Hm.. good point.
But, Announcement time and actual start working on it time is not the same thing. Still, a new fresh game with no reusable assets will, by definition, take longer to produce. So, five years is reasonable for DA:O

On the other hand, what reusable assets can Bio bring to ME:A to reduce development time? DA:I's GOTY hair award styles, I wonder?

Quadripeds (something DICE said FB couldn't do)

Camera controls

NPC Pathfinding

Dialogue (they had to write the dialogue system for DAI from scratch - they'll reuse it in MEA)

Given DA:I gushing reviews from major game magazines vs the the actual game I played on a PC, I wouldn't put to much faith on what you read. I will read the ME:A forums from posters that have played the game before my buy/no buy decision.

 

Also, I'm sure the game will be discounted three months after its launch date. By that time, some major game hiccups will be fixed.

 

This.

Apparently it didn't enter full production until around the time DA3 was near complete.

This game was said to be in production starting late 2012.

I'm pretty sure it would be mid 2013 at the earliest, since they were still working on Citadel until March 2013.

Dragon Age Origins was 7 years in development, but 4 of them were pretty much world/story building because it was the start of a series.

 

Also, take in consideration that full throttle development of ME:A just started when DA:I was released. So even though they have been working in Andromeda for some years now, the full commitment to it just started 1 year ago. To be honest I think the game will be pushed back to 2017. Because if it is released in 2016 as they say it would have gone only 2 years through actual development. Also considering rumours that Andromeda will have over 100 planets I really hope they take their time building them right. I dont care for dozens of automaticly generated planets that have no meat to it. Id rather just a few with some serious development and care.
