No. People outside the US and Canada don't constantly feel the urge to burst out in a song. In 9 out of 10 situations singing is just out of place and cringy. Um... is this a common stereotype about either Americans OR Canadians? What is it based on? Because every country that HAS an entertainment industry has musicals. Because the amount of singing that happens in Hollywood movies, oftentimes what feels quite forced singing, even in serious movies is quite astonishing. Most people I know feel the same and we often joke about that.

Whereas if you'd told me that Americans have sex with their guns, or have a cult that worships Ronald McDonald, I would have believed you without question.

The US gun fetish does not really impress/scare me that much, believe it or not, we have quite a lively gun culture going on here in Austria. About 30 firearms per 100 citizen, and thanks to the ever dwindling security situation here in Europe we break gun sales every year, that number is climbing HARD. And Austria is next to the #2 gun fetish country in the world, Switzerland, and that rubs off too. I love my guns, and I am not just talking about my biceps.

You're both not far off. That's because Americans like to diddle themselves with their guns while they're singing inside of a McDonald's, it's all very motivating. Anyway, as an American I approve of this thread. I loved the music

Oooh, how about a quest, similar to the play in Witcher 3, or the opera in Final Fantasy 6, where we have to improvise a musical performance (possibly to infiltrate a palace or event?).
EDIT: Also FF7 has a similar event. It's hardly a new concept for RPGs.

Ooga, booga, boogity boo! We are the Darkspawn, coming for you! Ooga, booga, boogity, borks Stop calling us a cheap knock-off of orcs!
I bet you think that, when we capture your wives, We show them some mercy by ending their lives. But we drag them down to the Earth's very core. And force-feed them gallons of black ich-or! SO THEY CAN MAKE MORE OF US!!!
Ooga, booga, boogity bup! I bet you think that that's pretty fucked up! Ooga, booga, boogity blight. Enjoy dwelling on it for the rest of the night!

TBH,song cutscene after destroying Haven was cringy to me. I wish i had an option to skip it. Animation was sloppy and the whole narrative "guys I'll start singing out of nowhere and you will catch up and at the end we will kneel down to Herald" was unrealistic. On the contrary- Leliana's song in DAO felt better, it showed how different companions react to her singing. I loved Priscilla song in Witcher 3, this is what I think should be an example of prefect execution- it has setup, story behind, everything unfolds beautifully. If in next DA they will follow this part, I will be most pleased. If not, i'd rather have no songs than cringy ones

I'm all for more singing in Thedas, in all forms. Bard song, companions singing or serious Musical numbers. In your heart shall burn is till my overall favourite gaming moment. The Dawn Will Come gave me a legit emotional moment first time I played DAI. Followed up by the walk to Skyhold and the music, and Sola's evil look....I loved it and I'm not ashamed. And you shouldn't! Wear your emotional moment proud! Here's to great musical numbers to come! No. People outside the US and Canada don't constantly feel the urge to burst out in a song. In 9 out of 10 situations singing is just out of place and cringy. How about that edelweiss thing and all those hills alive with the sound of music eh?
