That's the only way... Thing is time is not on my side anymore and I have so much things to do well then like me hopefully both our lives will be more sorted with the "extra" wait so we can both enjoy it properly. By the time DAI was released, I was having a good year. Then almost half a year later shit like financial issues happened. I replayed DAI again just to cope with the growing anxieties. It helped a lot. When the DA4 trailer was revealed, it was as if I found a remedy although life's been on a steady decline. So this news made me die a little inside. I know that there is a lot of entertainment options but none of them made me feel safe for a while. I just binged and binged. The previous binge was TW3 and now I'm binge watching Lost. I'm afraid I don't know what to do in these 3 years. Hope things go well

I am pissed that I invested so much of my time, energy, feelings into DAI and it's world. The worst part- they left DAI ending open, they said they would like to finish Solas/Lavellan story in the next game. And they next game is 8 years away! It would have been much easier, if we had a closure. a real one. Instead of a cliffhanger. I agree with this, particularly as Trespasser struck me as a prolonged trailer for the next game. Now if they had left out the Solas part and concentrated on the Exalted Council and the scaling down/disbanding of the Inquisition then that would have been closure. That was allegedly the purpose of Trespasser, to tie off the Inquisitor's story. Then we had the whole conversation with Solas, the aggressive disband option which definitely didn't sound like the Inquisitor going into retirement and the final epilogue scene where our PC is still actively involved in the hunt for Solas, even if they declare they need some new recruits who he doesn't know. Everyone I have spoken with who played Trespasser and didn't know about the alleged "different PC every game declaration" has assumed they will be continuing the Inquisitor's story next game (even if technically they are no longer Inquisitor). To be fair on the writers though, if that earlier article is to be believed (and in the light of this latest information I think it should), then it shouldn't have been an 8 year wait (7 from the release of Trespasser). Allegedly they were a good way along with development of DA4 when the original material was ditched and they had to begin again from scratch, circa 2017/18 (2-3 years after Trespasser). Now if they had stuck with the original material it is likely we would have had the sequel by the end of 2020 at the latest, which would still have been a 5 year wait from Trespasser. However, the time lost with the abortive development is why it seems we must wait another 3 years before we see anything. Personally I am no longer going to see it as a sequel but an entirely new game set in roughly the same universe as the previous ones, a bit like the relationship between the MET and Andromeda, which I have never played because my computer wasn't powerful enough. I just hope, after 8 years, DA4 will be a more polished offering than Andromeda was and so is worth the wait.

LOL @ EARLIEST release date! Bioware will have faded away into irrevelance completely by then. Good thing I don't care anymore. Eight years between games of a franchise. Yeah, no. Good luck with your live service game, Bioware... Welp, that'll make it yet another game I'm waiting for and will do so for a while. I'm still waiting for next TES after all, and the last one has been released exactly 8 years ago at Nov 11th. Heck, we don't even know a theoretical date for that one

You bastard, I turn 32 in less than two weeks!
If someone had told me I would be 35 when the next installment came out I would have cried from shock and disappointment.
*pats the bunny* I'm 34 since 21 days so I'm gonna be 36/37 when DA4 comes out. Now the question is, how old are we gonna be when DA5 comes out. It was said that they were planning to have 5 games, right?

What is happening is what I said would happen when EA merged Montréal BioWare with Motive: BioWare is now too small to work on parallel AAA projects like they were doing back in 2009-2012. Casey had it right when he said they should go the AA route in one of his blog, hopefully that is what they are doing now that Anthem was released.

Tevinter nights is a collection of stories and I agree with you that they'll drop soon. It's probably Bio's way of filling out the back story which won't be seen in the game. They've been doing this since the Codex was created. Want to know more? .. read the Codex. Don't bother developing the story via char. interaction. Too bad, really. I just loved the pub setting in DA2. Now? it's buy a comic or read the Codex entries.

Moving on was my solution. Lately I'm playing Diplomacy against some damn very good AIs and I mean they beat me. Plus, Path of the Exile, a new and free FreeOrion, yes,yes an updated Orion simulation. I've found my original RFTS DOS game which I play under DOSBOX and the new Freeciv2.
Besides, Bio's direction has changed and thus the new DA will be different than what most expect.

When did I get old? This is the worst. Joey from Friends summed this feeling up the best;

Man I miss when bioware used to put games out without aggravating people Waiting 8 years for a sequel is nothing but a turn off lol. At this point this is just funny to me, personally, because I seem to be picking fantasy stories I have to wait years for As mentioned before, TESVI is nowhere to be seen on the horizon and neither is another volume of ASOIAF. At this point I'm somewhat used to the Long Wait. ...I'd like to remind people tho that we don't know for sure when exactly DA4 will show up. In fact the guy who's read the Earnings Report said that the comments for DA was given somewhat off hand and he wouldn't put too much stock into the specificity of them. That's not to say that Bioware will surprise us with DA release this or next Holiday season, lol - just that there were no definitive statements in the Report and thus EA won't be accused of lying to stockholders if the date was in fact different from what it was 'likely' to be around.

Just started FF14 for example One of us. One of us. One of us.
Sorry. I must acknowledge every other FF14 player I run in to outside the game. Its in the TOS. Also, don't story skip, and do the CT raids when you hit 50, they're impoooortaaaant~~~ And I'm on Cactuar, if you need an FC, feel free to PM me. My Au'Ra I would never story skip, the thought of it is just inconceivable to me. I'm on Adamantoise! We're in the same Cluster! I already found a FC, but thank you. I feel like I'm one of the few who doesn't mind the wait. 2022 may be a few years in the future, but I still have a lot games to catch up on. Just started FF14....Man, I hope you know just how long its going to take you to catch up. There's A LOT of content to go through. Good luck, the game is awesome. Yeah, I heard it's long, but I don't mind. Thanks.

Some of the comments here in this thread are quite amusing.
You are buying DA4 when it comes out Fall 2022, you will play it and, despite how good it is, you will go into great detail how much it disappointed you, how it can't compare to "______" game produced by CDPR/Ubisoft/Larian/Fill-in-your-dev-here, and how "THIS" particular concept you conceived of would have made the game so much better if only the fools at BioWare had thought along similar lines as yourself.
Just a question of time at this point...

And to do a live service, it would have to be playable beyond its ending. So a change to the ME3 ending would have to be made to accommodate that.
