Even the executions - where you cut someone’s head off - don’t net a spray of blood. If this was DAO, the Inquisitor would be drenched. More realistic? Maybe. But less fun. On the other hand, I turned off the gore in all DA games. I don't mind seeing it, but it messes with pretty screenshots. Priorities, man.

And traded it for the kind of cleancut, law-abiding evil that ultimately causes more suffering! Yeah, but nobody plays Mortal Kombat for the Friendship finishers. That may be. But on the flip side, I’m really intrigued by the mechanics of fighting games (to my limited knowledge, they seem to be more state-based than most combat systems), but the framing makes me roll my eyes so hard. I’d be so into a game that had fighting game mechanics but skinned as, idk, diplomacy or something.

From what I've seen across different places there has really been little to no negative coverage outside of your regular Bioware/EA bashers and clickbait. And recently EA said in its investor call - a bunch of people they legally can't lie to - that they're pleased with the overall reception and great interest in the game.

They also told investors they were satisfied with the sales of Mass Effect Andromeda.
The fact that there is still a majority of game journalists (not Youtubers) asking "So what do you actually even do in this game?" is probably not the best sign.

Where do you get the 'majority of game journalists' from? I don't think it's a claim you can really substantiate, and it's definitely not something that could help you support a claim that the game so far is not well received or anticipated. Plus, I've seen a ton of journalists (and youtubers) who have seen the game behind the scenes and they were pretty much always excited about what they've seen. Also - like I said, EA can't lie to their investors. They also acknowledged that review scores for MEA aren't what they hoped for, so if they said that MEA sold well enough then it means that MEA sold well enough for them to be satisfied.

They also told investors they were satisfied with the sales of Mass Effect Andromeda. Fair point. still, EA is at least publicly behind Anthem. That's good for it for now. (For the record, I don't have an opinion on Anthem's quality at this time, though I likely won't play it since I don't do more than one MMO(lite?) game at a time.)
I... guess I am a logic... god ? Would you like Earl Grey for your offerings or do you prefer Chai? Lemon grass?

Masala Chai will do Or green/white tea with jasmine. Plain black quality tea may keep me from raining fire on random villages.

I thought EA was happy with the sales of MEA and the post-release income was-what-it-was.
I don't think we should be expecting a next DA or ME to not happen, unless perhaps Anthem flops (or ironically, it surpasses any DA/ME by magnitude).
They did push back DA longer than otherwise though (all being Edmonton) and ME was decided to be sat on for a while (due to Montreal problems and closure).
I just hope DA isn't cross-gen again. Make it current gen designed and only upscale for a next gen release/port, not the other way around (DAI, design downscale was apparent).

Hopefully once Anthem is out they will start talking about Dragon Age a lot more than vague "We're working on something"s. This. And given that there's going to be a considerable gap between DA:I & DA4, I have a feeling BioWare might be working on/outsourcing something DA-related (indie game?) to help tide us over.
