      As the planks of Theseus' ship needed repair, it was replaced part by part, up to a point where not a single part from the original ship remained in it, anymore. ls it, then, still the same ship this same question can be applied to bioware

      They use to make some very good companions in looks and style. They lost some in inquisition and they lost in Veilguard. They evan made a old guy the Necromancer a romanceable charecter, really a lod man, that's why I didn't romance Blackwall because he was old and not very good looking. They need to look at the Orientals on making beautiful charecters. I always look forward to the new games and always get disappointed. 😢

    Half the gameplay trailer was cutscenes, and the writing in those cutscenes was half-assed at best. “I thought you knew the area. Oh you don’t? Then I’ll lead us with my magical scout senses!” “I know these incredibly ordinary looking trees.” (Let’s not forget that Harding thought it was important to point that out while magic was visibly tearing open the sky directly ahead.) Or how about “the ritual”. They say it over and over with no variation. Eight years spent hunting Solas and trying to learn whatever they can about his plans, successfully tracking him to Minrathous and Arlathan, knowing he is alone, understanding that he is doing a ritual. All of this information and they never learned what the ritual is called? Or a general idea of what is involved? “The blade ritual”, “cutting the veil”, anything? It just feels so lazy.
    This trailer was supposed to be indicative of the game as a whole, and if it has been successful in that, then this doesn’t feel like a Dragon Age game. It was certainly successful in stealing my optimism for a heartfelt continuation of one of my favorite dark fantasy series.

      But most fans of the series came in and enjoyed DA:I for what it was.

Whether or not Origins was the better game doesn't really matter when it's not the game that most coming back or into the series end up comparing it to.

However I consider both DA:I and DA:O to be among the top 10 RPG's of all time Origin's is a seriously great game!!! That I totally loved for many different reasons but for me Inquisitions is just slightly better.... However whatever this Veil guard is, well its too flashy, too fast paced, too stream lined, the game play doesn't interest me, and on top of that everything feels on rails it feels like we have lost the big open world from what footage I have seen... But ultimately the biggest gripe I have is the companions! No Morrigan, No Casandra, No Liliana, No Aveline, No Dorian, No Alistar, No Iron Bull.... All we get is a Varick during the intro and Scout Harding? To Pass the torch? Leaving us with a bunch of horribly over the top and silly and not interesting companions literally straight from a comic book none of actually read or cared about...

    That Origins trailer kicks fucking ass and if they showed something like that people would have loved it, that is just a fact. Seriously, it's called 'Get ready for the new shit'. Based. Ah, it absolutely is Dragon Age Origins. You know, the game where I could have sex with a demon by sacrificing a child achieved by killing a mother using blood magic to 'save' her son. Or where you desecrate a holy site and kill one of your companions to unlock a spec. Or that time you went into the deeproads to find a dwarf only to find that she basically sacrificed her followers to darkspawn, which one was turned into a Brood mother, look it up, with several sets of titties. That game was quite literally marketed towards me, a teenager at the time and it was awesome. Imagine if Bioware showed off a Dragon Age game inspired by the beloved Origins, wouldn't that be a thing. Maybe if BG3 release years earlier and won GOTY years earlier, things might have been different.

TH-camrs clickbait with crazy exaggerated negative titles, people go comment "yeah that sucks, I hate it" and the cycle continues. Sometimes I feel games should not advertise at all until they're already releasing, because with this climate, even if it's the best game ever made it won't have a good reputation until it's 10 years old and people get nostalgic, like with Origins.

      Inquisition was nothing like mass effect though…
      It was a bloated open world that still used RTWP and let you completely control your companions and on higher difficulties needed the more tactical approach that RTWP afforded.
      Mass effect was a linear cover shooter…

      @@michaelh878 no? Mass effect Andromeda is not a dragon Age.
      It might have been open world unlike previous mass effect titles, but the gameplay was still 3rd person and still acted as a cover shooter.
      Inquistion aside from being open world played nothing like it. And not only that Andromeda is widely considered one of BioWares WORST games and only managed to sell at all due to the Mass effect brand.
      But bringing up Andromeda is a good point. Because this new Dragon Age’s gameplay is clearly being modelled after Andromeda as well as Mass effect in general. Which is not what people want in a Dragon Age game.

Do we need to remind ourselves of how the story set part one of the game on one side of a harbour begging the guards to let your party go to the other side of the harbour, when any of the characters could have just... gone to the other side of the harbour at any time? Do we need to mention that all the character interaction was pointless, and as long as you consistently chose either the "angry face" option or the "smiley face / heart" option you'd end up in exactly the same place in the relationship, including romance? I could go on for a while, but I won't. DA2 was... pretty bad. And not just because you spent the whole game in one small town. Characters and stories were pretty bad too. Not terrible.

    I'm not against progressing a franchise at all. You need progression to keep things interesting. It just feels like this type of "progression" is very superficial. The tone of the game and the personality of the characters don't seem to fit this Universe in which they are in. A universe that has been already established. Seems like suits in a boardroom not understanding or caring for their franchise while wanting the money that Overwatch or Fortnite makes by appealing to the gamers who play those instead of appealing to those people who made you your money in the first place.

    No, you are completely right. This game has a major identity crisis. It looks like fortnight the skill trees are nothing to do with dragon age other than the main skills. It doesn’t even have the classes other than champion and like one other had to make their own stuff make their own ideas manipulate the lore ignore the main content of the entire series all the classes all the fighting styles. There’s no chantry there’s no Templars there’s no berserkers there’s no blood mage. There’s no spirit healers there’s no guardians. There’s nothing this game even an open world section section. They ignored the elf mirrors supposedly be very, very rare and they put them everywhere for convenience. They took some characters from a few of the games and that’s probably the only thing that’s dragon age like everything else even the art is way too colorful way too not dragon age, dragon age. Art is usually dark Grimmy and gritty. It’s one of the greatest things about the series. They ignored all the factions there are like 40 factions. in dragon age, and they don’t have a single faction that you can be a part of at the beginning of the game other than the death, mages and the wardens they ignored every other faction and decided just to make up some random weird, odd, crazy factions that never existed as far as I’m concerned. I was just name 10 factions they missed the chantry which concludes Templars secrets of truth and more they missed the kingdom individually being involved so every single continent has its own faction. Oh wait they do have the antifa crows. I forgot that ones so they got that one. What circle? What about any dwarf factions what about all the factions that are directly related to each continent? I mean there’s more and more factions I just chat right now. I’m kind of frustrated with this game. It looks like a fortnight mixed game with like three other games with a little bit of dragon sprinkled on top.
