Barothmuk Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 That's what I meant. New characters are stuck with their default name as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryy Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Can we not edit our character's names? We're apparently able to redo Hawke (due to the new engine) in chargen. As for DA3 character names... it's implied that feature is coming. Also: Origin pre-load is on the 14th! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humanoid Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'll give it a go, and as it'll technically mean that DAK is my first run through DA2, I get to experience all its good points and none of the bad.

Katphood Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) I am looking forward to this. It looks pretty and it has a huge world for you to explore. Mix that with Bioware's storytelling and you have yourself a deal. Edited October 30, 2014 by Cat Food There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

How much of it have you played, that you can state with certainty that the game world is huge and explorable?

Serrano Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) It's supposed to import the character's appearance too but there are still some teething problems. I like the program though, a checkbox would be quicker but it's nice to see all the artwork and get a reminder of what happened in the previous games.

Katphood Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 What, like the storytelling in Dragon Age II? It was ok. Or the storytelling in Mass Effect 3? The ending was bad but the rest was ok, certainly not great but still entertainting. How much of it have you played, that you can state with certainty that the game world is huge and explorable?

IndiraLightfoot Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Here's an interesting little read from EuroGamer: By Robert Purchese Published 10/10/2014 (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-10-10-solo-dragon-age-inquisition-has-200-hours-of-content): "Finishing everything - literally completing - Dragon Age: Inquisition will take between 150 to 200 hours, BioWare reckons. The main story, however, will take 20 to 40. That's what producer Cameron Lee told Polygon. "We're just making more. More and more and more," he said. "And it's all entirely up to the player. It's your world, your game." "Dragon Age games have never been small, although DA2 was far more constrained that Origins. But DAI offers an open-world and more freedom of choice in how you want to navigate and influence it. The same is true of The Witcher series and next year's new instalment, The Witcher 3. That game also boasts a huge open-world and freedom of exploration, with a 50-hour main quest and 50 hours of side-quests." "Role-playing games have never been short, BioWare's vintage catalogue included. But more recently, a focus on a cinematic presentation - and a focus on a console audience - has clipped their lengths. Until Skyrim, that is." "Staggeringly, Bethesda's technically-infinite open-world fantasy adventure has sold more than 20m copies worldwide - a figure mentioned by Bethesda earlier this year. To put that into perspective, The Witcher series (all games combined) has sold 6m copies (accurate as of autumn last year), Dragon Age: Origins has sold more than 3.2m copies and Dragon Age 2 more than 2m. Those are official and old Dragon Age numbers; DAO could be close to 5m." My comments: So, the DA:I game is huge. When I played through Skyrim in my thorough first playthrough, it took like 110 hours altogether, but the main story was just like 10-15 hours (perhaps less). I remember Bioware congratulating Bethesda on Skyrim and that they wanted to make something that open too, and of the same kind of humongous scope. Let's hope DA:I will be a much better CRPG, and if so, that they will sell millions and millions.

Volourn Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 "they will sell millions and millions." It'll sell between 3-5 mil. 2 mil if it 'bombs' and no more 6mil if they are very very 'lucky'. BIO just doesn't have the audience to sell Skyrim numbers no matter how much they try to and it has nothing to do with quality (since ES sucks). 1 DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Skyrim's sales have a lot to do with it's engine which is not the best, but still very modular. I doubt that Frostbite 3 will be anything similar to Gamebryo 1.5 the Creation Engine.

How much of it have you played, that you can state with certainty that the game world is huge and explorable? I agree, Bioware took a huge dip in quality. DA2, TOR, and ME3 were all disasters that looked semi promising and got good reviews from critics. http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/star-wars-the-old-republic http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/dragon-age-ii http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/mass-effect-3 I would stay away from DA:I until a month or two after it's release, then check it out.
