I never said I definitively wanted the game to suck, just that preorderers being upset as a result would give me a small pleasure. Also, I would be totally cool with fighting a giant monster wolf. But I'd hope there'd be more 'strategy' than what fighting the giant ogres or other damage sponge enemies require. God I hope damage sponges are a thing of the past.

Well, I put $5 down, if against all odds it turns out good then I have a reserve deluxe edition, if it sucks then I just loaned my future self the price of some fast food.Drifter posted:I never said I definitively wanted the game to suck, just that preorderers being upset as a result would give me a small pleasure.

Random rear end in a top hat posted:Oh god, it's happening, I'm seriously considering preordering. Every loving time they say they've changed, every time I end up believing them, and every time I end up burned and swearing to myself that this is the last time, and it never is. Every time you want to pre-order think of the following; "They said the same things with Dragon Age 2." "They promised the same things with Dragon Age 2." "Dragon Age 2 is a boring piece of poo poo with writing on the same level as Days of Our Lives." For me this is literally the first Bioware game I'm not pre-ordering and I'm even doubting I'll get it on day one.

One thing I've actually liked about Bioware games since DAO is the nicknacky little DLC you can get. I'm not talking about the paid stuff but the ones under Dr. Pepper caps and et cetera.

Drifter posted:I never said I definitively wanted the game to suck, just that preorderers being upset as a result would give me a small pleasure. Wasn't saying you were. It's just sort of against the past 90 or so pages of this thread to be hopeful for Inquisition to be near Origins levels of game quality.  I'm kind of torn between wanting this to be the "Oh poo poo, they actually learned from their mistakes" game and three for three in Bioware loving up everything it touches sans whoever does their multiplayer.

Watching the trailer again I noticed that an Inquisitor using magic was wearing the dragon helmet so I think cross-class equipment is possible. More importantly, I think any Inquisitor can wear the hat.

I like how Bioware is in favor of transclass people. I'm glad how they're giving this serious issue more exposure with their games, but being trans* isn't something you can take on and off like some outrageous outfit; it's an identity. It's problematic the way they portray the entire class community. And they're acting like it's okay to use a dragon helm to wear (when it's actually bad for your spellcasting).

Class identity is fluid, and I hope the character creation options reflect that: -Mage -Warrior -Rogue -Omniclass -Demibuffer etc. I know we can trust bioware to handle this issue with sensitivity and haha oh my god I can't even finish, gently caress that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUH5eFr3qT4

I'm pretty sure they're going to do with the rift sealing powers what they did with the blood magic from on-disc DLC in Origins and have these thematically-congruent powers across the three classes, because you're closing loving dimensional rifts and poo poo I'm sure you can zap a guy or charge your sword with that stuff too

Looking forward to you all buying this game and then coming in here a week after release to complain about how much it sucked.Zhentar posted:The biggest problem with DA2 was the very rushed development. DA:I has been given twice as long to bake, so hell yes they can have my pre-order money. Rushed development doesn't excuse a plot that atrociously bad, sorry. Even as a rough draft I would of asked what the gently caress they could possibly be thinking.  "Looks like this tranquil solution wasn't the holocaust you imagined"

It wasn't the romance achievements that bothered me in DAO, it's that there was seriously an achievement for every possible ending; Alistair, Loghain and the Warden sacrificing themselves, or cheating death with the god-baby. I liked DAO, but I dunno if I like it enough to play a fifty hour game four times. And even if you're trying to cheese it, that's still you playing through like 3-4 hours of the same content at least three times. Still not sure if it's as bad as ME1's companion achievements, but it's drat close.

The ME1 companion achievements were bullshit because they revolved around you dragging two specific characters around for like 75% of the game content. That's at least a few complete playthroughs of the game if you know what you're doing. I much preferred replaying 4 hours of content than dealing with ME1's repeat playthroughs.

Nothing was worse than PLAY MOST OF THE GAME WITH THIS CHARACTER chevs from ME 1. And thankfully, neither ME nor DA 2 showed any sign of being that abusive to the gamer score addicts, so maybe there's hope yet that Inquisition won't be anything worse than "here's a digital badge to mark your fake conquest with a character, player!".
