Is the info in the trailer correct? The description says the video is just that guys edit.

So, reading about these buffs you have to apply during combat, it sounds like Owlcat wanted to bring all that buffing from WotR to this one too. Or is this based on some GW rulesset?

Well, players voted for it, blame them.

Yes, and most of them are a bit better in the game itself, IMO. The pale-elf vampire and the overtalky wizard are about the same.

Steam awards voting is up, and in the "story rich" category, there's four AAA-games, and a Chinese dating sim... I guess it has a lot of fans. https://store.steampowered.com/steamawards

I guess the logic is that old 3D ages really badly, while the kind of partially animated comic-style is kinda accepted for smaller games these days. ...And I have to say, personally I prefer the new ones. Neither are that great though.

Isn't this kind of pay-to-win? https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/world-of-warcraft-service-character-boost Don't play WoW myself, but I heard there's lots of talk about that.

Steam blurb says "Carve a life together. Meet players from across the globe, build a life, explore and survive together. Construct persistent buildings and communities, or strike out alone to discover the world for others." Sure sounds like it's the same world for everyone. Do they realize people will comb through it in a week or two?

Sounds very close to the Kingmaker and WotR experience. Pretty much as expected.

That trailer has a grand total of two still shots that might be in-engine, so there's no way of telling how ready it is. If you're an optimist, reveal next year, release 2025. If you're pessimist, reveal pushed back to 2025, release maybe 2027. Not trying to be a hater, I liked the previous DA games so I'll check this one out, but they're not being very convincing. (Ok, I guess if you're really a pessimist you'll say it'll never come out.)

Announcements of announcements. Desperate to tell they're still working on the game.

Looks like Diablo4 is free to play on Steam until the 28th. It's with the same limitations as the public beta was, so if you didn't play that you can give it a try.

No. Once you've logged in it doesn't pop-up on every launch though.

Didn't they already hint at a new mass effect some years ago? Probably just that.

RIP Zero punctuation
