... since the hell when was DA:O isometric? I feel you are thinking of a different game...Wayneguard said:I certainly hope there will be a Dragon Age 3. I want a dedicated isometric perspective like in the 1st one though.
Absolutely! The Dragon Age universe still has a lot of good stories to be told, the story is far from over.Should there be a dragon age 3?
I felt the stakes were far more raised in 2, as it was a much more human drama. The darkspawn in Origins were a faceless mass of nothing that I couldn't bring myself to care about too much because there was no personality or goal of theirs to engage with. All the while, the far more interesting tale of Loghain's betrayal and coup had to take a back seat. The pro- and antagonists of 2 were people whose ideals and actions you could react to more complexly.Fuhrlock said:DA:O is probably my favourite game ever, and while I am aware of what many percieve as its problem (combat being what I hear complained about most) at the end of the day the story and the characters get me invested every time I play the game, to the point I find it slightly irratating that there isnt a character I dislike.
I appreciated what DA2 tried to do to sort the combat issues (though I feel too many RPG elements became over simplified), but at the end of the day the story tried to do too much and at the same time never raised the stakes to match that in DA:O (my crowning example of this is in the final section of the game cullen telling you, if you sided with the templars, that the crisis of the ferelden circle was much worse...and that was one of the easier bits of origin). As for the characters they were very hit and miss, which resulted in me not really caring too much overall.
For my part I play a Bioware game for the story and characters and unless the actual gameplay is cripplingly bad I probably won't be to badly affected. So DA3 I would be more than happy to see providing priority is given to the writting with respect to making it more like DA:O, as for the gameplay sort it out whichever way people generally prefer
