Casey Hudson returns to BW, Flynn leaves.

"what" they want out of BioWare, meaning what they want BioWare to do from here on.

I imagine it's what lennybusker was suggesting:

This sucks. We're losing a great dev and getting back a meh dev.

Referring to shinobiwan's chain of "logic" not lenny's answer thereof

I do not think ME is dead. And the story of MEA is not that bad after all. My biggest complain for MP is boring powers - i really miss commando, asari vanguard, drell, quorians... I still play MEAMP, but it really lacks the diversity. However, these are all just details, and can be improved in the sequel. On the other hand, ME can also go to back to Milky way post ME3, making the destroy ending cannon. Or telling that everything after the beam run is just indoctrinated dream - there are multiple options. It is way easier to continue on the existing foundation, than create a new title and collect the new fan base. Maybe the next time they will collect less preorders, but not less than with the new project.

I guess a sacrifice had to be made. Shareholders gonna be pleased. A checkbox ticked. Whether Flynn botched it or had to fight very disfavourable odds we don't know. I've seen good football trainers get fired for an unlucky streak. Sometimes they come back with their next team and stomp their former one - that always cracks me up.

You know what, either or can be done. Complete fresh start in another galaxy or continuing the Milky Way one. But for starting in another galaxy I want a true fresh start, zero ties to original Trilogy. Completely surprise me once more like ME1 did.

Only you know what the problem with complete fresh start is? Too much time required on world and lore building. Even Mass Effect 1 wasted a huge chunk on world building then had to rush the rest of the game once world and lore building was locked.

Won't save this game but maybe he can save BioWare.

I dont give a shit.

After MEA, DAI, Shitty DLC after shitty DLC, MP in DAI and MEA, MA3 etc, etc Im done.

Fuck off Bioware.

Do someone knows how much BW earned on MEA? The worst dissapointment for me is MEA MP, but the singleplayer is not that bad. Not comparable to The Witcher, but comparable to Fallout 4.

Doesnt Bioware, if anything, need the original two doctors back?

Like, what was left after them?

Inquisition had some semblance of a story, there was anticipation, there was Morrigan showing up, you did not know how you got the mark up until mid-game, etc, actually quite a few moments. Not everything was crystal clear right from the start and easily predictable. If one largely ignored majority of exploration, it was not a bad game at all although some things were overplayed to the point of being ridiculous. And yes, gameplay is quite dull in both games but still DAI surpasses Meda in most aspects. Meda on the other hand, does not have any plot at all. I've finally managed to play about 4 hours of single player, went to Voeld and was wondering what am I doing there and why, there is no plot, nothing at all, no story whatsoever. There is no intrigue, anticipation, unexpected development, just plain utter garbage. Driving the car around, occasionally shooting something which is neither frightening nor really dangerous, not even evil, and let's see what happens after you get to some point on the map and solve a sudoku puzzle. It is not even an RPG due to lack of illusion of a choice, I'm not talking about real choice, but rather some new genre of casual pointless wondering about. Best part of it is that I can skip almost all dialogue. DAI IMHO had some good lines and sometimes excellent voice acting, mostly, of course, coming from beloved Claudia Black.
