 Google how much money the Dragon Age series has lost.

Dragon Age: Inquisition captivated fans and critics worldwide as it launched in November, and it

quickly became the most successful launch in BioWare history. More than 113 million hours

have already been spent exploring the depth and detail of the single-player experience in

Dragon Age: Inquisition, and more players are joining each day. Named “Game of the Year” by

32 media outlets around the world, including IGN, Game Informer and the Associated Press,

Dragon Age: Inquisition is a true masterpiece from the team at BioWare and a game that is sure

to be played for a long time to come.

excellent cash generation and earnings. This extraordinary

performance was led by FIFA 15, Madden NFL 15 and Dragon Age: Inquisition. In particular,

Dragon Age: Inquisition had by far the most successful launch in BioWare’s history, exceeding

our expectations.

no its not. its 250 hours of a great game. if you bother reading war table (as a roleplaying experice that actually TIES to the story-narration) and various side quests you would see it. the problems it has lie elsewhere, no game is perfect.

Considering no team was fired (or in general, we didn't hear people getting fired at Bioware. We know of people leaving Bioware, not EA didn't), I still don't Think you're making any sense.

UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH,, I was giving you and other people the scenario of how this might work. You took it literally.  i was trying to explain in simple terms how a videogame gets made.  This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that you qouted of me..is exactly how a videogame gets made / how a videogame business goes out of business. If you cant figure this out, then stop quoting me cuz you don't get it and I can't help you any further. . I just broke it down twice for you in the most simplest terms.

DA:I may provide a more customizable player character, but that alone isn't worth slugging through another 80 to 100 hours of boredom. Completing DA:I felt like chore to me, the first time I've ever felt that way with a Bioware game. The party members and the main quests were interesting, but they only accounted for a small portion of the game, and most of the rest was dull. For every minute spent on a main quest or interacting with companions, probably an hour was spent gathering elfroot, closing rifts, or collecting shards.

The reason The Witcher 3 was mentioned so often on the BSN was that both Bioware and CD Projekt Red were known for RPGs with a strong focus on story & characters, but with the third chapter of a popular series (Dragon Age & The Witcher) they opted for a partially open-world approach.

Bioware largely failed in the attempt. They produced a game that was pretty to look at but devoid of interesting content, the side quests as boring as the lifeless NPCs inhabiting them. The story was all too often was delivered through notes and letters found on the ground rather than through dialogue and character interaction. In contrast The Witcher 3's world was never dull, the game's side quests populated by characters and stories as interesting as anything on the main path.

Both companies had similar development goals, but CD Projekt Red produced a much better game.

Jesus, you really dont seem to be grasping what I am saying.... I was informing people of how a videogame comes to be and how a videogame supports it. For whatever reason you think I am sayin Bioware's employees got fired for ?????????????????? ....try to interpret the sayings that you see. This is the final time i will ever speak to you ever again about this subject. waste of my time.

i beg to differ, i find dragon age iqnuisition way more interesting especially in the variety of beatuiful enviroments, yes witcher is a better game overall but this does not take away inquisition's fun. yet overall i like dragon age significantly more and i ll keep repeating it:
Dragon age series requires you to read in order to get the most out of it; codeces, journals, everything! war table missions are role playing missions that narratively fit. 
inquisition without reading anything at all offers you a fractio of its maximum enjoyment. i mean this.

Okay I'm lost, what is Nightmans point exactly?

Dear OP I'm a fan of TW as the next guy and really like CDPR gaming design and "philosophy". However starting a thread in a Bioware fan forum, implying that the game will fail hard and praising a game of a direct competitor is not a very polite and smart thing to do. We don't know yet if the game will fail. Personally I don't think that is going to be the case, personally I have good vibes with what we have seen so far. Let's remain cautiously optimistic or at least neutral towards it. Time will tell and IF critics are to be made please refrain from appearing a TW fanboy because most of the people would stop taking your critics seriously. If there is something you think TW did better then say so but without blindly praising that game.

Written from someone who enjoyed TW1,2,3 and played the heck out of them.
