Kinda makes me sad that DA is getting rebooted as everyone liked Inquistion and it ended with loose threads.

I remember Bioware saying they had two Dragon Age projects being worked on and neither were DA4....

So I guess one of them was a reboot?... and no DA4 is out of the question.... So what was the other DA project? A mobile game?

Dragon Age series, which sources say will implement more live elements, but still heavily focus on characters and story.

Nah

It was a great game that 20 hours of fetch quests that you never had to do if you don't want to.

A spin-off, maybe? I really don't have anything against Bioware games, personally. Mass Effect: A is a joke and I won't touch it, but I loved Inquisition and I'm looking forward to Anthem.

Is inquisition not the first game in the reboot? Cause I don't remember those tears in the sky in dragon age 1 at all. or 2 but I only played that for like 10 hours before I sold it.

Plenty of people hated it sure, but many of the reasons people cite make me wonder if they actually played the game most of the time.

I don't think Dragon Age is being rebooted. I think this site misunderstood the quote from the Kotaku article.

There are still small teams maintaining Star Wars: The Old Republic and piecing together the next Dragon Age, which was recently rebooted, but the bulk of BioWares staff in both Edmonton and Austin are now on Anthem. And theres a sense among BioWare employees that the companys future is inextricably tied to this game.


I'm pretty sure they've rebooted the development of the game. Not rebooting the entire franchise. Pretty sure Bioware have outright called it DA4 in the past.

The only DA spin-off I'll take is if its set in Tevinter. I wonder if they're trying for some MMORPG, or a "soft" Destiny-style open world multiplayer with a cinematic campaign. I don't quite know how they'll implement it though.

Inquisition literally ended on a cliffhanger AND had a DLC that further focused on that cliffhanger.

Like...wut

Hopefully the "reboot" refers to a gameplay reboot and they make it an ARPG or something.

Inquisition is 3.

The rifts you close only opened at the start of 3.

Varric and Cassandra are in your squad.

This was a while ago but I heard someone at Bioware say they were working on 2 Dragon Age projects and neither were DA4

This was when Inquisition came out and the implication was they were smaller games.

Dunno if that changed.

Mike Laidlaw and Patrick Weekes were pretty open about working on the next Dragon Age game. Seemed obvious it was DA4.

Laidlaw left late last year though. Which is probably when DA4 got rebooted.

Not like the game was that hard anyway, so making you do something other than mash one attack is good.

I'd hope any future games are similar (gameplay-wise) to Inquisition, but with less crappy fetch quests. Oh, and it should have more dwarf stuff.

wtf does "live elements" mean?

Inquisition was a solid game, IMO. They should just build on that and not go so heavy handed on the bullshit MMO-lite stuff. I specifically made the mistake of spending too much time early on in The Hinterlands so I was already pretty much over the MMO fetch stuff by time I left that zone.

Honestly Andromeda really suffers from a lack of direction and open world syndrome where you have huge areas and barely anything to do.

Inventory UI was also garbage.

Gameplay was great, but everything else was just mediocre at best.
