Another ignored factor is that DAI is in development for 5 formats and it's safe to assume that at least 2 in not all 5 versions of the game will need tailoring to each if they are not a slapdash porting job.
Frostbite 3 works well on both generations.
Of course, the Xbox360 and PS3 versions will be of significantly lesser quallity in techincal terms, though that's to be expected.

With 4 years development time, and an experienced, award-winning video game company from way back, I doubt the fact that the game will be in 5 different formats will make a huge difference to the quality of the game.
Third delay is the charm right?
But seriously they are already starting into marketing mode, another delay could be bad from certian stand points.
Has for the frostbite engine based on things will always be bugs with that one, but more condcern about the heavy moding the bioware devs did to it cause wasn't it more design for shooters? So we will have to see how bioware's version of frostbite 3 works no way of knowing that till the game is out
DAI still won't cross the line into Duke Nukem Forever or Half Life 3 territory where the fan base is too alienated or apathetic to purchase DAI if another delay is needed
People can laugh this off but I am getting the same feeling from the DAI trailers and other info releases that I had about when ME3 info was coming out. You guys just chalk it up to a lone crazy voice and say I have a "Cassandra Complex" when it comes to these things but to quote Star Wars "I have a bad feeling about this".
How are you properly equipped to assess the state of the game, though?
The game has already gone through a development delay - it was originally slated for late last year, if memory serves correctly.
Also, really? Beating the ME3 dead horse?
he beat me to the dead horse joke. but ya OP, you sound like u need a tissue or something. they said they wanted an extra month to polish it. if your going to do a massive delay then i would be worried, but it was only a month. chillaxe.

elitepinecone isnt.
Shareholders really don't like delays. A second delay would be a bad move for any developer.

I know, nobody here is.
So why do people feel entitled to give the studio advice about delaying their game?

Because DA2 & ME3 were bad and you should feel bad too if you enjoyed them.
Heck how you can believe someone who made those two game, the community clearly need to take the dev. decision in their hand even if they don't have the slighest idea of what they are saying and/or doing.

DA2 wasn't a bad game. However, it definitely had some flaws and needed more time in development, instead of Bioware being forced to rush it out of the door by EA, to ride on the coat-tails of the success of Origins. It's unfair to compare it to Origins because that game was in development for years, while DA2 had only one.
ME3 was also a good game and honestly, if it weren't for the ending, it'd probably be remembered a lot more fondly. 95% of the hate for that game comes from the ending alone, so it's unfair to use that as reason to dismiss the rest of the game, as it was actually a great story. Really, Leviathan needed to be in the game from the start as it really set up the ending instead of it coming out of left-field at the last minute, while the Extended Cut endings suggest to me that the game was once again rushed out of the door early by EA before they'd finished the ending.
It's unfair to tar Inquisition with the same brush as both those games, when we see that it's been given now over 18 months extra time to really get the game up to snuff, with more time now for races and extras that simply didn't exist in Spring of 2013, when it was supposed to come out.
And it's clear that EA has learnt from those colossal screw-ups (hopefully this lesson will stick) that part of the reason Bioware games are so beloved is because they have time and care put into them, so forcing them to rush them is an unsound business strategy and bad for both their reputations.
So why do people feel entitled to give the studio advice about delaying their game?
DA2 wasn't a bad game.
Let's be honest here, the worst part of Mass Effect 3 was the ending, which, is like, the last 25 minutes of a 20 to 25 hour long vanilla game. It still perplexes me why people dislike the entire Mass Effect series--a 100+ hour long series--for some reason now just because of the last 20 to 25 minutes of it.
I'm.... pretty sure they were being sarcastic.

Sweet Jesus, go a pet a fkn Cat. Just because you threw a Tantrum because you didn't get the happily ever after you wanted DOES NOT give you the right to demand a complete overhaul of a game. I can already tell, well before you post any sort of reply to this that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The Original Endings for Mass Effect were fantastic in my opinion, it is also an opinion shared by at least nine of my close friends.
In the case of DA2, blame EA, don't be heaping your own personal disappointment on Bioware when it wasn't their fault to being with. DA2 was, besides the recycling, a very good game.
Get off your High Horse and leave the thread if you have nothing contributory to the discussion.
Sorry for the OT rant.
