I enjoy the Witcher series and look forward to the next one. I do find it quite different from Dragon Age but equally as enjoyable. I would love DA:I to have a few more lite dlcs - free or other wise.  I would love to do some silly stuff like store gear I don't want to sell, fix up the Keep - and give Cullen a roof, allow some different colors for armor and the Quizzy PJs, have some new hair dos,  wear a pretty party dress to the Ball, and most of all allow my poor advisors to have a change of clothes....they stink bad.....

...I find copying and pasting the same lists over and over again dumbed down...

 

Another Bioware fanboy who says all Bioware games are great instead of acting like a paying customer and voicing real obvious critizisms about the DAI game

 

 

Look at the all the threads and posts here.

 

 

What does that tell you????

 

 

We, the users and customers are all wrong and whatever Bioware puts out is great??? Really?!?!

 

 

Time to voice concerns or lose the DA series altogether which pretty much is going to happen now..........MMO here we come with only a little of what the DA series was really about.

 

 

DAO will still be bought and played while DAI is forgotten in a year or two......that tells you something as well.

[X Equestris]

Again, I have played many Bioware games, incluidng DAO, DA2 and DAI.
 
 
DAI is all the above and fact because I own and played it and all these Bioware games on a PC.
 
 
That's were I get this from.
 
 
I am not a Bioware fanboy and always says their games are great no matter what.
 
 
I am a long time Bioware loving customer who is very disappinted with the dumbed down controller direction Bioware has gone.
 
 
 
And add to the list, DAI wasn't optimized for PC keyboard and mouse at all, but Bioware said it was written for PC......blatent lie and still not patched!!!!
 
 
I was a long time Bioware customer.....

DAO certainly wasn't well optimized for console, so that is rather incorrect. The combat and movement is clunky at best.

You statement about "tastefully done choices..." in DAO is an opinion. Your statement about "geared towards kids" is an opinion. Your statement about DAI's plot is an opinion. I'm hard pressed to find anything that is both factual and not subjective in your lists.

(Free) enhanced editions for TW1 and 2 impressed me much more than free cosmetic DLCs.

 

Actually I'm more impressed by the price of the game itself. I got a discount to pre-order TW3 on Gog.com because I had the two previous games. The digital game costs me 43,79€. For this price I have:

- No DRM

- Fair price (they acknowledged some countries have to pay more than other and I have a discount to buy another game on Gog for the difference of price - in my case I got 6€ to spend on GOG)

- a copy of Neverwinter Nights

- a comic book

- another interactive comic book

- the OST of the game (4 titles to download immediately)

- paper toys

- artbook (200 pages)

- a making of

- a map of the game

- I also had beta access to "The Witcher Adventure Game" (a board game)

- and the list is growing sometimes with new stuff

 

On top of that I would add:

- MODS support on PC

- Free DLCs

- TW1 and 2 are often available for 1,59€.

 

For the "Deluxe edition" of DA:I I had to pay 69,99€.

- the game has DRM...

- DLC "weapons of the Inquisition"

- DLC "Inquisition armor"

- Horse armor

- Chests for multiplayer

- Incomplete OST (tavern songs aren't there)

- A throne

- two mounts

All of that for 10€. TEN EUROS. It should be standard stuff to put in a game.

 

And no artbook. For nearly 30€ more than TW3.

 

I won't even begin with the Collector edition of DA:I and TW3. The level of quality of DA:I collector edition is embarrassing.

 

Though I would say that DA:I marketing was way better than DA2's or ME3's regarding DLC/exclusives/incentives.

(and the Keep was awesome)

 DAI, I didn't feel earn all the usd from my purchase. When I made my character for DAI I thought it'd even be more unique than what I got with Hawke, But I did not get that feel actually. I felt more immersed with my silent protagonist and with Hawke than this game's inquisitor. 

 

I refused to buy TW 1-2 because I heard it was a playboy style game that only had sex in an arcade like fashion (No real attachment between the character and the girls in the game, just points..).. Quality or not, I think I'll give TW3 some support after seeing this post.

[X Equestris]

Bioware fanboys will not see any of this because they are Bioware fanboys.
 
 
Or this is the first DA game they've played.
 
 
Instead of saying nothing is wrong with DAI, which is obviously nonesense, read the forums, threads and posts here. Too many to count.
 
 
Instead of taking away and dumbing down the game, release a free DLC that adds all the taken away features that made DAO and other rpg's great.
 
 
Add and improve OR take away and dumb down......
 
 
 
I have played many rpg's and Bioware games and DAI is a shell of what it could of been. So much potential.

You have to love how the term "fanboy" has lost any meaning it once had and now means "person who disagrees with me".

Look at all the numurous threads and posts about DAI.......what does that tell you? Critical thinking skills time and not fanboy mode.

 

 

Do you want me to list all the negative issues with DAI from the forums?

 

 

I guess all of us paying customers of DAI don't know what we are saying or talking about? Who cares that we bought and are playing the game......

[papercut_ninja]

So you can read better......

 

It doesn't help me read better, it just forces me to use my mousewheel so much it feels like I am trying to bring Sera to an orgasm...

[Shechinah]

(to DragonAddict) Actually it can make it more difficult to read for some. I have trouble reading posts and writings that are formatted like that. Something to do with my eyes, I think.

 

Secondly, as a bit of advice, using "fanboys" is a lot like using "hater" in a serious post: it is generally a bad idea. Both terms has been used so often that they are often interpreted (no matter to whom you are directing towards) as saying; "I don't care about your opinion because it is not mine and so it is nothing but mindless praise/hate" which makes people a lot less inclined to take you serious no matter how well you formulate or what reason you base your arguments on.

[DragonAddict]

Read all the posts here......

 

I will space less to make it simpler for posters here. done.

 

My arguments are based on facts. I bought and played all the DA games and many other Bioware games.

 

Again, read all the threads and posts here all over the forum about DAI........then using critical thinking skills, compile all the issues with DAI and list them. Going to be a huge list.....

 

If Bioware releases a free DLC that adds back what they've taken away, that would go a very long way.

[Shechinah]

(to DragonAddict) Thank you, it is much more comfortable for my eyes to read.

 

Although, for a bit further clarification: are you directing your claims of fanboyism towards the people who are dismissing any criticism or bug-related issues regarding the game however valid it might be or you are ignoring the threads and posts made by people who enjoy the game but are not blind to its flaws and do offer their own criticisms of the game?

[Melca36]

the DLC that was free in the Witcher 2 should not even be called DLC.

 

Good thing I'm not a mod here. I'd close every Witcher 3 post.

[Shechinah]

(to Melca36) I don't know, I like to imaging the Mods having betting pools or chewing popcorns like some of posters on the forums.

"C'mon, 'derail by page 3', 'derail by page 3', 'derail by page 3', yes!"

Listen honey...I may be a b****, but even in my not-so-polite and condescending way I am just trying to give you some useful hints:

 

Take all those concerns and issues, put them into coherent paragraphs, and post them in appropriate threads and you will receive more useful and constructive feedback.

[DragonAddict]

This is just a small taste of the issues paying customers of DAI have issues with.

[Shechinah]

(to DragonAddict) Okay, I'm going to try as a first and adress some of these with my own opinionated responses:

 

Why can't combat be more like DAO?

¨- Do you mean in terms of tactics or in terms of how it worked? Because if it is the latter then not everyone was fond of the shuffling amongst other things, though I do admit you felt the weight of a swung attack more in Origins if you used a two-handed weapon.

 

Better hair and clothing choices

- People complained about the hair back then and now hence why there is a ton of mods centering on hair and armor unless it was not meant as a comparison to Origin in which case, you have to be more specific about what you consider "better hair."

 

We want a storage chest

-I do agree with you that it would be nice with a storage chest especially because I am a hoarder.

 

Please don't charge for DLCS

-It is how a lot of gaming companies make the profit they need and Bioware has charged for their DLC in their Dragon Age series from Origins and likely will continue to do so through Inquisition.

 

My choices don't really matter

- Needs expanding. As an example, are you referring to the Divine choice or etc.

 

Why multiplayer?

-There is a thread going on the "No Spoiler" section. Short summation: EA.

 

What I bought is not what I got

- Needs expanding but you can find a find a thread bearing an almost word-for-word title in the "No Spoilers" section with people dicussing this.

 

DAI for the PC is a ported game

- There is no confirmation of this but I do agree it seems to be in certain ways.

 

Not optimised for PC kweyboard and mouse

- I do not have enough experience or understanding of the issue to adress this one.

 

DA2 better choices than DAI

- Needs expanding and examples.

 

We want unending gameplay

-Needs expanding as to what, is it about being able to finish Inner Circle quests post-game?

 

Why are elven females looking 13 year old girls?

-Avoiding a snarky response to something that is utterly subjective, there is a lengthy and on-going thread in the "No Spoiler" section regarding this.

 

Bioware starting to admit their short coming with DAI

- Links required as evidence for such a statement needed.

 

Boring game

- Utterly subjective and contains no constructive criticisms with examples.

 

Why can't I change armor and weapon, items with other party characters?

-Needs expanding. I'm not sure what is meant?

 

Re-spawning enemies

Subjective and requires examples of why this is a problem.

 

were is my Warden

-I do not know where your Warden is but mine is currently dealing the Crows and has abandoned the Wardens.

 

chain lighting upgrade is useless

-Do not know about that as I have avoided using it at times as it has a tendency to pull everything within range.

 

enemies immune to weakness

-By this, are your referring to a bug?

 

melee rogue awful

-I have yet to play a rogue so I cannot yet relate my own experiences.

 

tactical camera broken

- Not enough experience or bad experience with it to say myself.

 

Issues with Dragon Age Keep

-Needs more expanding and examples of said issues.

Many of those issues are trivial at best. Sometimes there isn't even any overlap between people who have one issue and people who have another.

[Hiemoth]

I slightly love these ad posts to Witcher in the DA forums.

 

Anyway, I think this is something at the moment really meaningless, at least until we actually know what those DLCs are. If I think of Witcher 2 and DA2, all three story DLCs had much more content than the really small free story DLC for Witcher 2. In addition, for me it at times felt that they were labeling patches as DLC for Witcher 2.

[thebigbad1013]

So they are releasing free DLC which is going to be alternate beards, hairstyles and that kind of thing. Well, that's nice, I guess, but why not just put it in the game from the beginning instead of as DLC later?

Oh my god.. is this what I sounded like when I was having my period about the lack of female desire demons?

 

Just because someone does not share the opinion that you have, does not instantly qualify them as a fanboy..

[Akrabra]

Why is this relevant? Different developer and different type of rpg. Anything to make drama?

[Shechinah]

(to Vargh1) Don't worry, we got edit buttons. It is especially helpful after waking the following morning and see the consequences of letting your sleep-deprieved brain write.

- People complained about the hair back then and now hence why there is a ton of mods centering on hair and armor unless it was not meant as a comparison to Origin in which case, you have to be more specific about what you consider "better hair."

I don't think it is incorrect to complain about the choices we were given in this game. They are very uniformal and catered to human appearances. Qunari are just fancy big humans when they could have cultural armor, or dwarves for that matter.. The hairstyles don't seem to mesh well IMO with how Dwarves, Qunaris look either.. It's seems very limited! Overall, my immersion would have been more apparent if they didn't just cater to humans and elves in cultural armor. We're in THEDAS for christs sake, theres more to it than humans and elves.

 

Re-spawning enemies

Subjective and requires examples of why this is a problem.

DA2 had respawning enemies, but this is a little more deceptive mind you in DAI. you could turn your back when exploring and finding the many fetch shards across a map. Enemies just unexpicably popped up and waited to engage. This was far more deceptive but even more prevalent than the enemies dropping out of the skies in DA2. You could reason that the game would be a lot more dull without things to hack through which is a LEGIT argument and I won't try to counter that directly, the point I'd bring up is that people are taking potshots at DA2 for that very element because it was IN YOUR FACE. 

 

DA2 better choices than DAI

- Needs expanding and examples.

subjective, but here's my answer to that. You had to choose between which brother or sister died off at the beginning of the game (hard choices). Whether you could become a Sarcastic, Commanding or Diplomatic Hawke, whether or not your brother or sister died from the plague, became drafted/conscripted by the templars, or became a grey warden, at many times through out the game you had the option to practically sell off your companions to their dark personal quests, Tevinter slavery or Isabella off to the Qunari.. Obviously its subjective but these were all situations where it boiled down to your character and their personality.
