seems like you're the only person in the thread with this opinion.

people were mad about ME3 because they bought into a story with no payoff.

I don't think people even got mad about DA because the first game was just Faerun with the serial numbers filed off. Origins and its addon were timewasters that got the job done, but it didn't really seem like anyone was attached enough to get angry about the falloff in quality, just laugh about it.

Hell, DA2 had a playable demo so you could immediately tell it was going to be shit. They learned not to do that again.

After Mass Effect: Andromeda, I don't trust BioWare not to completely mangle the next Dragon Age game. Inquisition's storyline was a pretty awful mixture of fedoratheism, third-wave feminism and Tumblr literal faggotry. They totally screwed up the lore with their pandering:

>Suddenly the hyper-traditional Qunari have gender equality and allow trannies

>Ferelden now has niggers for some reason

>Dragons and demons and magic and the Fade, that shit's all real, but LE MAKER DOESN'T REAL EX DEE (that would offend Muslims)

I can't even raise the boy I had with Morrigan.

The events from the first two games barely change anything, aside from which cameos you see. I liked the combat system, that's about it though. They've already proven they're happy to ignore and retcon their own lore and just do whatever the hell they want to promote whatever "oppressed" minority the special snowflake libshits at the company want to shill for that year. Since Andromeda was so roundly mocked for adding imaginary pronouns to the Asari, and this is BioWare, I expect them to learn nothing, double or triple down, and push tranny/pronoun shit even harder in the next Dragon Age… assuming Anthem doesn't fail so hard that EA has them euthanized first.

Let it die, it and Mass Effect are too far gone to salvage. The only way to “fix” Drag Age is to fix Bioware, and the only way to do that is to cut it loose from Electronic Ass, fire everyone hired after Mass Effect 1/ Origins as in actually toss them on a fire, hire people who value gameplay and consistency over personal politics. So essentially, perform these three Herculean tasks and we might get a good Dragon Age game. Probably not because most of the lore was pozzed to all hell so we’d need a hard reset just to fix Cisquisition’s fuck ups alone, not to mention DA2.

That isn't even all.

They are just adding shit that breaks lore further and further and they have no idea of what they are going anymore.

They revealed that lyrium is sentient and red lyrium is due to being infected with the blight. Nevermind that the fucking red lyrium we discovered in Dragon Age 2 was in a cave so ancient that it predated the Darkspawn's first appearance. Then if you play Inquisition's DLC, you find out that lyrium is actually blood from the Titans, creatures that live underground and are pretty much sentient caves and have no connection with anything else thus far like Old Gods or the Elven Gods.

Bioware is pissing all over directions and they have no idea of what they are doing anymore. They have set up Solas as the new over-aching antagonist of the setting who will unleash the corrupt Elven Gods upon Thedas, making the original Darkspawn and Archdemons completely and totally irrelevant. And DA2 had set up a civil war between Templars and Mages that gets absolutely no resolution in Inquisition, you just chose one side in the first act, the other one becomes minions of Corypheus and it all bleeds into the game's main conflict against him. Also, nice job Bioware in recycling the main villain from one of your DLC expansions rather than coming up with something new. Really bold indeed.

The Hepler incident to me sounds like a kink or change in their plans occurred and one of their agents chimped out over it, considering how the media reaction wasn't nearly as coordinated as the Anita shit or gamergate. If I had to guess, they were cashing out of Bioware because they either saw the ME3 ending coming or they were focusing instead on subverting indie games, since by the point Bioware was totally subverted and there was pretty much no point in continuing to fuck with them.

Maybe on the gameplay side things were a bit more RPG-ish, but the lore itself was always and forever arse. Half of you guys here are nostalgia driven.

How can you defend a studio that bad ? Getting sold to EA doesn't mean it wasn't cancerous from the start.

Dragon Age Elves had the great city Arlathan(Jerusalem/Temple) which was the capital of the elvish empire of Elvhenan(Israel), which got destroyed by the Tevinter Imperium(Roman Empire).

They tried to rebuild their Nation in Dales, but the evil Chantry(Church) send a Exalted March(Crusade) to destroy it.

It is this destruction that caused the Elves turning into Nomads and Slumrats.

Additionally Elves call humans "shemlen" and give them the fault for aging and not being super magical Immortals anymore.

>implying BG was any good

BG is a shitty knock-off of 2E D&D, which is itself a shitty knock-off of earlier, better versions of D&D. Combat in D&D is complete shit unless you can throw shit, climb walls, and all of that other crap that your DM improvs on the fly while rolling his eyes. Strip that away, it's shit. The magic system? An absolute travesty. The only people who praise BG are people who've never played a TTRPG or haven't played the game.

As a video game, DA:O is a step-up. Hell, even the story is a step-up; Bioware dialogue was just as shit then as it is now, except at the time, it was riding on the coat-tails of what is quite literally the worst campaign setting in D&D, and fags gobbled it up.

my personal opinion is that dao was fun. i actually got a few really good playthroughs out of it.

i remember i was going to get 2, but the relentless shilling on /v/ at the time made the contrarian in me not buy it. and when i saw how bad they fucked it up, i was very happy with that decision.

i honestly dont remember inquisition coming out at all. i think i was getting really heavy into /pol/ at the time, so i was hardly playing any games at that point.

for me, the romances were always the cringiest shit in bioware games, so i used to avoid them. i can honestly say that if the combat in DA2 was an improved version of DA:O, i would have gotten it even if the main character was a trans demi-dragon otherfuck. the combat (in origins) reminded me a lot of what baldurs gate might have been if it didnt cling to the (imo) shitty archaic 2e magic rules where you have to rest every other battle.

>>14305430

they were all right. in terms of crpgs, i always found planescape to be the best story, arcanum for coolest world, and icewind dale for best combat. BG was just the one that got me started on them, so i have a soft spot for it.

They COULD have gone this direction since the ending of Trespasser establishes Solas as the new main villain and that the elven pantheon (who aren't real gods, they are just immortal sorcerers venerated as deities) are pure fucking evil and locked up in the Fade, which Solas intends to release to grant immortality back to his people.

But considering that the fourth game is going to take place in the Tevinter Imperium I expect them to ditch this shit entirely for the lazy Trump analogies about a charismatic Archon trying to make a decaying empire "great again". They already did this shit by ignoring the Mage-Templar War for the bland new story in Inquisition.

Makes no difference, considering that this is what happened to the real Israelites too. During antiquity Israel was always a puppet state, colony or province of some other superpower in the Mediterranean world.

Usually they had a good live and adopted the more advanced culture of their conquerors, until the religious fanatics that didn't want to adopt started to kill the Israelites that tried to become civilized and at that point the superpower that was ruling over them usually came and pushed the religious fanatics shit in to reestablish order.

You are mixing some stuff.

Adolf Hitler was a half orphan and lived in poverty in Vienna during his teenage years and tried to make a living as a painter, but because the jews were controlling the art establishment he didn't sell much.

He was eighteen when the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna rejected him twice, because his painting for the entrance exam contained “too few heads” and one guy believed he would be a better architect. His mother died in the same year, making him a full Orphan.

In 1913 he obtained the last part of his deceased fathers estate, which allowed him to finally leave Vienna and move to Munich.

I think it's the fact that the land is bountiful that makes the "civilisation" that lives therein so lazy and weak. They don't have to work for their food, or to survive. Northern Europeans fought fierce winters, frequently starved for lack of crops or one bad harvest, were tormented by bears and wolves even then, and basically had to invent all this shit just to survive.

It's not a foolproof hypothesis however.

Got the third for dirt cheap on PS4 during a sale. They made the big bad some dude from Dragon Age 2. Was a darkspawn, one of the original darkspawn. He wanted to go back to the black city and occupy the empty throne, because he saw it once and it was empty and he thought fuck it, this world needs a god so I'll be that god. Thought it was pretty badass. The gameplay isn't all that great, its mostly doing the same shit over and over again in fuckhuge maps. Some of the characters are annoying like the orc faced lesbo. She has some funny moments but its mostly annoying. Don't particularly like my female party memebers, Cassandra is alright, everyone else is a cunt. Diplomat lady seems nice I guess. I keep getting options to flirt with a cute dwarf scout but I doubt they added any romance to that character, shame too, she's the only one I like so far. Tons of dudes want to bang though so if you like dudes you're in for a good time.

I don't know where they're gonna go with the story, I'm at a part where the big bad is making the grey wardens summon an army of demons so they can march down to the deep roads and kill the old gods to prevent one becoming an archdemon effectively ending the blight once and for all but then there's an army of demons so I guess thats better than a blight? Only reason the grey wardens are doing this is because they hear what they call the calling which means they'll succumb to the darkspawn blood they drank and when that happens they usually go off into the deeproads alone to die fighting. Problem is they're all hearing it so they're scared and don't want to leave the world undefended from the blight.

True, but after a few generations of selective breeding between tamed Zebras, you would get domesticated nu-Zebras.

There was an experiment in the 60's I think, where they took wild wolves, kept them in cages, fed them and basically tried to domesticate them. It took 6 generations(also consider that dogs and perhaps even wolves can breed after about one year, maybe 2), for the cups to resemble dogs, more than they resemble wolves(smaller fangs, cuter snout, more attached and friendly towards humans). There's also this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_red_fox and perhaps this is what I was remembering, only that I thought it was about wolves.

None of them are ever sexualized (while Iron Bull and Dorian certainly are) like Morrigan or Isabella, none of them are old (Solas and Blackwall) like Wynne was and none of them had dark pasts (Dorian, Iron Bull, Solas, Cole) like Leliana, Merril and Isabela. Say what you will about characters from previous games, but even DA 2 at its worse had a better cast than Inquisition.

That was such a tease… I wouldn't have minded romancing a female dwarf because she looked so cute, but David Gaider wouldn't have it because it reminded him of pedophilia.

Here it is. If you look it up, he backpedalled on this statement due to how retarded it made him look and now claims he was "joking".
