What I would like to see out of da4

With the introduction of trials, an even foot or something it called, scales most enemies to inky lvl, i never play without it tbh, that sorts progression tbh


The rest, well no point answering 😆🙂😆👍

It not mods m8 i play on console, Trials was introduced with Trespasser dlc, it like skulls in halo if u ever played that, basically allows u to sort of build your own custom difficulty

Never got that far, didn't even finish the game tbh, got near the end then my pc died and I can't be bothered, I lost interest pretty quick when I just cake walked through everything, on nightmare. No challenge is no fun, then the lack of combat mechanics didn't help either ...

I'm not worried for the next DA game, I loved inquisition and regardless of your dislike for it, and EA which I think many use as a scapegoat, inquisition won various GoTY awards, was the best selling bioware title(kind of goes vs your thought of EA ruining bioware doesn't it?) and had mostly positive reviews, so it has momentum.

What I'd like to see changed/added:

•remove the hack and slash combat, I can tolerate it, but I'd prefer it to go back to how Origins did it where you had auto attack at the press if a button.
•narrow down on the open world element but still try to incorporate it. What I mean is don't make the maps huge where there's a lot of pointless extended travel, but keep enough where there are optional content for those (like me) willing to go out of their way to find it. I spent way to much time having to run back and fourth in the inquisition because it was so big.
•make it the first one that breaks the DA trend of not reusing a main protagonist. After tresspasser I feel the inquisitor MUST come back, I don't want her getting the lame knock to be in the back ground of the next game as I feel that's what will happen, and honestly, I love my inquisitor, just use some sort of magic to give her hand back.
•improve upon the crafting system, I loved the addition of it and I'm expecting it to improve where we can further develop the look of the protagonist and companions.
•better difficulty curve, there were some instances in inquisition that were a breeze and BAM!! You smacked a brick wall and struggle vs a group of enemies with red skulls or a tough mini boss. This would sometimes result in you having to come back later to fight them when bigger which just makes the running back and forth more of an issue.
•more instances to use the entirety of your party, it's not even just an issue with inquisition, it's an issue in most bioware games, there's a lot of great characters but you tend to pick your favorites till the end of the game. I'd like to see them try to give a few special occasions where you can see your entire group at play, get them more involved.
•character preview: a way to see your character in game and a way to go back to the CC, why? Cause the CC creation tends to vary from the one in game so a preview would help iron this out, especially beneficial to those who spend a long time making a character as perfect as they can get it.
•bring back unlimited potions, what I means is rather than restrict us to 5,8,10,12 whatever, let us hold as many as we want. I understand the need to give the player a difficulty curve, but I feel this is the wrong way to do it and it adds more frustration. This will also limit the back and forth travel time as I won't need to constantly hear back to camp to pick up more.
•put in a persuasion system where you need to hit a check for it to succeed like ME1s intimidate/persuade chance. It makes dialogue that much more meaningful if players have to make the right choices to upgrade their chances.
•more companion dialogue late game as I felt inquisition kind of dried up way to early on the dialogue, maybe even try to put out more loyalty style missions.

Besides that, there could be minor improvements like graphics, hair, animations, etc etc. I will say this, if they give us another castle like sky hold, at least try to let us design it you know? Sky hold was very disappointing because you couldn't, why give me a castle if I can't really do much with it? I also don't care about the multiplayer as I had no interest in it, other games do it better anyways.

Just to elaborate on Trials... this is a feature that was introduced in the Trespasser DLC. It affects the entire game, not just the DLC areas. You go into the game menu have have various options of challenges to alter the difficulty of the game.


Even Ground - Enemies always scale to be at least the same level as the Inquisitor. Significantly increases the chance of receiving special shipment rewards in your stronghold.

Walk Softly - The enemies of the Inquisitor may have new traits and abilities in combat. Significantly increases the chance of receiving special shipment rewards in your stronghold.

Rest Easy - You lose all focus if you rest or travel to a camp. Slightly increases the chance of receiving special shipment rewards in your stronghold.

Rub Some Dirt on It - All healing potions heal only 1 health. Significantly increases the chance of receiving special shipment rewards in your stronghold.

Travel Light - All supply caches are removed from the game. Slightly increases the chance of receiving special shipment rewards in your stronghold.

Take It Slow - You gain XP at half the normal rate. Slightly increases the chance of receiving special shipment rewards in your stronghold.

Fair-Weather Friends - Negative approval changes for followers are doubled. Slightly increases the chance of receiving special shipment rewards in your stronghold.

Grizzly End - You thought bears were tough? Think again. Significantly increases the chance of receiving special shipment rewards in your stronghold.


To increase the challenge, there are also achievements associated with Trials. For example, an achievement related to Take It Slow: Start a new game and select this trial. It must be kept on until the Inquisition reaches Skyhold at level 5 or below.


If you play with Trials turned on, you have the chance to receive a reward in your shipment box. These can be weapons, schematics, runes, accessories, or some crafting materials. Some items are exclusive to these shipments.

yeah i picked up GOTY edition for xbone for £8 an although i already have everything on p4 there was just no saying no lol

Actually really enjoying working through achievements and collecting everything again

Aside from finding or crafting gear, or customizing stats, one of the complaints about the DA2 style was that their armor never, ever changed over seven years. Do you like that aspect of it as well, or just not care about it? Would you like to see the DA2-style of upgrades, but with visual style changing along with each upgrade received?


Not sure I understand this one. Elves in DA have always been shorter and more petite than humans. The main characteristic of elves that has changed has been their face, from DAO's "humans with pointy ears," to DA2's Zora-looking, more alien race, to DAI's approach of combining the two.

I would suggest that the difference in body size in DA2 and DAI is more to do with the design of humans in comparison, which is just bulkier, especially men, whereas the male humans in DAO were more proportionate, only slightly larger. DA2 saw a much more muscular and triangle-shapded human male, which continued into DAI, while the elves stayed basically the same in the body.

That trespasser add-on sounds interesting, but again I found the combat, and skills just too lame to care about going through the game a second time.even the story was alot less intriguing, again, the only thing that made it intriguing is the the story of past characters. Dragon age 1/2 however was another story... Then again being a long time fan of RPGs,I expect more out of this generation of games , but yet we get less .

And don't tell me ea is a good thing for BioWare, because a game gets rewards means nothing, again Shadow of Mordor a game of the year and it's the most lame one button win piece of trash game I've ever seen, and people are looking forward to spamming X for days on end, like assassin's creed... I feel spoiled to live in the SNES, n64 era, and even original Xbox/PlayStation , where developers really tried to push systems and give the best overall game experience. Now it's how can we make the most profit, and the silly slapped together multiplayer of this game and the pay to win chests is a fine example of ea . It's like dragon age ultimate team.

EA has always been a part of bioware, since the time of DAO that's pointless

Again not trying to turn this into an ea hate thread, and I never could get into mass effect, so it wouldn't bother me if it was never made. But ea sets the deadlines, and ea is probably the one that said make pay to win multiplayer, as pay to win is in every ea game now . Not sure who's genius idea it was to ruin knights of the old Republic by giving tanks enough area damage to one shot everyone, something you couldn't do with a single target ability, which essentially destroyed the game .

But again, this game felt very lackluster to me, very slapped together, it felt like an ea title , like Fifa , or NHL, or battlefield ( dice I know ) , and like most games are feeling now, 80 bucks for a game you can beat in 12 hours , but it has 30+ hours of side missions, I know dragon age isn't that bad, but there is so much empty space, as mentioned by someone else ,( kind of like quest 64 , only thing that really made that game long was all the emptiness) , again a lackluster story pieces together of the other stories . And when you compare the games, I feel this game by far gives the least. Dragon age 2 was in one place , but at least the story revolves around your companions and their decisions and how you want to handle them, what real effect do your decisions have but who joins the Inquisition to give you a little agent buff ... and the combat feels super repetitive in comparison, again a total lack of skill customization, I see no point to playing through as another class, or another version of my own class, as there really isn't one ...

My desires:

1) A return of the power wheel/power bars so we can have access to more than eight abilities at a time
2) Better nuanced ability trees (DA2 was the best done, I think)
3) A return to healing/buffing/debuffing that isn't just part of a damaging attack. Less hack&slash, more strategy!
4) BY ALL THAT IS HOLY BRING BACK THE TACTICS MENU!
5) Have enough story to fill your zones. Too many of them were just...empty, except for random wildlife to kill.

Keep:

1) Crafted outfits and weapons, could use more variety in looks, but the concept is solid.
2) Quest to unlock specializations
3) Special dialogue options based on race, class, background, perks, etc
4) Elves look fine now!
5)Mirror of Transformation
