I think it will be much like DA:I in space - which means it's going to be good, not great.

I liked exploring the different environments in Inquisition but eh I hope they don't have little star observatories for unlocking this one door/portal in some random remote area. Very Happy

No real-time war/space map mini missions would be nice too, mods removed that little annoyance from DA:I though so the same should work here.

...
Mods also helped make certain curiously designed characters look a lot better, everyone in ME4 so far seems to be a bit wonky looking though with even the all-female sex-elves ("Asari") being affected so eh, guess mods will be useful here too if the same tools could be updated to work with ME4 Very Happy

 Spoiler:
 


Come to think of it I wonder how Krogan look like in ME4, they can't really be made any bulkier or how to describe it so.

While I'm sceptical about Bioware developers, they claim to have learned "some lessons" regarding DA:I and the MMO-ish features.

Here's hoping that's true.

Am I the only one that didn't like DA:I at all? I thought it was littered with generic map filling quests that really looked like some procedurally generated crap to me.

Especially when I came into the second zone and saw the gameplay and quests were almost identical to the first zone, that was it for me.

It's a modern Bioware game. I'm pretty sure you're not the only one who didn't like it.

How did you come to that conclusion? That you're the only one I mean... plenty of people had the same complaints about DA:I.

It's full of dreary and grindy filler content - but it's all very optional.

To me, the good parts were the character progression, the main narrative (not great - but decent enough), and especially the visual variety in the zones.

The combat wasn't great - but it was entertaining enough, especially as a melee rogue.

Overall, it was much better than Dragon Age 2 - but nothing special.

Everytime I hear anyone say anything about DA:I it's always about how good the game was. I have a feeling this game is widely embraced not just by critics but by the gaming community and I don't understand why Laughing

The graphics look great though, I'll give it that.

IMO its a great action casual RPG.

But who gives.
I'm probably one of the few ones here who actually the game rather much for what it was. Very Happy

I'm the one who only liked non-open world parts of DA:I. Strip at least 80% of tat from open world segments and you would actually get a good game worth replaying more then once without boring you to death.

If there was a modding scene for DA:I, that would be a hell of a good project to make.

I played through DA:I, and at that time actually thought it wasn't that bad mechanics wise. Since I never much fancied open world RPGs, I didn't think much of how boring it was - thought that was just the way it is. The story and characters were atrociously bad paper-cutouts. Worst writing of BioWare, sharing the spot with DA2.

Then POE came along, and reminded me how GOOD team based RPG mechanics were supposed to be like. So my opinion of DA:I further slipped.

Then TW3 came along, and fucked the everlasting shit out of the trash, that was DA:I. (Yeah, at this point this is like some sort of objective truth of the universe, so don't come at me with opinions, please. That's my opinion, mkay?)

You see, DA:I was not action enough to be a good action-RPG, but it wasn't tactical enough to be a good cRPG. It landed in-between. What I call the safe-zone. Everything about DA:I was uninspired, focus-tested shit that definitely doesn't offend. It also doesn't evoke any sort of emotions at all.That is exactly what happens, when you try to be everything to everyone. You fail. And DA:I tried many things, did nothing well. Shit.

Loved the graphics though. That was awesome.

I loved DA: I when it came out. I really did. I fully finished the game three times. And then TW3 came and i couldn't start DA: I again anymore.

I kind of enjoyed DA:I on release but it had so many flaws that I was essentially being more forgiving because I expected them to get fix eventually. Except they weren't. The "tactical" camera view was useless since it only had the minimal amount of zooming out, the powers your characters had were largely dull and the AI was a joke - they kept getting stuck on rocks, logs, outcrops, etc. Every battle was filled with annoyances and cursing. Where strategy should come first, struggling with the horrible interface and game mechanics took up most of the time. On top of that, none of the characters had any charm, the world was largely tedious, respawning ridiculous, the way camps worked broke immersion and it really felt more like a shallow action game as a result. Score 5/10

Going by posts like that (Minus the whole Bioware and what their developers are up to on Twitter.) and well screens of the game in general then yeah similar to Inquisition some of the characters look "off" or "wrong" somehow, that Krogan in the above screens too for that matter, not exactly warrior race there. Very Happy

I was seeing the altered version of the girl, so much better than the (objectively off-putting) bioriginal:

So they paid a model to stand and be scanned and photographed - only to create something that is 100% NOTHING LIKE HER?

That's like asking ME to model for an Asari.

Did I miss the point?
