I think they'll probably mess up DA3 because it's difficult to reverse the whole mess of problems they have at the moment, but they might start turning things around after that and that may mean a playable DA4. Sadly though since so many people are perfectly happy with 90% of the horrible writing in ME2 and ME3 things are unlikely to ever really get back to where they were.
I really enjoyed the first one, but the second one for me was just sooo bad. Positioning your mage away from the fight and suddenly having 3 enemies magically appear out of nothing and instantly gank him was my WORST video game experience this gen. That is piss poor programming. And Anders was a complete *****, this coming from a total ladyboy too. Seriously, fuck that game.
Not to you, but to the comparison of Star Wars.irmasterlol said:
Now onto you. There already exists a series like that, and it's called Warhammer 40k. And this is what it looks like:

Nope. Even Origins wasn't all that good.
Bioware nolonger do the RTWP games that made them big and they are lightyears removed from knowing how to make a real action game.
DA3 will prolly be another crappy not-so-action game with a couple stats and much cringe-worthy dialogue.

No. Actually that's not what I was thinking at all. You don't want to know my opinion of Warhammer 40K.Chicago Ted said:Not to you, but to the comparison of Star Wars.irmasterlol said:

Nope I have pretty much no faith in Bioware now to tell a story after DA2 and ME3. It seems they have gotten rid of a lot of good devs and replaced them with yes men.
Which is a shame really

I would have looked forward to it and probably even bought it on release but I don't trust Bioware or EA to deliver a good game anymore so im probably just going to rent it at some point, maybe buy it used even if I lose access to half the games content that way. Oh no! If I buy it used I won't be able to play the multiplayer and that's what Dragon age is all about right!?!
Actually, when I first saw Empire, the lack of an ending did piss me off. I doubt that Dragon Age was intended to be a trilogy when Origins was made, given how long it was in production, and how it works perfectly well as a stand alone title. The thing for me is, DA2 didn't seem like a sequel to Origins in any meaningful way, all it did was shit on the ending to origins with the fate of The Warden, otherwise it was trying to tell a new story, in a new place, with a new cast. Calling DA2 a sequel seems like calling The Force Unleashed a sequel/prequel to the Jedi Knight series. The point here is DA2 didn't feel like a second installment, hence a heavier level of complaint about the crap ending.templar1138a said:
But ME3 is relevant to this discussion, as people's opinions of a developer will colour their enthusiasm for subsequent releases. like it or not, ME3 did generate a lot of bad feeling, so it being mentioned with regards to future Bioware releases is relevant.
On topic, DA2 was disappointing, although I did enhoy it. But combined with the ME3 disaster, I've lost faith in Bioware's ability to deliver a satisfying product. So I won't be preordering, may pick DA3 up later on, but it would have to be pretty damn impressive.
DA:O was quite awesome, and I actually (somewhat) enjoyed DA2. Granted, DA2 wasn't great by any means, and had a plethora of flaws, but I still enjoyed it. Honestly, I like the Thedas universe (despite it possibly being only named for being THE Dragon Age Setting *sigh*) and I am interested in seeing more in it. DA:O just had really got me interested in the universe, and I would love to see another story (though preferably better told) set there.
I believe Bioware already announced that they were planning on making DA3, at the very least it is not all that much of a stretch to see them working on it. If they are making DA3, I will certainly be interested in seeing what comes of it. The time since DA2 came out with no real news on DA3 is almost as long as the entire rushed dev cycle of DA2. That is promising at least.

At least the choreographed ballet dancing looked more alive than the drunk people swinging blades at each other suuuuuuuper slooooooooowly. In an RPG where you can actually dodge the attacks, the realistic movements would be OK, but in DA you can't dodge so more stylized battle moves are a good idea.Blood Brain Barrier said:
I do, and I've never stopped. I can sort of understand some of the bitching about DA2, but all of the flak it got was not necessary. I am eagerly awaiting DA3, and will most likely buy it first day.
I didn't know they were keeping all those elements in III. That's good. And I think the characters could have been handled better in II. I don't know, they just rubbed me the wrong way. But I attribute that to the horrendeously short development time BioWare was given.Sonic Doctor said:
Here's to hoping that by 2014 DAIII will be damn good.
I was refering to the fighting animations. My mistake, should have been clearer.kingthrall said:
The animations were too slow and just felt awkward in a fight. Whereas in II, while stylized, the animations felt more brutal due to their increased speed and thus more inline with what was happening.
While I agree that DAII is very much focused on Hawke, perhaps too much, I don't think you can call it a side-quest as the ending (which I won't elaborate on) has far-reaching implications for the world at large that will definitely effect the next game in the series. I think the focus on Hawke really hurt the game, though. It hindered your role playing ability, when it comes to defining your character's personality and Hawke doesn't really have much of a personality himself.Screamarie said:
Anyway, OT, I still am interested to see what hey'll do in DAIII, regardless of some disappointments in DAII. They said that they'll try to incorporate ideas from both DAO and DAII, That sounds good to me.
I loved Origins, I wish they spent another year or two on DA2, or at least made another city, Kirkwall is cool the first time you see it, still impressive the second time, not the 2 thousandth time, which is half way through the game, as long as they fix the problems in DA3 I'll be happy
I like the combat system more in Dragon Age: Origins than I do in Dragon Age 2. The combat in DA:O was was slow but it also gave me enough time to plan out my attacks without pausing. The combat in DA2 feels a bit to fast paced to me. I pause it and assign orders but it still feels fast paced.Durgiun said:
I am hopeful that DA3 will be better than DA2. It seems they know what problems people had with DA2.
