Game doesn't need MP but since EA it has to have it ... they definitely need to try something new. DA:I is probably my favorite game of all time and I barely touched the MP. They need new blood in that department.

Gonna be interesting to see how they go about Multiplayer this time around. DAMP didn't sit well with the multiplayer side of the community (coming from ME3 Multiplayer). I know a lot of people didn't like the RNG nature of getting items, though I thought the gear itself still made for some interesting builds.
I'm sure there's going to be disappointment for a lot of people that it's being included, but I imagine for most people (who've played Biowares more recent games) they aren't surprised at this point.
Me personally, I don't think BioWares gonna be able to capture the same player sentiments that they had back in ME3 MP.

i don't know if i'll bother with the multiplayer, but as long as the team working on it is different than the team working on the main game i'm good.

It helped for me that my brother and good buddy were like my main partners for the multi but even just pugging was a blast.

If you could play with AI bot-companions, I'd give it a go. Since I do not know anyone who'd play the main game, it would have to be free MP so i could play with people I know. Probably never going to happen, so I'll skip this MP as I have the others.

Sorry but I'm not into MP prefer SP games but with that said I'm giving Anthem a try and that is only because I do not know when the next (if there is ever) SP game that Bioware will produce, only time will tell and that is something I'm running out of.

On the bright side this might be an indication they are late in production. Ok, colfoley, that's our first shared moment of the year, yay 2019! Good insight. I do think this game is significantly further along than almost any of us think. ... As for the actual MP - I really, really didn't get DAIMP. It "felt" even worse than the SP, which was an accomplishment. Nothing I did felt impactful, either due to lag handling or how poorly I adapted to their KBM port despite keybinding several ways once given the chance. Gave it maybe 2 weeks playing from launch, went back to ME3MP and never looked back. So, they have an uphill climb getting me to play it. But I'll try it if DA4 is really good. If DA4 isn't really good, I won't be getting it on the first sale weekend, and may not play any of it, MP included. DA4MP should be a hardcore Gauntlet remake in the FB3 engine; Elf needs food badly

I mean it all really depends the fact that they are hiring people at all could be a bad sign but I believe as late as DAI that they made sure that its multiplayer component would be the last thing. It also really depends on a lot of things but I suppose there could be a chance we could get the game early 2020.

I'm intrigued by some of the ideas in here about trying to bring your SP protagonist into MP. Also kinda made me think about how cool it would be if you could customize your own MP character, like in an MMO. Or if we might be seeing pre-set characters again like all their other MPs so far (Turian Sentinel equivalent, pls, if that's the case). Intrigued me enough I popped up a poll in this thread: What kind of MP character would you like playing best?I kinda thought about putting the poll here since this thread was already talking about it, but that would require me to edit the OP's... well... OP and I would feel rude as hell to do that, so I made it a separate thought.

I haven’t played DAMP and don’t intend to, but I do think SP benefits from having another testbed for combat. Yeah developers can make any testbed they want, but when it’s in the form of MP I assume they’re more likely to get more dogfooding. A fun testbed gets more testing than a boring one.

Why is this treated like a disaster? I mean, you don't need such news to know that DA4 will have a multiplayer mode. You did know that since the beginning. People just keep worrying about anything of Bioware. On the contrary, CDPR had been hiring 'network programmer' with multiplayer ability for Cyberpunk 2077 for years, but people still praise like it is a exclusive singleplayer game.

As long as it is in NO WAY CONNECTED to the SP (same as Inquisition), then I'm good. Actually... - the agents of multiplayer are in the castle, around the yard and so on, but one cannot interact with them. I rate DAIMP more fun than ME3MP - So I'm excited about this. I didnt touch multiplayer on DAI since year ago, but found out it was good fantasy romp with friends. Of course it has its problems like the promotion and some items needed to have to get better items, but its not said anywhere you need to cling to those.. also not that other MP's dont have problems Anyway, as always SP first, MP second for me.

Can't speak for anyone else but my sentiments align around the fact that DA:I is tip top for me and it honestly feels a bit strange that I didn't get into the MP a bit more. I would love to love all aspects of my favorite game ... hope that makes sense. I still feel like the game doesn't need MP but if they going to have it, make it more compelling.
Character creation for the MP mode would be a nice start.
I feel like they kind of tried to ME style MP with a DA twist. I would scratch that whole idea as even ME:AMP didn't seem to capture the magic of ME3MP.

Which is a shame, because I actually like some of those characters based on what I've read about them! They have interesting backstories and personalities and I'd love to see them as fully-realized characters in the SP campaign. Especially Korbin (dwarf Legionnaire who took the fall for someone else and was exiled to the Legion because of it; is fascinated by the surface), Katari (a Tal-Vashoth, could always stand to see more of those), Tamar (one of the Dragondraste cultists from DAO), and Luka (dwarf prisoner of the Carta who lured Hawke to Corypheus in Legacy). I love seeing them around Skyhold because it reminds me that they and their very cool character concepts exist. And of course there's Sky Watcher/Amund and Isabela, who are fully-realized characters outside of DAMP.

The multiplayer is still great fun and very playable, even after 4 years.
I understand if MP is not your thing but the game DOES need it. It's a blast with friends.
Just a shame there wasn't more levels but it wasn't well financed at all.
Luke Barrett saved MP and made it incredibly fun. I like the MP more than SP.
My view is probably biased as I am ranked #1 on MP with 1000's of hours logged.

EDIT: In all seriousness though, I do think Luke can bring something positive to the table. Heartbreaker difficulty was probably one of the most punishing, but unique PvE experience I've had where the difficulty changes were so stark.
