I'd like to point out that this Is actually Feedback to EA / Bioware / Dragon Age Developers In the Feedback forums. Read it as you wish and reply as you wish, but my intention isn't to have the consumer populace specifically here.
As a person who'se paid and played the Origin Client Mass Effect and Dragon Age franchise's
and enjoyed them for a rough 1000 hours. Bioware has done a lot right in the past, and I do adore them.
l do believe you know what you're doing.
Though...
It's pretty disappointing to announce that I don't regret waiting for Inquisition to drop on one of those 50% sale's Origin had before buying it.
My biggest reasoning for this Is the Dragon Age: Inquisition - Live Demo Gameplay
In way too much defined reality, the "Inquisition" revolved around an army of 1-4 people who save the village and capture the keep for the theoretical army of npc's to hang out at. No one's view of you, the inquisitor, is in jeopardy. -As described would be the case in the demo preview.
The expectations that arise from said demo preview of the game are fulfilled in text-form to a satisfactory level.
If it's a text-based game. Why do my friends need to upgrade their rig to meet the requirements or discard the game and leave me without friends to play the stupid Multiplayer with.
You are the commander of an army who chooses how to wield said army... at the very beginning of the game.
(You are in reality a suspected criminal and presumed a danger for all of Thedas but have the option to choose whether to take a path that's faster for you but riskier for "some soldiers" or not).
And the rest of your career as Lord Inquisitor is choosing whether an army of text does text for text to happen which results in a horrible or happy consequence of text that might make you feel good or bad about the text until you forget the text ever existed.
I presume I got the entire order of Grey Wardens in Orlais/Thedas destroyed for good. Where's my bad feelings?
I understand that marketing is based on image. Tell me I'm a Lord Inquisitor who commands an army,
and the War Table is a very accurate and effective way to be one and do so.
It's not what I expect and that's fine because the image of what it would be like to be a commander of an army is all in my head.
-But you literally gave not a word nor picture that could say a thousand words, but a very descriptive visual video representation of what it would be like to be a commander of an army in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
And you did not deliver.
I personally could forgive a lot if there's anywhere I could have read from that the developers we're unable to deliver and admit that.
Today it's needless to say that I prefer Dragon Age: Origins over the rest of the Dragon Age series.
Your road to become a commander of an army is way more feasible in Origins.
(Where it's not your main goal and attraction to be one)
While you build your army, you get to choose if it's made of Elves or Werewolves. If it has Golems.
You get to choose when to use Mages, when to use Archers.
It's not perfect. But it is something you can actually command and witness in game.
Command in Inquisition is in all reality just a simulation in theory and text.
This isn't my idea of keeping up the standards, let alone progress.

Speaking of consequences. I just want to inform that while at the current time I look forward to Mass Effect 4, for instance.
Fact is you can disable pre-purhace advertisement for my account if at all possible.
I will not pay in advance and I will not pay full price for any games on the Origin client without seeing solid reviews of the actual content of games that are already released.
This is an ideal that I have implemented on Steam long ago after many enough disappointing experiences.
