I'm not sure I got the feeling act 3 was actually rushed. I just think it was poorly developed but done so within the time they had. By the time act 2 rounds off Meredith and Orsino have already been introduced pretty well and the whole game has been foreshadowing something about the idol; a development which I think makes act 3 bad, but nonetheless it was meant to be that way from the start, thus, a bad development and not a rushed arc. Act 3 in most stories is typically shorter than act 2 and sometimes act 1 as well, and that was true here. You could assume that's because it was rushed. Less content = less development time you'd guess. Maybe true, but the thing is, Act 2 by its ending was already building towards a rising tension ready to burst and you feel in your gut something is yet about to happen and soon. You have the finale to every companion subplot and a few closing words from everyone. It's good closure and you get more by the time you stand with Orsino or Meredith before the final fight. Those things are fine. The problem is definitely the involvement of Red Lyrium that had been lingering throughout the whole game and it turns out it's just the lazy BioWare trope of "lol mind-control" which cheapens the entire conflict because there's no more ideology to drive it, just sheer insanity from a forced plot device and no more ethos left, however, the fact still remains that mages have been oppressed and you can root for their freedom or revenge for whatever the reason may have been for their oppression. We've seen enough examples outside of Meredith in the game that there's a cultural bias towards mages -- it's all good. The biggest letdown is that Orsino's bossfight is copy-pasted no matter which side you're on. I agree, in that sense there's rushed game-development in it since it's a really obvious reuse of assets that didn't need to be. I don't know how much worse this game was at launch though. I played it in 2013 for the first time when all DLC and patches had been made and i haven't encountered any severe glitches or technical sloppiness outside of the obvious cut corners here and there. |

Well, if you friended Isabela and brought here often the game became practically unplayable because every time she was taken off the party you'd lose 5% speed, every time.
Sebastian caused a similar effect with defense.

It also, and I know that's purely subjective, have a beautiful, stylized art style that might to proof much more timeless then Origin's or Inquisition's. |

DA2 also failed on delivering on the family feature, which was used for one reason alone: giving more tragedies to Hawke. I really, really hope they learnt from that in Andromeda. |

I really hope they will refrain from that in MEA... although, we pretty much already know that at least "the father" will be incapacitated in the beginning of the story, so. |

I call them the Mass Effect blues. Anyone experiencing something similar? Anyone feeling it yet? It happens to me every time a new ME game is close to release (read a few months away). I have plenty of games I could play and yet I pick up the controller and just cannot think about anything to play because god damn it...it's not mass effect. So I put the controller down and go back to the websites and the saved google searches to see if there are any news about Mass Effect (whichever is about to come out...this time Andromeda) counting down the damn days and hours until it comes out. I have halo wars 2 coming up in February and I SHOULD be more excited about it but NOOOOOOOOPE. The god damn mass effect blues. Anyways, Thanks for listening...LOL. Lol i actually reduced my time playing Star Wars TOR after the most recent trailer. So i understand how you feel dropzofcrimzon.  |

I just finished DA2 again. What a fucking... awesome game in contrast to DA:I in retrospect! No, they're both good in their respective ways, but seriously, some of you, especially those that haven't played it still and don't care if it's fantasy or sci-fi, you should play it. The deciding thing it has over DA:I is a proper sense of tension and buildup and narrative structure. The ending ain't perfect at all, but it's alright and the buildup to it is some near suicide-level shit to be honest. Next I'm replaying The Witcher 3 for the first time and Blood & Wine and I haven't played the game in full with the expanded Triss patch or UI redesign either. It's gonna be great. That'll teach Mass Effect blues a lesson. Yeah I've got plenty of stuff to do till it eventually does drop. I'll likely do the Witcher games befoer then and at least 1 more run of the DA series as well. I was also thinking I'll probably do at least a couple more runs of the original ME trilogy as well. I do have other games to play as well if I have any spare time after that. |

I've been in the middle of my ME2 renegade femshep run for roughly two years now... so many games got in the way, and I still have to finish half a docent or so before next spring... and if that wasn't enough, there is the DPC factor to consider. I have yet to finish Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 with all DLCs and patches. So many games and so little time... |

I had a little go a Witcher 1 once and got about half way through then lost the save due to computer problems. But I've been so busy with other things and I've just not had the time to get back to it since then. I wanted to play Witcher's 1 and 2 first befoer touching 3 though mostly because I prefer to play games and stories in order. Generally with games like these RPG's though once I start a playthrough I try to stick with it until I get to the end if I need a break to do something else then I try to do that in between games rather than while in the middle of one because I tend to get a bit lost and confused as to where I left it if I end up leaving them for too long. |

Really? Ok, if you don't get to play any of the others, but you HAVE to play Witcher 3... it's a real eye opener at what RPGs still can be today, and I say that as somebody that once believed that there will never be a better RPG then Planescape Torment. It positively puts anything BW, or any other company put out there in over a decade to shame. |

The only thing I don't like about the Witcher series is the fact you fight on your own most of the time whereas generally I prefer to fight as a member of a squad or team like you do in ME and DA. I do like the games though based on what limited experience I have had. But I am looking forward to playing all of them. |

Yea, well - without going to far off topic here - but in regards of what Witchers are, it makes sense for them to fight alone. Then again, I understand that, since I usually also prefer party based games. |

Witcher 3 is an eye opener at how RPGs can still thrive as story-driven, choice-based games without succumbing to stupidity due to going open-world like DA:I or any Bethesda RPG, and it's also a great accomplishment in making a cinematic experience via open-world, but it has almost nothing in common with PS:T when it comes to why that game was so great. |

Both idea of the 10 year span plot, and having your own organization as the Inquisition, were great concepts which failed to deliver. DA2 also failed on delivering on the family feature, which was used for one reason alone: giving more tragedies to Hawke. I really, really hope they learnt from that in Andromeda. True... although, both features did ultimately fall flat because of content missing due to time constrains. We can only speculate what they actually would have been like if they got fully realialized... About the family feature: Very true... one of the "lazy shortcuts" I mentioned. At the point Hawks... well, the last death in the family (to avoid potential spoilers), I didn't even care anymore. I really hope they will refrain from that in MEA... although, we pretty much already know that at least "the father" will be incapacitated in the beginning of the story, so. Any time-skip in Dragon Age thus far has been cop outs. It never feels believable and in DA:I the plot is so vague you literally warp between scenes (it feels that way, I mean) and you're like "wait, did we just go to Orlais, by horse or by sea? How long did this take us?" DA:O at least accounted for traveling by showing us the footprints on the world-map screen and had encounters along the way to simulate the sense of being on the go, and you had a camp. In DA:I you have a stable base you always return to, so the aspect of traveling feels like such an overlooked element that shouldn't have been overlooked. They shouldn't have made estimates telling you how long time you spent but couldn't they at least have showed a scene of getting abord ships or a carriage or a loading screen that shows the route or anything to give a better sense of scale and location? As for family in DA2, it would've worked better if your relationship to mommy had been better established before her death. I really loved Bethany's arc though. Dunno about Carver. IIRC he never rejoined me in my first playthrough, but Bethany you get special scenes with depending on whether she is a grey warden or whether she was put into the circle and you get a nice goodbye near the end after she's rejoined you. As for Andromeda's family, we've learned Alec is not a bad-guy. Mac said he's not going to be an antagonist on Twitter, but we know something happens to him but I don't think he dies either. Maybe he falls ill or gets taken or something weird. The sister/brother hopefully doesn't die, and I feel confident they won't. |

I know it's not ME related, but one excellent blues cure I've found is Final Fantasy XV. Noct is going to be the model for my Ryder, adding 5 years or so aging and smoked paprika coloured eyes.  |

I know it's not ME related, but one excellent blues cure I've found is Final Fantasy XV. Noct is going to be the model for my Ryder, adding 5 years or so aging and smoked paprika coloured eyes. Yea yea, Noct and his boy band... still, I'm a Cindy fan. |

I was for ME3, but not MEA. I'm looking forward to it a lot and may do another trilogy run just because.

I am playing Mass Effect right now, and enjoy it a whole lot. I did not really like any other game they showed on the Game Awards Show, save for one that I don't really think I can play and the two games I have tried on my own after SWTOR that were not by BioWARE's weren't really great. I am not going back to SWTOR, though I miss it a little. I am happy with playing ME and looking into ME:A for the time being.

I totally feel ya, op . Mass Effect is an important series for me. The original game helped me get over some rough stuff in my life and all three games gave me a beautiful universe to get lost in with amazing squadmates to get to know and love. Now, I'm going through rough stuff again and Andromeda is a nice beacon in the dark. I love being able to come here and see new information being discussed by other fans  . I've been passing the time by playing old computer game classics that I've missed, being a console gamer all my life. I've enjoyed some real great games recently. I just finished The Longest Journey and am almost done with the sequel, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. Also, any old console games that I neglected to play in the past. There are some real amazing games that people have forgotten or never played that completely blow a vast majority of current games out of the water (like Threads of Fate on ps1 or the Legacy of Kain series). Anywho, that's what I've been up to and it really eases these ME blues.  |

It's available on Steam so you should be able to get it. |

I call them the Mass Effect blues. Anyone experiencing something similar? Anyone feeling it yet? It happens to me every time a new ME game is close to release (read a few months away). I have plenty of games I could play and yet I pick up the controller and just cannot think about anything to play because god damn it...it's not mass effect. So I put the controller down and go back to the websites and the saved google searches to see if there are any news about Mass Effect (whichever is about to come out...this time Andromeda) counting down the damn days and hours until it comes out. I have halo wars 2 coming up in February and I SHOULD be more excited about it but NOOOOOOOOPE. The god damn mass effect blues. Anyways, Thanks for listening...LOL. I have BIOWARE blues, i play bioware games when new bioware games are about to release!! For example , i restarted DaI prior to MEA while i have many other games to play! |

Normally I'm the same, it did help that most of the games of the last years where parts in a series, though. I'm not quite there yet as far as MEA is concerned... |

For example , i restarted DaI prior to MEA while i have many other games to play! yeah I'm playing DAI atm as wellgot another character I want to do on DAI too but I was thinking I might hold back on that for now and do another ME trilogy run first not sure yet as I've a Shepard in mind I want to play as well. The only thing I'm allowing myself to think relating to MEA for now is what names I think will work well with the name Ryder so I have an idea what to call my heroes when I play them. I've come up with a few mostly girl names thus far but seeing as my first run is likely going to be a fem Ryder that's not so bad but I'll try and thin of some guy names too eventually becqause I will be playing both ways just like with the original trilogy. |

and do another ME trilogy run first I started a ME3 playthrough a few days ago, but I ended up re-installing ME1 last night. I felt like playing it from the start is how this should be done. I tried it last summer and failed miserably. Although, I know the issue: I can't Engineer, it's the only class I haven't done a full trilogy playthrough with for a good reason....it just bore me. I think I'm going to do a Sentinel trilogy. |
