It's genuinely difficult for me. I'm such a softie. I always default to playing good characters.
Currently playing Pathfinder and contemplating how I'll play a Demon playthrough. Struggling.

There's been real time combat since DAO. The only thing that bothers me here is that the team will be more like ME2, but tbh if I can command them in a similar vein thats fine by me.
What makes Dragon Age for me is the dialogue and roleplaying. Combat has never been the draw. I'd say the best Bioware combat is ME3/MEA and if thats where DA is heading, then I'm fine with it.

Always interesting to me to see people correlate quality with how "dirty" or "gritty" something is.
Anyway, my take is that it's only a problem when you force the player character to be an active participant in something that is offensive enough to make certain people very uncomfortable, and given what we've seen from BioWare, that's probably what Weekes was referring to.

All I want is an attractive human male face, short yet stylish hair, and a stubble option that isnt pixelated, all on top of a thicc slab of beautiful man marble.
Bioware always delivers for me. Hope they keep it up.

Honestly have no strong feelings about his fate. I think he's a great character that can be taken in any direction without it feeling off.
I only hope he isn't reduced to a mustache twirler but I trust Bioware to not do that.

Dreadwolf being one word is weird to me.
I think (The) Dread Wolf would have been better maybe.
Good choice though.

Difficulty balance. I find the game too easy and snowbally on Normal but Nightmare is just stat bloat.
DAI got it right with the challenges like no potion restocking etc so I'd like them to continue that and add more interesting mechanics on tougher difficulties (another challenge I liked but was bundled with other stuff)

People really going down a rabbit hole parsing that statement.
Probably just means the characters will be more reactive to player choices and actions.

I hope the entire DA4 cast is gays and lesbians so that it doesnt feel like a checkbox. Well actually make sure we have at least one twink , one bear, and one gymbro. One twink, one bear and one gymbro sounds good (like a blues song) ... as long as there is one heterosexual romance and one playersexual romance for each binary sex (total four). Sure a token straight is allowed.

The best thing about Fenris is how he utterly and totally owned Anders in most of the banters they had, just destroyed him. No the best thing about Fenris is how he utterly and totally pushed my Hawke into the wall before laying into him in the rivalry romance.

I see Solasmancers remain ever faithful. I remember being really into Andrew Ryan's stuff. Seems like a decade ago. The fandom continues to grow and cultivate itself. :-) I've just divorced myself from the Dragon Age world to forget that it's been so long since my favorite franchise had a release. I occasionally come back here cause I have no willpower though. Once DA4 is in max-hype mode I'll probably spend a solid couple of weeks just catching up to a tub of icecream. Or two.

On what platform? Seems like I don't follow the right accounts Sorry. Twitter. Possibly because I’m in Canada - trending topics change based on location. I see Solasmancers remain ever faithful. I remember being really into Andrew Ryan's stuff. Seems like a decade ago.

I don't think I've ever been particularly impressed with Bioware character creators. They seem relatively limited and somewhat plagued by horrific lighting that makes restarts after game start quite common in the community it seems.
Mass Effect also has generally better ones than Dragon Age, but perhaps it being limited to humans made their job easier and such. Incidentally I liked DA2's CC the most (at the time) and that game too had only human protagonists.
Funny enough my favorite CC ever has to go to Crusader Kings 3, especially with the mod that unlocks the hidden options.

Mass Effect is the more popular franchise that also got a massive boost from Legendary edition.
It's become quite clear that DA4 is being treated as a sort of relaunch of the DA series. It's being given all the time and leeway to be a successful game to reach a larger audience.

This is most certainly an unpopular take, but I personally dislike mounts, especially exotic ones, and barely used them in DAI.
I stuck with a horse and only used it after I had thoroughly explored an area and in The Hissing Wastes. I just walked everywhere else.

Considering that I want bare minimum marketing before release, fine by me.
If they release something with even a trivial bug they'll be skewered for it relentlessly and they cannot afford that. Cant blame them for wanting to play it safe if thats their plan.

Playing God of War and despite being linear there's tons of collection quests for xp.
I feel that's just how games promote exploration and curiosity. It seems to work apparently otherwise it wouldnt keep popping up.
Perhaps next DA should just provide more carrots. Add xp for every find. Make maps more linear to reduce effective search time. Etc
