Well well....it might be speculation, but I would not at all be surprised if they moved on to other projects whilst making a feeble attempt at keeping the MP garbage alive.
Bioware has quite thoroughly lost the plot, haven't they!
Congratulations, EA!
Ah.. but will they also lose ME4?

I think at this point, a good deal of people in this thread don't give a **** about Mass Effect 4. Or EA in general anymore. I hate to say it, but I think people have started to accept the piece of garbage DAI is, have uninstalled it, and either gone back to the good games of old or just moved on to other games altogether to forget the nightmare this game is.

I've pretty much moved on from DAI dont feel inclined to play for more than a hour once a week now, that time will be cut in half when GTA V is released, like wont play DAI at all once Witcher 3 comes out.Will likely still buy any future Dragon Age books/comics if future games are as bad a PC port as DAI is then I'm done with the franchise and EA since it was the only franchise in their company that I was interested in

Recorded recently at Bioware headquarters.
A troubled Bioware lead designer was heard....
Troubled Bioware Designer
Yet there's a spot.
RPG Fan
Hark! he speaks. I will set down what comes
from him, to satisfy my remembrance the more
strongly.
Troubled Bioware Designer
Out, damned spot! out, I say!—One: two: why,
then, 'tis time to do't.—Hell is murky!—Fie, my
lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we
fear who knows it, when none can call our power
to account?—Yet who would have thought Dragons Age Origins had so much blood in
it?
And Inon Zur's music; where is it now?
What, will these hands ne'er be clean?—No more o'
that, my lord, no more o' that: you mar all with
this starting.
Here's
the smell of the blood still. All the
perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this
little hand. O, O, O!
RPG Fan
What a sigh is there! The heart is sorely
charg'd.
Troubled Bioware Designer
Wash your hands, put on your DA2 hoody;
look not so pale.—I tell you yet again, Brent Knowles is
buried; he cannot come out his grave.
To copy and paste, to copy and paste! There's fresh reviewers at the gate:
come, come, come, Gaider, give me your hand. What's
done cannot be undone.—to DA3, to DA3, to DA3!
So there's some misunderstanding here.
I have indeed played both DAO and DA2. I didn't play them after the game shipped.
On DAO I learned that there was a save cap on the PC (I think it was 500) because my job for the first two weeks was literally "play the game content and get familiar with it." I reached that cap twice on that playthrough. Just off the top of my head I know I played through until the end at least 5 times because of some of the achievement testing that I did. I probably played through Ostagar at least 200 times (unsurprisingly when the game was released and I tried playing it, I stopped as soon as I got to Ostagar).
DA2 was a game I worked on from earlier in the project (as opposed to DAO). Again I played through the entire game at least 5 times. And that is in its finished state. I'm not really able to talk about how many times I played through content because the number borders on some level of "immeasurably high." Ranging from unfinished, grey checkboard floors with "BAD TEXTURE" plastered everywhere because some textures just weren't done, all the way through until the finished product. I actually didn't even bother installing it after release because I had just played it so much and felt little interest in playing through it again.
Both games I feel comfortable enough saying I spent 500-1000 hours in shipped game content (and probably as much in test content).
I worked on DAI for three years. I also spent hundreds of hours in the game prerelease. But for whatever intangible reason (multiplayer does play a small part, since I do play with friends on occasion, and there were large parts of the narrative I hadn't seen that I was curious about), I looked forward to playing the game again after release and I did. My preferred platform for all three games is also the PC and I stand by the statement that I am proud of DAI (as I am DAO and DA2).
I understand that the people in this thread are not happy with the product they received which is unfortunate, but please do not misrepresent my statements.
He states that DA:I is the first he played "after release", meaning it is the first Dragon Age game that he played while not at work. It doesn't mean he didn't play Origins or DA2, he simply did not continue to play them after they were released.
Thank you. This is indeed an accurate description of my experience with the games. I appreciate you taking the time to point this out.

Personally having a great time in game, and have little that requires a fix. However, would like to see the sub-titles return during in close and cut-scene dialogue, as it hard to hear with some VO's and positioning.
Yeah, if you are into single player mmorpg-s for consoles, this game is one of the best if not the best of the category for you. PC tough... not so sure, the concept of combat and its control for PC is nonexistent because this is a game made for consoles players who need to mash their 4 little buttons in order to maximize fun. But agee, some voices are really low in some cut-scenes, THAT totally ruins the game.
So there's some misunderstanding here.

Thank you for posting Allan, as many of us on this thread didn't think BW/EA actually cared at all what we had to say here. Maybe they actually don't, but thats a separate issue.
Can you comment as to whether the grievances on the design decisions in this thread are actually being discussed at the company? I'm not looking to have affirmation that they view those grievances positively or negatively, but whether they are even considering them as existing.
So there's some misunderstanding here.

having read your post it begs the question of why was so much of the PC functionality from DAO and DA2 stripped out of DAI?
The reasons people including me are not happy with DAI are because it was marketed as "made by PC Gamers for PC Gamers" I was considering cancelling my pre-order until I saw that video but then when I load up the game I find to my horror these issues:
1)The Tac Cam is a mess, it does not zoom out far enough and gets stuck on scenery to name but 2 issues with this 1 feature.
2)The M/KB control scheme is a awkward convoluted mess.
3)The ability bar is limited to 8 slots for no good reason.
4)The scaling of the whole UI is just terrible for PC Players.
5)Contrary to what the marketing video claims the PC UI is not "custom" its quite clear that the 2 stage ability diamond and the radial menu from the console port was just laid out in a horizontal bar and slapped on screen.
6)Each and every patch has fixed none of the issues PC Gamers have and have made the game less and less playable.
There are a whole bunch of other issues that have already been mentioned but the short of it is that we were told this would be a PC Game and what we got is a terrible console port that would give Ubisoft a run for its money in making poor PC ports of Multi-Platform titles.I would have returned it inside the 24hr window but kept it based on your companies "assurances" that issues would be addressed and nearly 3 months later they haven't and don't look like they ever will be so now I'm stuck with a game I paid £60($90) is not as advertised for and I can't return it,words can not describe how annoyed I am with Bioware which says alot for someone who has bought DAO:UE and DA2 twice along with all the DLC and all the books twice and all the comics.
The game is so badly done that i have to stop playing after 20 minutes to avoid throwing my keyboard through my monitor.If major inroads are not made into giving us a decent PC port of DAI by the release of The Witcher 3 then this will be the last Dragon Age game I ever purchase because in hindsight DAI in the state its in I would not give you $20 for it never mind $60-$90.
He states that DA:I is the first he played "after release", meaning it is the first Dragon Age game that he played while not at work. It doesn't mean he didn't play Origins or DA2, he simply did not continue to play them after they were released.
Which means he didn't like it, if what he says - on a MP thread first btw; MP, where micro-transactions = money for EA is/are, not complete bull*****.
Sorry, damage control PR and Cover Your Ass talk.
So...
Sorry, M. Schumacher, but it's too late.

Thank you for clarifying that Allan.
Three years and hundreds of hours ...
THIS makes it all the more baffling to me how some aspects of DA:I could have in any way been thought acceptable.
Especially when compared to DA:O and DA:2, and I can't believe I'm using DA:2 as a "good" example.
Tac-cam?
Tactics?
Mouse and keyboard?
Walk toggle?
Banter bug?
CTD's and assorted crashes?
Stuttering?
SLI fog?
etc.
etc.
After three years and hundreds of hours of play testing (and this was just you) ... how is it that all these problems were foisted off on us?
There is indeed quite a bit done well in DA:I (imo) but it is buried under so much that is just plain wrong ...
So there's some misunderstanding here.

Mr. Schumacher, even though the odds that this post will be either seen or addressed by you are functionally zero, I'd yet like to extend my personal and sincere thanks to you that you could hold your nose long enough to pop in to defend yourself over what could be seen as a practical non-issue. It's only been a month since you last engaged herein and frankly, the absence was becoming palpable. We can all certainly appreciate not liking misrepresentation and rumour running wild. This engagement certainly ...engages. That you clarified your position on the above quoted is to your credit. That you had the time to do so is also likely to your credit.
That you thought it important enough to address while pretty much seemingly ignoring the 490+ pages of other concerns on this particular thread is rather disheartening. Granted, you would have had to have actually read through the thing and you are no doubt a busy man. Second, you would likely be exhorted by your customers to address concerns about the deficiencies they've noted in your latest offering:
...endless crashes, some so frequent and severe that for many the game cannot even be played at all; the rather large bug that renders harvesting and mining impossible (you can certainly collect truckloads of materials, the req tables simply refuses to recognize that you have) and thus finishing the game without a trainer is likewise impossible, the patches that don't really seem to fix much of anything amongst the many, many other things making DA:I less than the fantabulous experience on the PC you and so many others seem to be undergoing - with your handy happy controllers, no doubt - and that would take time you so obviously do not have (other than the time you squeezed so valiantly from your busy day to address the quoted concern), so more's the pity.
That, of course, is hardly your fault.
Also, from what one can mine from this particular thread, that isn't our fault either.
Three months in (and what, a month vacation? That's sweet. That's three weeks longer than anyone else other than politicos get. Sweet gig!) and so far the 'engagement' (although not in this thread) is 'you're toxic and we must be defended and made safe', 'play nice or you'll be sorrrreee' and 'your opinions are fine as long as you don't say anything we personally don't like', and now: 'yeah, well I did, so you can shut up about it'.
It's on a personal level and it humanizes you. It's the glad-handing and the common touch stuff that allows us all to connect. It certainly feels authentic.
But...
...the echoes keep ringing behind you.
We just wanna play the damn game. It's just looking more and more as three months hurtle to four that none of you care if we do or not. It starting to feel like we're in a relationship where you just don't love us anymore. For my part, I'd rather just have y'all tell me to go eff myself instead of trying to milk me for one more month's rent.
At least that'd be honest.
^^ Well said!

I have enjoyed all of the DA series. (It was an issue with another EA title that got me into it, they wanted to give me a couple of free expansions for that gameas payment for nearly a year spent working out a server issue with high latency - satellite- connections. I already owned all of the expansions so, they asked what type of games I liked and, we settled on a free copy of DAO+DLC. I loved the game, and have since bought DA2 and DAI.)
I love playing DAI, sure a few things need a little work but, it's new and, y'all can't work on everything at once. My personal two biggest wishes are UI improvements - more ability slots and/or optional additional hot bars (even if they are click to activate buttons only IF we can drop abilities into the keyed slots that are now potions, mount and other commands. Next would be allowing the camera to zoom out about 5 to 10% further before engaging tac cam - some rifts need a bit longer view. Even if the graphics got a bit wonky at that zoom, as long as the rifts were more easily visible on screen during combat, I'd be happy.
Overall, you (the entire team) did well. Never going to please everyone 100%. Yes, if I were designing this thing, I'd have done some things differently but, I think every one of us here can say that. There is nothing I CAN'T adapt to, a couple of things I'd rather not have to adapt to (lack of ability slots and not enough zoom out, the hold command not working as I want it to work but, those things aren't detracting form my enjoyment of the game so, I will hope for improvements and, be content to adapt (or avoid content that requires a better hold command fo me to do w/o getting aggravated and raging at the game - it doesn't listen very well LOL.) Not a big deal.
Haters gonna hate, Dubya75,
but to me all youve written sounds like "bla, bla, bla .."
You could even understand properly that my son represents most of the actual generation that will know bioware and ea for this last game (aside he IS the most important costumer to my money, get it?). You have a huge problem of understanding ... and a poor vision about children education ...
but ... keep going your pro bioware rant ... maybe you will receive some free dlc for "colaboration".
OK, first of all, DAI has a mature rating of 17+, in case you failed to notice. And you let your 7 year old child play it? Awesome parenting there!
Secondly, it would be quite arrogant to imagine that your child (which is not at all the targeted audience) is Bioware's most important client. This is simply not the case - sorry to burst your bubble.
EA/Bioware runs a business - it is about NUMBERS, nothing else. You bought the game. They win.
You are absolutely delusional if you think this little attempt at emotional manipulation (using your child, which is quite disgusting, really) is going to have people at Bioware throw their hands in their air, crying about losing "their most important client".
Your child should be playing outside, strengthening his bones and muscles, soaking up essential sunlight so his body can synthesize essential vitamin D, critical to his long term health!
Honestly, what world do you live in? My advice to you: Wake up.

My preferred platform for all three games is also the PC and I stand by the statement that I am proud of DAI (as I am DAO and DA2).
I understand that the people in this thread are not happy with the product they received which is unfortunate, but please do not misrepresent my statements.
Thank you. This is indeed an accurate description of my experience with the games. I appreciate you taking the time to point this out.

Holy crap, how could you even consider the UI, the controls and the tac cam being little more than utter garbage? Do i need to repost that vid when you people say it's "just like in origins" while speaking about the tac cam? Because it's not, it's pure unadulterated piece of crap, that's what it is and it makes the game unenjoyable (mainly because IT'S BEING BLOCKED BY FRIGGIN ROCKS AND CEILINGS). Not even beginning to address the sh!itty consolesque UI where you hastily slapped a hotbar (without detailed tooltips) and called it a "PC UI"....

like a creature from the black lagoon, it rises and graces us with its presence before quickly returning to the depth from which it came and us not knowing when it will make contact with us again 
Have 530+ hrs with Tac-Cam and KB&M thus far with little trouble. No .gif required....
Is this supposed to mean anything at all?

Congratulations.
You've managed nearly twenty-three full days of play. Flawlessly. No doubt attributed to your sterling character and excellently thesaurusly-fueled diction. Not to mention your insistence on flaunting this sad statistic of yours anywhere you scent dissension or dissatisfaction.
You've contributed. Thank you.
You are now unnecessary.
