Was not expecting to see this today. That's some nice concept art. And dat Solas bit. I really hope it's good. I really did love this universe back in the day.

Who cares, it'll suck like 2 and 3. God those games were such shit. Can't believe it's the same series as the first game

Expected a video making fun of them

Hey now, only 2 can be said to have truly sucked. 3 was fine tho it did have its share of problems. Hopefully they've learned from it. And Bioware's A team s working on this so we don't have to worry about it ending up like Andromeda.

The first one is still the best tho, but we're never getting a game like that again. :\

IDK, my playthru of 3 was terribad. My henchmen didn't speak to me or each other AT ALL in the overworld. Only when I would engage them in the hub would I even hear what they sounded like. Meanwhile there are all sorts of neat little convos between my henchmen in 1 and 2

Never. How bad is that man? That game blew my brains into the stratosphere

I _hope_ it's great. The world was built on the underpinnings of racism and social inequality. I like that they are taking a more aggressive forefront position about it. More Solas pls.

Get the treasure, Dorian!

I'd argue we've gotten games that are better, but not as grand in the narrative sense. D: OS2, Pillars of Eternity are both phenomenal games.

Inquisition was a great game and i felt it was on par with origins.

I hope they do fix the lack of variety in armors and weapons and ditch the MMO style quests too.

That was my real issue with the game

I'm so hyped for it

I literally blanked on who Dorian was. I thought this was a narnia reference or something. That's how bland and forgettable the DA3 characters are

Oh I meant we're not getting a game like that again from Bioware because EA won't let them lol

The hell? Dorian is one of the greatest DA characters ever and had 90% of the game's best dialogue.

the game has like no dialogue!!

Still haven't beaten 3 tbh. Game was a slog like Andromeda.

The game is all dialogue wtf lol

Dorian and Solas are the two best characters they created for that game, and the whole principle cast is good. Yes, even Sera.

If you haven't ridden the bull, have you even fucked?

I would have thoroughly enjoyed it if that was the cast. My game was cast in an eerie silence whenever I wasn't witnessing a story cutscene/conversation. All I would hear is what everyone says when they're in combat, which is grunts or bullet point sentences like "die" or something

did you guys all fall for marketing or something or have i been robbed of a game experience

I feel like you didnt play the game

I can assure you that I completed the base game

Sera is the worst character Bioware has ever created

---

Will the game finally let you bone a dwarf

Here is but a small taste of Dorian dialogue:

I remember submitting funny Inky quotes to the GameFAQs trivia page and almost all the best ones involved Dorian. Him, Varric, and Sera are my favorite party for their nonstop sass.

James Vega begs to differ

Miranda is worse than both those

@Lysandear , when did you play the game? I think I remember hearing that there was a bug at launch that prevented the companions from talking to each other during overworld segments. Maybe you had it?

Or literally any ME Andromeda character. Tho I didn't mind Vega that much.

I wasted so much time on Inquisition collecting stones only to find I didnt need half of them.

Disciple is so boring and forgetful that people forget about him when talking about Bioware's worst character.

I played it feb/march this year. This has to be it, and now that you mention it I must have looked into it after the fact because this seems familiar to me. Damn man I got robbed so fuckin hard huh

Yeah, those quests were garbage. They would've been slightly more tolerable if you didn't need to constantly backtrack to find shinies you somehow missed before over and over, and each skull thing only revealed a handful at a time...but only just.

I enjoyed Dragon Age 3 but holy shit was it full of filler MMO style quests. Exploration was fun. Some of the characters were enjoyable, some were shit. Just talking to Vivienne made me want to punch her.

I never understood the hate for Vivienne. She was great in combat and she had great dialogue.

She was way better than Sera and Blackwall but yet i see them way more love than her.

Bioware hasn't made a good game in almost a decade

Dragon age Origins was the last good game Bioware made
