I'm amazed how much people outside SA liked the trailer. Uncanny valley Morrigan spewing generic crap about destiny. And talking to the camera, which has to be the most embarrassingly cheesy thing of all. It makes you cringe.

The last entry in the series couldn't classify as having any effort put into it by any stretch, so I am curious what exactly makes you excited for this one, but I do hope many more goons follow your lead. If this ends up being less of a trainwreck than DA2 and ME3, I'll be somewhat disappointed.

Combat looks pretty drat rough and floaty from the gameplay stuff they've shown. Particularly that nonsense with the ice walls. Though if fun combat was what I played RPGs for then... I dunno Icewind Dale and Xenoblade or something. I really want to hear more about the stronghold stuff

If this ends up being less of a trainwreck than DA2 and ME3, I'll be somewhat disappointed. First of all DA2 had a lot going against it but it's still one of the better action RPGs of this generation purely because it's competing with garbage like LOTR: War in the North. I don't like the Two Worlds or Dragons Dogma style of RPGs so this is pretty much it when it comes to fantasy RPGs that might interest me. Besides that; the videos they have up on Game Informer look good, longer development time, Mike Laidlaw and Mark Darrah actually seem like they acknowledge that DA2 was flawed and Biowares marketing of it was flawed. I like Bioware and I like the setting, I also enjoyed the first half to two thirds of DA2 and all of ME3 once they released the extended ending. Bioware doesn't need to prove anything to me.

I don't know why you're comparing DA2 against those games. Games like Witcher 2, Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas would be the usual games to compare it against. Also it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that Bioware admits now that DA2 was (deeply) flawed. After all, they're trying to sell us a new product. Assuring your potential customers that your new product is better than the old one is just one of the things you do.

Except none of those are really party based (sure, Skyrim lets you have a companion and NV lets you have two, but they're not really units you can control or direct during the fight), so if party based is the gameplay he's looking for, well...

Is DA2 the only truly party based ARPG? You don't have direct control of your pawns in Dragon's Dogma, certainly. And I can't think of any others...

Well, you tell them when to use their abilities, which characters to attack, decide how they get built and specialize, and their conversations are a bulk of the noncombat gameplay, so I'd say yes. edit: And at least in Dragon's Dogma you have quick key commands for attacking, fleeing and helping and can build the pawns for different kinds of strategies and engagements. Which is a bit more than you can really do with a NV or Skyrim companion (where the best you can really do is give them equipment and hope they don't kill themselves getting in your way.) marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Sep 10, 2013 |

I would kill for a game that has the presentation of Mass Effect 2 but is structured like Elite where there isn't much of an endgame and it's mostly about you going around in your rad customized ship doing whatever.

Torrannor posted:Just a heads up, Planescape: Torment is VERY heavy on the role-play and story aspect. I believe you can get through the game without killing more than 10 enemies if you play a rogue. The Icewind Dale games are just the opposite, more focused on the tactical combat, you create each character yourself and cannot gain any NPC followers. So there is no party member interaction, but the story is still nice, if not as deep as the BG games or Planescape. Baldur's Gate is like a cross between Planescape and Icewind Dale (even though it came first). Well if its anything like Baldurs gate I think we'll be safe with DA: 3. Its clear that the games listed are more or less timeless if not technology wise, certainly storytelling and memorable wise. I still remember the first games I played of Baldurs Gate and how excited I was to catch some of that in DA: O. Then DA: 2 came and I felt like I was playing a very pretty and even exciting game, but it was all action. It never had the feeling of overcoming Sarevok and his rear end in a top hat buddies or strategically setting up a fight to overcome a powerful foe. Even the itemization felt crappy. If I spend all my time doing every sidequest I should be a freakin demi-god like in BG: 2, not just have an extra +1 on my daggers like in DA: 2. I want deep story and super interesting characters dammit.
