Bioware announces Dragon Age 3: Inquisition
- Thread starter crazyrabbits
- Start date
Facebook just told me about this as well. I am getting the impression that Bioware is a child at prayer for this one. They REEEEAAAAALLLY are trying not to fuck this up. Maybe it will actually be good!

Really looking forward to this one, since I'm one of the 3 people in the world who thought Dragon Age 2 was pretty good (bless me and my low standards). I guess for a lot of people this will confirm whether they continue to buy Bioware products or not... no pressure then!
Heh, they clearly know that after DA2, not to mention the ME3 endings, folks are watching them like eagles
Or rather, like vultures.
Oh hey, Frostbite 2 engine with a Bioware game. That's interesting.
Call me a blind fanboy, but I'm actually intrigued.

didnt they say this same stuff about DA2?
After Mass Effect 3, and DA2, I'm not exactly.... convinced.
Sounds like the same PR propaganda they pulled with DA2.

Oooh, Frostbite 2 with Dragon Age should be good. Looking forward to this after enjoying both previous Dragon Ages
The only thing that stands out is the frostbite 2 engine. Now if only they could fix the damn smugness that permeated DA2.
I've said it many times before, but I'll say it again: I give the DA team a vote of confidence on this one. Unlike the ME team, which (to this day) has been entirely incapable of admitting any mistakes were made in ME3, the DA team came out and admitted they screwed up.
I may not exactly agree with their public comments since then (trying to make it more like Skyrim, putting concepts back in that have been RPG staples since the early 90's), but at least they're willing to own up to their mistakes. For that (and as someone who bought DA:O and 2), I will give them my cautious attention.

Ooh, interesting. I think!
It seems like the 3rd game, judging by the name, will connect more to the 2nd title rather then the 1st. What I am -really- curious about is how the hell they will connect the main characters from those two previous titles into nr.3. I dont see that being done too easily, especielly since a lot of people probably have their warden still alive. Then again, two main characters? That would be sort of interesting. I just hope for the love of god that they dont introduce a new protagonist.
Also, the frostbite engine? This is gonna be interesting, I'll give it that much.

Ok, first thought.
Additionally what this guy said. I can't get excited for videogames anymore unless it is something relatable to games I already have fond memories of. However, Bioware make good games, they haven't made fantastic games since the end of 2009/beginning of 2010, but it will probably be a good game in the end. Of course, that depends if they choose to implement the retarded DA-version of the dialogue wheel. I guess that is somewhat bearable if the end product is closer to Baldur's Gate and Origins.Fappy said:
It does sound like PR spin, but if you recall, a lot of the things people hated in Dragon Age II were announced very early. People were already raging a year before the release of Dragon Age II. Bioware's response was something like "trust us, man, we know what we're doing, you'll change your mind when you get the game". So the critics got to enjoy a whole year of... that, and obviously no one liked what they got. Bioware really didn't want people to buy that game lol.SajuukKhar said:
So if they start releasing details that sound terrible, they probably will be. If they keep their big mouths shut for a change or it actually sounds pretty good, that will at least be different from what happened leading up to DA2
It's easy to just wallow in my feelings of disappointment and annoyance at Bioware, but I will try to keep and open mind.
They're completely different games though. I prefer Skyrim over DA2, but I don't really think it's a fair comparison. Yeah, they're both Fantasy RPGs, but they have very different designs and ideas. I think a more apt comparison would be comparing DAO to DA2. I see far more of that around here. Not so sure what it has been looking like on the BSN as of late though.Nimcha said:
