BioWare in name only. Set your expectations low.

 

[Raven117]

I will be shocked if this is good.... or even alright.

Bioware from the Ps3 generation (and before) is long since gone.

 

[Denton]

It still gets me that Thedas literally means The Dragon Age Setting. I like Dragon Age but god damn what a generic ass fantasy.

Looking forward to Dreadwolf, maybe Bioware will have learned some lessons from terribleness of Inquistion and Andromeda and awesomeness of other companies's RPGs (Larian, CDProjekt, Warhorse).

Well, it is a big maybe.

 

[Heaven Angel]

About time, how long did we had to wait for this.

 

[Shubh_C63]

This image fill me with dread. Imagine this being official key art for their game

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Incoming Dragon Age Origins spiritual successor.

BG3 has opened the floodgates.

I don’t think BioWare of today is capable making a game half good as DA:O.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

This image fill me with dread. Imagine this being official key art for their game

Why?

Looks like dracula themed. Background looks beautiful.

You just need to dissociate purple colour with Fortnite.

 

[RiccochetJ]

I really hope that this is a Bioware return to form. Which reminds me that I need to play the Inquisition DLC at some point. I bought it extremely cheap during a sale and just haven't gone back.

 

[M1chl]

Slop incoming

 

[Shubh_C63]

idk. looks very low quality. Like AA artist would made.

While other game hits you with these for their first promotion art.

 

[Skifi28]

Will this be a proper CRPG? Or an action RPG? I remember seeing some very early stuff with action combat and over the shoulder camera.

I hope something awesome happens every time I press a button!

 

[nicoGec]

Honestly I’m expecting the best BioWare game since ME2 but the more action oriented combat will make people angry.

 

[ClosBSAS]

Incoming Dragon Age Origins spiritual successor.

BG3 has opened the floodgates.

Man i fucking hope so....inquisition was complete and utter TRASH...even 2 is a better game.

 

[Sanepar]

Purple theme looks more Woke culture pack. The screenshot of the city at night looks like a cyberpunk game, i hate these new gens and their love about colours and lights everywhere. It is suppose to be a medieval game not a rainbow game.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Jeff Bezos as an Elf? Lmao.

 

[Hudo]

Jeff Bezos as an Elf? Lmao.

He's about to go Amazon Prime on your ass.

 

[stn]

I'm optimistic. I love Origins, and 2 was great. I remember finding Inquisition okay at the time, but I may need to replay it (along with the DLC, which I hear is amazing).

 

[Last Hearth]

The whole lore is so convoluted that I’ve completely lost interest.

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

There's no way this is any good, unfortunately. Bioware is too woke and too incompetent

 

[Puscifer]

This was being worked on long before BG3 lol

And has gone through a ton of reboots in design. I am not hopeful, Origins felt like a swansong to their old mindset.

 

[adamsapple]

Solas in particular was quite dramatic at the end of inquisition. After that lead up to the ending and the well of sorrow I think they’ll be a lot of attention on elves as a species.

The "No chill" version of the final conversation was pretty good. He just runs down the entire backstory in 5 sentences because you chose the option that you don't have time to hear his story.

 

[Topher]

I'm just glad Bioware isn't doing Gass nonsense anymore

 

[Nonehxc]

I'm looking forward for Bioware to surprise me, but Im afraid this doesn't smell of roses but cadaver. And after DeadWolf releases, EA will finally have to kick it down the ravine because they can't keep parading Bioware's corpse and IPs around like it's anything like the live and great Bioware of old.

Inb4 secret development team from Respawn was developing this together with Bioware.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Boy, that does not instill much confidence...

Watch it release as a polished, complete, satisfying single player game with no microtransactions for $60.

Spoiler

And then EA shuts them down anyway

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Action combat.
GasS model.
Loot boxes.
Performs like shit.

Get hyped.

Made for Modern Audiences.

 

[simpatico]

This is not a game that is loved by its creators. Just a job. “Time to prepare EA RPG #472”

 

[Darkmakaimura]

It's all about having a job and making money. There is seems to be less passion.

You can tell this with free games that are better than the base game i.e. Enderal.

 

[Arsic]

Made for Modern Audiences.

Forgot to add sweet baby Inc involved in character creation and script writing,

 

[Esca]

Hoping for the best but expecting the worse

 

[Madflavor]

However low your expectations are, they're not low enough

Fuckin A brother.

 

[StereoVsn]

Jeff Bezos as an Elf? Lmao.

Now I can’t unsee it!

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

This image fill me with dread. Imagine this being official key art for their game

It gives mobile game spin off vibes

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Hey guys, FYI excitement for this game has reached a “fever pitch” according to DualShockers

Though some people remain cautiously optimistic, a feeling of overwhelming excitement is now beginning to spill over across forums and Dragon Age community spaces. There's a growing sentiment among fans of the series that this is finally their year.

"Honestly? I'm so excited," reads the top comment of a recent Reddit threadgauging the feeling of the community.

I’m not going to link this story because it’s just reporting on what a couple people said on Reddit lol. Search for it if you want.

Is the character in the pic the new female protagonist?

 

[adamsapple]

This image fill me with dread. Imagine this being official key art for their game

i don't know why, but the way this picture is framed, it reminds me of the EGA era video game title screens like Prince of Persia.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Is the one in the pic the new female protagonist?

Yup. She’s a strong independent woman who defies traditional dwarven beauty standards by trimming her beard (don’t worry she still has full armpit + leg hair)

 

[SidViscous]

i don't know why, but the way this picture is framed, it reminds me of the EGA era video game title screens like Prince of Persia.

The background has that “we only have 256 colours but we know how to use them!” Lucasarts point and click game vibe

 

[Rambotito]

You can hear EA racking that shotgun shell into the chamber if the old dog doesn't peform.

Isn't this the game with that crazy cross-dressing writer?

This one is probably their last shot. Jeff said they were very confident with this one

 

[Shubh_C63]

I fully expect it to be a AA quality game, which is going to massively disappoint people.

It will go toe to toe with Dragons Dogma 2 in people head.

 

[Camreezie]

Why have they put zuckerberg in this

 

[Zathalus]

Inquisition (especially Trespasser) was great. But that was a decade ago and the output (and turnover) at Bioware has been terrible. I have very low expectations for this.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Looks like it's gonna be closer to Inquisition but even more dumbed down and action-heavy, kinda like Final Fantasy XVI. Also you really should look up who is a game director and what are their views on Dragon Age franchise

Her?

This is going to be great! A real treat.

 

[Draugoth]

Her?

This is going to be great! A real treat.

Bioware has been LGBT Friendly since the DA2, even before it became a trend.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I know

Which means this'll be great. Might even have a few buzzwords and pro nouns chucked in for good measure.

I'm actually looking forward to it.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

"game director", meritocracy at its best.

 

[Braag]

I have no faith in BioWare of today, but let's see.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Her?

It's over.

Honestly, this is one of my most anticipated releases. I don't plan on buying it or playing it, but I will get hours of entertainment out of it's existence. Concord is gonna be hard to beat for megaton of the summer, but if anyone can do it, it's these people.
