New Dragon Age 3 Details And Concept Art
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Probably multiplayer missions that give bonuses to the main game. You and friend play as low level servants of the main character. Knights figiting darkspawn, rogues stealing a heavily guarded treasure, etc.

Eh after what happen with the last few bioware games..I want to say I am not interested..but somehow and some reason I will prob end up getting DA3..
I don't think ME2 is a bad game, but it also made me completely uninterested in playing ME3.
I thought ME2 was a shooter with a decent story and dating sim (though the story really amounted to 'here, recruit these 9 people and then we'll given you 30 minutes of actual plot relevant details that advance the franchise further).
DA2 was a hack-and-slash with heavy RPG elements. The story was something different and I loved the fact that it was so disjointed.
Neither of the games was amazing.
Also Hawke>Shephard (talking male version of both protags here)

I don't think that's a fair comparison, even if you can call Mass Effect 2 and 3 bad games with a straight face, which I personally couldn't, they're not even near as bad as DA2 was.
DA2 is an actual bad game, with base design flaws and obvious rushed aspects that show everywhere along with an even more horrible streamlining that ME2 ever had.
This means nothing. They were saying a lot of things up until they showed DA2 for the first time.
As it stands the game technically has zero confirmed platforms.

They could do it like Saints Row and allow you to have different voices.
Saint's Row doesn't have near as much Dialogue though.

Any info on this gif? What would piss off milla jobosdjifosdfvich so much?

Human again makes me pout. But that's minor.
Oh okay, thanks for answering! Having no confirmed platforms is pretty suspicious though. It's been 5 months since it's been announced.

Looks like the concept art they showed at the panel:http://blog.bioware.com/2012/10/20/first-look-dragon-age-iii-inquisition-concept-art/

I'll be very curious to see how the concept art and the sense of scale they seem to be going for ends up translating into the actual game.
My hopes are raised from that concept art (still wont buy it uness it gets good reviews here, and is real cheap)
Though one of the reasons why i have more faith in the ME team than DA is that stylistically, ME has always looked fantastic. DA? 1 was dull and boring, while two was just crap. Hopefully with the new engine they can actually get close to that art though

Art 1: Looks like dalish elves on the warpath?
Art 2: Elvish ruins no doubt
Art 3: Looks to be in the Anderfels, maybe Weisshaupt Fortress? Although no grey warden flag.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I think it had something to do with her dad in jail. They asked her a question about it or something
Nice! hopefully it's similar to how NWN2 did it.

Are those two romance options?
I have a feeling that a nasty surprise is awaiting you.
It would make my day if we found out the romance options in DA3 were dramatically reduced, and the 1 or 2 that are available are made far more significant and developed
Right now, bioware's romances just feel like a pointless mini-game
Eh, so long as they actually have time to finish the game, it should be better than 2. Though thats not saying that the game will actually be good or not
I am pretty sure their are tons of people here and in general who felt the game had good ideas on paper but it was rushed, had less development time and yes their were some bad decisions which was made by Bioware but i feel that was due to less development time.
I think with proper development time, i see this game being a real nice sequel to Origins.
Don't stop believing!

Avatar of Thrones?
I think it's best for us not to get too excited, this is Bioware here. It'll probably be more like the one in Dragon Age Awakening.

Oh for shame, and after they went to all the trouble of drafting in these two ministers to discuss the new scorpion king romance options pictured...
Refocusing on the fundamentals would be a smart first move but I think they've fractured their target audience(s) too many ways to bring it back for this one, when you factor in acclimation to the new tech and the likelihood that teams have been shifted around to accomodate other projects I wouldn't hold out much hope for this. I expect Frostbite 2 will provide some much needed shininess to distract players from the underlying flaws. Looking forward to the PR and impending fallout nonetheless

I'd say BioWare in general has never designed very good levels or areas in any of their 3D era games, starting with Neverwinter Nights. At best they're inoffensive but rarely are they that great.
First is definitely the dalish in one of their caravans. The style of landships or whatever is the same as Dragon Age 2.
Second, is just some ruin- its a Grey Warden plopped in there for sure, but who knows what type of ruin.
Third could be anywhere- I thought the Anderfels was supposed to be more temperate and a totally blighted landscape...not all Skyrim looking. Maybe thats the Frostback mountains?
BioWare generally hasn't done a very good job defining what certain areas of the world are supposed to look like or why they are the way they are. I hope they at least try to make regions make sense and not just plop stuff in because it looks cool- like how all the armor in DA2 had random spikes jutting out everywhere for no apparent purpose.
Yeah, you can already see it in the first press release they had where they spent most of it trying to prop up how awesome it will be now simply because its on Frostbite 2. I don't doubt it'll look nice (and if it doesn't then they're really in trouble) but the problems that DA2 had go WAY deeper than simply slapping on some Frostbite 2 powered lens flare and calling it a day.Refocusing on the fundamentals would be a smart first move but I think they've fractured their target audience(s) too many ways to bring it back for this one, when you factor in acclimation to the new tech and the likelihood that teams have been shifted around to accomodate other projects I wouldn't hold out much hope for this.

Which most likely borrowed from NW2. I can definitely see Awakening being a sort of test bed for future castle/fort management mechanics.
Yeah Frostback is most likely it then, always assumed north = cold.

They're doing a lot of work on the Dragon Age 3 engine, and doing a lot of stuff to pump it - to make it visually super hot.

I've pretty much lost all interest in the DA setting, story and characters. I recently came across this post on SA by forum member Psyker...
Going by recent history I have to assume that all of this shit is canon and will be an integral part of the story progression for the DA franchise. No thanks.

Voiced lead just detracted from the dialogue complexity the game can have. Its not like voice affects anything important.

Hey! There was a coastal area in DA2!
At least this time they pumped the only one into the garbage in favor of Frostbite 2.
