BexGu posted:I have never played any of the Dragon Age series, is that good or bad? I really have no idea. Looks like big open world maps that you ride/drive with multiple points of interest with each map/planet having their own smaller narratives that fit into the larger narrative and lore. Inquisition filled most of these maps with way too many loving little tiny quests instead of one or two really big involved ones. And annoying crafting materials scattered about (crafting is in MEA now, I hope it's better). Wide open encounters with enemies milling about is the norm. Of course, the combat mechanics themselves are totally different.

Like, there's a good chance this will be a fun game, but there's also a good chance it will be a loving turd. Just wait and see. Honestly the environments looked cool and the powers look neat so that's good. I'll agree with the dude above about not likening the idea of these populated hub areas, it looks like they just want to make this a regular ME universe or something. Weird.

My favorite part of DAI was me, the loving Herald of Andraste and a tiny little elf lady could gather 50 silverite in about 10 minutes but if I sent out a dedicated crew of miners guarded by my soldiers they'd bring back 6 loving tier 2 bloodstone and take more time to do it.

Also, as much as I dig the concept of going to a new and unexplored galaxy, it's pretty loving dumb that you're going to hub worlds that seem to be heavily populated by the milky way species. Wouldn't it make more sense if they were kind of sparse yes, we saw one outpost in like 5 minutes of gameplay in a trailer, so that means they're basically everywhere

I'm gonna have to either upgrade my PC or pick up a new console to play this, at least on PC you can wait a bit and just give yourself materials for bad crafting grinds. I might feel differently if crafting was tightly integrated with encounters to maintain the difficulty curve of the game but that tends not to go with open world crafting. hampig fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Dec 2, 2016 |

Weird that the one mission they decided to show in the trailer was confronting an ex-alliance guy. If they want to sell this whole thing as being in a completely new galaxy and a whole new experience and stuff it's sorta strange to show that. Combat looks fun though.

I'm digging the increased mobility you have during combat and the game looks pretty. That's about all I can say, I don't like anything else I see cause it reminds me too much of DA:I in the worst possible ways.

The Hinterlands sucked and were full of a ton of boring quests and locations while the Hissing Wastes were huge and spread out but actually owned because they had some cool quests and puzzles and lore dumps based on a central theme.

Like, I get what they were trying to do with the Hinterlands, showing total chaos in the middle of a war zone that had degenerated into scrapping once the main powers bugged out, but it just fell flat. They either needed to up the scale of the chaos or spread it out a bit and give some better stories to tie everything together in the zone.

The arc you're on probably comes out of hibernation after the other ones and there are temporary settlements/organizations already set up. Or maybe they've had a few hundred years on you and weren't able to visit many planets to find a good one for civilization due to critical supplies being on your arc.

Oh jesus CHrist. You're a "Pathfinder" now. The Inquisitor in DAInq.  How does an entire subgalaxy of established societies of humans turians etcetera already exist when your ships are the first ones out there? I don't get it. Also, holy poo poo the facial animations look TERRIBLE. Sister Ryder's weird munchy lips when she's talking to the gang lady-boss where she disarms the turian is AWFUL. She looks like a cow chewing on grass. There is ZERO emotion in those faces. Drifter fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Dec 2, 2016 |

I'm guessing your ship stayed in hibernation for an extra 10 years or some poo poo so they can seed all the planets with existing assets.

A Buff Gay Dude posted:1-800-A-Buff-Gay-Dude's "Lock of the Week": Yeah you're right, you're really all about giving the game a shot and not dismissing it out of hand.

My prediction is that the game is gonna suck, but there's enough of a chance for them to recover that I'm paying attention. I want ME to be good again. Also upon further review the female pathfinder looks a bit too young and cheery imho

It's more that if they want to distance this from Shepherd's story and have a completely new universe and story and everything, it feels like having the mission shown in the first gameplay trailer be "confront ex-alliance person" just contradicts that vision. Like, i'm cool with such a mission being in the game, but it being the thing they showed is weird.

The Nexus, a Citadel-like Arc housing a lot more people than the 4 arcs for the Humans, Turians, Salarians, and Asari, went ahead of the other Arcs.

Yeah pretty much. It just seemed a bit lame to go straight back into the old stuff that was in the previous games when they've been trying to distance themselves from them a bit. Anyways, I'm going to go preorder right now and theres nothing you nerds can do to stop me.

I'm down with some pre-existing Milky Way settlements for the sake of variety.

The combat looks pretty dang neat. If this is DAInq but in space with less lovely fetch quests and pointless follow the path exploration which leads to yet another "enemy base" then I'm gonna be sorta down for it.
