I’m keeping an open mind, but it’s going to take a loooooot of positive word of mouth to get me to even think about picking DA up again.

Did you not like DAI? I liked DAI (and worked on it some), but that was a much different BioWare. I was lucky to not work for BioWare when they shit canned the whole Austin office and sold Star Wars: The Old Republic to Broadsword. I heard a loud of BioWare people also left, but what are you doing to do in the shit hole that Edmonton is? Not many options I’ve heard.
As someone who has worked directly with that team I’m hopeful but also hoping it’s not another dumpster fire like Anthem was. I could go on forever about that project.

I loved Inquisition’s story, acting, and art. The moment to moment gameplay, exploration, and combat didn’t click with me though, and I found it a challenge to finish. The thought of slogging through area after area kind of makes my heart sink. But I appreciate the hard work that goes into game creation, no shade on the team.

Lol you can have shade. Nobody is perfect, for example: do you know what a Gold Master is? It’s the final copy of the game that is written on the disk. It’s also the reason why when you buy a game, the patch is gigantic. It’s out of date, really really important, and has to be certified by both Microsoft and Sony.
The dragon age team, for DAI, built this super important build on a QAs desktop. Why might this be bad you ask? Because it’s an uncontrolled system that’s not clean and is connected to the Internet. Thank God they didn’t have a virus or malware, because it could’ve been written to millions of disks. Lol
It’s the same reason why, initially, the first Star Wars: The Old Republic launcher installed in a user folder named “hedev”. Users were like who the fuck is hedev? Lol that was a coding bug and less of a build mistake but still. The details matter.
