This has been a depressing month for me. The announcement of the end of DAI came at the same time as three of my real life friends left on long term travel or moved far away. It feels similar, I haven't lost a friend but there won't be any new experiences to look forward to for a long time. It's rather sad how sad I am about it.

Trespasser took all my feels. The dragon age size void in my heart will only be filled by more playthroughs and dissecting the books.

4 years
3 if you are VERY optimistic

4 years can be a long time I heavily suggest you invest it on writting, drawing, or playing the tabletop RPG

 

 

Got no rules for Templars!

I really want to replay the whole thing now that all the DLC is out and play around with the Trials and upgrade toggles, but I just finished my last Inquisitor in August and I promised myself I would spread my play throughs out better than I did for DA2. (It's the only game I've ever finished playing and then started again right away.) I only have four more world states to last me all the way to (probably) 2018! Although I have a tradition of replaying my 'canon' world state before the new installment comes out, and I could always go back and play DAO and DA2 again ...

 

I have no idea how I am going to stand the wait for DA4.

I spent the last 10 months away from the game. Came back. Played the DLCs.. Trespasser really did a lot to restore my faith in the game. Mostly the weapons, the nice looking armor. Alot of people hate the gryphon mail.. I quite like it.. especially on my Qunari. Might go and finish my Nightmare run through now. Then give it another few months before I play it again from start to finish. .

Waiting for the next game is like waiting for the next volume of a favorite book series. You can reread or replay, but it's not the real thing.

It's not just DA withdrawal it's Bioware withdrawal. There's no unindulged Bioware I can soak myself in. And, frankly I can't stand the fact that we're getting Tevinter next AND ITS NOT HERE YET so I'm mostly trying to forget DA exists. MEA better hurry the **** up.

Do you know how young you are?...clearly not.

Whenever I start to feel angsty about how far away DA4 is from being released, I head over to the MEA forums. Doesn't really help, though, as there's no news on MEA either. Then I start looking around for scraps of information on the new IP and nada. Bioware sure is quiet!

The *worst* wait for anything ever, is waiting for the Song of Ice and Fire books. I think it was 6 years between books 4 & 5? And its been so long since...

 

I've honestly spent so long waiting for SoIF that I am no longer interested in it. I haven't read the 5th book yet and I probably won't until he finishes the series, or I might never if he dies first, which is a real possibility. Not because he is in poor health, but because with 3 more books to go (last I heard) that is about 15-20 years, and god knows what'll happen in that time.

 

A good wait was waiting for Harry Potter. It was only like 3 years between books and they were all good. I remember getting in giant lines and Barnes & Noble waiting for it to open

The Gunslinger series was an awful wait! I think I read the first few books in middle school and had to wait until my mid 20's for the rest of the books in the series!

[KaiserShep]

Yeah. It's gonna be a long wait... But I've been holding off on playing Inquisition until I get a new system so I can finally complete my playthrough. With LiS about to be completed this month, I'll probably just get TW3 and maybe something else to tide me over while I wait for ME:A.

I know exactly what you mean

 

I have undergone a similar development with regards to ASoIaF; I devoured the first few titles that were out, got hyped, until gradually losing interest as the Dance of Dragons failed to release three years after its originally-announced launch date. When it finally did come out, I checked it out months later and read it out of obligation more than anything. It was not bad, but it was nowhere near the excitement I felt when getting a new Harry Potter (good comparison, by the way). Out of currently-running series, another similarly agonizing wait is the Kingkiller Chronicles, which is supposed to be a trilogy. Book One came out when I was in college. College. That was nearly a decade ago. Sigh.

 

And while I certainly hope that they take their time working on the next game so as to make DA: Next the best it could be, I also hope that BioWare does not adopt development cycles akin in length to Bethesda Time or, gods forbid, Valve Time. That would be...

Valve time.... that's almost as bad as Blizzard time.... Thank the Stone I am not waiting for Diablo 4.... unfortunately I am waiting for Warcraft 4..... =,(

I feel your pain. Rockstar Time is almost as bad; waiting for a sequel to Red Dead Redemption here. 5 years gone and all we got so far are whispers. And wind howling across a dusty plain as tumbleweed, um, tumbles by. Tornquist Time is pretty bad also - 8 years between the last two installments of Longest Journey/Dreamfall.

Although damn - Warcraft 4. That's dedication.

To stay on topic, what sort of gives me hope for reasonably long development cycles hereonout when it comes to DA, and really with BioWare games in general, is that the big time gap prior to release of DAI seemed to be mostly due to transferring to Frostbite. Now that it's done, hopefully the various teams got good enough of a handle on the engine to allow for 2-3 year development cycles (and, while we're at it, fewer bugs).

Sure, feel as you wish, I wish I were your age again...with all my wisdom and knowledge of course.
