What Dragon Age 3 Needs

Now that it is nearly time for us to begin hearing about Dragon Age 3, I have compiled a list of things that I wish to see in this next game. Whether it be the final game or just another step in the road, that remains to be seen. To be honest, depending on what happens I can’t really see Dragon Age 3 being the finale.

another humiliation incoming?

NYC_Gamer5173d ago

Bioware can't produce quality rpgs anymore.

Captain Qwark 95173d ago (Edited 5173d ago )

they just did, ME3 is one of the best ive ever played. granted DA2 sucked, all they need to do is go back to a more traditional bioware format and add to that = win.

@poke

i got that, thats why in my first sentence i said "they just did ME3 is one of the best ive ever played" bioware just made mass effect 3 and if he doesnt think thats a quality rpg then i want to know what hes playing becuase they must be insanely good

Pokemon_Master5173d ago

@quark

I think the insinuation was ME 3 wasnt a good rpg.

ATi_Elite5173d ago

........to be more like The Witcher 2 or better!

(seriously doubt the better part)

Canary5173d ago

...If you're going to compare it to a Witcher game, compare it to the first. Combat may not have been as good as 2, but it was a far superior roleplaying game. (Better narrative, lots more content, better pacing and environments, more enemy types, etc., etc.)

ziggurcat5173d ago

what DA3 needs is to *not* be released on PS3 because bioware can't code their way out of a paper bag on that system.

Pintheshadows5173d ago

Make it more expansive than 2 for a start. Kirkwall was ok to begin with but got old fast.

Don't copy and paste dungeons.

Let us choose our race again and give us the unique beginnings back.

More Grey Wardens.

Take some visual pointers from The Witcher or even that other sci-fi game YOU make. DA2 visuals were embarassing considering its enclosed nature.

Ask BigHuge for help with combat as that KoA style is evidently what Bioware wanted in 2 and failed miserably at.

Don't let your writers handle subjects they are not equipped to to deal with. Ie, homosexuality. Maybe let the Mass Effect writers deal with that.

NO MORE ANDERS. God, I hate him.

Cennus5173d ago

I agree about Anders. So much.

maniacmayhem5173d ago

I completely agree with all of your points.

Also I would like to add costume customization for all party members not just your main character.

kma2k5173d ago

I agree with much of the article. My biggest put off was the walled off sections of the maps. I was so anoyed at this that it really soured my view of the game. I would also like to add i really was not happy with not being able to change my teams armor which is the same in ME3 i want to be able to control all that. Make the game more open & actually take your time & i will love a DA3!

Dragon Age Lead Says Including World State Reactivity Felt Like It Was "Irrelevant Or Not Enough"

Dragon Age 2 set the precedent that the series would always carry our choices over, but was it worth it?

If the choices won't matter, why bother? Bioware works so hard at giving meaningful choices but rarely if ever carrying out the impact of such choices to the end.

EA Made Dragon Age and Mass Effect DLC Free On PC By Retiring The BioWare Points System

Immersed Gamer writes: "In order to replace the oppressive BioWare Points system, EA is making a large portion of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age DLC catalogs free for PC users.

For those of you blissfully unaware, EA and BioWare employed a payment system called BioWare Points on PC to pay for DLCs for titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. While PC gamers have been struggling with BioWare point’s unfair conversion rates and extremely scarce and cost-detrimental sales.

Console players have been allowed to purchase content in pieces through the appropriate Sony and Microsoft shops. For real money, and not BioWare monopoly bucks. In turn, console players missed out on some DLC content, such as Mass Effect 2 pre-order bonuses that have been repackaged into a DLC pack."

Great response to Ubisoft and their disgusting behavior. Ubisoft decide to take away DLC from people who paid for it, while EA give it for free to everyone when they realize their system sucks. Who would have thought that EA of all companies would be showing Ubisoft how it should be done (even if this is EA fixing their own mistakes as well).

Mobis-New-Nest1399d ago

What goes around comes around and I promise you, Ubisoft will see their actions blow back on them when their diminishing sales numbers and stock taking a hit downward. That's the only way a company learns when they decide to be reactive instead of proactive.

All BioWare Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "There was a time that BioWare games were the biggest deal in gaming. The Canadian developer’s legacy of all-time classics is well known. Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, and Baldur’s Gate are some of the biggest names in gaming.

While BioWare’s quality has fallen off lately, there’s no denying the quality of titles in their portfolio. That’s why we’re going to dive in and rank every BioWare game from worst to best. By every, I do mean every BioWare game, even the ones you completely forgot about!"

Ranked from worse to even more worse more like, they been on free fall for a fair few years now and I personally don't think any of there earlier games have aged well

autobotdan1558d ago

Wow to think at one point in their history they made a Sonic the Hedgehog game..crazy

chicken_in_the_corn1558d ago

Anthem is crazy underrated. I really enjoyed it. ME1 is Bioware's best imo

I actually put quite a bit of hours into Anthem but i dont think its underrated. It was a huge mess, server issues, gameplay issues, crashes, no endgame loop, too few different enemies, uninteresting gear. too few dungeons.

It for sure had potential and if they could have managed to keep the same gameplay of the classes but without the rest of the issues, this game could have been huge, but in the state in which it launched it was such a letdown. They partly fixed some of the issues, but it took too long. A grinding game like this needs to hook players from day 1.
