DAI-Style dialogues camera

Exactly. We're spending so much time doing exactly that, and if more than half of it is done via very conservative dialogue modes that neither convey emotion nor visually interesting content, then the dialogue has to be really good to make up for it, but it just pales in comparison to the way it was done in ME2 where it was consistently a real cinematic conversation if it was a dialogue and not if it was either A: During a combat segment or B: an NPC who just makes a "comment".

If I could decide how the game would work with a magic spell I would keep the "Press V/R/R3 to choose dialogue response" mechanic that DA:I had during gameplay segments -- that neatly engaged you in interactive dialogue whilist being busy with gameplay or exploration as opposed to just standing in place and listening as you don't really know where to look because there's nothing interesting happening in terms of visual information, and then I would make every other dialogue like in ME2. It's impossible unless you're a developer in poland with the Budget of Witcher 3 and limiting the branching dialogue to a lot of auto-responses, but that's why I keep saying "scale it back down". DA:I was way bigger than big enough already. I want the content inside the scope to be richer rather than I want decreased richness of content with an increased quantity of it. All you end up with in the latter approach is a bloated play-time (which is good for EA and producers because it gives good statistics you can brag about) but unmemorable or dissatisfying impressions while in the former you'll get a game people love to talk about in detail and eventually an extended playtime from people replaying the games a lot.

When it came to overall game breadth ME1 and ME2, as well as 3 were perfect. ME3 was a little bloated due to trying to forcibly account for every ME2 character's whereabouts but ultimately the length and pacing of those games are fantastic for an RPG and DA:I is the exact opposite, hence the critcisms. You do not want people to get tired of their game before they stop playing it if it is a story driven RPG that a good portion bought because they wanted a good story.

I'm fine with it if they're only using it for non-critical dialogue during quests. I'll be really unimpressed if they use it for 90% of squad- and crewmate dialogue like they did in Inquisition though.

No, this is NOT a good thing.

I respect that some think otherwise but i dont get how the Quality of Dialogue delivery in a RPG can be a pointless flaw.

Dialogue in a Story heavy RPG is maybe THE single most Important thing to me and the whole Game suffers when it is not done well.

Oh frack, I hated it in Inqusition. It ruined immersion for me. I hoped that I won't see this ever again.
I definitely prefer ME1-3 style. I really hope it's only for minor conversation.

You guys have to notice everything. I was pefectly happy with my unconsciousness.

Disappointed: Not a good news for me. But the worst thing about this in DAI was the loop animation of the NPCs. These kind of dialogues were loop animation+moving lips, total immersion braking for me.

Hopeful: Maybe this kind of dialogue will be less use for MEA and/or more polished.

I'm part of those who thought DAI made an unhealthy use of this, however I was only annoyed that it applied to companions. I think your squadmates deserve more than the NPC treatment. Even if it's secondary dialogues.

If it's exclusively used on the field or in hubs, I don't mind it.

Agreed. When my character is chatting with someone, I like to be able to see their faces damn it! Disappointing Bioware, really disappointing.

Come on Bioware... Witcher 3 pulled Cinematic dialog for ALL conversations, that game came out 2 years ago. Don't wanna be that guy, but Witcher 3 set the bar for how RPG's are to be made whether you're a fan of the game or not. It's kind of a big deal to me, this is a ps4 title only. DAI had old gen to worry about, so I gave them a pass. This shouldn't be happening in Andromeda. I have my expectations really high that they deliver a full AAA experience, to hear this kinda bugs me.

Even in Baldurs Gate titles you got a face to the conversations
Torchlight has this style of conversations, seems they set the new standard.

Maybe it's optional? For action mode version or something. Should I dare to hope?
