Chill Zone (The Tavetaan)

That's anecdotal.   Off hand, I agree, but MEA has the fresh newness of "only played once." 

Moe the time and research. Things like: were audio dialogue's given, was there feedback from the NPC(s), and does it connect to any plot line or simply immerse one in the world? Also, whether or not the Protag should be bothering considering job description.

Yeah, somebody would have to be really bored and have a lot of time on their hands to dig into all that. Neither game is tiny. 

The question was if the Jaardan are advanced scientists, who created life and got hit by the Scourge, is her Creator/god fallible as well. I went with "There was no proof either way, yet it never bothered you before". I'm not sure if her reaction was negative or judgemental, more like neutral (she needed to vent it out, not to discuss).

From what little is still clinging in my brain, they seemed about equal. There's a little audio in either the get, the resolution, sometimes both. The majority of them were, even from description, nothing that should have been spent any time on from a narrative perspective. I think DAI did it a little bit better because they tended to loop you around areas where you needed to be for the main quest anyway, so there was at least a perceived flow for how to approach a chunk of terrain. Overall I enjoy DAI more, still playing through now for my 7th or 8th time, and I'm stalled out on my second playthrough of MEA.

Not so much for me. Though I haven't checked in on that part of the forum for quite some time. I just don't like other people on my video game lawn. 

I talked about this before.  It doesn't look like any game I've ever been interested in or will ever have any interest in.  That's not say I wouldn't try it at some point, but I've seen nothing to make me want to try it.  At all.

As far as your question about side quests re MEA/DAI, I've done no crunching, I can only say that I found MEA side quests more enjoyable and less tedious.

P.S And thanks for the invite 

I'm going to wait until it gets much closer to release and then give it a fair looksie - can't miss out on fun. Same as I did with Bioware's Star Wars MMO - but I didn't end up buying that. My son did though and he enjoyed that game. 

Nope not even remotely interested in Anthem I don't do MMO's I'll wait for DA4

curious but don't quite like the smell.

i will admit Vetra was my most disappointing character.
