[QUOTE="dracolich55"][QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]

and i don't see any reason why it couldn't work with dragon age.

CaseyWegner

i can see it easily working both ways as it has before. what's the real difference?

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]

[QUOTE="dracolich55"] It was OK, but BG was meant to be a SP game and co-op would be a waste of resources. dracolich55

i can see it easily working both ways as it has before. what's the real difference?

well, considering that the bg games are strongly based on dungeons and dragons, it would have been criminal to have them be single player only. kotor was also a d&d based game but it was set in a non-d&d universe. i can still totally see the da games working with co-op though.

I'm getting to wonder what the next setting will be. I'm hoping either for Orlais, or the Qunari homeland. The Qunari are the most complex nationality that we've seen of this world and would love to see more of them. And of course the Grey wardens should figure more prominently into this game.

Mike Laidlaw said during PAX East: "Let's go somewhere new. Maybe somewhere a little more... French." So, Orlais it is.

Dragon age games have everything i hate. High fantasy setting with magic and dragons and some other blah blah blah. however i think it will be like dragon age 2.SNIPER4321

You hate everything. And everything hates you.

Hopefully they'll redeem themselves.... only time will tell.Desmonic

I don't think so. This game will be dumbed down, casual trash.

What's with the stupid sub-title?

EA will have their own inquisitors to hunt down and murder anyone bad mouthing the game or scoring it lower than a 9

I have to agree. DAO begged for co-op. It had the nagging sensation of being a single-player MMO where the player controlled the entire group.

[QUOTE="AdobeArtist"]

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.

CanYouDiglt

One would think the lackluster reviews resulting in a rapid decline in price for DA2 would have sent a message to EA ;)

[QUOTE="finalstar2007"]

A 3rd one already?

where is Mass Efffect 4? no one care about Dragon Age just give us another Mass Effect

Blabadon

I remember how hyped I was for Dragon Age 2. Can't seem to even muster up interest for this one though.

Hopefully I'm in for a surprise.

Translation: No gunz!!!

DA2 was garbage IMO so I'm not even going to get my hopes for this to be a good game.

some of the stuff in the videos was promising. hopefully they follow through on integrating more of the lore into the gameplay. like laidlaw saying that hes thinking of limiting the player to choosing just one specialization but having that choice change how the world reacts to the player character seems good if done right. choosing blood magic was barely even an afterthought before and its one of the biggest taboos in the game world. the feedback for choosing magic in general was diminished in DAII despite magic playing a bigger role than ever in the story. friendly fire AoE attacks would have done more to hammer home the dangers of magic.

some of the other stuff wasnt as promising, but i worry more about the general sense that bioware isnt even making enough design decisions on their own games anymore. theres EA forcing superfluous features (and possibly rushing the game out the door, which i suppose doesnt do much for polish) and bioware's recent history of changing major parts of (what used to be) their game because people complained. i mean bioware isnt this infallible developer than can do no wrong or anything, but id rather play an imperfect yet genuine game than some polished crowd sourced product.

not touching that with a 300 mile long pole

Also

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.silversix_

"Ancient Hobos":lol::lol:

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]

[QUOTE="dracolich55"] Nothing, its just DA like BG is more of a SP game and I think it would be a waste of resources, like games like Uncharted have completely uncessary MP, when their are games with much better MP out their. Around the time BG came out is co-op was ok, but Diablo 2's co-op was MUCH better.dracolich55

well, considering that the bg games are strongly based on dungeons and dragons, it would have been criminal to have them be single player only. kotor was also a d&d based game but it was set in a non-d&d universe. i can still totally see the da games working with co-op though.

still sounds kind of like baldur's gate.

DA2 was a huge mess. Skipping this without even a backward glance. EA has Bioware by the neck and balls, so I dont expect anything good to come from them anymore

More Dragon Age: Origins... Please :cry:

It was. The game was still relatively fun, but a massive step down from DA:O.

make it like DA:O? people people..bioware is trying to get the COD crowd of gamers...can't do that with slow tactical gameplay lawlessx

It hurts, but I agree. DAII did some things right, but sacrificing the actual RPG elements of DA:O, was not one of them :(

I'll wait for the user reviews. Not gonna fork out $60 for DA3 when I could just wait for it to be on sale for $20 three months later (like DA2...)Magescrew

Solid tactic. I don't buy any games at full price any more, barring a few (Sleeping Dogs).

maybe 10 years from now (by then bioware will be shut down) some old school bioware developer will kickstart a true successor to DA:O :(

Its going to have multiplayer, which is going to make it the worst of the series.

EA's CEO said a few months ago that he is PROUD that he will not greenlight a single player only game.

For fvcks sake EA...

From said blog:

I am pleased to confirm that we are, in fact, working on the next Dragon Age game. Not a big surprise to most of you, I know. We have been working on it in some way for about two years now with the bulk of our efforts ramping up about 18 months ago.

[QUOTE="milannoir"]

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.

Right now, it's nearly the end of Q3 2012 and if the game will indeed be released in late 2013, then the development cycle could really approach or even exceed 3 years.

Could Bioware really be returning to longer development cycles? :o

Well, it could be just a new engine or it may only apply to Dragon Age (about which I don't care actually). But the idea, that maybe... maybe Bio could work on a next Mass Effect title or new IP for more than 2 years (+ month or two, bleh)... :shock:

Damn, I am almost excited :P (last time I was actually excited about something Bio related was when ME3 was delayed, but in the end, it obviously wasn't enough). Well, we will see.

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/21/muzyka-bioware-to-throw-previous-dragon-age-games-into-a-blende/ DAIII will take elements from BOTH Dragon Age Origins AND Dragon Age II.texasgoldrush

I"m sorry given EA/Biowares past history of blatantly misrepresenting the facts I higly doubt this is even remotly true, we will get Dragon age 2.0 with forced PVp multiplayer and DLC stripped from the game , not to mention that Dr Muzkya is no longer working at bioware so whatever he says should be talken with a grain of salt.
