BioWare Tweet Confirms Dragon Age 3

I called it.
DA2 was a tech demo for a bigger game, in which most likely nothing changes other then getting some quality in story and such. The gameplay will be the same, polished, and well...you get it.
What I mean is simple, DA3 will be to DA2 what SH2 was to SH1.

Not a fan of DA2, huh?Susan Arendt said:
OT:I have NO problems with until and UNLESS they reveal any plans to release it ANY sooner than Holiday 2013. Read that Carefully Bioware: Holiday 2013; NOT 2012.
As much as I loved DA2, it would be great if it didn't feel quite so rushed this time around. I'd be prepared to wait until 2013 or even 2014 if it meant that they ironed out some of the obvious problems in the game. Make it feel more like Origins in that sense.
So yeah, you can't really compare Dragon Age to Oblivion in terms of voice work.
This may be true, but in all the honesty, the voice work was utter shit for Oblivion. Don't get me wrong, it was an awesome game, but terrible voice work. Sean Bean's part was the only plus.cursedseishi said:

Ahahaha. Ahahaha ahaha. Aha. (I hope you noticed the sarcasm by the way). Seriously, if you don't like the game, by all means, tell us about it. But please don't try to be funny when you're not. It's annoying.Xanthious said:
Loved it, actually. I was being sarcastic. I'm not at all surprised that they're going to continue the franchise, building on the new foundation that DA2 created.GrizzlerBorno said:
NO! Wait! make it good. Don't let the money grubbing whores of EA demand you put out another cash cow as quickly as possible. I'm actually willing to wait quite a while, if you take a step away from DA2 and it's copy pasted environments and lack of variety (I didn't mind the hordes of enemies, CC is easy). I'm sure the characters will be interesting and all that, but please, allow the time to make the actual game portion of it better.
Ok, on to predictions. I think it'll probably take place in Tevinter. It's the place we keep hearing more and more about and it's insulated from the events of the last games. Another reason is you can have a self-contained story there and then put out another one to cash in again, good business strategy. I imagine this one would truly focus on fighting the qunari and would have good diversity of environments; jungles of Seheron, massive city of Minrathous, rolling plains, coastlines, mountains, looking at the map, the place has it all.

I feel DA carries over as main story the canon playthrough which is fine as long as it's good. Having to make the story as complex as the whole lot of options you are allowed will lead to dead ends. Like killing Leliana would lead to Varric not beeing forced to tell Hawke's story or beeing searched for whatever reason DA3 will be about. A way to fix that is to limit your actions to unkillable npcs etc but people would be more outraged about that rather than havong the game continue a canon story.Woodsey said:
P.S why would anyone kill leliana anyway dammit
Their next tweet needs to be "btw, we fired Mike Laidlaw."Xanthious said:
After reading his interview, I don't think the man even wants to be making RPGs in the first place.
Hmm count me among the interested. I maybe the few who actually invested enough in the story to care about what the Chantry is doing about the Mage/Templar Uprising. Always neat to see Priest with swords
Heres hoping they spend all of DA3 looking for the Champion and give the angry mob of RPGers the chance to play a randomize character again. Bring "Role Play" back to R.P.G.

The phrase "fuck that" comes to mind. All they'd have to do with the ending is replace Leilana with a new character as Cassandra's boss.Cenequus said:I feel DA carries over as main story the canon playthrough which is fine as long as it's good.

And they could write it so that it the sequel-bait at least makes sense. Here's a tip: if you don't want people to have their own canon, either distance the games from one another, or don't make RPGs.
I'm not sure I care. once the new car smell wore off of dragon age 2 I came to realize the game wasn't all that fun. seriously I had a lot more fun with two worlds 2. voice acting be damned, the game was fun!
Not surprised.
They have some unresolved plots from Origins/Awakening (Morrigan's child, Architect's fate etc) and only spent an. Entire. Fucking. Game building up DA3.
I realize Kirkwall was a big city and all that, but can we please travel further again?
There's shit going down in Orlais according to King Alistair, Tevinter has more Qunari problems and if the stories are to be believed Antiva ALWAYS has shit.

Which foundation? The lazy reuse of the same dungeon over and over? The "When you press a button something awesome has to happen" nature of the combat? The complete and total removal of anything that might be considered strategic combat? Maybe the mobs that appear out of thin air just to be an excuse to artificially and lazily make combat seem harder? Possibly the total lack of being able to customize your supporting characters armor? Maybe that killer plot that ultimately involves you kicking it in the same lifeless city for the entire game?Susan Arendt said:
I'm sorry I honestly don't see how people can give DA2 a pass. It was a rushed out train wreck of a game. It was stripped of most everything that made the first one a good game. If they continue on with the formula they followed with DA2 then DA3 will be nothing more than another poorly made cash grab (I see this as the most likely scenario). However (time for some wishful thinking), if they can actually take the time to make this game more like the first it might be worth buying, doubtful though as EA has turned Bioware from one of the great developers to just another mediocre developer in a sea of mediocre developers.
In other news, it is currently 2:40 am in Australia and I am tired.
I mean, everyone knew this was going to happen. Bioware needs to focus on just one game at a time for a while, I think. Finish ME3, then start DA3 and take some time with it. The longer you take, the more likely people will buy it (Extending to about 3 years, though - we don't need a Duke Nukem Forever situation again)
