Perhaps, but I'll be fighting an endless rearguard action to my dying breath.  On this front, and also on the "I could care less" front.  Ugh. 

Gah! :(

 

And yes I have played both Witcher 1 and 2 and read the books and actually had the third on pre-order before it marginally lost out to DA:I. And yes I enjoyed them and I thought the stories were great.

YMMV, as always, though.

I couldn't care more about "I could care less."

I'm with you in spirit.

I'm not sure how well Inquisition is selling, I honestly don't care. I personally think this series is just about dead. You can even tell by these forums that things have slowed down. Bioware refuses to go back to what worked and the majority of people are getting sick of it. Every game that EA produces releases with some tacked on garbage multiplayer with microtransactions. The entire business model is designed around scamming people while nickel and diming them and it's all perfectly legal.

 

EA is a cancer preying on this industry. It literally destroys everything it touches. And the best part? After nickel and diming all their customers, they can't even pay an American to answer your support ticket when you have an issue. All that money and you can't pay someone an honest wage to answer your phone? I have to commincate with someone half way across the world so you can pay them $1 a day? The greed knows no end and people continue to defend them and Bioware.

 

Let's face it, we're never going to get a real RPG out of this developer again. Once the doctors left it was all over. We all knew Bioware sold their soul to EA to make that garbage mmo that nobody even talks about anymore. Long live indy devs. One day scum publishers like EA will be irrelevant.

You again? What happend to your other thread? I dont get you pepole you dont HAVE to play DAI, you dont like DA universe and think it should end, dont end it for us, just go away.

It's interesting the use of diseases as metaphors, in Spanish forums AIDS is used normally instead of cancer.

I don't believe that's proper grammar. "Literally" is an adverb, but you seem to be using it as an adjective.

EA is LITERALLY Cancer. I'm not sure many here would disagree.

 

As someone whose father has LITERALLY died of cancer right before their eyes, I'm somewhat inclined to disagree.

 

If video games makes you so salty, I sure as hell hope you never have to deal with actual problems in your life.

At OP:  NO, NO, NO, NO.  You have your opinion and are entitled to it.  It happens to be different than the opinion I (and many other people) have.

 

I love DAI and have put nearly 300 hours (276 to be exact) into it already (and will probably put many times that before I'm satisfied that I've seen the majority of the content).  Does it have places it could improve - yes.  Is it an overall satisfying roleplaying experience with a good story - yes.  Are the Bioware forums dying because of it - NO.  I have no idea what you are looking at  but the Solas thread alone moves 30-40 pages a day and I can't keep up.  Is the overall opinion of the game bad - NO.  Look at all the awards and positive fan feedback it has won.  The Bioware forums tend to be the most critical of their games because those of us on the forums tend to be the fans that are most invested in the games, many of us have played all of them, read the books, the comic, own the collectors edition prima guides, art books and lore books.   With all the information out there we all have a vision of what it could be, and no two visions are alike. 

 

If you don't enjoy the game, don't play it.  My husband tried Mass Effect and didn't care for it but my oldest son loves it.  They both love "Shadows of Mordor" which I do not care for at all.  Everyone has their own preferences and it is okay to not like something.  But please don't try to speak for others, you have no idea what they like. 

 

Things that I personally would like to see change (but I may be unique in my opinion).

 

1) Mix of fetch quests and deeper, multitask quests with more story behind them (some of the Elvhen shrine quests were good in this respect).

2) More pure exploration with no quest to drive you there (and fewer unreachable places within each map)  

3) End boss battle did not really feel climactic enough - needed to be harder or have more story beats before you reached it.  Although, as a setup for future games it was incredibly effective (Solas what are you doing?)

4) Randomized wares from each merchant (at least to a point)

5) More ability to interact with the objects in the environment (stack objects to reach things, ect.)

6) Needs to be harder (haven't played Nightmare yet so I may change my mind, but hard difficulty at least presented some challenge in previous games).

7) I would like a storage chest so I don't have to get rid of unique items (Iron Bull's sword, ect)

 

 

Things I though were great (again, personal opinion).

1) Companions - always a Bioware strength.

2) Lore - the depth of lore was fantastic.  I loved the exploration of Elvhen lore particularly.

3) Crafting - I spend way to much time in the Undercroft.  And the whole party should wear "hat of the Inquisitor" because it is awesome - who cares about stats?

4) Story that makes you care.  Another Bioware strength

5) The quests where you had real choices did matter to the story line

6) Recognition of previous world states.  The Keep is great and I love seeing how my Warden and Hawke changed things.

7) Cliffhanger - I can't wait to see what happens next, SOLAS.

How dare you sir! I am not a loud weirdo. I am a man! I have an opinion!

 

I shall not take your ridicule and derailing of on railed proper threads. I demand action! Screw it, I'm going to play Gta 5.

 

  1. I have an opinion.
    Of that no-one can be unaware !
     
  2. I shall not take your ridicule...
    I'm sorry, you entirely invited it with your senseless post.

It's done as far as I am concerned.

DA:O is the only good game of the series...

 

The DA went down hill after the original, DA:A & DA:2 both felt rushed, coincidently they both were fully developed under EA, whilst the majority of the original game was done before EA's takeover.

Now, this DA:I monstrosity a half breed hybrid game that tries to cater to the masses, elements of MMO/Action RPG/Roleplaying RPG severely dumbed down to attracts the casuals. This game is EA to a tee, tries to appeal to everyone to create more sales but fails badly at everything, only the die hards & paid off defend this game.

 

Bioware is dead.

that's it, I'm writing a complaint to EA, it's been weeks now and I still haven't received the cheque they owe me.

 

I mean why else would I enjoy DA:I?

Out of curiosity, who's paying you to come here and post? I mean, surely if, as you say, you lost interest in the series after DA O, and didn't like Awakening, you'd have quit spending your own money on the games, so who's buying them for you, and paying you to come here and be a detractor? I've got my tinfoil hat firmly in place, how about you?

I don't think I qualified as a diehard because I couldn't get into Baldur's Gate and enjoyed DA2 as much as DA:O. 

 

There are so many requirements for diehard these days, it's hard to pass the test.

The most hyperbolic threads and posts tend to come from people who dislike the game.

But why?

So you don't like it, good for you, but why the need to over-dramatically evangelise the fact to everyone else and then without a shred of irony accuse people who do like and just respond to threads/posts of being over-vocal and "paid up" in their responses.

 

What is it?

Do you feel that you have to prove something? I mean read your post, read what you wrote, that's not a post on a forum - that's a headline and part of an opinion piece on an overly serious news site. Seriously that post is so shrill and over-loud in the drama stakes I literally had to turn the volume on my speakers down.

Well, I for one like good games. But I'm not into bad games really.

Maybe this thread title should have been 'should I be done with dragon age' rather than 'should dragon age be done'.

 

I'm having a total blast with this game.
