Nope. Can't be sure of quality anymore, need to know what I'm getting before I pay for it. I'm optimistic but I'm not stupid.

No.
Spoilers don't ruin games for me. In fact, they make me want the games more.
This ^^ I loooove all the spoilers! ![]()

No. I'm going to know every important plot thread weeks in advance of the game's release, just like with the last two games.

I'm planning on abandoning ship after E3. I doubt that there will be major spoilers during E3 itself so I should be good and I want to know more of the gameplay and how the Inquisitors look and sound. Ideally, there'd be a demo of the first 10-20 minutes of the game - that wouldn't spoil anything and show off the gameplay. Everything else I don't really want to know (locations, companions) because I want to go in fresh. Most of the impact DA:O and DA2 had on me was because I didn't know anything about the companions and the story, so I was constantly surprised when meeting new characters. Needless to say, that's already too late now and I'm compromised, but maybe I'll start to forget stuff until October, heh.
However I will read previews because there still is the possibility that the game won't live up to the hype I have built up for myself and I want to know beforehand if that might be the case.
But I won't read the forums anymore. Too many too well informed people too willing to share spoilers without properly flagging them.
To fight the withdrawal, I'll replay DA:O, DA2, read "The Last Flight", reread "Asunder" and "The Masked Empire" and play around with the Keep, in that order. That should tide me over, if barely.

I won't be. Knowing locations, companions, romances etc. doesn't spoil anything for me; heck, this stuff is the kind of thing we used to get from game manuals before they died.
Only thing I'm making sure of is not to learn the plot, that is, I'm not going to do what I did for ME3 and read the leaked plot. Good or bad, I'd like to experience the game plot and decisions for myself.

No, I will only stop coming to this site once the game is in the hands of the media. I don't really like spoilers but conventions usually don't spoil too much in my experience but once the leaks start, which always happens, I will be gone. I also don't check out forums even after I played a game or when I am playing a game. Game forums are way too negative once a game is in the hands of us gamers. I can't stand all the negativity and it can actually kill my enjoyment of a game completely. Too many gamers nowadays make a game sounds worse than it actually is. I am really glad I played through ME3 before I even heard about the controversy.

What he said, minus the optimistic part.

No media blackout here. Sorry, you won't get rid of me that easily.

I will probably stay around until the game is released. I enjoy the discussions and I have a healthy curiosity, but I hate spoilers with all my heart. Especially if they are story related. Knowing the ending of Dragon Age 2 in advanced would have ruined the fun for me. So, I won't return until I have finished the game unless I am really, really stuck somewhere and need advice. But I hope that won't happen.

Nope. I'm going to gobble up every bit I can like a starved raccoon.
It helps that I actually know someone who's going to be able to go to E3 and go to the booths.

Short black out for me as I'm in Australia and we get the game a little after the US will. So only during that time. This includes talking to my friends who are atrocious when it comes to spoiling things for me...

Because of certain... things in my life (one's 14 the other's 21 and still living at home, both gamers) I barely remember breakfast! Spoiler me! I won't remember any of it come game release day! LOL

I'll see everything Bioware wants to show, but i'll try to avoid leaks, the forum, guides and twitch, until i can finished the game at least once.

Hell no, i live on spoilers...nothing would make me happier than another leaked script

Well I already regretted watching the 2nd trailer for DA:I, it had way too many things I didn't want to know about, so I'm not making the same mistake again. I'll follow E3 as usual with the exception of Inquisition's debut. Once E3 is done, I'll visit Game Informer because they don't make 20 articles saying the same thing like IGN. I'll skip anything story-related, knowledge of game-play and mechanics are fine to watch for me.

no. in case of DkS2 i knew what to expect in general from this game. however taking into consideration DA2 and ME3 i would like to know as much as possible before i make a purchase of DAI.

Well i live in Europe, and we have to wait 3 days after the initial release in the US and Canada.. So i'll definitely have to go off the grid then. Will probably be hard, but i don't want the entire game spoiled ![]()

No, I need to know if this game is worth the money they're charging for it or not.
I'd take a seeing a spoiler to find out if the game is crap over paying $60 to find out if the game is crap.

Not in the least, i'm not bothered by any prior knowledge i have of any game that i play nor do spoilers affect me at all so i'll be taking in every bit of information that i can

I am going to try to go on a blackout kinda. My kids are ok with spoilers so they can tell me what I want to know and leave the rest a mystery. I really just want info on our team and romance options. I don' t want to know the story. I also know I may cave. It's hard to stay away sometimes.

Closer to the time, yes. Probably a few weeks beforehand. I remember I sneaked a peek at the forums about a week before DA2's release and there was a thread entitled 'ANDERS BLOWS UP THE CHANTRY'.
Not making that mistake again!

I'll probably stop going on forums a couple of weeks before DAI comes out. As above I don't want to come across some troll posting end spoilers in the thread titles.
I really hate major plot and ending spoilers but knowing a bit about companions, locations, general story info (Inquisition, explosion and veil tears) and some gameplay like Crestwood doesn't bother me.
Info that Bioware releases usually never spoils anything for me so I'll follow the marketing and info until much closer to release.
