The issue here is when you start saying "true fan". This is in the realm of your opinion. My response was that just because you are a giant fan of ME1&2 doesn't mean you have to like ME3. You aren't suddenly disqualified from being a fan of series if you dislike the poorest one in the series.


Isn't this in the realm of opinion as well? For me it was ME 2, ME 3, ME. So am I doing something wrong?

I thought ME3 was better than ME2, ME2 was better than ME1, and ME1 was better than ME3.

Lebanese Dude, I believe you are engaging in a circular response!

I kind of feel like they need to get on it and release a story DLC. They should be riding this wave and I think they are missing an opportunity to capitalize on hype and goodwill.

I thought ME3 was better than ME2, ME2 was better than ME1, and ME1 was better than ME3.

Wait, let me get this straight. 3 was better than 2, which was better than 1 but 1 wasn't better than 3 because 2 was better than both 3 and 1? I thought 2 was better than 1 and 3 but that 3 wasnt as good as 1 or 2. 3 beat out 2 but 1 beat out 3.

I like the way you think.

I think we can agree 1 is better than 2 but that 2 is not better than 1 or 3.

You know I am hoping for Inquisition DLC set in Tevinter...it could be a great eye opener.

it seems likely they'll save Tevinter for DA 4. They could use a DLC for a taste of Tevinter I suppose.
Either way I hope they take as much time as is possible to work on the SP DLC.

Well it could be a good bridge DLC...

It could flesh out the backstory of various elements of Inquisition that still need it...

....I like DA2's finale except for the lack of consequence depending who you pick. You go through the whole of Kirkwall, possibly picking up your sibling OTW. There's proper build-up and I like the Meredith boss fight.


Which is why I think the finale at Haven should have been folded into the Arbor Wilds mission as one long mission.

Or, even better, you change the Arbor Wilds so that Corypheus beats the Inquisitor to the mirror, or otherwise create adversity that leads to a longer, more involved Doom Upon All the World mission. Thessia worked so well for exactly this reason: it set up adversity for Shepard to overcome first by pwning Cerberus that just pwned him, then going to Earth. Thessia is really the start of the endgame wheels turning, just like the Arbor Wilds is for Inquisition.


Thessia was terrible, though, because Shepard didn't lose so much as get cutscene'd. It would be one thing if Corypheus got there first (and we'd have a dramatic showdown in the Fade). But like Thessia would mean cutscene loss, and that's never good.

Can we please take the ME stuff over to the ME forums where people who are not interested in that series don't have to read them? It's getting really hard to pick out the DA:I posts from the ME ones.

I have no problem with cutscene loss.

But it wouldn't have to be a cutscene. If we want the Inquisitor to actually lose at the Arbor Wilds, simply have a boss fight where defeating Corypheus means he spawns into a henchmen's body, which fits the narrative.

My post was appropriate for both series.

That's for you to decide. That's how roleplaying games work. If you don't think your character would do something, you can have him not do it.

How is this even a complaint?

 

The problem is not that a specific Inquisitor of mine wouldn't do it. Every Inquisitor of mine wouldn't. Because there's a hole in the sky. That is a problem in a whole other scale.

 

The sidequests don't fit the atmosphere the game the game tries to create. You can either have  a world-shattering mood of "oh my god, the demons are swarming everywhere!", or a leisure "hey, let's run errand for random farmers, nothing better to do, it's not like there was a hole in the sky or something".

 

If we have a bloody apocalypse, then sidequests should reinforce that atmosphere. THAT is the complaint.

The Inquisition has to build itself up in order to deal with said hole in the sky. Setting up camps, closing rifts, and building goodwill amongst the populace furthers that goal.

Besides, this has been a persistent issue in several "sacred cow" Bioware titles, like Origins and Mass Effect 1.

This only really applies to quests that don't have to do with stabilizing the region. So, for example, putting flowers on a grave. For quests such as ram meat and setting up watchtowers for the Redcliffe farm, they are a part of restoring order to the zone, which is a part of the main goal of the Inquisition.

But the flowers on the gave are part of winning harts and minds, which is also a big part of the early game as we need to raise our profile if we are to gain backing.

 

During the war the Queen was well known for walking around London and other bombed cities listening to the concerns of the locals. It was all part of moral and keeping the hearts and minds of the populace. 

 

 

When Buckingham Palace was bombed, she famously remarked that now she could look the East End in the face. 

She was tireless, as was the King, in visiting the bombed cities - Plymouth, Bristol, Swansea, Coventry, Liverpool, and many others - as well as wandering through the debris in the streets of London. She never failed to bring cheer to the homeless, desolate and bereaved.

While that's true, that particular quest is one that I feel isn't important to the feel of the zone. Ye such quests may have a small cumulative effect on the zone, but compared to something like providing food and shelter for the refugee camp, it's very small fries. On top of that, he's a solitary elf with virtually no standing in a village filled with humans, so it's not like he's got much mindshare. Coming from the perspective of an Inquisitor looking for the most efficient ways to stabilize the region, it's hard to justify unless it's on the way to something more important (this is the rationale I use to do it).

The entirety of ME2 and ME3 ruined the end for me.

 

The whole series is a gigantic (albeit fun to play) missed opportunity after the first one. I wish Drew Karpyshyn had stayed on to the end.

 

You realize that Drew did not leave before ME2 was finished, right? If you hated ME2 that much, Drew wouldn't have "saved" ME3 for you.

 

Truth be told, the entire "Things would have been so awesome if XYZ had stayed/been in charge" idea is grating.

 

Esp. when there's evidence to the contrary in your case.

(I loved both ME2 & 3, preferred 3 tho)
