Will andromeda get a dragons keep type thing like dragon age inquisition?

Maaayyyybbbe? I mean there is less imputus for them to do so because the next game will likely be within this console generation (in fact console generations might be a thing of the past but that is a whole different debate). On the flip side it might be a good idea if something happened to your saves. Hell I could even see the Keep being implemented for this game and allowing you to sort of import your choices into the game that you have made...in case something happens to your saves. IE it crashes, you do not want to start over from the beginning, so you recreate your game 'in the keep' and then upload that into the game.

I'd rather do my own saves. Dragon's Keep always frustrated me. I could create some scenarios, but then when I tried to create something new, it wouldn't import. And I do like the continuity of something I've been playing rather than just make it up in a few minutes.

I like DA Keep better. I don't really treat game saves with a lot of sanctity. For example, I noticed one person having ended up with some important social status and responsibility in DAI. I'm being vague to avoid spoilers even it's probably not really all that spoilery. Now when I look at a wiki on the known conditions it seems like it should have been someone else. Indeed, however it turned out had to be some inconsequential choice that I made. So Bioware has to do their calculation on how to have an event play out. Now it's not about getting what I want. It's about getting an outcome that makes sense. I am more than happy to go meta and determine that Bioware didn't do their calculations right and that the consequences in game suffered for it. Again, I don't really care about the save file. I care about the story in my mind that the game facilitates. If something disappointing happens, that's fair and is a good story, great. If something random happens that makes no sense, not great.

And that did happen in DAI. So I would totally use DAI Keep to overwrite the consequences for DA4.

So for me DA Keep has both the advantages of fewer bugs and the advantage of letting me rewrite the story if I desire or change platforms easily.

Oh, one more thing I did in DA Keep that I liked. So I had a human male warden mage that I ran for DAO. Loved that character. Liked the playthrough. No regrets. Great experience. Then I had a human male mage for DA2. It was cool. Then I made a human female archer in DA2 as an alt. Turns out I liked her more than my DA2 mage. And when later DLC came out, I realized I was playing her first. She had become my main. So I blended my first warden's story and with the character that came to be my favorite Hawke (even though I hadn't imported my Warden's story in that playthrough. And that was cool.

You don't always get a story right on the first draft. Mostly you never do. There's revision. But I don't want to do some 50-hour playthrough to change a few things in the middle.

Hmm. Tough call. I find giltspur's points valid on the value of the keep, and I definitely did do some minor revisionist history with some of my DA games at import. But one thing I find off-putting about that is it takes some of the mystique out of it. When they import my actual save I don't _know_ for sure what they are checking, nor where it will show up in my new game. When I do it all through the keep, not only do I now know the decisions both large and small that Bioware has deigned relevant, but it also gives me this slightly uneasy sensation that my 100 hours playing the previous game could actually just be trivially boiled down to 4 minutes of click-through menu.

I guess I'd vote for a save import and use that first, but like the "keep-like" option as a fallback. In reality though, I'd be surprised if they do both.

I personally prefer the keep. Sometimes we tend to lose saves for whatever reason. Having both would be neat though.

I know this.
For I went a whole 2 years unplugged.
Made it awfully hard to play these new titles that want to always be connected -even for activation.
Indeed online game imports will never work long term.
Offline is the only permanent solution.

In twenty years time will DAI still have access to the keep system?
Very unlikely I believe. So how will those who want to play a custom game be able to?

20 Years from now:::::
EA:"We hear you want a custom DAI import?"
Yes. Please. Heading to the DAI Keep website. Going to set it up in the Keep now.
EA: "Sorry no more keep. We apologize for the inconvenience to you. Please feel free to go play one of our newer games."

*GAMER RAGE MODE ENGAGED!*
DAI will truly need an offline save import mode then.

Thank heavens for the fanbase.
20 years down the line.....
New modder to the DAI game comes along.
"Need a true import feature for DAI?"
"Yes."
"Here".
Ah.

I was skeptical of the DA Keep when it was first announced. My doubts vanquished when I had the chance to actually try it, and it turned out to be much better than I had hoped. So I'll go ahead and say that I hope we do get a Mass Effect "Keep".

Would rather not, keep this feature in DA. Happy to hold on to my save files, it's not an issue for me.

When I first tried to use the Keep I had quite a few problems. Firstly there were some options I couldn't enter because the Keep thought they were mutually exclusive with other options even though they had definitely happened. Then, once I'd entered all the details and tried to use the Keep it turned out that it hadn't worked.

I didn't find out until a good way into the game when I suddenly met a male Hawke instead of a female one!

Had to restart from scratch

By that time, though, I found out you could now use the Cloud to transfer the actual saved game from the Xbox 360 to the Xbox One and that turned out much easier and more reliable.

So my preference is definitely the cloud.

Yeah DA had a few issues but I think ME was fine though I never had any issues with things not showing up as they should. I think it might just have been the engine they were using for DA as it was a different engine from ME. We'll have to see though.

ME1 or ME2 had one bug with this and Conrad Verner, from wikia:

''A glitch in Mass Effect causes the Conrad encounter to be flagged both as "Intimidated" and "Charmed" in the importable save file, apparently leading to Mass Effect 2 picking the former over the latter and triggering Conrad to say that Shepard pointed a gun at him regardless of prior choice''.

There is much more, but I won't be cluttering this thread..
