If that's the case, I don't want any ME game anywhere near this engine.

 

The absence of jumping never bothered me in ME.

I was thinking the same. Please Bioware, please, restart the development of ME next, don't use Frostbyte. Use Unreal 4, Cryengine, hell even just use Unreal 3, but please no more Frostbyte, leave that to DICE, I know you said that was your decision to make DAI w/ Frosbyte but you have to admit that aside the visual galore, every other spec is suffering.

It's going to be FB3 because it's way cheaper to use since EA doesn't have to license it.

There were previously two Community Managers, Chris Priestly and Jessica Merizan. Chris worked the forums and Jessica handled the live events and other social media like the DragonAge Twitter account. Chris left Bioware not long after the ME3 ending disaster and some personal less-than-PC comments on his own Twitter account, totally unrelated to Bioware.

Jessica was mildly involved in the forums when they moved to their new "Bioware Forum" format, but has largely been as silent as she had been in the past.

As is typical Bioware fashion, most of their comments and responses can be found on Twitter. Every single person in this thread would be more likely to get a response by Tweeting Mark Darrah, Mike Laidlaw, Aaryn Flynn and/or the DA Twitter account directly than they ever would posting here on this forum.


Yup. Thinking of making a Twitter account purely for this purpose. Need answers.

Every EA game being made is to be on Frostbite.

Starting with all developers except sports franchises, which will be folded into Frostbite by 2017.



This is not speculation on my part.

I thought they had already fixed this bug.  I have not seen it in over 75 hours of game play

Here's a question -- why can't we bind extra mouse buttons? Mice with more than 2 buttons have been around for years now, and it seems pretty straightforward to ensure that the game's control scheme is compatible with these staple gaming devices. I just don't understand how you could test things and then release the game without this fairly basic functionality.

 

This is un-forgivable. The first game in this series, Origins, had this functionality.

This is just mind blowing. And one of those list threads in the Feedback forum don't even have this as a needed fix!

By the time a patch arrives, most of us will have finished the game./tinfoil hat


Some of us have been doing nothing but playing in the char creator for 2 weeks. :)

It's not fine. The design is terrible. My issue is that people are acting like it would be no big issue for them to have done it differently. It would have been. It would have been costly. And they should have paid the cost! But we won't have an honest conversation with Bioware about their design when they won't acknowledge the serious issues with the PC UI or when the fan base won't acknowledge the serious amount of work it would take and would have taken to get us the UI we deserve.
Don't confuse my frustration with the fan base rage with any sort of view that the KBM isn't garbage. The only reason I'm not more upset about it is that I was convinced the KBM UI would be terribleness ever since FB3 was announced as the engine.


This is a great post. There were so many signs, but I still do not believe what I am seeing/reading about on a daily basis.

I never would have believed Bioware could screw this up so badly.

I had faith their QA dept. would not approve a PC control scheme so poorly designed.

I had faith their testers would have some respect for the 1st two games in the series, and at certin pts use parts of their ui's.

I had faith their testers would be individuals who actually played the 1st two games and were familiar with them on PC.

This was a blindside.

I will start by saying that I adore BioWare and I actually quite enjoy Dragon Age Inquisition. After 5 hours of playing it is already far better game than DA2 was to me. 

Though some of the obvious console controls are really bugging the hell out of me. It's like there's even better game behind there, but it's under a mist. 

Tactic view is especially disappointing for somebody who played Origins on hardest difficulty and used tactical view 24/7. After the introduction of it on Inquisition I thought it was done deal and I would enjoy the game just because of the combat. After playing it became obvious that for us PC users it was extremely half assed. It's such a shame coming from such a monolithic PC dev house. Don't throw your most loyal fanbase away.

 

Origins is, and remains one of my favorite games, but most of all Inquisition raises questions on next Mass Effect on PC. Please BioWare. Don't fock that up. 

 

 

Performance has actually been good for me. Been able to run the game on ultra, 1080 without some of the higher end anti aliasing on my R9 280X. Being away, and so being able to buy the game just now with new AMD beta drivers (Catalyst 14.301) just updated might have helped me there.

This is the result of false "parity". After all, consoles don't have mice, so rebinding mice buttons can't be offered. It wouldn't be "fair" or "parity" to cater to one platform.

Lol, how would the console people feel if Bioware released the game where the entire right side of the controller was not usable. Thats effectively what has been done on PC.

The first one is absolutely not false, since it's a vague and general statement and pretty easy for any company to justify as being generally adequate for PC gameplay. The differences between the console and PC UI are painfully apparent and it clearly was created just for PC. The fact that it's a bad UI doesn't make the statement misleading.

The second one is painfully true. Click to move is a feature in the tactical camera, as is auto-attack. The camera can zoom in a comparable but not identical way to the DAO camera. Bioware wasn't suggesting the gameplay was isometric and then sold you an FPS. These fine gradations that are so important to you aren't even close to being a basis for a consumer complaint regarding false advertising.

There's absolutely no basis for a complaint to the FTC. The regulator isn't here for "the product is essentially what was advertised" situations where consumers feel the quality is subpar. The regulator is here for patently false advertising that induced a purchase - the equivalent would be Bioware saying DAI works on dual core CPUs when they knew very well it didn't.

You're free to believe what you'd like to believe. But this is a situation where your lack of familiarity with what the FTC does and your very intimate familiarity with DAO is leading you astray.

 

While I am willing to consider your first point, I disagree with the second as it was specifically phrased to appeal to those who were intimately familiar with DAO. And while I am, admittedly, not intimately familiar with the particulars of the FTC, having read the stipulations it does seem there is some basis for complaint. It is at least more substantive that the complaints raised against ME3, which for all its faults did run well at release.

I would Pay another $70 to hear the actual reason for this from a Bioware representative.

They make more money with consoles. So, the priority is consoles.

I think we need to bleed one of them and draw demonic circles with the blood, we have more chances getting answers that way.

I'd actually question the validity of that. Have we seen any actual profit numbers that include digital transactions?

And anyway, that's not the point. This is a basic functionality that's been the standard in pc games for a decade. Like somebody said, it's the equivalent of making a console game that does not allow you use the basic inputs. What would ps4 players say if they could not use the shoulder buttons? And had to make use of difficult to use multi-button combos to do subtle things in the game?

BIOWARE! When are you going to fix the flickering issues with nvidia SLI?! Also, when you make a PC RPG that plays better with a 360 controller instead of K&M, you know you did something wrong.

 

great game, but terrible technical issues that were too easily overlooked.

If such a thing occurred on PS4, I'm quite certain there would be a swifter response from BioWare than we've seen here.
