Considering the fact that gameplay is going to be shown 4 days before the actual release (March 17th), I'd say I'm not impressed, not in the slightest.

I'm all for party banter - it allows for a more in-depth insight into the relationships between characters and it can be hilarious at times (such is the case with DA2).

As I mentioned somewhere else, better hair, the HAIR is a must!
And that includes eyebrows - in DAI I had enough of bushy-almost-monobrows, which made my options quite limited. And since I played it mostly on PS4, modding was out of the question.
I'd also appreciate face codes.

So the chance that a good round character that has a lot of moments in the main story arc, being gay is highly unlike. So in the end I prefer bi characters or on that spectrum, everyone wins. Don't lose heart, Bioware may yet surprise us. I'm ever hoping for a mature gay character (looking at you, Vetra).

I had a huge problem with Leliana leaving my Warden for her service with the Divine. I just could not fathom that she would sacrifice her love to the Warden after all they've been through. Call me naive, but I really had to work myself into accepting the situation in DAI regarding Leli and my Warden. And I still don't accept it fully, I guess. I think it is important to note that this was not Leliana temporarily leaving the Warden for just any Divine but for Divine Justinia, someone who is incredible important to Leliana because of what she did for her when she was still Revered Mother Dorothea. She helped Leliana in the darkest time of her life such as by helping her escape from prison and turning her life around. Without her, Leliana wouldn't even have met the Warden. Even if Leliana felt it was a difficult think to do, I can easily see her coming out of retirement and stepping away from the Warden for some time to keep Divine Justinia safe because of the growing tensions and later during the mage rebellions.
The rational me agrees with you completely. The not-so-rational, emotional me shakes her head fervently

Since DAI soundtrack is mighty fine, I can listen to it again in DA4, that's a small price to pay for getting the game earlier.

Can't decide between Krogan and Asari (the Aria type). So, probably an Asari offspring of these two. My best buddy would be an Elcor.

Gatt. He wants to be a proper Qunari, but knows it's faults and is willing to try and change it from the inside. Even if he is likely doomed to failure . Gatt's attitude made me think about Qun and its potentiality for change. Sounds like an oxymoron, I know, but would there be any way for the state based on the philosophy of Qun to become less oppressive towards individual freedom? Or perhaps it's simply a contradiction that can't be resolved - since Qun states that we are endowed with an individual function in a greater whole which we cannot/should not change, the state's central role would be to protect the status quo at all costs.

The Riddle of Master Lu (might be tough to find) The Dig (GOG/Steam) The Moment of Silence (on GOG/Steam) Blade Runner (still hope this will be on GOG at some point) Star Trek Adventures (if you like that franchise that is, especially A Final Unity but the TOS ones are also not bad, though their graphics are really really old) Also, apparently they are working on an remaster of Full Throttle. Thanks for the update! I'll check them, I remember The Dig and Blade Runner, not a great Star Trek fan, but I'll look into it as well.

I fear the return of DAI banter bug - so much space, so much silence. You mean the banter bug that thousands reported and Bioware said it didn't exist? That banter bug? I didn't even know the game had banter except for a couple scripted instances where it occurs every time. I didn't even know there was music except when entering Val Royeaux the first time and when discovering Skyhold. Had to see video proof that it actually existed. As far as it getting patched, I guess I must not have that patch because there still isn't any for me or a couple friends of mine who play on PC. Last I saw they said, they couldn't reproduce it which is the same as saying it doesn't exist. Same here. I never hear any juicy details about my companions' love life, for instance. Bull and Dorian? Nope. Blackwall and Josephine? Forget it.

Yeah, there was a patch, but it didn't work for me and in DAI I usually get 5-6 banters for an obscene amount of time. It's just disheartening, to say the least. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for ME:A. You can use Cheat Engine + banter trigger. It's a godsend. I'm on PS4, so no voodoo for me, unfortunately.

What others wrote here: the protagonist who is beyond the standard heroic trope, being flawed and yet extremely compelling, well-developed multidimensional antagonists and great writing in general, both moving and hilarious at times.
This is one of the few games I think of with great fondness, since I invested a lot of time and emotions in it. Worth every moment and every feeling.

I fear the return of DAI banter bug - so much space, so much silence. Eep. I thought that'd been patched? Hopefully the DA team shared their magicks with the ME team to fix that particular issue. Yeah, there was a patch, but it didn't work for me and in DAI I usually get 5-6 banters for an obscene amount of time. It's just disheartening, to say the least. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for ME:A.

As a young Tal Vashoth I was a massive fan of adventure games, such as: Monkey Island series Gabriel Knight series Police Quest series Syberia I,II (with III coming this year, hurrah) Loom Sanitarium The Longest Journey Tex Murphy series Discworld Noir and last, but so not least, my forever favorite Grim Fandango (which now I can also play on PS4)

Digital, 2 reasons: first of all, I get kinda excited when checking compulsively if the game has already downloaded or not; second, I can pretend that I'm a mature, well-organised adult who is extremely efficient at clutter control

But that would mean waiting months for playing the actual game. A worthy goal, to be sure, but I'm not sure I could handle it.

Skepticism is healthy in adequate doses, that's why, for example, I don't pre-order. Closing the original forum didn't help building the confidence in the franchise either.
But at the same time I get OP's point. I'm tired of prophets of doom that keep on berating the game that is not even out yet.
And yeah, Mass Effect: Andromeda is still better than no Mass Effect.

Steampunk/horror/urban/all things noir. I don't need them to reinvent any genre, just make it solid, waterproof plot-wise and with interesting multidimensional characters.
A solid case to investigate would be most welcome, I love searching for clues, tracking down potential culprits, etc.
Also, shooting off heads while doing all that would be a nice touch.

Do I want a Mabari/pet in DA4? How is that even a question? Of course I do! A dragon would be rather cumbersome, though, I could also see my character with a crow/raven/owl.
