I’m glad im not a dragon age fan and can enjoy this if they are making that big of a deal out of this :whew:

But let’s be honest, it’s THOSE people that are upset about the game being *fill in blank* that are currently obsessing over it just like every game release these days.
Real Dragon Age fan are worried about how now everyone’s world states in Dragon Age Keep are worthless now

Yeah the game who’s main deity is a woman who’s a mix between Jesus & Joan of Arc & most important person in the games world is a also a woman but now the game is Woke because of pronouns & post op scars:pachaha:
why are yal like this

I think some of the reviews are starting to come out. Despite what creh said, I think the game will be decent. I do feel that they should have done a better job incorporating SOME of the major decisions. However I want to see what the other reviews will say about the game.

This a two month late video on same preview all those other reviewers played and praised it. And he literally used someone elses joke Qunari build as the title picture of video. Blatantly pushing an agenda right before release. I truly do hate video game journalism/online content creators

The protagonist from the first game, who is canonically one of the most important people to live in Thedas' current era, has been in the bushes for most of the series due to all the variables of what they could've done, and we're somehow just now taking an issue with choices not being carried forward fully. :dead:
This isn't true, every release the first question asked is "what carries over?"

That means all the time spent playing the previous games was a waste. I don't go back and play Mass Effect as much as I want to for the exact same reason.
Guess Morrigan will shrug and say he became a Passport bro and lives in the Fade or some shyt :wow:

I know folks joking but some of us were curating save files and everything.

SMH. I'll wait for a sale, I'm sure newcomers will have a blast.

Them asking, and then actually DOING something with it is two different things, though. They've actually never been all that great at carrying things over, other than the random cameo or offhanded reference. It's cool to see every now and then, but if it gets in the way of telling an effective story, then it's really not worth dragging along.

I would've thought that the fact that they keep trying to move you in from the previous game's protagonist in each game was the giveaway that continuity isn't meant to be as persistent as they claimed Mass Effect would be when they started. Honestly, the closest they've gotten is having Varric's Thedan Forrest Gump situation, and their current run of introducing the next game's antagonist (or at least one of them in this case) in DLC.

The bolded is a weird take, though. If you had fun playing the games, they couldn't have been a waste. The fact that you're attached to your decisions from a 15 year old game definitely suggests it wasn't a waste.

I see your point unless you been playing consistently since Origins there’s not really a problem but Inquisition has some major plot elements that they’ve left open

tbh it's just bad business sense :yeshrug:
know what would get you a sudden influx of new playtime/purchases of the old games in the series? Having people wanting to replay them so they can carry those decisions into this one.
It would benefit sales from the people buying DA:V first and then buying past iterations to play
It would benefit sales of DA:V as people who have babied their worldstates from previous games want to see the continuation.

Not doing it is dumb. Outright.
But it Bioware's baby, and wouldn't surprise me if this game ended in a way that didn't even hint at a 4th game tbh :hubie:
