    It's crazy how a few years ago i was checking everyday for even a crumb of new info on the game month after month day by day and now i honestly don't care that much at all. They really killed the hype for the game by realeasing that trailer at the game awards in 2020 and then going SILENT for years...and only news about the game were people getting laid off or leaving the studio

And others still who felt like the grey wardens were disrespected and none of those things were fixed by trespasser. Not to mention solar being the dread wolf, imo, a truly bad decision.

Every single Dragon Age game, including dlc, all released within a six year timespan. It’s been ten years since inquisition!!! Baldur’s Gate 3 is so good but I don’t have the same attachment to the world of d&d as I do dragon age. It sucks to be a dragon age fan. This game better be THE dragon age game.

    And that's it cause we pretty much know nothing else truly solid. We know some behind the scenes stuff like the fact the game was originally a crappy live service spinoff before they changed to a full single player title, but not much else.

    Do you ever watch BTS trailer from Gamescom and think how half of the people who spoke there don't work at Bioware anymore, even though it was only 4 years ago? 😅
    Against all odds and despite this super depressive development, my love for DA resurfaced this spring and I am quite excited about Dreadwolf. Many studios had been through rough times and have managed to get through it, including everyone's favourite Larian or Bethesda before Morrowind, so I wouldn't write Bioware off yet.
    And then personally, I don't need Dreadwolf to be a masterpiece (maybe I'm in the minority), I love DA lore and the franchise has already earned a very special place in my nerdy heart so I'll probably enjoy playing Dreadwolf anyway, at least to some extent, even if it's "worse" than other instalments 🙈😅
    So I am excited and I hope that in a few months we will put on our tinfoil hats again, dissecting every little detail of new trailers and writing lengthy comments about whether we crush the egg or not ❤

This is a timeline mirroring that of a brand new studio making a game for the first time. Any hype to pre-order is immensely unwarranted.

    I don't think your final conclusions are too far off Jack! From the occasional Mark Darrah video I've watched I certainly get the sense that there's been a lot of... upper management issues that have impacted Bioware and corporate mismanagement from EA. I still have hope for the game, but my bigger hope is that Bioware is allowed to focus on DA and ME without having to cater so much to whatever EA's du jour game mechanic of the moment is (looking at you live services). If they just become the DA+ME studio I wouldn't mind. I'd rather get consistently good versions of both of those games than have new Bioware IPs popping up.

    I feel like it's not just one or two people, but a lot of people who want a return of Dragon Age: Origins. Origins I'd say was the last true RPG Bioware made. If we got the same quality of Origins at the sacrifice of a VA main character then I'd be ok.
    I still to this day wish to god we could get a full on remake/remaster of Dragon Age Origins.

    I started DA-Origins in my late 30s and got the next two instalments within 5yrs, waiting for the next one a decade later I am in my mid 50s and story progression has stagnated.
    I really lost confidence in Bioware last year after all the departures of original staff who know DA inside and out. With BG3 and DD2, my RPG needs are bing met, and I may not even jump on DA-DW upon release (if it came out last year I would have been all over it).
    Now I have learned that all those old Bioware staff are starting (almost ready for release) a new franchise called Exodus has me more excited for that.
    IF DA-DW is amazing, it will restore my faith in Bioware and I will eat humble pie.

      No I think you’re right I was an adult when origins came out. I got to test it at comic con San Diego. I really loved it and was a huge fan but I’m just glad I got to see the release of BG 3. In my mind it’s the closest thing to a real Dragon Age sequel. Da2 and inquisition were both good but they really were a different type of game than Origins imho.

      I know what you mean. I like BioWare’s games but now when I play them I just can’t stop making comparisons. No pointless fetch quests. Engaging level design. Choices that actually matter. Variety in the combat. Depth in the combat mechanics. The role playing in BG3 beats any BioWare game I can think of with only Origins coming close. And this might be an unpopular opinion, but I prefer the character creator in BG3 to any of BioWare’s character creators. I would rather spend time on the scars and freckle density than on adjusting a slider to try to make a nose look normal.
      I have a feeling that BW is going to double down on all the trends that I don’t like about how they design their games. The combat has been getting worse with each installment in the DA franchise. It just keeps getting simpler and less interesting and they don’t provide us with multiple ways to handle encounters. It’s all stab and or sparkle things to death. Enemies don’t have special weaknesses so we don’t have to think about which companions are best for handling which encounters. Every fight is pretty much the same in Inquisition. Having to account for a bunch of choices we would have made previously limits the ability they have to create cohesive and compelling stories with depth. They’re probably also going to keep doing big, empty open worlds and fill them with fetch quests for codex entries and crappy loot. Just to pad out the game and make it look like it offers lots of stuff to do.
      There’s also a completed Cyberpunk to compare to and once they actually finished the game, CDPR made something pretty fantastic. Tons of variety in the combat and a great story with depth. And Judy ❤
      I think both Larian and BioWare excel at making engaging companion characters, though. With the exception of the companions in ME Andromeda. They weren’t very engaging. And the facial animations were weird in that game. Very distracting. (The mocap and voice acting is definitely a point in Larian’s favor. I’ve never seen such beautiful acting in a video game.)
      Ok, now I’m just gushing. They even personalized the running animations for each of the companion characters. Astarion has a fruity run and Gale does this little wizard shuffle so we know he’s not very athletic. I love the attention to details like that which flesh out the characters even outside of conversations. All right, I’m done.

Maybe I can upgrade my pc with a rtx 5090 or something before the game comes out, as I expect bad optimization which is the norm these days.

    @grimmjow0106 หลายเดือนก่อน

    First off appreciate the video Jackdaw .
    Red disastrous development history I see as being ultimately responsible because of two entities. These entities are not symptoms but sources.
    The first has to do with the category of who ultimately is in control of the project. And that could very well go above development leadership to the ruling company authority figure . The top dog. The individual or individuals that all the project heads have to ultimately answer to. Where all the decision-making for the project goes and has to be cleared by. Where direction for the project is Given and or forced.
    I think of this individual or group of individuals as the ‘ Decision-making controllers’. They get the final say so and have all of the pool as to what the results of the projects end up being.
    Whether the decision making controller is at the current modern day BioWare or whether it stems from EA. In either case, the decision making controllers have the wrong priorities. That’s it.
    It is literally that simple.
    The decisionmaker controllers for these projects, Orit ties everything but entertainment/escapism .
    Their priorities stem from profit exploitation to lazy manipulation to disingenuous relevancy pandering. None of these things have anything to do with escapism, which is the fundamental core of entertainment as a identity. It’s why it’s so universally loved because the whole point of entertainment is to provide escape and the controllers do not have this as a priority at all.
    It is why you see such a blatant distinction between OG BioWare old that no longer exist, but produced all the franchises that we love AND the current made for a modern day audience BioWare With their consistent pattern of project failures.
    Different priorities, that’s the underlying problem there. Old BioWare prioritized entertainment/escapism….. current day BioWare prioritizes profit and relevancy.
    Which makes the outcomes and project results astronomically different.
    And BioWare or EA is not alone in this. We see this prioritization across the multi billion dollar AAA landscape. It has been a very consistent and blatant pattern for a decade and only growing in its focus. A lot of projects release nowadays feel more like micro transaction, stores and personal social platform extensions than a game at all.🤦‍♂️
    Now the second source entity here, and I’m speaking to myself in this as well, is the consumer .
    I honestly think social media played a part in this as well as the natural growing success over the decades of this entertainment, medium… But complacency said in. You see more responses from the majority consumer base now to excuse and justify shortcomings or fail or subpar in adequate results , focused on the wrong priorities a project THAN accountability and consequence. It is a consumer complacency that is more than happy to settle to satiate instant gratification and boredom. The majority consumer does not have a spine anymore, they do not have a standard appropriate to the astronomical potential allotted to multi billion dollar companies with limitless resources and finances . And reiterating this potential be put towards the right priorities. Towards originality and creative, artistry and unapologetic authentic escape.
    But the majority consumer does not hold these standards nor have the spine to demand that they met. And again, I have fallen short in this area many times in the past as well. Providing access to my eyeballs and wallets for subpar and adequate results focused on the wrong priorities .
    Because you have to understand that the ultimate decision-making controllers do not care about these projects. It’s just business for them. It’s just money. They will never care, but they do care about what effects their profit. The focus of their priorities, stems from manipulating consumers, and exploiting them as much as possible. More precisely, exploiting as much as they will allow. Because that benefits them the most. So if they can move the line and normalize you to a low standard… Then this would be the most preferred outcome for them as it provides better profit on their end. But if you have a spine and cannot be persuaded to move the line in the direction that they prefer and instead you maintain a high-quality standard with focus on the right priority results… Then at bare minimum, that is what they will provide you with. Not because they care, but because that’s the only way to get access to your eyeballs and wallet. in that regard, a balance is kept.
    So this is a long-winded rant at this point to reiterate the source of the problems not only with Dred Wolf, but with many of these multibillion dollar AAA game companies and their results : the problem sources are the decision-maker controllers wrong priorities AND complacent consumers satiating instant gratification, and boredom with a willingness to settle. ( I have only realized with myself over the past few years and am doing better about)
    The solution is to grow that fine and restrict what we give our eyeball and wallet access to. Incentivize and reward the right priorities , such as most recently Larian with bg3,….. and any other priority be met with no access to eyeballs or wallets. If consumers reiterated consistently this… Then the product results and insane potential with their limitless resources and finances backing would be realized.
    “ you get the beast that you feed”
    If you can remember this, you will get projects far far, exceeding the results that you settle for currently . And this kind of demand backed by action would help real creative artist, developers, the most. Because the priorities you are focused on seeing are the same priorities that they care about : unapologetic, creativity, and escape.

    Honestly I kind of hated Inquisition. It had the best story of all 3 games. I was so mad that they soiled it with terrible gameplay. A clean slate gives me more hope than not. Granted, my standards were extremely low since the moment they announced it would be an MMO- showing an extreme disconnect with their playerbase. Knowing the people that advocated for THAT are gone, makes me hope we have new leaders that are a little more bright eyed a bushy tailed- a little less bogged down with years worth of corporate bullshit and money minded, and more willing to try new things and listen to the devs/staffs/communities feedback.
