All hail Christian for saving such an important part of the Dragon Age experience! A multiplayer Dragon Age might have killed off my interest in the series completely... Not having an mp component has seriously dampened my enthusiasm for the game in a major way.

Aah.. but it has increased my enthusiam for DA4 without the crappy MP live-service component. I am so ever glad EA pulled their mandated MP on a game that, imo, is unsuited for multiplayer.
EA may have come up with this decision to maintain Bio's gaming reputation in a selfidh self-interest motive but I don't care. Still, the game will probably have some severe warts due to mtxs. This super annoiance can be mitigated if buying cosmetic items is done outside the game (personal preference).
And I bet that mtxs will not be seen in the early access Beta to prevent game reviewrs from making negative comments about the mechanics.

At the moment that nobody has said that there isn't a multiplayer portion of the game, but that the live service has been removed. Normally they go together, but since what live service doesn't seem to be universally acknowledged as one thing it still might be there and people are going to be disappointed with their assumptions.

I should have been more clear - I'm actually decently fine with MP components as long as they are separated from the SP experience. What I don't want is seeing gamer tags like BigDongus or GamerGirlUwu when I'm walking around Minrathus.

What I don't want is seeing gamer tags like BigDongus or GamerGirlUwu when I'm walking around Minrathus. Origin really doesn't check usernames very well. Lots of nazis and neckbeards out there, with less than creative names. I named all my ME3MP kits with names that I thought would be funny for other people to read, either because lore or because silly. Clean for the masses. Was disappointed, but also immediately understood. It was my first MP, I was ignorant of the gamertag games that kids play to one up each other. Maybe the answer is a MP username mask, per game, that is generated by a simple DA-based dictionary/phonetics. Game will prompt for starting letters of name, and how many names in the name. Then generate an acceptable name for you from there, that is unique (adds a layer, comparitive DB query, but this isn't a new concept) and is then yours for the game. Sure, you lose some freedom to name yourself GigaChad6969, but still have some control and will appear as a DA individual more than a loser in a basement.

Normally they go together, but since what live service doesn't seem to be universally acknowledged as one thing it still might be there and people are going to be disappointed with their assumptions. I find it funny how life works out sometime. I went to go look for the original article even though I am loathe to give the people involved the clicks which could help them drive revenue. But now its hidden behind a paywall. Anyways here is the article in question though: www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-25/electronic-arts-pivots-on-dragon-age-game-removes-multiplayerSays multiplayer and not live service. Now maybe they have removed both (as I believe the article kind of suggested they might have, or at least those in the fandom have talked about) but the main drive of it seems to be a leak that MP has been axed. Though I do treat all leaks as sus until we hear from BioWare. Not having an mp component has seriously dampened my enthusiasm for the game in a major way. I should have been more clear - I'm actually decently fine with MP components as long as they are separated from the SP experience. What I don't want is seeing gamer tags like BigDongus or GamerGirlUwu when I'm walking around Minrathus. This to depends on what they do and how they handle their MP components and social space. Perhaps the most germaine example is with GR Breakpoint the Social Hub for the game, Erewhon, allowed you to interact and have other people on the screen with you and that was forced. This was annoying since the game's set up/ inciting incident was you and 32 other ghosts attacked Auroa in the first place...and presumably a lot of them died in the initial attack...yet you were sharing the screen with a LOT of potential other Ghosts. But the thing is they did eventually patch it out to where you could just turn Erewhon into your own space. That and when you were 'out in the world' doing missions the MP components were entirely optional. You could solo the game, join up for matchmaking, or invite friends. I think either one could have worked for DA. While I love the SP aspects I also think it would be hella cool to have had the option to play the game with other people if I had the option that I was close to, create another character for such purposes in addition to my own campaign. Alas this will likely never happen, which is probably for the better. And of course the big obstacle is I hardly play with 'friends' in the first place and my wife isn't into DA. I should have been more clear - I'm actually decently fine with MP components as long as they are separated from the SP experience. What I don't want is seeing gamer tags like BigDongus or GamerGirlUwu when I'm walking around Minrathus. Origin really doesn't check usernames very well.

Sure, you lose some freedom to name yourself GigaChad6969, but still have some control and will appear as a DA individual more than a loser in a basement. I rather like this. To my top idea to it could be nice to create an in universe name, like for your character, and have your game use that...then of course ban anything really weird. “Hello, Adventurer MikeHawke.” I would kill for someone to do a parody of Honeywood in an actual fantasy RPG one day. Call it Honey Wood or something.

Though I do treat all leaks as sus until we hear from BioWare. My bad, there are too many articles out there that are stating no MP, no LS, or won't have either. I do agree with the approach unless there is an official statement things can always change for "sources close to the matter" normally aren't top level executives making those decisions for if the decision makers wanted to make it known there would be some official release or comment to investors. Not to mention the statement could be missing context as well. There might not be an Anthem like MP aspect, but they might continue with the optional MP elements that are separate from playing the primary game. Since it seems with Mass Effect 3 and Andromeda it did well enough to generate revenue and with Andromeda it got more attention then the single player game for they released more content for it then just patches even though I still dislike how the last import of new content went. Until the game is installed on my PC, I am not going to have an conclusion on what is really going to be in the game. That way I don't ruin it for myself based on speculation that more then likely won't come true.

"BioWare is back in the news again, as Bloomberg is reporting that Electronic Arts has decided to make a major change to Dragon Age 4. The report says developers on the game have been given the go-ahead to remove "all planned multiplayer components" of the RPG and make it a single-player only game."
Now this is back in Feb 2021. I've not read anything to the contrary since then. Live-service may still be in the cards but I see it as a DLC(s) if the game is successful. Cosmetic items may also be sold via a live-service mechanic, though I find this to be sleazy inside a RPG. As I said before, remove this mechanic from inside the game and I'd be happy with that.

Now this is back in Feb 2021 This is why I have been assuming that is what was meant about pre-production only being finally signed off last year. Originally, they did go into full production in March 2020 but that was with multi-player included in some form or another. In fact it may be that single player was signed off in 2020 but pre-production continued on the multi-player element, assuming that these two aspects were separate, as with DAI and ME3. Then EA finally made up their minds to ditch the multi-player components, so the whole project was signed off as full steam ahead on single player only in early 2021.

Considering that I want bare minimum marketing before release, fine by me.
If they release something with even a trivial bug they'll be skewered for it relentlessly and they cannot afford that. Cant blame them for wanting to play it safe if thats their plan.
