Not necessarily a MMO, but a game that has a clear priority for multiplayer rather than single player. How excited would you be? How disappointed would you be?
For me, it depends on how it is executed. However, I would hate to have key story bits locked behind group content like SWTOR flashpoints/Heroics/Operations. I like to enjoy game stories at my own pace and not have to depend on others.

*shrugs* Priorities in themselves are of no interest to me. Is there enough SP game in the box to be worth my $60? If yes, buy. If no, wait till the price drops to match however much SP content is there. That's quality as well as quantity; I dislike many things about TES games, but found Skyrim worth every penny of the $5 I ended up spending on it.

Like Alan said, for me it depends on the quantity and quality of what SP content IS in the game.
If it's clear that everything about the game is driving you towards MP (including gating SP content) then I'll likely skip it entirely, and enjoy other games, including the three released DA games that I either love or like a lot.

It won't be. EA is not quite that stupid yet. Besides, it's clear Anthem is meant to be the MP project from Bioware. They know DA needs to be SP.

It won't be.
To make money a business has to understand its market, and I think EA knows that Dragon Age fans overwhelmingly play the series for SP. While I don't expect MP to disappear from Dragon Age, the day its major installments become MP focused is the day I'm crowned Queen of England.

As far as I'm concerned, multiplayer games might as well not exist.

It could be the exact opposite. Laidlaw worked on DAI which was MMO-ish and as far as we know could've left the project whenDA team decided that DA4 will be a very tight SP game.

What if you, for once in your life, made a positive thread about anything Bioware related?
Would the sky fall? Would the world end?
Thankfully, we'll never know.

Remember SWTOR is a 10 year endeavor starting in 2012. So 2022 is when that will end. Which means between 2018 (assuming thats when Anthem releases) and 2022, Bioware would be managing 2 big MP projects. If not Dragon Age, then possibly Mass Effect.

KOTOR and KOTOR 2 were 100% SP games and yet we never really got a SP KOTOR 3 game despite the demand for it. Instead, we got a MMO.

It would certainly depend on how it was implemented, but I honestly don't see this happening.
I had fun in DAMP in the time I was playing it, but it never attracted more than a modest number of players, even at its height. It never caught on in the way ME3MP did. I just don't think there's a market for a MP-focused core game in this franchise. Maybe a small-scope spin-off game.
While I expect there will continue to be some MP component in DA4, the market for this game is clearly SP.

I'm not at all interested in MP in any game, so I probably wouldn't play it if it was heavily MP.
I don't really see that happening. Bioware are making an MP game and part of building a successful franchise is players knowing what they're going to get, while still novel with each instalment. A massive switch from SP to MP in an SP franchise would probably tank it.

Multiplayer in Dragon Age wasn’t really successful compared to Mass Effect. While I don’t mind multiplayer I think the next Dragon Age game will be single player.

I don't think that would happen, but if it did I would be done with Bioware. ME series is dead so the DA series is the only thing keeping Bioware on my radar. I have zero interest in anything else Bioware has to offer.

I know what my tell is. If the trailers for DA4 mention "vast open worlds for you to explore" I will slowly walk away and quitely wait for release while lowering my expectations. I will eventually buy it but we'll see if it's on release day or in a huge sale.

I have zero interest in anything else Bioware has to offer. Thats why I want DA4 to be a pure SP hit. That way we get a proper DA5. Im not big with this MP/Microtransaction stuff.

Nah. Don't see that happening. Game isn't designed for a MP focus. Never was. Maybe as an MMO but they'd have to create new tools and processes for Frostbite to do that and I don't see that happening.
