Dragon Age The Joyguard (formerly Hype Train) [Spoilers]

I doubt it. There's no attachment to him and his plot now. 

What, no staff? That is disrespecting cheese. Call Uncle Sheo!

Magic cheese?

Sure, I could be down for that.

Reported.

Molten cheese is not peril.  Molten cheese is the reward.

Han's just salty that the Inquisitor won't be the main character in DA4.
Even though he was told that was going to happen post DAI.

If you had written a roleplaying game about humanity trying to colonize a new galaxy, and the synopsis read "The bold explorers run into an empire of dull and humorless Nazis terrorizing a vibrant and compassionate species of aliens, and have to earn their trust by helping defend their territories in order to get to build settlements one at a time. Oh, and there's another long-dead and practically all-powerful species who have left convenient plot technology all over the place." then I don't care what sorts of involved and introspective narratives you'd written before that, I'd be pretty worried that you'd lost your mojo.

Maybe the fact that they're continuing an established story-line is going to help. I hope so. We'll see.

For you, perhaps.

For many others... there is still a lot of attactment.

I have to admit I share some of your misgivings and not simply because of Andromeda, which in fact I've never played because my PC wasn't good enough to run it. I think back further to ME1 and our confrontation with Sovereign. Wasn't he just great.

"I am beyond your comprehension. I am Sovereign.” "My kind transcends your very understanding. We are each a nation, independent, free of weakness. You cannot even grasp the nature of our existence.”

Sounded good. I couldn't wait to find out what was behind that mistakenly arrogant machine that I destroyed at the end of game. Then we scroll forward to ME3 and apparently a race of giant squids asked an AI to develop a solution to the problem of organics developing AIs that will eventually kill them and it came up with the idea of having a load of AIs to kill off the organics just at the point where they were capable of inventing the AIs that would kill them and started off the process by killing the majority of the giant squids that had programmed it in the first place. Once you had got your mind around that convoluted and illogical explanation for the existence of the Reapers apparently I really shouldn't take the option of pulling the plug on the whole sorry business because the AI tells me it will just happen all over again. However, if you just take the nice central green path we can all be just the same as one another in synthetic/organic harmony. Whoopie! Yep, it turned out Sovereign was wrong all along. It was quite easy to understand once you got down to the nitty gritty. It made no sense whatsoever but that wasn't because my puny mind was incapable of understanding it.

Now Solas reminds me a bit of Sovereign. He burbles on a lot about why he is going to do what he is and how he really has no choice, which sounds a lot like the reasons he gave for his last big mistake but nevertheless thinks he is entitled to act the way he does by reason of his superiority of being. However, unlike Sovereign he claims that he won't tell us more because we might understand too well. If we are doomed anyway, at least come out and say it. Then may be we can come up with our own solution.

I just hope that when we catch up with him for our next controlled question and answer session, his explanation isn't going to be as daft as the Hologram kid's was.

I am very tentatively excited for the game. I do want Bio to take their time to make it the best game possible, but I also feel like the time since DAI has been too long for a sequel. For now I'm trying to be optimistic that they are refining what they want the game to be and the end product will be great. MEA and Anthem are worrying.

If I can take the concept art as likely but not guaranteed locations, I will be very excited to visit many diverse locations. I would very much like DA4 to visit multiple nations rather than follow the previous games in remaining in one or two countries. If we're going the Trespasser route and using eluvians to travel far and wide this would make sense.

I'm looking forward to seeing more about companions as the months go on. I do feel like there is loads of potential going north for interesting companion backgrounds.

There needs to be something for me to be hyped about before I can feel hype. So far there is nothing. 

And pretty much everything they showed. But sure, diminish the opinions of those who don't feel the same way you do.

And I'm happy for those others. Wish I could feel the same.

Again, far more than just that in what I don’t like about this upcoming game. But seems you like to keep ignoring that part.
