I'm looking forward to being able to judge this game freely, without having the nagging feeling that I'm going to buy it anyway since the pickings are so slim for party-based WRPGs.
The bolded probably describes really well what Bioware is trying to build.

As much as I wanted to hate DA2, I still like DA!
Bring it!

Dragon Age 2 was a travesty in every single fucking category. Not 1 thing was redeemable. It really is a truly terrible fucking game and one of the worst "sequels" I have ever played. I don't want to even call it a sequel because DA1, the masterpiece, would be shamed by even being associated with it.
Bioware should call the next game Dragon Age 2, then when people ask "What about the original Dragon Age 2?", Bioware would look all confused and not understand the question. That way DA2 can be wiped from this Earth.
The person who came up with Dragon Age 2 should be embarrassed and ashamed. Ashamed that that person made people work on garbage.
Sorry for the rant. DA1 was just so perfect in every singe way. DA2 just crushed everything. The thing is that Bioware CAN do good sequels. That is the sad part about all of this. They have that capability. I just don't know where it all went wrong.

I couldn't finish DA2, still sometimes want to go back to see what was it like really, story and everything. Combat was bad I just lost interest after 5-6 hours, everything was pretty repetitive. I can't really sit behind the desk and play long ass RPGs with k/m anymore, too old for that, no controller support also further killed my interest, key mapping apps never really work like native support, I'm not sure why Bioware shows so much resistance in adding pad support to their games when everything has them now and it's been like that for years. Console version looked so ugly, never even considered getting that instead, not saying PC ver. was a beauty... with hires texture pack it looked alright somewhat.
I'm still interested in this very much, specially want to see how a frostbite game that's not a modern military thing looks like, just hoping the story has nothing to do with 2 at all, would be for the best.

This is pretty accurate.
DA 2 has some redeemable features and some downright refreshing aspects to it at times, but you have to trudge through horrible and half-baked features to get there. Its a volatile mix. I've played worse RPGs for sure, but one that stands out as leaps and bounds better was DA:O.
This. OH GOD, THIS!
Please be excited.
I can guarantee you that there will be a shy, nerdy "space virgin". That's a standard in Bioware games.

I hope they don't decide to make the next one "cute" by giving her the mental capacity of a six year old. Merrill was terrible.
Frostbite 3. Should look delicious
It just has to play like the first Dragon Age and I'll be happy. I played on console and I still liked it.

DA2 was atrocious, especially the bland repeated environments, wave combat and ridiculous. plot
But I have still some hope left for them because I liked ME3.

Well, he's doing trailers for both the BioWare and EA Games labels:
"Editor, Cinematographer, and Motion Graphic Artist. Working on BioWare and Games Label, divs. of EA. This account is personal and does not reflect EA."
Victory is separate from BioWare these days, so I suspect EA is just contracting him to work on trailers for four of their core games (which is what those two labels basically represent).

I have a hard time believing that people actually believe this.
DA1 was a very flawed game. So was DA2, but I just feel that people viewed DA1 so highly because BioWare made Baldur's Gate 2 and because EA.

No, it wasn't. It was barely a step in the right direction; still, the ten-years-older BG2 puts it in shame in pretty much every single aspect of its design.

Yeah. Ready to see it. First one was awesome, second one was terribly mediocre. Hopefully they can get it back on track.
Not a chance.
First of all, the combat, classes, and skills were beyond broken. Even if you were not trying to abuse the easily abused systems, the combat became largely a checklist of do A,B,C,D and repeat. For a tactical RPG that is a bad thing.
Do not even get me started on the enemy variety though. Who in their right mind though that a game lasting longer than 5 hours could get by on such piss poor variety. Every fight was either the Darkspawn things or some random wildlife. As if the combat being boring was not bad enough, you had to fight the same 10 things for however long you managed to put up with the game.
To me the game was nothing but some nice wrapping paper covering an empty box.

What's worse is that enemy variety was even poorer than appearances suggested.
You had... What? A dozen of different enemies? And yet you could fight all of them using the same tactics.
Enemies were different just in terms of 3D models and basic stats.
Special resistances and vulnerabilities? Unique powers? Immunity? Nope.
I mean, it was a fantasy game where you could fight undead skeletons with arrows and "fear" spells.

Didn't really like DA1 or DA2. The battle system just wasn't for me. But I might dip in again for DA3.

I have never played Baulders Gate. I barely even know what that is.
Anyways, believe it. That game was extremely addicting, I loved everything about that game, and I played it on the Xbox, apparently the superior version is on the PC which I plan on replaying for the third time.
Yeah, there are some flaws. But for me they are so minor that they dont detract from the game at all.

I understand no part of this. I think DA2 amounted to little more than a side plot and the character dialogue was awful. One of the characters literally says, "I like big boats, no I cannot lie," and then attempts to murder you. Yes, that is a Sir Mix-a-lot reference thrown into your serious moment of betrayal. That, and the combat was dumbed down to the point of being nearly an MMO.
However, I respect your right to see things differently. I just hope no one was listening to you.
Frostbite 3. Should look delicious
But will gameplay be delicious or balls nasty? This is what I want to know.

In my dream, this is a game about my character from DA1 on a quest to find Morrigan.
Also, DA2 never happened.
It's a good dream.

This too. Even the boss encounters played out the same way as a normal fight, you just had less enemies to worry about and maybe had to micromanage your heals a bit more.
Thinking about the game just reminds me of even more things I disliked about it.
Anything remotely interesting about the world was all bits of dialog about OTHER places in the world you never see. If you have ever read a fantasy novel or two everything in the game feels like a stale retread that was executed somewhere else with better results.

Guess it's confirmed now. Sadly though I'm anticipating another misleading CG trailer.
lol... I enjoyed Dragon Age 2. It's lonely on this side of the fence

After Fallout 3, Fallout is dead to me.
Even deader than Dragon Age.

If its more like Origins, I'm on board, if it is like II, I'm going to steer clear. I'd like to hope bioware listened to all the feedback.
Yes she is and she is awesome.
The show is Aku no Hana and it is the best current anime.
Watch it everyone.
The Witcher 3 vs Fallout 4, if anything. Bioware still has to catch up.
With that said, I'll cautiously look forward to the changes implemented in Dragon Age 3.
This.
