There's a part of me that wants them to Fallout 4 it and reveal/release that same year. That way were not waiting 5 years for it to come out like MEA.
Agreed.
I had (and have) no interest in Mass Effect (old or new), so that didn't bother me.
But the years long hype for DA:I was exhausting. Often fun, but just as often exhausting.
Fortunately, everything we've seen (including what we haven't seen) indicates they are going that route of 6-9 months between "We're making a Thing!" to "Here's the Thing!"
There are minor drawbacks to the out of nowhere "We're making a thing! Ready in 3 months!" approach. That is of course, limited public exposure, meaning the public has less time to digest and analyze what features and additions, and possible subtractions the game has and thus any possible feedback to things we might not like as a community are basically unfix-able. Because as we know, not everything can be fixed with patches or DLC.

They are wrong. I think it's more a reflection of poor organization... like the photo of Tali being some Google image ripoff. They probably got in a time/resource crunch and resorted to something like that. It's tough making software.
Tali scandal what...?
There was a lot of hype surrounding Tali's face and what she looked like under the helmet, especially for the people that romanced her. When it was "revealed" in ME3 they never actually showed it, but instead Tali gave a picture to Shepard. To add insult to injury the picture was basically a photoshopped version of a random google-image, nothing unique about it at all.

It's a balance, but you also run the risk of announcing something too early (look at Visceral's Star Wars game). When it clearly didn't need to be announced yet. You don't get the audience to hyped, while also having a backdoor if things go way South during production i.e. Visceral's Star Wars game.
I don’t get the feeling it will be released any time soon. With all these tweets and 300 pages we know about a da franchise in works which they backtracked from, a strange picture of a wolf over a rook/tower. The most relevant tweets? Are from Emily Pentapod who seems to bring a lot more f enthusiasm to project
In between apocalyptic visions of "The World of Dragon Age: the MMO you've all been waiting for!" I've been assuming the DA team is in a relatively weird place where the bulk of the people that's worked on it are currently on Anthem but that the game is in development anyway, so what they've been doing is laying groundwork and waiting for Anthem to take off and get stable before EA shifts some more people back. The game can only benefit from that to my mind but that's only if that's what's actually happening.

Hammasa Kohistani, first English muslim/queen of England. So at least, BW has a good taste.
I think she was used as the model for the Banshees.
Pretty sure Tali's writer said somewhere that Quarians should have looked more alien. Plus, long hair would be extremely impractical and uncomfortable in her suit.

Lol the Queen of England has been Elizabeth II since way before this woman was born. Hammasa Kohistani was crowned Miss England in 2005, a beauty pageant title.

You say that like we're supposed to notice a difference? Not seeing it.

Shhh, the old one has no power and only drinks tea all day. So I'll go with better looking one.

I've been twitchy since the start of my fifth playthrough....

I'd rather they do this than have to wait another five years after Anthem comes out. Especially since as far as I'm concerned, Anthem is That Thing That I Don't Care About That's In The Way of DA4™.
If that bint ruins our honeymoon, I will wear her Qun for a boot! Let's wrap it up, love.

Pretty much.

So, am I the only one that's interested in Anthem?

I very much doubt that.
I believe there's an entire sub forum here dedicated to it

No. But there likely is not a lot of crossover in the DA fandom. There might be more people in the ME fandom that are interested since it's a futuristic shooter. But for DA? Many of us want a strong singleplayer experience, with a good story, a character we create and customize, and roleplay elements. As far as we know, that is not Anthem, nor anywhere near what Anthem is promising to be.
For many DA fans, it's just a thing that's standing in the way of DA4 development; even worse, if it fails, it could mean bad things for Bioware, the future of the company, and DA as a franchise. ME is on indefinite hiatus and many regard it as dead. We'd rather not see the same fate for DA as a result of a totally unrelated game developed by the same studio. And whether accurate or not, some ME fans also place blame on Anthem for taking resources away from MEA development. There is a lot of bitterness from the ME and DA fandoms toward Anthem.
(I obviously don't speak for all DA fans, only myself and those I know who have made similar comments.)
