I played many origins but my favorite was Human Noble and Circle Mage. I have so many playthroughs of these. I was *obsessed* with DAO cause it was my first RPG experience.

So happy for Dragon Age content creators. They've been struggling.

Every time I think of Dragon Age I recall Mark of the Assassin's wyvern hunting for some reason...

Does there need to be a dedicated thread for this? YES. Every prison needs a confinement wing for their lunatics.
But for real, if not for this thread, there would be thread after thread of people saying how much Dreadwolf is going to bomb and how little faith they have in BioWare and that would get annoying for everyone.
That's the joke. It isn't confined.

Just hope there's actual DA/ME news soon because it's clear that in the absence of content to consume, people are digging through some real rabbit holes. Edit: no pun intended quizzy OR ... just play other games. This is a wonderful time for the RPG genre so why wait around for ... 6 years praying that next month we get some exciting news hinting at a future potential teaser that will hint at a future potential trailer that might suggest a release date that will inevitably be pushed back? EDIT: Yes, I have donned my edge hat today. It is currently shredding all my hair it's that edgy. Yes exactly that's what I have been doing. I haven't been waiting for 10 years. I only come back here for relevant DA/ME news once in a while, and all I ever see is rage and drama. Probably because people are sitting here and percolating in their own frustrations that they can't play the game yet and then projecting it into everything that is also negative. At least that's what it feels like. Not trying to tell people what to do with their lives, but my initial post was just a commentary on how it feels like some people who are outright hostile probably should just move on, for their own sake if anything.

Feels like some of you have become somewhat hostile towards BioWare so it's very weird that you still frequent these forums. It is possible to be upset with the way a company has treated its employees and still be interested in what will come of those employees and the game(s) they were working on. This forum has a bunch of people who follow BioWare news closely and share it with others here, so it's a good "one-stop shop" for what's happening wrt BioWare. Yeah sure this wasn't directed at people who are disappointed and/or upset with BioWare (I am definitely disappointed).

I am not sure why this guy shat on ME2 and Skyrim, and he sure was over the top clickbait, cuz this is the internet. However, I do agree that Bioware peaked with DAO, before ditching the more "complicated" RPG elements, in favor of homogenization, action and fetch quests. BioWare peaked with Mass Effect 3. The hilariously overblown drama over the ending aside, that was their best game since. Also DAO had a lot of issues that were only resolved with mods. ME3 didnt need any.

Try the CoD fanbase though if you're a woman and oh boy does that fanbase go from "kinda okay" to "one of the most toxic places on earth" in a heartbeat. Jesus, what's wrong with that fanbase :S It's gotten much worse recently too. I’m aware of that and saw some of that in game lol.but they never claimed to be diverse and accepting. If you’re gonna be toxic at least be honest lol. Thats something I can kind of respect from COD lol. This discussion reminds me of the CoD clip from Matteo Lane on youtube lol

I really enjoyed BG3, but I have to admit it was really, really funny to see people be very forgiving of BG3's terrible Act 3 performance and story inconsistencies. ME3 was an almost perfect game throughout except for its ending (on launch) and people raked them over the coals over it and even after they addressed it it didn't matter.
There's probably some wisdom you can glean from this, but I'll chalk it down to gamers being fickle and dumb when it comes to expectations.
Anyway BG3 is the closest we've been to Dragon Age in a long, long time. Just need them to copy paste the "Choose your party" implementation on camp exit.
I will say I hated the tadpole mechanic. I feel like unless you metagame or play a batshit crazy "ends justify the means" type, messing around with it in any shape or form is beyond stupid. Worst part is there were no side effects to using it, so I basically played blind tactician on hardcore mode.

Found out on Twitter that there's some new drama. Saw someone post something about "what do you love about Dragon Age" only to have people bombard them accusations of "toxic positivity". A post about what people like about BioWare games... that happened... before all this happened. As a human being, I'm obviously empathetic to their cause. The whole situation is quite terrible and I hope they win the lawsuit. On the other hand, this just shows how much gamers have a hilariously parasocial relationship with the people who create the products they consume. Imagine expecting someone who reads a book to care about what some editor did. I'll be honest. I don't know any of these devs, and I never have in anything other than name except for David Gaider when I first came out. I'm not invested. I'm only here to play Dragon Age, not concern myself with what goes on within the company. My expectations are already pretty low. I just want a fun game in Thedas. Don't care who makes it. Can't believe it's been a decade. Might listen to the Solas Trespasser speech again wistfully. True enough points, but this is a Bioware forum. It would be strange if there wasn't some discussion on this. Heck, without discussion about this the forum essentially dies because we haven't a shred of info about the game side of things for a long time. Oh I'm not telling people not to talk about it. I wasn't going to say anything about it at all. No use adding to the fire, but if people wanna go ham about it go ahead. I only got irritated (late) last night because I saw a couple hundred people on Twitter dogpile a user for posting something not inherently critical about BioWare. These terminally online people have declared that people cannot say positive things about BioWare because of some employee drama as if consumers are obliged to care. If some random wants to talk about how much like they Morrigan then that's their prerogative. I'll also admit to being a little sensitive about it because both of my favorite childhood companies (Blizzard and BioWare) get embroiled in one drama after another. I just want good news damnit lol.

Given how much money EA sunk into DA4 with all its reboots and delays and what not it needs to sell really really well to make back even a part of the cost that piled up over all those years. It's not like hundreds of people at BioWare worked for free on those failed attempts. And given how their reputation is at an all time low now... well, good luck. They're going to need it. To be fair, it's not like they're supporting the studio out of charity. They either believe it to be a worthy investment and have faith in the outcome, or Bioware has some unknown leverage over EA's stakeholders. I imagine the former is far more likely. Also people here vastly overrate just how badly Bioware's reputation is. People don't actually think about BioWare that much at all. Actually if I hop on Twitter, BG3's success has people wistfully recalling Dragon Age. People are actually more likely to support a new RPG now, not less.

I hope Bioware/EA leverage BG3's popularity to promote DAD in some way. People already talk about BG3 as if it's the successor to Dragon Age (funny given Bioware did BG1/2 but most dont know that).
Like they need some good will. All I've been hearing is bad news in between radio silence. It's been a decade. Show your core audience something. Anything.
Not saying this about me. Bioware has me for life, but man...

It's probably an unpopular opinion but DA2 had the best combat for me in the trilogy for warriors.

BG3 is coming out in August and having played the EA for a bit, I believe a lot of DA fans might enjoy it. Should help tide you over for a few months.
