Definitely this.

 

I know its been said a thousand times and people get sick of hearing it but Origins had some great stuff in it that we haven't seen return. In terms of story telling it was masterful. Loved the start where each race and class had its own beginning you played through.

 

I agree with the bowing thing so early on in DA:I and at the same time people wondering who the Inquisition leader should be. lol

 

It might seem like some of us are just Origins fanboys, or are nostalgic, but that game did things that the others abandoned, which made them worse.

 

I do not understand why we couldn't use talents and skills through the radial menu, and were instead limited to 8. That was a senseless change which really limited the player.

 

Obviously, I want origins themselves to return. But maybe Bioware crunched the numbers and found that not enough players played more than one, or something. But I feel like I can't overstate how much better Origins contextualised its world because of this amount of detail.

1. Scrap the open world in favor of linear, tightly plotted maps.

2. No more fetch quests.

3. Actually, no quests that don't further the plot or inform characterization.

4. More racial and gendered dialogue. 

5. Trespasser swayed me, so bring back IQ as the PC. 

6. More gore. More grit. 

7. Better hair.

8. Low Fantasy > High Fantasy. 

9. Nix the MMO garbage.

 

DAI was a bloated mess and DA2 was rushed, so basically just do Trespasser / DAO / DAA.

I was thinking about the male elven bodies, they aren't so good looking... 

 

Saying that the male elven bodies aren't so good looking is certainly an understatement. LOL

I want to go the Black City. I want to walk in there and finally find out what that place really is

 

 

 

 

I want to see it, but not before DA6: first have the writers tie up all the loose plot threads left hanging (the Qunari/Tevinter conflict, whatever's brewing in the Anderfells, Solas misbehaving...) and keep the Black City for the grand finale.

 

***

 



Pet (not as a companion but rather similar to the mabari in DA2)

 

 

 

 

Nah, if they reintroduce a Mabari, I want them to go all the way: give the pooch a customizable skill tree filled as it levels up, make it female, and give her her own romance sidequest ending with a litter of puppies :wub:

 

***

 



If we go to Tevinter then I want a more in depth look at the politics that are currently going on. The party of Maeveris vs others. I feel like they really wasted that with the civil war in Inquisition.

 

 

 

 

Ha yes, more cloak and dagger politicking. But that shouldn't be keept in Tevinter only: Inquisition implied that both Qunari society and elites weren't ideologically homogenous: depicting the inner dissension among the Qunari would be a great way to portray them as something more interesting than horned Borgs.

 

***

 



Besides, they need some reason why your character needs to hear exposition, because they need some excuse to give exposition for the sake of players who are just arriving at the series and don't have any idea what Tevinter is.

 

 

 

 

You could have the PC doing the exposition for the player's sake: let' imagine an hypothetical  conversation between the PC and Dorian about one hypothetical minor antagonist:

 

Dorian: Lord Truchmuchi is a young, ambitious member of the Publicanium 

 

Foreign PC: What's the Publicanium?

Tevinter PC: The senate's lower house is virtually powerless, how could this glorified bureaucrat be a threat to us?

 

One answers gives Dorian the opportunity to do his exposition about Tevinter's inner political workings, the other one acts as exposition for the player's sake.

 

***

 



DA:O actually went against the lore by allowing us to spec as a healer

 

 

 

 

I'll give a pass to Origins about that: Wynne was an experience healer with decades of experience, the Mage Warden was a freak of nature and the poster child for how broken the circle system was (here's a mage who's pretty much capable of going on a genocidal rampage on a whim, let's allow him/her to roam the land freely, then rule a whole Arling thanks to a convenient legal loophole while the Templars keep themselves busy bullying the much weaker circle mages) and Morrigan's the daughter of an Elven goddess.

 

Personally, I wouldn't mind the healer spec to work like DA2's: the amount of skill points needed and the cost of healing spells were high enough that you had to sacrifice Hawke's offensive abilities in order to to turn him/her into a competent healer: Healing was very useful, but came at a steep price.

 

***

 



I watched some footage of the new zelda game. There were many things that da4 should/could implement 

 

 

 

 

Mute protagonist! Opening section devoid of NPCs! Giant boar as the final boss!

 

***

 



8-introduce swimming-drowning in a puddle is just wrong

 

 

 

 

I don't like watching characters in heavy armor swimming. If anything, I'd like swimming being linked to the armors equipped: if at least one character wear middle or heavy armor, then the PC won't accept going farther than calf-deep into the water. If everyone is wearing light armor/clothe, then swimming is allowed.

Even if i love open world games, i want they get rid of it. The world bioware make it was beautiful, but the quest were boring, I would prefer less side quest and a better main history and side quest. And if we get less side quest I think that the open world would be pointless.
 
multiple playable race.
 
The inquisitor, not as the protagonist but I would like to use them in some part of the game. (like ciri in the withcer 3 )
 
Better hair, please.
 
Better npcs.
 
Origins histories.

I honestly can't believe no one posted about this sooner. We are going to Tevinter and in at least one of my epilogues I saw that Shale went to Tevinter and became Mortal again. As such my desire is to have Shayle of House Cadesh as a Companion in Dragon Age 4 and then have her romance Sten. MAKE IT SO!!!!!!!

Returning specializations from the previous games and for magic to go back to what it was in DAO. You killed my favorite Entropy gameplay style. Gameplay should not override established Lore.

Oh, also multiple origins stories. There are several paths to take with each race with what lore was discovered in DAI story wise.

I'd like my Queen of Fereldan Warden to have had a child with her husband Alistair and have the story of that child about the training and going to Weisshaupt Fortress.  I hate the whole Morrigan and her child story. I hated it was a choice in Dragon Age and I hated that they brought it into Inquisition.   Or the story of what happened to Hawke and her husband Fenris and the whole Cory connection with her bloodline.

If they do, I hope all origins are not race specific. Just some. I wouldn't mind being a Warden, Merc, mage from the upper ranks of the Tevinter hierarchical ladder, "undercover" or open follower of the Qun, Keeper of a clan, ect.. if they are all race specific origins, I hope there is wiggle room for RP purposes like elves being human tolerant or not even though you are forced in a certain origin because of your race type.

I highly doubt the Warden approach will happen although we may help with their civil war. Like always there will be options and people can head canon whatever they wish but there does need to be a strong central plot and I can see restrictions being made because of this which I'm fine with if the story is good. I wouldn't mind being able to play as a Elven follower of the Qun tho.

I want to play as a warden again. It will be cool if HoF is the mentor to the new hero and make him continue HoF mission finding the cure for the calling.

Mages getting a separate origin and backstory. I didn't like shoehorning a human mage into the human noble template in Inquistion

Party camp

Return of Inon Zur, have plenty of the leitmotifs from DAO/DA2 come back

Blood soaked combat

Evil companions again

Just thought of another thing, if they do anything like the war table again, can we have the pins removed of the stuff we've completed? My inner OCD didn't like seeing the pins still there when we'd already done that quest.

TBH. I want a clean slate, a new hero with a story-line that does not tie into the previous protags, lore etc...

I want bioware to go big on da4.

I want tevinter , weisshaupt and the anderfells

Give us a big city with debauchery and intrigue

Give us darkspawn

Cameos and friendships depending on tapestry choices

Darkspawn and more involvement with wardens

Solas and qunari invasion

Eluvian travel

New creatures (griffons) and return of classics (golems)

New specializations/powers- i would love to be a warden working for inquisition or a blood magic mage etc

Da4 in my opinion cant afford to play it safe and the develepors have to embrace what made trespasser such a great dlc

What I want to see is.. :

- Better hair (or better 'cosmetics' in that case :D or mainly just more awsome hairstyles)

- Boddy weight/height sliders (yes I know about correctly applying in cinematic mode is a pain and blah-blah and blah.. but a girl can dream, right?)

- Multiple races are back (yoomans, elves, dwarves and vashoth/kossith) nobody gets left behind. Would be cool if each class has 2 choices of privilidge/oppressed back ground for different flavours, like :
1. Humans (altus / slave)
2. Elf (reaserch assistant to a kind House / living blood bank for magical 'fuel')
3. Dwarf (Ambassadoria / bankrupt slaver with huge debt and many enemies)
4. Vashoth (Mercenary / a magister's ill treated pet)
.. etc.
You get the picture.

- If you are going to make a larger map, then also please kindly scale it with more convo / banter / story content to balance it up (not just the fetch quest ^^') Otherwise it could leave you with a feeling of a large quiet world.

- Rylen romancable in DA4 and/or an Elven dude Arcane Warrior KISA that's romancable for my fem protags :D <3 an Ancient elf that's pretty much cool with the present world and would rather not see it get destroyed.

- Old companions returning as important NPC (some, not all) and fresh new faces for the ones that gets the honor of accompanying the new DA4's protag

- Who knows, would be a twist if in the end we get to side with Solas and Mythal vs the rest of Evanuris :D and maybe even facing a Titan or whatever.

Here's another one I'd like to see:

For the companions, I'd like to see a Dwarf and Elf companion whose proud of their culture/heritage without being an a** about it.

- Maybe an ambassadoria dwarven lass (please please please make her a girl. We already had varric in DA2 and DAI XD .. sorry Varric fans) whose proud of her origins and love everything Dwarvish (a bonus if you make her a smooth operator who has many lovers XD )

- An Ancient Elf who took pitty of the modern day elves and think there is still good that's worth preserving in this world (.. yeah, sounds a bit like tolkien elves XD I know)

- A human that's into dwarven things or maybe a history geek whose curious about par vollen before the time of the Qun.

- An Andrastrian Vashoth mage :D soft spoken, propper and not that much into violence. Sweet like Josephine, I guess :D

Still in my first playthrough of DA:I, but from my feeling so far which I think is needed in a new DragonAge:

 

- more real "Story"-gametime again.

While DA:I has alot of gametime (I'm around 73 hours, still hardly finished a main-quest since I got to skyhold) it really seems to lack of actual "story"-gametime. While the different locations attempt to tell their own story, it's rather weak. Like the whole location-story is handled in 10 sentences from 3 NPCs.

If part of the story is put into the location-stories, then they have to be told much stronger than in DA:I. Because with all the exploring, collectibles and stuff it feels more like 80+% of the gametime is just some kind of "filler"-gametime. Which is sad for such an interessting game.

 

Not to be missunderstood: I like the main-story and the companion-quest-stories alot, whenever I play them they're just amazing so far. But when you try to see as much as possible in one playthrough... you have very little, story-wise. Mainpart is just exploring, closing rifts, collecting stuff... then move to the next location and repeat the whole stuff again.

 

-------

 

And another more positive view:

 

When stuff like the war table's "collect ressources" is needed/wanted:

- Make it right and actually add a tiny simulation-part. Instead of sending someone every 12 minutes to the mission, actually add some cost for creating mines/herb'gardens where you will get some sort of income from the different ressources. (best ressources of course still either only harvestable by hand or the mines/gardens have to be really expensive for them)

 

Might make people think "This is an rpg not a life/farming-simulation!", but it would make more sense like that than this whole war-table collecting of ressources I think. :)

What I want to see in DA4...

 

All I want to see... Is DrinkQuisition easter egg. There. They made fun of the Cullenites somewhere, so we should get our five minutes of glory in one of the taverns in that game.
