Dragon Age: Revolution or something of the sort would be my guess, if our assumption that it's about a movement in Tevinter is true.

I miss dragon age, you guys. I could cry I'm getting emotional over how much I want to play something new. I come here every once in a while to see if anything new dropped. I'm ready for the next Dragon Age

If anyone played FF10, Andraste could be the Yuna to our character's Tidus.
She's technically the "main" character while we are there to support her, and just like Tidus, you're forgotten about in the annals of history
Or maybe you can actually play one of her disciples since they're mostly blank slates, and the only predetermined part is what you do at the very end.
I would actually love this, should they ever want to deconstruct Andraste in Dragon Age. Would make for an amazing story if they do it right.

The amount of salt over a mild name change that devs actually tried to justify rather than waive does not give me hope in Dragon Age 4 not being meme'd to death by players.
Honestly this almost reads like concern trolling.

In my opinion the problem is that people are all too willing to emphasize what they dislike about something at the expense of all that they like.
Also, Anthem may not be what BioWare is known for but if it's a good game overall then why does that deserve negative criticism?
Criticizing something for what it is NOT can get annoying, and as a dev myself I can see how that can be seen as presumptuous and arrogant.

Nothing. The Kaidan/male Shepard arc is my favorite in any video game ever. A) I wouldn't want a remaster cuz I'm sure loot crates will be included. I'd have the Kaidan/Male Shep romance restored in ME1. It definitely wasn't intended, but I found the whole buildup between them to have made the ME3 coupling all the sweeter.

You sound like someone who hasn't actually played the game recently so you don't count. I thought you were handpicking the respondents to your survey to skew the results in order to promote an agenda. It's good to get confirmation of this. The number of participants was too low and the success rate too high to suggest a genuine attempt at this experiment. Er... 1) Given that my initial statement had me saying that people actually played the game again after I talked to them, you don't fit the criteria to lump yourself into it. I neither held a discussion with you, nor were you part of the people who called it trash that played it again. So if you want to get scientific on me, at least consider how much you failed at the parameters. 2) This isn't a scientific study. I spoke with 4 people I knew IRL (2 friends, 2 coworkers) who hated the game at launch (for various reasons). After talking to them for a bit about it, they went back and tried it again and were pleasantly surprised. One person even annoys me to play MP with him. I chalk it down to people IRL less likely to put up walls and engage in memery. And congratulations. You figured out my agenda of wanting to people to have a good time they'd miss out on because they've got their heads so far up their wazoo they can't see beyond the memes and crowdsourced shitposting. *snort* I did laugh at someone bringing up the "my face is tired" meme in 2018. Never even got the joke. Anyone who has ever worked with people knows that it implied being tired of having to put on a fake smile all day and being done with it.

And I did play it again. I enjoyed it, but not the same as when I replay other games, You recognize the impact of familiarity, yet you say this. The two statements aren't independent. People walked into Andromeda expecting the same magic of the entire trilogy to be recaptured in one game, as if that's remotely possible or even a fair comparison, and then they try to recreate those steps in an effort to replicate the OG experience, ignoring all the new things that make this game great.

Starting from last month, I challenge anyone I see referring to Andromeda as "trash" to play it again and get back to me. So far it's been 4/4 successes. Make it 4/5 - still trash. I do try and like Bioware games and tend to give them repeated attempts. But then again if someone abandoned the game because of the emptiness of the world (Bioware doesn't know what makes exploration exciting), the quality of the dialogue ("my face is tired"), the lack of choices (no renegade), the characters (Cora is annoying, Peebee is annoying, Liam is annoying, Drack is okay though, Jaal is dull) etc, patching the animation isn't going to help that person much ... Combat is good though. Very fun. You sound like someone who hasn't actually played the game recently so you don't count.

Pitting the setting of MEA against the trilogy's setting is unfair really. The trilogy had three games to develop a lot, while we've only scratched the surface with MEA.

Funny how people's opinions change after the echoes of internet salt become a distant memory and you get to form your own opinions! Patches helped though of course, not gonna deny that.

Cheers mate! Hopefully he sticks his head in at some point. Doing some research on the ol’ interwebz I’ve just found out about combining the isharay with a bio converter which sounds utterly brutal - I must test this! I lol'd when I put two and two together and realized that sniper's name is called "Goodbye".

There were more options in ME:A than ME3. DAI still did it better. Pros and cons, but one thing that MEA did great was basing the responses on intent as opposed to tone.

No lie I want it to be like MEA combat, without the profile limitations and an extended focus on melee (to replace gunplay).
DAI was a step in the right direction. Now just go all the way.

I'm just here playing MEA all sad that there likely won't be a part 2 til I'm in my mid-30s if ever. Hope we get news about DA4 soon. Have a whole backlog of games to tide me over for quite a while but some certainty would be nice.

Reading this thread is a little painful tbh. It's been a year. What's with the cynicism? Is there any particular reason for optimism? I wouldn't exactly consider myself a cynic...mostly just frustrated by the decision making process of late and the apparent lack of anyone willing to take charge at EA/Bioware. I'm not calling for optimism. There's a difference between apprehensiveness and outright cynicism though. What do we know about the development of the upcoming games other than hearsay to warrant that judgement? As I said it's been a year. If people genuinely lack any faith in BioWare (for whatever reason) then I question their reasons for still being here after all this time.

Just reading the comments here, I'm a little surprised at people saying you can't play a "military" Ryder. You can do it just fine with an intelligent selection of the dialogue wheel as well as the choices that are presented throughout the story.
If people are referring to how the crew and NPCs treat Ryder, well you can't really control how others look at you now can you?
