"If you slaughter a dozen ram, the population in the region will start to fall and other creatures will move in" - Mike Laidlaw

 

Have they stated anything other than that about culling the wildlife populations? Having other animals move in doesn't necessarily equate to negative for me.

Just read this article and am interested in what you guys think. I know a few people felt super bad hearing that dragon's cries of agony... so did I.

If other creatures move in, then your source of material (animal skin for crafting) will shift making it harder to attain.

When dragon's go around burning villages and harassing peoples lives i don't feel sorry for them. Think about it like this, would you rather save a dragon and it's babies(who will grow up and kill) or a family of humans trying to protect their children from being eaten or whatever. 

 

Being leader of the Inquisition, you'll have to do what's best for the people.. or maybe not.

 

In Game of Thrones, the queen chained her dragons because she knows that their nature is to kill and be wild. It hurts her, but she has to be a leader. 

 

Also, it's just a game guys, cmon....

Seems like some animals may take a long time to repopulate (if ever) if you hunt them too much and you might need their fur (or something) for crafting. That was the impression I got anyway. 

 

The article was interesting but it's not like those Dragons and their young weren't going to attack us and they probably are attacking others too. Also it sounds like you may not actually have to kill any Dragons from the way they have been talking about it.

God help this world if we are ever invaded.

 

"They want to exterminate us"

 

"BBBBBut did you hear it cry"

 

"It tried to KILL YOU"

 

"But that cry"

I agree. I think the article raises important points but I don't know if I would say it encourages that kind of thing in real life.

What a load of crap. That dragons trying to kill them. They're not "murdering it for the sake of murder." A group of people trying to survive is not better or worse(morally) then a dragon trying to survive(and protect its young).

Also that dragon was probably snacking on villagers. The inquisitor is doing exactly what the dragon is(protecting others)

Dragons, in the context of Dragon Age, are the apex predator. They've supposedly been extinct for years, and have now only just started to repopulate (or reappear), and they're ravaging the land and environments of humans and other animals. If you don't want to kill them in game, you absolutely reserve the right not to do it - I'm pretty sure those fights are mostly optional. But if a huge fire breathing sky lizard attacked me or my friends I'd probably happily kill it to defend myself. (And loot!!)

but i want to farm thousands of bunny furs with no impact... its a shift towards realism and a step in the right way of making so you pick and choose which premium crafting you want to do. most likely intended to not allow you to ge the best or everything. which makes the decision more of an impact and what people are looking for. bad for klepto's like me who need to get everything in one play thru.

I'd like an option to turn Dragon Age into How to Train your Dragon and befriend the dragons, not kill them :D

...but seeing as DA is not HttyD, and dragons are huge, dangerous wild animals, I think I'll kill them.

Im wondering if our hunting of animals will have an impact on any trophies we might have hanging in Skyhold Keep

I expect it's just a simple system that switches through various animals to repopulate an area with.

If I slaughter all the wolves, bunnies repopulate that region. If I slaughter all the bunnies, something else appears. If I kill that then wolves again.

Just leave it alone long enough and it will likely return to its base state.

I seethed with anger while watching a dragon being hunted in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Maybe it’s the lack of context; there’s been no opportunity to explain why this dragon is being hunted in a short walkthrough. Instead we’re being treated to what is essentially a blood sport. Murder for the sake of murder. Wounding an animal for the "pleasure" of maiming.


Oh boy.

I admid that I felt kind of bad, too. And the articel does indeed raise some interesting points.

I think BioWare used that scene to show the game mechanic, more specifically the fighting. If you don't want to kill the dragon there will probably be a way to avoid that. So I basically agree with BabyFratelli. However, I miss a druid character in Dragon Age, someone like Jaheira in Baldur's Gate. I always had Jaheira put a charm on any wild bears for example and then my group tried to move away quietly. I would prefere the option to calm wild animals down instead of killing them.

I very much doubt their will be "nicer" options to deal with these dragons, but I would generally feel sorry for that dragon in a role playing sense. I'm sure a lot of these dragons arent a direct threat to any major settlements, so can't we just leave them be? Honestly though I probably will kill them all for the loots and them inevitable achievements :'/

If that's the reaction people are having to the Dragon fight, then I hope the animators and sound designers are giving themselves a well deserved pat on the back for a job well done.

Here's a thought for you, The American President who single handily is considered the greatest conversationalist made all those national parks, so he could hunt in them...  Theodore Roosevelt.

Sometimes Hunting is Conservation.

Definitely good job on the devs - that sound work on the dragons is amazing. So many comments on how bad people felt hearing that.

That's kind of going into off topic.

I just worry that we're apparently expected to spend enough time killing the same type of animal for this to become relevant.

Will the dragon be in the game at the exact same spot ? Demo are usually very different.

I didn't like seeing the dragon in pain.

But dragons in DA are predators , they can live in some symbiosis with humans ...But humans have to be their servants.

Humans are also animals and like every animals they fight over their territory.

We do not have giant flying predators IRL , but if we did I'm pretty sure we would kill them.

Imagine humans living among agressive dinosaurs.
