Awesome.  If you've seen my stance on it you'll know I've said just that in the past - not that it made any difference.  I mean, in the post you quote I state straight up that it was a mistake, but again not that it made any difference.

 

The main reason why I framed it like that is because I was leaving open the possibility that it's seen as an easter egg scene and not intended to be seen as a distinct ending - but obviously fans see it otherwise (which is fine, authorial intent doesn't matter all that much once it's out the door and in the public's hands.  I didn't work on the game so I couldn't say for sure the motivations behind the scene)...........

Edit:

snipped for sanity........

Personally for me and I suspect for others too what makes it such a big issue was that a potential piece of SP content was tied by extension of Galactic Readiness to MP, what concerns me most is that not only did someone at BW think up this idea which was bad enough but it was then compounded by being green lighted. When SP should have been completely and utterly isolated from the MP by also not having Galactic Readiness linked in anyway to MP at all.

 

While Mass Effect and Dragon Age are apparently done by different teams at different studio's factor in this past unforgivable monumental error,The current "wall of silence" around whether or not DAI has MP and parent company EA's notorious history of "every game must have MP,timed exclusivity deals and Micro Transactions" people are rightly and vocally concerned that this will happen again, I appreciate Bioware would not want to get themselves in a situation where people would cancel their pre orders or request full refunds on masse,but right now not confirming its existence or lack of is doing more harm than good.

Who wants to play my BSN drinking game: every time you read hyperbole you....don't do anything because even taking a sip of alcohol would kill you within minutes.

I think it is the presence of the Behemoth for the Red Templars it just seems that they needed a big monster boss for their faction and put it in there.
Now this is Bioware so the story around the Red Templars could be great and give a reason for the Behemoths that makes sense.


The presence of the behemoth is pretty obviously explained by the fact that it is a human affected by red lyrium, just like a dwarf becomes a profane.

I'm so aggravated and shocked and disgusted I called the fire department!

 

Or maybe because in my excitement I lit my building on fire.

"Everything will be accessible by playing, and EA and BioWare are not planning a subscription plan for the multiplayer. For those that wish to speed things up, currency is available to purchase, but add-ons like heroes will be delivered in free updates."

Wish to speed things up? What on earth does that mean?
And add-on heroes... So no making a character. Overall meh, glad it's separate and I might play it with some friends if I'm really bored I guess.

:)  :)  :)  :) Yay

 

Sounds quite different from single player. Not at all focused on story or conversation. Even the gameplay sounds different... 

 

"The real-time combat doesn’t allow for Inquisition’s tactical camera, but instead requires careful coordination of magical buffs, timely heals, area-of-effect slows, damage-over-time grenades, and ranged-fire coverage as broadsword-wielding fighters assault enemies in an area."

 

So it might be a lot like ME3 multiplayer with a DA setting? Not that that is a bad thing at all (I still play that), just not quite what I expected.

I'd guess buying packs like in ME3 with irl money.

It means that you unlock things (characters, weapons etc) by either playing the game or spending money or both.

Like how in a game like BF you can just buy all the stuff instead of spending 200 hours unlocking it.

I AM LITERALLY SHAKING AND TEARING UP RIGHT NOW.

 

ME3MP WAS SO MUCH FUN... AND NOW I GET TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

 

I just... I just can hardly type, I'm trembling. I know that sounds stupid, but this literally just sealed the cap on DAI sounding like it'll have everything I've ever wanted in a perfect video game.

 

I'M DYING.

 

I cannot WAIT to start a DAI MP Resource Library (like my ME3MP one in my sig below) once the game drops and we start digging into it and all the mechanics and builds and advice and... :D :D :D
