Yeah you can solo run those sections. I believe there are Youtube videos dating back to 2012 and 2013 that show that. They were not meant to be soloed until they introduced Story Mode within the last year or so.

I got nothing against multiplayer but I never touched it on DAI and I'd have to leave the Dragon Age series if that ever happened. I'm only interested in SP for that series. Now if they wrapped up the story and turned the DA series into an MMO or made a decent type of MP set in the DA universe, I'd be happy to give it a chance.

Oh, and also, majesticjazz for the record, and in the interest of scientific inquiry, what I want to know is WHICH Bioware game specifically you actually really, truly and unequivocally love? Because your entire post history is nothing but veiled attacks on both released and unreleased BioWARE titles. I have seen you covertly or openly dissing ME3, MEA, DA2, Inquisition and Anthem for more than half a year. I have never seen you posting HAPPY posts or participating in discussions with the fellow fans of Witcher and Cyberpunk, the games you PROFESS to love. How come? You don't have HAPPY THOUGHTS? EVER?ALL, literally ALL you do is starting up "speculative" threads light on facts and heavy on mind-control attempts and lead-on suggestions that BioWARE game is either not good or not even going to be good. Even the unannounced one we have zero information about. So, please, oblige, tell us about what you LOVE, in at least 400 words, not what you are angst-ridden about or open hate.
Come on.
Give us a LOVE SPEECH for once, we need to see that side of you, you owe it to us for the endless walls of negative texts you flood this board with.
Or are you are pathologically incapable of being positive?Oh, and you are also so painstakingly generic. I have never seen you discuss a character, talk about a quest, ask about a gameplay problem or respond to it with explanation or even post a screenshot of your main in any game at all. Have you actually... PLAYED any games? ANY? I think your obsession with Majesticjazz is a bit unhealthy.

Depending on how multiplayer-focussed it looked, I would likely not purchase it. I don't have the set-up for multiplayer games (my internet is complete crap), and having to play with a bunch of slur-spitting strangers is not my idea of a good time.
If, however, it was couch co-op (wishful thinking, I know), I would absolutely get it, and I would get my mother to play it with me. Lol.

Hm it depends on implementation. I can see A dungeon crawler like poe/diablo. I can see an MMO which wont happen because EA still thinks there's money to be made in SWTOR (how I don't know). I could also see a them pulling a divinity route which would honestly be amazing. Dragon Age is a very versatile franchise but its best if it stays SP.

When we say a focus on multiplayer over singleplayer, what would that look like when the game still has a proper singleplayer campaign? Andromeda had a slightly more involved multiplayer, but the result was largely resource and loot farming for my SP character and actual in-story mention of strike teams that ties into that mode and little else, but nothing like Mass Effect 3's notorious EMS that actually factored into its actual story content to some extent upon release.
I don't really give a shit how beefed up MP is in any DA or ME game, so long as there's still substantial solo content like the sort I'm used to in these games. Given that DAMP was predictably crap, I doubt they'll sacrifice the singleplayer portion for it, especially with another MP game aiming to be some kind of flagship thing.

Not necessarily a MMO, but a game that has a clear priority for multiplayer rather than single player. How excited would you be? How disappointed would you be? For me, it depends on how it is executed. However, I would hate to have key story bits locked behind group content like SWTOR flashpoints/Heroics/Operations. I like to enjoy game stories at my own pace and not have to depend on others. -(_D_A_)-
My expectations is a game design intent for generating online MTs but will still contain a SP campaign with the usual accoutrements.
Regarding MTs, most disturbing I find, is this patent given to ACTIVISION:
“System and method for driving microtransactions in multiplayer video games” – details how matchmaking can be used to encourage players to make microtransaction purchases by placing them in games with certain people. Matchmaking is the system by which a game will group up players in a multiplayer game – a matchmaker often tries to place people of similar skill levels into the game. Microtransactions are in-game purchases (often costing a few dollars or less) that can include cosmetic items, gameplay enhancements such as experience boosters, or the outright purchase of equipment that you may otherwise have to find in the game. This particular patent mashes the two systems together and details a variety of ways they could be used."

If it ends up being multi-player centric, I would be very disappointed. As in, to the point I may not even buy it disappointed.
I play Dragon Age games for their single player content, not their multiplayer content. I can blame many things for this: my crappy Xbox-live connection, my general dislike of social interactions while gaming (I go outside for that! Thank you!), etc. But at the end of the day, multiplayer content is not fun for me. Even it does have the Dragon Age name on it, I won't force myself to get the game if I know it will be a not-fun experience.
Multiplayer can be fun in small doses, but its not something I want an entire game centered around. Certainly not DA4.

Okay, I'm just going to plop this down in this thread as well: Ask A Game DevBut let's think about this. Does anyone really think that EA after 3 yrs of work, getting a big developer name (Amy Hennig) in , using an expensive IP and getting other studios help with work, suddenly decide "oh look at these shiny multiplayer shooters, bye-bye studio we made from the ground up- y'all fired - let's make that instead!" They are a business, not a baby distracted by shiny keys. The EA statement is a load of fluff that doen't mean anything. I'd say there were deeper problems going on the game. They had 3 yrs to make an uncharted style game (approx 10 hrs long) and had not much to show at the end. EA might decide to make a completely different game but the studio got closed cus the game they were making didn't work

I'd skip if MP were the focus. It's bad enough how ME was destroyed due to poor SP execution and focus on MP. The lesson I learned from MEA is that I won't bother with DA at all if the focus is on MP. Or maybe I would after the price dropped down to about $20.

Not necessarily a MMO, but a game that has a clear priority for multiplayer rather than single player. How excited would you be? How disappointed would you be? I'd probably not buy it. I buy games from studios like Bioware and Obsidian etc. to play games that are heavy on story and rich on atmosphere, not games you slay monsters with some friends on a server on a weekend. There is MANY other studios that already make those kind of games.

I wouldn’t like it.
I also find it incredibly unlikely. Some posters seem to have it in their heads that EA is out to kill single player games in favor of multiplayer, but that’s bull.
Yeah, they want to push live service gaming, but nobody plays DA to play with other people. The lukewarm reception of DAI MP makes that pretty clear. I imagine they will still have MP, but the idea that they will gear the entire game towards it is quite dubious to me. Even with ME, where MP had a much better reception, they didn’t push Bioware to do that in MEA.

I would be EXTREMELY disappointed, likely wouldn't buy it.
Mp mode and Check Point save system are the 2 reasons I did not buy ME: Andromeda, even though I loved Mass Effect games

I would loose all my interest in the serie if the next DA is a MP game. If there is enought SP experience without forced online, I may buy the game when is under the 10 euro price. But probably I would prefer buy other single player games. I'll move to other companies. Guerrilla have done a good job with Horizon.

I would welcome a Dragon Age MMORPG because right now I have an MMORPG itch that is ready to be scratched, but I'm going to need it to be it's own product, rather than a replacement for the single player RPG.

If the next DA game was to be multiplayer focused over SP, than the series is dead for me. I like DA for the SP campaign, not some half-baked idea that they can transform it into a MP series. And it would end up not being the last either.
It's fair to say that if Bioware goes that route for MP primary game, before moving to other properties, than Bioware no longer exists as we knew it and it's time to move on (for me at least).

For me, anything that need me to play with another human being in my videogame, or even having people aroung in the map of my game that aren't NPC generated byt the game itself is MP, and is not enjoyable.
