Yeah I kinda agree... ![]()
But now we also see that this thread is also being watched somewhat... I do hope everything will work out though, I'm eager to play DA:I more properly. It has it's good bits still, but I want it to be more complete! ![]()

Take it from first-hand experience (i have 5 warnings) that mod03 is the deadliest mod of them all. Don't engage that mod or you're gonna have a bad time lol. He will straight up ban you even if there is too much truth in your post about the state of the game. He/she has done it to me like 3 times in a row now.

sorry I checked double-checked and its mod02 that you need to watch out for. My bad.

Didn't even record what he banned me for in november. Just decided to do it for the hell of it. Decided to leave their mod name out too. The only justifiable ban I've had was the most recent one, the other 4 were literally for spreading the truth about the game.

The illusion of democracy is a for more powerful tool than the certainty of a dictatorship. The best way to control people is by giving them the illusion of freedom. They will do all you want and still believe it was their choice. They just hunt "outlaws" aka people with free-will in the name of the order and the greater good and the others will even thank them for that. Dictatorship with the illusion of democracy. PERFECT!

All you need to know
I do like the creatures, they look awesome
The vaporising bodies (seeing a giant corpse just vanish into thin air) is still stupid, but this limitation is normal in many games, hopefully it'll be modded.
The reactive combat I am not a fan of in Dragon Age
It's good in an action game like Mass Effect (obviously I love Mass Effect), but Dragon Age is a very different party based game, we used to have customizable tactics for crying out loud!! ![]()
do we know when will the beta-testing end? Is there a time frame?
Hope I get to continue the beta till launch of patch 5, don't want to part with auto-attack, it made combat as my warrior a lot better ![]()

I'm not sure when the beta testing is done, but I'm done. I see a lot of improvement, but I can't bring myself to play another round until the controls are made right like Origins and DA2. It's a damn chore to play and I got sleepy out in the Western Wastes. It's a lot of untapped potential that is going to fill in with DLC. They just need to fix the controls sooner than later. Patch 6 better be controls.
Hopefully, that says as much to the dev's taking part in the beta as the feedback I know you guys have been giving in there has.
Was it Dubya that mentioned he thought this patch would be Bio's last for this game? I really hope that is not the case....

I was glad they threw out the rpg nonsense in Mass Effect. When you shoot things up TPS style in space, you dont need a backpack for junk and boring statpoints. It wouldnt have fit the Ocean's twelve (ME2) and later the Space Jesus (ME3) theme anyway. But i actually "used" my squadmates in ME3 more than i have my party in DAI. Your party is just for the show in inquisition except you cant even talk to them while you are out there. It begs the question: whats the point? Because its the Bioware tradition so od it anyway? Thats just not ok. When Josh shows us the combat and he has not a single party member on the screen... Should have gone screaming and never came back to buy the game.

Success? Having to basically redo a whole version of a AAA game and try (again, after ME3) to restore brand image and value by asking the community for help, five months after release, is not my definition of a successful launch.
5 months? Want to explain that math to me?

Wow, this thread is moving farther and farther away from its original intent for every post made.
I'm not sure what people expect to accomplish by making this into an "anti-Bioware"-thread, but I'm fairly certain it's not going to help with the issues at hand.
Then again, the 150ish contributors to this thread don't exactly make up the majority of Bioware's customer base. Or even the majority of their PC customer base.
For the few remaining followers of this thread who are more interested in solutions than attacking Bioware, do what I did (for Darksiders II, actually) - buy a controller. It'll expand your potential game library, it's comfortable to use, and you'll be able to enjoy what is widely regarded as the best game of 2014 in the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
And, contrary to popular belief, buying a controller will neither instantly turn you into a Call of Duty-loving 14-year-old with bad skin, nor turn your PC into a console. The power of the PC lies in its flexibility - the fact that we have every option the console peasants have (including playing with a controller), plus a whole helluva lot more.
"buy a controller"!? Regarding mouse / keyboard controls you're telling people to buy a controller!?!? .... I can't... I don't....

You keep breaking it all down to a bit and take it out and enlarge it. Yes, I said I was disappointed too, I even said earlier that DA:O is my favourite game of all time. I'm not disconnected, I know what you feel, I feel so too. It's just that... Why the anger?
I'm just saying getting mad and attacking them about it doesn't help at all!
Also that no matter what you think is right, there's also an other side of the coin that thinks their side is right too.
Why the anger?
What do you feel when you are lied to, deceived, conned, taken advantage of, defrauded, etc., etc.?
Disappointed? That's it ... disappointed?
Ah, but yourself and EAware have very different interpretations of "lie" and "deceive" than we do.
Maybe this will help:
http://www.merriam-w.../dictionary/lie
http://www.merriam-w...tionary/deceive
Now go check out all those promotional videos, dev blogs, etc. again.
Do you see it now?
The "other side of the coin" knew EXACTLY what they were doing. (check those definitions again)
I agree that getting mad and attacking them doesn't help, but it is cathartic for some.
In the mean-time:
EA would like to thank all the apologists here for your support and continuing willingness to pay more for less.
They ask that you further support their efforts to streamline their revenue flow by sending them your banking and credit card information so they can dispense with even the pretense of making a game and just help themselves to your money.

That's not the point I was making!
Clearly the communication has been cut off, who's to blame? Both parties, if any. But I'm not trying to throw blame on you or anything, all that I'm saying there's much more behind it all than you can possibly know. You have to be in their shoes to truly see how it is, hell even I need so too... Because I don't know for certain and neither do you. You can't really take their words and/or minds and twist it in a way that they'd seem they're to hurt you personally, they're not out to get you! Why would they? They'd want people to love their work they've put years in (not saying you shouldn't come with negative feedback and that we should all praise them blindly instead...
).
They never lied to any of us in a sense, as what they said with things like "By PC gamers for PC gamers", that's just an opinion, not a lie. That's you who's twisting it into a lie. They believed they were on right enough track as they could get by the time they had...! I'm pretty sure they regret some of the decisions they made or couldn't make in time, as something you make are never really done... I'm that way too with stuff I make (not saying all of them are though, but it's very common).
That's one reason deadlines also exists, to get to the goal, and it'll most likely come out in some disappointments, like we see here. But things can change and they're trying to please us now (better late than never, no?), I'm sure glad they've seen and I'm hopeful that it'll come true. Will I get mad if it doesn't? No, maybe a bit frustrated. But I wouldn't want to attack the developers, telling them they're stupid, in what they believe is right for the game...
I still do agree on these PC disappointments with you! But my point is that there's never a good reason to bash and blame someone that you got mad about at a said thing they did with their own product (unless, I guess it'd poison your body)! Nothing good will come from it. Buying something is always a gamble, it can be broke, it can be the best thing ever, you just can't know for certain if it's something you'll like (neither can those who made it). But please, do still come with negative feedback and what not, just no trash talk!
Yeah I'm going to agree with you on this. We've been complaining Bioware haven't been communicating enough on these forums, well no wonder with the beehive BSN can be. I always do like a good discussion, but online anonymity has the downside of people cloaking themselves while throwing bile and hatred as if rage was the only thing they knew ![]()
We have to remember there are people who put years of work into Inquisition, trying to make it the best they could. It's fine that we don't like some of the features and give negative feedback, but we should stop with the personal attacks, nothing good will come from it.

<<< Knows better than to try the anonymity cloak thing around here - EA knows too much, if the Bioware division wanted my info, I'm sure a brief search on the computers would provide detail we all know don't belong posted. ![]()
Yes the game has problems and needs adjustments/improvements in some areas and, with some hardware that should be more than okay with the game. It isn't perfect. It also isn't horrible, combat is okay, tactics could offer more control, the PC UI needs work, we need mouse binding, mages could use more ability slots especially, all classes would benefit but, mages are the most hampered by only 8 slots. Qunari need armors fixed so they display properly, need a bit more variety in armor and, need at least one or two craftable helms or vitaars. And there is more I'd like, minor things but, still things that would make the game better IMO.
I don't know what all is in the works or planned for the future but, I'm sure a good deal of what I and, others would like to see is at least being considered and looked into. Maybe some things can't reasonably be done and, that's fine I just hope that, after a few more patches and additions, they tell us what can't be done. I'd rather know that's how it is and that's how it will stay than hope for a change - then I can adapt and accept what is easier than if I think it might change.
I do know that the next patch and, the beta program are steps in the right direction and, Bioware should get kudos for that. (NOTE STEPS, not all the way there yet but, going the right way.)

Lets see how this attitude will work out for them when the DLC-s hit.
"We dont give a damn about your toxic *inappropriate word* but we expect you to stay in line next time we want to receive the money from you again".
Thats the mentality here and you are saying way to go.
There is some truth to Jlrec's post tough. Its what like 150-200 posters went through here? The majority is out there long forgotten this and the game is likely remembered as piece of garbage from 2014 never should have been bought. And does not matter what Bioware says here it will not change their mind. When 2015's hits will be coming out this thread and game with it will be left to its death. Noone in their right mind will pay for DLC-s for this instead.

Oh well im done, i consider this game as money down the drain, in future will wait for a few months before i consider their products basing my decision on feedback. Besides even if they do manage to fix the controls and whatnot the game itself is a soulless product designed by a check-list approach like ubisofts games.
Will pop around to see how the next mass effect is, if i hear good things we shall see.
