Since Dragon Age 4 was teased at The Game Awards in 2018, many people have been excited about the prospect of this game. ![](https://www.dropbox.com/s/xouuuxqzp3qu3ql/hype2.gif?raw=1) But we don't really have a thread where you can just come and share your general anticipation about Dragon Age 4, so here it is. Just to be clear, not every post has to be 'full on fan-boy/girl', but I'd ask posters to keep generally in the territory of positivity. We're not looking to get into fights with skeptics in this thread, mostly ignore them if they swing by, or direct them to their thread: The Dragon Age 4 Skepticism Thread - bsn.boards.net/thread/edit/18444Occasionally we'll move other hype posts or threads in here that didn't really justify being a thread in their own right. That's it, I hope you will gain joy, discussing your excitement with other people who are seriously hyped about Dragon Age 4. ![](https://www.dropbox.com/s/4zv9ni8q0jrk72j/excitement2.gif?raw=1)

I would think that these threads would be good after we actually had a title. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/CeRUIfXurYhaBmWjMBkt.png) Although I think it is now safe to say that DA 4 will be *a thing* now So in the same tone of voice as Matt Ryan yelling at his teammate to get into position "Get Feckin hyped" ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/RebJidSPcxyF0U0Rr0uW.png)

When I'm completely uninterested in DA, Bioware ends up pulling me back in. I'm not majorly hype about any of the concept art but I am excited to know that oh wow, this is really happening! And that's nice to know.

I like to look on the positive side. They have finally given us something more than that teaser trailer with the idol and definitely confirmed DA4 is in production, not just pre-production but production. They have even started recording VA dialogue, so the story and main characters have been finalised. This is all good.
I've also pointed out on the video thread that we had multi-player with DAI and more than 12 characters only associated with that, apart from very small cameos at Skyhold and in War Table missions in the main game. Multi-player campaigns also featured previous characters, like Isabella, so I'm guessing that the shots with Dorian and possibly Isabella, plus the multitude of concept character shots, may not be of single player companions at all. Focus on the two VA clips. We can only guess at what race they are but I'm pretty sure those two are single player companions and they sound good, plus we have their names.
Come on, glass half full folks, the concept art looks awesome and I'm guessing we are finally going to see some of the iconic places we have only previously heard about, for example, Minrathous, Weisshaupt and Kal-Sharok. Since they were all on my wish list, I'm feeling very upbeat today.

I am BEYOND excited they actually showed something substantial after years of fluff and honestly my day has been entirely unproductive because I've just been basking in the fan art and the screenshots and analysing every little detail The concept art looks incredible and way beyond my expectations. If they can pull all that off in game with the underlying theme of "having no power" I'm already sold. Going from DAI where you have a god's power to DA4 having no power is a stroke of thematic genius TBH and I cannot wait to see what they do with the potential. The fact they have started voice acting and motion capture means the story is pretty much all fleshed out, which actually surprises me because I got the impression they were still in the early phase of hashing out the plot. What I'm curious about is the absence of dwarven characters. Perhaps the destruction of the veil will have significant impact on them as a whole. I mean the thaigs look absolutely amazing from the concept art and I love that they have remained true to Origin's artistic concepts after two games of a straying art style, but I'm hoping we get more insight into dwarven history through a dwarven character. Or maybe that role will be fulfilled by Dagna or Harding.

What I'm curious about is the absence of dwarven characters. There is a good chance those two VA characters are both dwarves. In any case, I think there is going to be a big reveal when it comes to Kal-Sharok and they need to keep the dwarven characters under wraps if they come from there because I think it is going to be something major. However, those screen shots with the dwarf statue in the mountains and dwarven architecture suggest to me that we are going to Kal-sharok. Remember is was the ancient capital of the dwarves, long before Orzammar, so even without the mystery of how they survived on their own, it is likely to hold some secrets.

The things I'm most shocked and pleased by... revealing some VAs + character names! That's awesome and totally unexpected, even if we can't yet connect those names/voices to the concept art. I'm almost noooot surprised by having a female qunari companion? Like, I was kind of expecting it based on patterns and delirious Dragon Age-deprived hope ![:hue:](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/ylSGZfoaGJIOHQXDloNH.png) but I'm still extremely happy. I'm also pleased that we have an idea of our role in the game, and that that role is more of an underground/everyman role as opposed to Most Noble Lord-Commander Whatsit of the Imperial Whodunits.

I'm so friggin excited by what I've seen so far, especially since they're already at the VA stage; from the radio silence, I thought they were a fair bit back from that. I keep watching the vid over and over for things I've missed. I know a lot of people have specific ideas about what they want from the game, but I tend to roll with the punches, so I'm fairly confident I'm going to like whatever they are doing with it. I'm tentatively hoping for Maevaris and Harding, but anything else is a bonus.

I see this topic going up, and all I can think of is lenny laughing at the prospects of someone being hyped for this game.
For me, I'm just skeptical. That said, I wont ruin anyone's parade here. Hopefully the game turns out well for those who want to play. I want to wait and see before purchasing though.

When I'm completely uninterested in DA, Bioware ends up pulling me back in. I'm not majorly hype about any of the concept art but I am excited to know that oh wow, this is really happening! And that's nice to know. I feel the same.. I had pretty much forgotten about it, losing hope it would ever be made. I still don't want to raise my expectations too much, as there is no release date and I'm not expecting it soon. But I admit, the concept art got me interested again. I'm curious where they will take the story next. It has always been speculated the game would be about stopping Solas from unleashing the end of the world (as humans know it at least), somehow that zeitgeist doesn't feel quite right so many years later, post 2020. Which makes me wonder if it could possibly take place after the veil has already more or less dropped. Just like DAI took place in the aftermath of the war. The theme about "what happens when you don't have power" makes me curious as well.

Well it definitely got me hyped. ![:excited:](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/BWaQqYYvlkjzfUAAHlJi.gif) I certainly wasn't expecting the huge amount of concept art they dropped on us. And it certainly hints at things that I was hoping to see in the game. ![B)](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/svRGzLVjsxnVDvfLJOrp.png) Underwater exploration, flying ships/aravels (I've already pleaded for a flying base ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/uYQYVMAupPAfTXFFwWlB.png) ), varied locations, new boss-level monsters, cities, horror elements... They also mentioned companions (living or dying due to your choices), so I think that should settle some of the worries that DA would pivot completely to a MP game. Of course, this is all with the understanding that it is concept art and anything can change.

As long as we're doing this, they actually said quite a few things I find promising: - New hero! Yayyyyyyyyyy.
- The whole deal about playing a powerless person let down by those in power, which is the complete opposite of Inquisition.
- Based on the concept art, they seem to be taking advantage of the switch to Northern Thedas to shake up the setting and get creative.
That's all stuff I was hoping for, and which I like on a conceptual level. Thing is, coming up with cool ideas is the easy part of the creative process. Whether the game will be fun or not will ultimately depend on the quality of the execution.

I really liked that there was a focus on cities and urban developments in the concept art. I'm hoping they learnt from the criticisms of Orlais in DAI.

- The whole deal about playing a powerless person let down by those in power, which is the complete opposite of Inquisition.
Opposite of all previous DA games. Actually, you have to go back to Jade Empire for powerless protag and then BG1, but you're a special snowflake in both still. Of all the other BioWare games (still ignoring that Sonic game ok), only DA2 isn't a straight "here is your badge, deal with stuff please". It's a raise to power story so you kinda start powerless, but it doesn't sound like DA4 will be a raise to power story. Also, in DA2 Hawke was running away from dealing with the issues, they just kept falling on his/her lap. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/uYQYVMAupPAfTXFFwWlB.png) In other word, this game narrative should feel vastly different from what BioWare has done in the last 15 years. That is hyping me.

I am here on the first page of the hype train. I've wanted to be part of the hype train since I've joined the Bioware fan forum and heard the nostalgic stories of other fans about what it was like to be on the DA2 and DAI hype trains. And I was like, there is where I want to be. So: - I'm hyped for the Warden stuff, 100%.
- FLYING? I saw pink butterfly wings! I agree with Hrungr about floating base!
- I want to kill a Dread Wolf in as tragic a way as possible- absolutely want to cry, make it happen.
- So far haven't seen any battle stuff that looks super interesting, but glad to see more movement that doesn't require using a skill.
- don't want to outright bang anyone, I need more than sexy woman pics to swing my attention that way, and the men look a bit scrawny "I don't often shave" types.
- Can I be an ex Tevinter Slave? PLEEEEEEAAAASSSSEEE
- Can I at least be a City Elf?
- A smaller story with family vibes, ala Hawke! and weekly off screen card games! and real friends instead of COWORKERS

ALL ABOARD THE HYYYYYYYYYYYYPE TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!!!
In addition to being hyped about all the cool art, actually getting some new character names and so on, I am also delighted to be back here (for given qualities of 'here' anyway) with everyone. My favourite part of the dev cycle is where they give us something to chew over but not so much that I'm worried about being spoiled, so this is delicious. Hopefully we'll start to get updates a bit more often.
(I realise they don't want to ruin anything, especially at this stage, but imagine if they just did a little video every couple of months with 'here is an area you'll be visiting' or 'here is some of the mocap we're doing' or even 'here is some more voice acting' since they're already doing some of that.)

I'm hoping that with the art depicting some kind of magic archer and the person with some kind of rifle means that Bioware is finally moving beyond the standard 5 fighting types(S+S, 2H, DW, Bow, and Staff).
Some the areas and new creatures looked interesting, and it seems like a good variety.
