That is a good figure but without wanting to be a party pooper, how many sold at the original retail price and how many later on once it came down in price? It is the amount the game actually makes that is surely the figure that EA are interested in. DAV needs to sell well at the initial price to make back the amount of money invested in its development over the last 10 years. Curious how many people bought more than one copy? I bought a copy for ps3/ps4/computer I bought three, PS4/Xbox/PC. Oh wait! Actually four, I bought a copy for PS3 also 😅

It makes me sad that I'm going to have to go dark here soon, I'll miss the people here and reading the shenanigans. I've alread ygon edar kbut not muc hha sbeen revealed sinc eI hav eothe rthan the IGN preview vid last wee kwhic hI've book marked to watch a ta later date afte rthe game is out mostl ybecause spoilers but busying myself playing Fifa has helped. I know that in my case I just hav et ohold out until Friday as playing FC25 will definitely keep me occupied so as of midnigh ttomorrow I'll b eabl et ostart playing that as that's when it unlocks fo rme. I know for some youtubers it unlocks today and the have a youtube stream coming later today too promoting it which I wiil lprobably watch as that's not spoiling anything given it's a sports game. So I'm busying myself with that right now and will likely be doing so up untill a week or 2 befoer Veilguard launches because then I'll focus on finishing m ycurrent DAI run. Hard t obelieve tha tin anothe rmonth or so we'll all be hurling fireballs at darkspawn again after waiting a decade. Pesky monsters I guess they'll never learn.

Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrahYeah I'm not sure where "DAI was a commercial failure" came from... Its over 12 million at this point. MASIVELY oversold the internal EA projections ... Oh yeah and was GotY in 2014. Amazing how people actually downplay the impact DA:I had for Bioware. I saw a place online where this tweet made news and you should see the amount of people downplaying it, some are even basically claiming Darrah is lying.

I tcertainly i wha tdrew m eto trying DA out in the first place after seeing what else Bioware had done at the .time. They seemed to be on a roll back then at least. Here's hpoing Veilguard will help them get some momentum back.

Bioware Derangement Syndrome is real, and Gamers™ have been inflicted with it for about 20 years.

That's what I call trolling. No videos ? Not even a picture? Besides as a Sims fan, Sims 4 was unfun and lost so much personality compared to past games ...this is not reassuring.

You'd have to be careful on Youtube though. But someone will probably link some here.

That article reads like an intro to something more that we can't see. I was sure IGN was going to get an excluside video of the CC, but guess not. How many ex-Maxis devs ended up at BioWare?

It's been years since I played Sims 4, but doesn't it have a really detailed and extensive character creator? Expecially for bodies. I was already suspecting that the CC may have taken something from the sims 4 about it. Body modeling is basically the only thing I liked about The Sims 4.nothing else. I still play The Sims 3, tho.

Should've been a video of the CC instead of a article. I would've liked IGN or Bioware to show us their CC themselves vs depend or count on the content creators on the 19 to show their stuff off.

But it's all shallow, genetics and character traits you could pick are less in depth and reactive. Besides the play-doh style (and flashy colors) is what you expect of the Sims, but maybe not DA. But no joke the first time I saw the group in the library I thought about the Sims 4. The face of companions isn't so bad, but when you look at their arms or cleavage, it looks quite plastic.

I don't think it will go this way but imagine you can create a character with a huge butt but then race or faction reactivity is shallow as a puddle.

Currency. What is DA4's currency? Game economy?
Sure, we can increase our relationship with a merchant.. maybe get a discount down the road and maybe, just maybe, the merchant opens up the good stuff for a hefty price of course. The Rook's loot is always worth pennies... not so the vendor's. ... try selling and buying the item back... Bio calls this "balance".... my sweet arse.
DA4 gives the merchant an increased role in the game... which touches on the game economy (non existent, imo, in previous games). I wonder if this game borrowed something from PoE, For example: 3x50 Mana flasks sold to a merchant gets you 1x100 Mana flask back. Instant upgrade. PoE has a solid and deep game economy system.... what's in store for us in DA4? Inventory management and loot. Is it improved or same old crappy system. Must I grind to find loot, sell, repeat until I have enough currency to buy some good gear?
Info coming soon.

Curious how many people bought more than one copy? I bought a copy for ps3/ps4/computer I bought three, PS4/Xbox/PC. Oh wait! Actually four, I bought a copy for PS3 also 😅 I hope you got a discount on the PS4 version given that the PS3 could not play Descent or Trespasser.

With tomorrow seeing the lifting of the embargo on hands-on previews, hopefully people here are willing to temper themselves on what general sentiments turn out to be (good or bad).
