Dragon Age III / The Witcher 3 trailers. Impressions?

[Drowsy Emperor]

 

If Morrigan was some sort of compelling character, rather than a dull two-dimensional biyatch, then I might understand why she might feature in more games.

 

And before someone posts 'Haters Gonna Hate' I actually liked the gay elf assassin dude and Sten in DA:O.

I actually agree with you re Morrigan, never found the character particularly exciting. Of course, at this stage there are few elements in DAO that do excite me, so...

 

 

So you're going to buy only three copies?

[HoonDing]

After ugly elves Dragon Age, at last, have gypsy transsexuals

Can't they just scan Claudia Black into the game.

[Labadal]

Who cares what we think? We'll all buy and then complain about them.

[Monte Carlo]

Nope. Didn't buy any Bioware game between BG2 then NWN1. Then I bought NWN2 and nothing inbetween until DA:O. No ME, no DA2.

If you read what I wrote, I'm talking of Origins, so any buying of that is in the past. If you thought I was referring to DA3, the game's over a year away. I could be knee deep in diapers by then for all I know.

You are quiting law and starting a diaper import/export business?

But what will we talk about until then

There will be Kickstarter games out. That should be enough drama for an entire decade.

There are lots of things to complain about.

[Tigranes]

I'll buy DA3 if they convince me it's nothing like the last 3 or 4 games they put out.

Yeah, like Scandinavians!

[Cultist]

Nope. I've had enough of bioware failures.

[Spider]

If they return the camera as it was in DA:O I might consider getting DA3. Otherwise it just reinforces my belief that this series (and Bioware as a whole I suppose) is moving in a direction I have no interest in pursuing.

[alanschu]

After numerous false starts and complaints, I trudged through DA2 last year.  I enjoy the universe, but I almost gave it up after DA2.  Since alanschu has guaranteed it will be better, I'll be picking up DA3.  If it's bad I'll drive north and toilet paper his house.

 

I've never got around to finishing The Witcher, so I will probably wait on TW3.  I have no idea why it doesn't keep my interest, I've played to act 2 twice and then stopped.

 

I voted they will both suck because this thread was entirely too positive

 

Hah!  The funny thing is that Deraldin doesn't know how to use the forum software in order to verify my guarantee!

[ShadySands]

I know I will end up getting both (probably even preorder) even though I could barely finish DA2 (loved DAO) and never got more than a couple hours into TW2 (was the same for TW1) before putting it down and never going back to it.

 

Looking forward to DA3 more than TW3 though but if they can't turn things around by DA 5 or 6 then I'm outta here... unless DA7 gets really good reviews

[Nonek]

I'll probably buy DA3 if it garners enough good reviews from trusted sources (not "professional game journalists",) unless it's Origins only in which case i'll do as the song says and walk on by.

Nonek do you consider me a trusted source? I'll happily review DA3 for you. I am confident that it will provide a worthwhile RPG experience

"I put greater trust in CD Projekt than in Bioware, just because they haven't screwed up with their last two titles."

 

CDP always screw up. They make the same game repeatedly and they are both crap. They screwed up so bad they nearly went out of business.

 

 

"I think that those at bioware know that thay can't screw up anymore if they want to survive as a company."

 

BIO isn't a company. They are a division.

 

Still, BIO at its worse (KOTOR and Sonic) are vastly sueprior than CDP at its best (Twitcher).

 

 

ITS TRUE. ITS DAMN TRUE.

 

p.s. "Soo, Varric, Cassandra and Morrigan. Dragon could also be an Archdemon?"

 

I have a funy feeling that is a certain DA2 protaganist's dead body that marric is standing over.. That makes me sad.

 

 

p.s..s. It's dumb that you cna't be allowed to play a dwarf in DA3.

 

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Volo

So basically you are saying that CDP is a better company than Bioware? Do you really believe that...why do you think that? Are you sure you mean that. I suppose it may be true but are you sure that's what you mean. Think about it for while? Bioware has released more games so I would say they are more experienced at delivering RPG?

That was the impression I got as well but I also think that the figure in the standstorm has Hawke's silhouet. Even if it is that doesn't mean those scenes are in sequence but it's something to cling to.

And the Warden has gone to the deep roads to die.

Yeah, it would be up to current Bioware standards for "we will explore Hawke's story" (or whatever it was they promised when they canceled the expansion) to actually mean that he shows up in a body bag in a trailer.

 

 

Found your Morrigan have you?

 

 

I'm more of a Viconia kind of guy when it comes to evil bitches, but the point was that anything that is over 9 months away is always subject to potential huge changes, on both sides of the screen.

[Gorth]

I didn't mind Morrigan. As long as Fenris stays dead, I probably don't care (otherwise sticking my sword in his ribcage would have been a wasted effort).

 

Wouldn't mind seeing Varric, Zevran and possibly Isabella again. Need to get closer to release date though before my interest really picks up.
