Schmooples' Den! The DA News Discussion Thread

That feels like a safe bet...

Time to say goodbye to progressing the story I guess

As soon as some internet bore solemnly intones "this does not have the feel of St. Dragon Age of Origins and it's holy..." I just tune them out. I loved Origins and replayed it again last year but I don't live 2 decades in the past and when the company that made the game have already shown that they have moved on.

I also find that people that intone about Origins rarely remember it well. It was not an overhead tactical game with pause it was action with pause and it had silly characters (Alaister) and plenty of cartoony weapons an armor and it also had ridiculous looking monsters. But time has created this impression of a game that doesn't fit what it really was. 

Yeah, I get that they destroyed a chunk of narrow scaffolding- but I still did find it a bit silly that a couple of pushes on the remaining bit caused the whole of a giant ass statue to give way. But whatever, it looked cool.

Anyone know yet if we're still going to be required to use Origin to play DA:V on PC? I would prefer Steam personally... as always.

Origin is no longer supported. You will have to download EA Play. I find it less stable than Origins and meh.

Even if you buy it on Steam, very likely you'll still need the EA App to actually run the game. And because of that, integration between the 2 will probably be so jank you'd be better off getting it directly on the EA App, even if it barely works half the time.

Awww I like alien elves... or anime elves with those huge eyes, I guess.
The DA:I tarot card art was a great concept as well.

But honestly, if we are making elves look just like humans at this point, just with long pointed ears, give me a facial hair option for elves then. 

One thing I've started to wonder (worry) about is whether or not there's going to be region-lock on subtitles again. I despised swapping my files just for the game to let me play with English subtitles   Both DAI and MEA were guilty of this.

HAVE we had those in previous DA games? 

Brown is boring lol. What's with people's distaste for color? 

Solas:

I think they might be referring to the slow motion finishers from DAO (jumping on an ogre and stabbing it the face, for example), that were missing from DA2 and DAI. Not sure but that's the only "finisher" in DA that I can think of.
