Neovalen Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 October 7th Release Really looking forward to this... hope its not disappointing like DA:2 was. I really love the setting and storylines. DA:O was one of my favorite games of all time... if not my favorite period.
HannibalsChef Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Looks very nice. High hopes for Bioware at their best. Slightly cheesey sounding tough guy character talking about raining demons, probably required by EA.
Neovalen Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 Forgot to note they also revamped https://www.dragonage.com with lots of new info also. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
Aiyen Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 It always look nice in trailers! At least it makes it look interesting enough to keep an eye out for. Depending on how good it becomes then I might lift my origin ban.
TechAngel85 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Here is some gameplay from a gaming event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80frogBXfNY
CJ2311 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Here's hoping they won't reuse the stupid camera and fighting systems from the abomination that DA2 was...
EssArrBee Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 The thing about Bioware is that you can always count on good writing. Even the games people don't care for, ME3 and DA2, have solid writing and dialogue. I am hesitant to pre-purchase the game though, now that the two guys that left the company are not there anymore.
TechAngel85 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 I completely skipped DA2 because I heard too many bad things about it. I actually never completed the story from Origins either. I loved the game; however, always ended up stop playing it and never returning as I would find myself too busy or into something else. I do that a lot...play a game til I'm tired of it, switch to something else and may or may not return to the first game that I never finished. lol EDIT:On that same note, I'll not be finishing Mass Effect (never have either.) I was doing well, but since I switched to Windows 8, my old saves do not work properly. Therefore, I'll most likely abandon it and move on to Mass Effect 2 rather than starting over.
CJ2311 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Mass Effect 3 had a great gameplay though, not just the story. It's flaw was mostly the ending(s). Dragon Age 2 on the other hand is more of an action RPG (and from what I've seen so far in the video TechAngel shared, DA3 is heading in the same direction :/) EDIT: @Tech: You should really finish DA:O then, it's bloody brilliant, and totally worth playing and replaying again. :D Edited April 23, 2014 by CJ2311
Neovalen Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 I've seen tons of gameplay footage from various sources that I feel reassured its not a reuse fest like DA2. It looks to feature most if not all known lore locations/regions. The combat looks decent and the enemies are not scaled like in many games... remains to be seen the level of character interaction, etc. The tactical overhead camera and giving orders while paused is back from DA:O so it won't be stuck camera but likely will be more fast paced like DA2 and on a more massive scale.
HannibalsChef Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 DA2 I think was ruined by studio pushing devs to ship too quickly, to cash in. Same thing happened to KOTOR 2 - same reused environments problem too. They seem to have taken time over this one. Shame it's not seem more like DAO in gameplay though.
Neovalen Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 Agree... DA2 was rushed while it seems they are taking the time for DA:I... having multiple races for the player is back like DA:O as well.
EssArrBee Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 I want the gameplay to be a cross of ME2/3 and DAO. DOn't know how that would work because DAO was semi-turn based, but I think it would be fun to find out. Actually, they should just make a game where you play as Morrigan and go around being a bad ass witch. Just mess everything up and be a completely terrible person. That would be ideal, but I am kinda awful that way when I play games. I always go dark side.

Lauren Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 I was thisclose to just setting up a sleeping bag in the Bioware base at PAX... also I just read that Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth) did some voicework. Is it ok if fandoms cross the streams?I'm pretty excited to see this engine in action and hopefully get some very interesting combat mechanics. I read that you can run with 3x of a class with how they have the companions set up - it's going to be tough to choose one main party comp :(
