Silly: What 1 thing would you sacrifice to get DA4 a year earlier?

I was going to pick map sizes even with a map smaller than haven, which, to tbh, even for someone so anti-exploration like me, it's a crazy idea but I think that would be a challenge for a good writter, I'm sure it's possible to make something interesting with that

And then I realized "crafting" was on the list, and that made the choice so easy for me that it almost feels like cheating I mean, I thought crafting (not resoruce gathering) in DAI was cool, but even so I don't feel like I'm actually making a sacrifice at all by not having it included in some form... No crafting and DA4 arrives one year earlier? Yes, please!

[✔] Nothing, just extend the production by a year.

I have enough games to play while waiting.

I like crafting. I can dress my Barbie doll for all my scenes. I also pick worse gear so I don't look stupid in DAO and 2.

I hate resource gathering.

Only the music in Trespasser was memorable and you could only hear Maryden at the tavern, so music is a wash anyway. Edit Edd: So go ahead and reuse it, had no effect on my enjoyment of this game.

Do not take my troop of companions! Or the romances! RAWR

Things I would never want to give up are voice acting, significant substantial side-quests, and number of companions.

I'd be more than willing to hear the DA1 soundtrack again so that's what I voted for.

I had far more fun playing "Deus Ex: Human Rev." with its small hub areas than I did running through Inquisition's vast landmasses. In DE:HR the areas didn't feel that small because they were packed full with interesting individuals and stories to interact with. It felt alive. Inquisition felt so empty and I didn't enjoy doing 99% of the side-quests available. And I must say, having to travel for miles across a virtual map is painful. I'd rather spend that time dealing with actual interactions in the game.

As a small note about exploration: I enjoyed games that had smaller areas that you had to backtrack over to unlock the areas you couldn't do before or puzzles you couldn't solve (like the RE series 0-Veronica) most. "KoA" was the only open world game I've played where that didn't completely bother me and that maybe due to the art direction and the lush side-quests.

Can't... click... any... box...



... except maybe this one.

Romances. It's all optional content anyway.

Voted Map size, but would also consider the sound track.

In truth, though, as angsty as I am to get DA4, it wouldn't be sacrificing just that one thing...the bugs...oh, the bugs.

So...none of the above, really, but for the sake of argument over what I care least about - map size.

Less companions. I just don't get attached to companions like some people do.

Cool, we have a horse race! I thought it was going to go 100% crafting for a while there, but now soundtrack has pulled ahead.

It's kind of a bogus comparison, admittedly, since there's no way ditching the soundtrack would save a year of dev time, but the same argument could be made for just about all of the items except maybe side-quests and romances. Those clearly pull in a lot of departments to get done.

At first I voted crafting, but then I remembered that I actually liked the crafting in Inquisition and noticed there was a better option being offered. Map size wouldn't even count as a sacrifice and Haven had space aplenty, if you ask me
