    I will second this, each time I try to play it further I just have to stop. Not a bad game really, but it somehow disconnects me from DA so badly that I stop. I just can't quite put my finger on it all, but this trailer above does not seem to do that. I think it is the different vibe in the art and story (ok combat a bit as well).

    Indeed. it looks awesome indeed, I was starting to worry The Witcher 3 will decimate it in graphics, now I am not sure.

    Looks great, will wait for user feedback though.

    Also it has a release date; 7th of October.

    I wonder how the PS4 version will look in comparison...

    in several interviews, BioWare always mentioned the PC as the main development platform, they even say they have monster PCs in-house, indicating the very high system requirements the game will command.

    It's on EA so it's a pass for me.

    I saw perhaps a few seconds of possible gameplay there, so not really making any judgements for graphics yet. Does look nice though from the in-engine cutscenes.

    Are the expansions for DA: O worth picking up? I only had the digital deluxe on Steam (warden's keep and Shale). Re-installed the game last night with a few mods, but not in a huge hurry to start replaying just yet (I could wait for a steam sale on the Ultimate Edition).

    Shale and Warden's Keep are cool. (afaik you don't even have an item box without Warden's Keep. Ah EA, greedy bastards). The rest is pretty much pants.

    Doesn't get any more by-the-numbers than this artwork. "By the power of Grayskull. I have the power!"

    I really liked the striking red and white artworks of the older titles.
     
  13. I liked the Witch Hunt because I missed Morrigan in my digital life.

    I actually really enjoyed DA2, and of course I loved DA1 from beginning to end.
    I played them both on the 360 ( and still have those save files !!)
    hopefully they'll have some way to transfer my saves (or at least my choices)
    to the ps4.
    =/ Wouldn't want to pick this game up day 1 only to find out I won't
    be able to use my choices from the previous generation.

    They're making some program that'll let you create your backstory from the first two games. It's not ready yet though.

    don't worry, they won't matter! ;)
     
  18. Do we need both saves from DA:O and DA II?
    The DA II already asked for the DA:O save, so I wonder if they actually need both or the quest options are maintained in the latest game's save file.

    I hate carry over saves; They make me feel like I'm missing out on game content.
     
  20. It's the best way to ensure you're continuing the same story and universe you molded in the previous games.
    It gives me a feeling of accomplishment from playing the previous games, that my previous decisions mattered at least a little bit. I think that's great.
