I'm curious, is anyone here actually going to buy Inquisition new without getting a goon consensus/reliable review first? This is Bioware's first biggy since DA2 and ME3 and those didn't exactly inspire faith.

Not me, but I think we already had one goon step forward and announce that he/she would pre-order or buy the game at launch.

I'm pretty excited for DAI, but I'll probably at least read some first impressions. I'm gonna get it anyway though, just might wait a bit if it doesn't turn out to be as good as it looks!

Unless there's an astonishing preorder bonus I usually end up waiting a couple months for bug fixes and patches to come through anyway so probably nah. That said, I haven't had much reason to particularly doubt bioware myself; I think you should always do a little research on any product before you buy it after all.

I'm going straight in there a launch too. I quite enjoyed DA2, and whether or not it's good, after all this furore, I need to at least know what they made as a response.

I might, if only because I played through the other two and feel committed to seeing it through. It all depends on what the game shapes up to be close to the release window.

I'm in this boat minus playing DA2. If it looks like it's following in DA2's footsteps closer to release, I'll pass. Mostly finally having playable Qunari, along with possible racist as hell dialog options like Origins' Elf PCs, has me interested.

Yes  Even though I didnt like the ending to ME3 I still think its a great game otherwise, and for some reason I dont completely hate DA2 even though I recognize its not good.

I might get Inquisition if the Keep thing seems cool and if I can get it for like $45 on launch from GMG or something.

I won't buy. DA2: Adventure in Mud Mountain was awful and this will be too. Will this game have a goony looking protagonist you're forced to play as, too?

Yes, because I enjoyed ME3 (except for the very end like so many others) and SWTOR. DA2 was bad and a chore to slog through at times though so they had better have upped their game.

I never actually played DA2 and I'm craving some new DA after Baldur's Gate: EE and BG2:EE, so I'm actually cautiously optimistic. I'm going to wait for the first patch or two to hit before buying though, just to see what people think of it first.

Vitamin P posted:I'm curious, is anyone here actually going to buy Inquisition new without getting a goon consensus/reliable review first? I'm absolutely not fool me twice etc. Plus, it's not like I'm going to be hurting for any type of RPG this coming fall (I think pillars of eternity is supposed to be coming by the end of the year). Now if I hear a bunch of good things then sure I'll pick it up eventually but I'm not holding my breath.

After ME3 and its debacle I'm not buying anything Bioware related on launch. I believe there is a possibility that this game won't suck, but I'm not betting on it.

Dragon Age II is probably one of the most awful games I've played in a while, and I pretty much hated everything about it. Mass Effect 3 bored me to tears so I didn't even get to see the awful ending everyone was talking about. But I'll probably be getting this at or near launch because few developers are doing quite the same mix of CYOA dialogue-based roleplaying + third person ARPG combat + collecting loot + talent systems + exploration.

Haven't seen what pre-order bonuses are being offered so haven't decided if I'll pre-order, but I will definately be getting it on release. (Also I did the 'professional' VA recording over the weekend, and sent off my entry to the VA contest so wish me luck guys..)

Sarcastic rear end in a top hat Hawke is pretty great when the VA gives a poo poo. I legitimately laughed when I straight-up told a Templar dude to be on the look out for boneless women flopping around Kirkwall and he was loving appalled.

There are a few like this and its a bit poo poo they seem to be taking the joke response out. Being sarcastic at every possible opportunity when it was completely inappropriate was far more fun than the usual boring options. Its probably one of the reasons I like Alpha Protocol so much too because it was something different when choosing a dialogue option

Its probably one of the reasons I like Alpha Protocol so much too because it was something different when choosing a dialogue option I thought they just renamed it the "clever" response. Hopefully characters will treat you with contempt and disgust whenever you try to be "clever" just like with DA2 and AP.

^ Warpaint, likely. Or a bloody smear from a vanquished foe that was trying to hit you one last time in futility. Or Hawke's really bad at cleaning up after a poop.Leelee posted:Dragon Age Keep betas were sent out today: Aaaaaaand the website to signup is basically 100% broken. EA must actively search for the worst servers possible to host everything they have. Any game, any website, if it has EA written on it, you can guarantee it will die the moment something worthwhile updates on it.

Serious post: If you are still having server issues for the keep, let me know. We had an issue with it, tied to old beta invites not showing as logged, but that should be fixed. Beyond that, if you're encountering errors with the site, we'd obviously like them fixed. /working with the DA Keep team KoB: Your old beta application is still logged- that bug is fixed now, although you might have to clear your browser cache.

I'm still not clear why they won't import the saves from the previous games. For consoles I can understand they don't want to have to migrate from old-gen to next-gen

Under the hood, the Keep has a logic validator which ensures you’ll always have a valid world state free from errors and conflicts.
