helmet, there is that instant connection which they have been successful in establishing so far, as everyone seemed to realize that the woman in the trailer was the Inquisitor, even though it was the first time we really saw her.
II. The environments are beautiful and seem to have a lot of character in them, which seems good considering how much attention they have put in to that.
III. Different people value different things in trailers and a lot of people here have indicated that they were looking forward to a better idea of combat in the game, which I guess they half got? Maybe? While marketing, the companies want to focus on different things and bring out what they consider important in the game, which in this case has very publicly been the exploration and sense of finding things. If you just read those last two sentences, you might be slightly confused why I decided to mention two such ridiculously obvious things. The thing is, a couple of months ago I was re-watching for reasons the trailers for both DA2 and ME3, and even already in the trailers I kind of felt you could sense how ambitious the stories they wanted to tell were. And as someone to whom, I hope you it correctly there, stories and narratives are perhaps a highest priority, those trailers just sold me the games at that moment. It is also one of the reasons I will love those games, because of what they tried to and succeeded to do with stories and narratives.
The reason I bring this up, is that after seeing these trailers, seeing those beautiful sights and introduced to the characters, I have no idea what they are trying to do with the story. Actually, that is slightly false, as I have seen the Laidlaw interview where he spoke about power and how it makes people act, but there is nothing about that in the trailers. Instead we got "There is a big, bad Evil. We need to defend against it. Oh, I have this special brand that makes me the only one who can defeat the evil. Oh, and yeah, because of that, the Evil hunts me." The story, based on the trailers seen so far and in just my opinion, just really, really generic.Like even more generic than DAO. And I realized that it made me hesitate really for the first for the game, as I became worried that because of the vocal backlash on DA2 and ME3, Bioware decided to play it safe and reign it in storytelling-wise. I don't know how justified such fears are and I guess we will see more as the game closes in, but at the moment it something that is causing me concern for the game, as I really want to like and I think I have enjoyed all their games so far.

Cool. Thanks.

That's definitely true. I highly doubt BW would get to decide the length of the trailer without limit but I just felt they could have done more with the time they were given.
I was so pumped up about the companions trailer, it was building up so nicely and then bam they stop at four and not even hint at the others??

That's true. And a little bit sad. Isn't DA:O one of their most successful games in terms of sales? It means there are audience but the press seem to just ignore it.

It's just really hard to showcase the tactical part / version, you spend 5 minutes showing that in a trailer and then one segment of people call it boring or whatever. Kind of a lose-lose. It's why you hardly ever see an actual gameplay trailer (other than short cuts) of strategy or turn based games because you can't have a 15 minute trailer (at least not in a busy press conference setting) of some player planning out their next move, looking at every player's units on a map and so on. You have cinematic cuts of the 100s of units fighting each other, not the clicking of "Axeman" 15 times to que them up to build at the barracks even though that is more of what the game is about.
I think that the story trailers were top notch today and I'm looking forward to the gameplay demos ...well today lol

I believe it's second to ME3 but yeah it's definitely one of their biggest hits. The press overall doesn't ignore it there will be plenty of articles written about DAI this week. It just get's ignored at the really big events and it's hard to fault the publishers for that. Some of the games being shown will move 5 mil units easily. DAO and ME3 moved around 3.5 respectively. It's a niche market.
I think both Vivienne and Cassandra are very attractive. I wouldn't call Sera ugly either, just one that doesn't hit Allan's Notes™ as well.
Lol @ "Allan's Notes". 
Not that this is important but personally I find all three of them incredibly attractive in very different ways. This is a first for me. I LIKE.
There's going to be more tomorrow. Cool ya jets.
Sit tight, there's more tomorrow.So we got 1 minute demo and 3 minutes worth of new trailers?
I'm gonna sound like a jerk but, that's it?
AC 5, COD, battlefield had like 15 minutes worth.
Maker killl me for saying this in a bioware forum but even witcher 3 had a 1 minute tailer and 5 minutes worth of demo. I wanted to see more of Dragon Age this E3. I guess i expected too much, am I wrong to feel this way? Is anyone feeling not too hyped not to notice it?
ass Effet

Bioware themselves seem to ignore the Dragon Age games and treat them as an embarrassing cousin. When releasing DA2 they hardly mentioned Origins and what they did mention of it was about the problems with it and how bad it was, instead they tried to make DA2 seem like it was a Mass Effect game.
Mass Effect had a lot more advertising compared to Dragon Age and in the Bioware booths the majority of them were all about Mass Effect with a tiny mention to Dragon Age.
Can we please have a trailer with the races in it?
You're gonna have such a great feature, but haven't shown it in any promotion videos. Surely that's a missed opportunity?
