It's not as much Bioware that must redeem (though they did make their mistakes) but EA that must learn from their mistakes in how they interfere with Biowares creative and development process. Namely DON'T RUSH THEM.

DA2 would still have been a donkey even with extra time
I'm excited for this. I thought DAII had some major issues but I still played through it multiple times and I enjoyed it. If they fix what sucked about it (one city, can't customize party members armor) then it'll be good imo.

With extra time Bioware could have crafted more environments instead of having to recycle from 3 different templates for all the quests. They could have rendered better story cinematics instead of the illustrated montages. They could have implemented outfit options for the companions. It would have made immense difference in the final product.

Except Dragon Age:O had the exact same problems with recycling enviroments so I doubt that would of changed.
Is anyone REALLY suprised? I mena Bioware admitted they are going to be "inspired" by Skyrim for DA III back in December. This is not news, we all knew it was coming.
I'll keep watch on this but I'm not expecting something incredible. Origins' plot didn't engage me as much as I would have liked and I really didn't care for DA2's. More power to the people that did enjoy them though.
I actually liked DA2. I thought the characters were great, the combat was decent and the story was passable. If it weren't for the recycled environments, the weird enemy spawning and the overall stink of EA rushing the game to market, it had the potential to be a great game. I still have hope for the series.
I hope they don't listen too much to the fans. Dragon Age needs to evolve if it wants to rank as a top RPG this days. As far as combat go, they need to combine both the classic tatical DA combat with the more skilled base combat, like Dark Soul's. . Also, great to hear they are using FB2 engine, It's something I thought would happen and now that is confirmed I'm looking foward to see how the game looks. Both DA were very lackluster in the visuals.
As long as it is not consisted of rolling & spamming 2 types of attacks & 1 spell throughout the game & controls designed for console gamepad, I might try it.
I never got into the Dragon Age games. I've heard the first one is very good but the second one sucks so I completely dsmissed the series. Maybe if the 3rd one is good I'll just play the first and third iterations
EA won't greenlight anything that doesn't have multiplayer. So, ya...this game will definitely have multiplayer when it really doesn't need it. Multiplayer will take away from the single player experience. Most likely a shorter campaign.
"we talked about armor and followers Yeah, that kind of customization." Wow, returning to features which most gamers expect to be in any rpg type game, such as the first DA. I liked the first one a lot and was put off by the sequel. Sorry Bioware, but with DA2 and the ME3 horribad endings, my bar set quite low for DA3. It sucks that I feel this way. I never thought I would with Bioware.
Only complaint I had with DAII was the story. Combat was decent and as usual Bioware had great memorable characters. The characters were better in DAII than DA:O and Awakening combined.
What's the story? Ancient hobos beneath the earth coming for some random reason to destroy humanity and you need to drink their blood to kill millions of them? fk this sh!t. DA has a pathetic story just like Gears.
A few years ago, news like this would have got me thrilled. But Bioware has been so disappointing of late that I just don't care anymore.

Ditto. I still cry at night thanks to ME3's ending. Don't even have the motivation to buy Leviathan despite it looking very interesting. **** you Bioware for leaving important story elements out of the main game.

You can break down and simplify any great story like that. Your opinion is irrelevant.

. Rekindle a flame is a better story, right? Just kidding. . I think some things about DA lore are pretty good, especially the origin of the darkspawn, it's a very interesting concept. I just feel like they couldn't translate it to the game.
