It's interesting that they're releasing both a new book this summer (Hard in Hightown), and a rerelease deluxe edition of the first DA book. Seems like they're starting to hype a new game.

I like the earnestness and interactions of the party members in Bioware RPGs. It doesn't bother me that the cast breaks into song like once a game, especially when the moment called for it, like it did in that instance.

snoremac posted:God, the aesthetic at the bottom of the Deep Roads just before The Wellspring is so eerily captivating. In a game that’s already got some great art direction that takes the cake. It's really good. I hope we see more of the levels used in The Descent in future games.

The Bioware store is having a huge sale on basically everything. Some stuff is like 90% off. I wonder if that's not a great sign for the future of their non-Anthem games. Or just their games in general.

Wolfsheim posted:If you ever bothered playing Witch Hunt (its not that bad) and imported a female mage character it comes up again with two gossiping mages talking about how he left for a different Circle because of his lost love. It's actually kind of crazy how you can find references to Inquisition in Origins. There was obviously a plan for these games which is pretty admirable.

SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:It’s frustrating that the biggest reason for lack of options tends to be dev laziness/lack of genuine time to program these things and it ends up translating into “Bioware doesn’t care* about gay people” Cullen and Solas were added in as romances late in development. Which is weird since Cullen had been so (oddly) popular since the first game, and Solas' romance is probably the single most relevant to the overall story. Ginette Reno posted:Origins is definitely the best of the three imo. I like DA:I a lot but it easily has the worst side quests overall. Some are decent though.

Sten is briefly mentioned in DA:I, but I forget under what circumstances. I think Varric talks about him because he meets him with Alistair in one of the comics. Shale is not mentioned, and does not die in any of the books. She's still around, somewhere.

Taear posted:I'll look forward to that happening in 2020 or whenever. The most concerning thing I've read is that DA4 has already been "rebooted" behind the scenes, somehow. I don't get how you can reboot it when we already know DA4's plot has been broadly written out for years; it was supposed to be the latter half of DA3's before DA3's focus got tighter.

NikkolasKing posted:Yeah just make sure you have enough Friendship/Rivalry with her to ensure she returns at the end of Act 2 with the Tome. Then when the Arishok says "we're leaving....WITH the thief" you say "sure." I like that choices like this exist, but I really hate how the party handles it. You'd think Fenris and Aveline would leave if you did that, but nope.

Bumblebee posted:The Bioware store is closing. Should we be concerned? Yes. It's pretty obvious to me that Dragon Age is being completely mismanaged, and Anthem is Bioware's last chance. Which is insane to me because DA is a property that has always been commercially successful.

Dragon Age after its third game is in a much stronger position than Mass Effect was. People generally liked Inquisition, and people want to know what happens next in its story, which so far has been pretty well done and soundly constructed. The same can't be said for Mass Effect 3. Again, it's just crazy to me that they'd trash all this work and potential for profit.

Andromeda is worse than DA2. DA2, at the very least, is connected to Dragon Age as a whole. It fits into the narratives of Origins and Inquisition. Andromeda doesn't. Also, I say that as someone who liked it more than most people.

DA2 feels like it has a reason for existing though. Andromeda doesn't. Andromeda never overcomes its incredibly awkward premise that it's a sequel that wants to have nothing at all to do with the three very successful games that came before it.

Out of no where, there's two more DA tie-ins coming out. An addition to the table top RPG, and a special edition of the second tie-in book. I'm thinking all this new stuff is part of the lead up to DA4.

Also, I always thought it was bullshit that the Mabari was a DLC character when he was better and more interesting than Sebastian.

No one else seems to have interpreted that as him leaving, so maybe I misread it? I don't know. But a Dragon Age without Weekes--and also without all the other big names who left--is going to be poo poo.

precision posted:God help me I'm pretty tempted to get Hard in Hightown I got it. It's very short, and was probably my least favorite of the books, but it's still fun since it's literally a book by Varric. There's weirdly a lot of information about the Executors in it, which I guess is semi-canon since it's stuff Varric would know, but filtered through his fictional writing.

Stroop There It Is posted:Where are you getting this from? As far as I know the only one like that is Cullen... Yeah, there's like one clear example of that, and that's Cullen. And even then, he wasn't a romance until third game, and wasn't even a playable party member. The fan service stuff is being exaggerated.

I've always considered DA2 to be a bad game that I nonetheless kind of love. I actually enjoyed the gameplay, and I think the characters are well written and fun to interact with. It obviously is still bad though because it had like two or three maps that it used for all quests, and a claustrophobically small game world that didn't even take advantage of the cool time gimmick. DA2 with more money and effort might be best the best in the series, but it was only in development for less than a year.

I wouldn't mind Dragon Age: Tactics as a spinoff until DA4. It's certainly better than a 76 or Immortal situation, and you could still have party relationship dynamics like Fire Emblem or something.

DA4 retaining DA:I's art style, as well as following up on the DA2 idol and Solas is great. That's pretty much exactly what I wanted, and even the tiny bit of original music was really good.

DA:I should've been smaller and tighter, but the shittier aspects of the open world didn't stop it from being a good game. I should hope Bioware knows what works for them and what doesn't, and takes lessons from DA:I, Andromeda, and Anthem.

The Witcher 3 is a great game, but the combat pretty quickly becomes boring and way too easy even on the highest difficulty. The three DA games don't really have uniform difficulty (even within the same game), but most of the time there's at least some challenge.
