Dragon Age 3

[Amari24]

We're getting our first real news of Dragon Age 3.

Dragon Age 3 is going to blend the best features of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2, BioWare CEO Ray Muzyka told PC Gamer at Gamescom. After Dragon Age 2's inconclusive, varied review scores, BioWare is focused on making all fans, core and new, happy: "What we need to do as developers is take that feedback from both sets of fans to heart and see about marrying that in future games in the Dragon Age franchise. I think that the team has actually got a great plan," Muzyka said.

We're on board as long as that plan doesn't involve throwing raspberries into the blender -- a raspberry and chain mail smoothie may sound good, but it is a bad idea. Trust us on this one.

Bad move. As for the blender analogy -- What happens when you take a ripe and fresh banana, and throw it into a blender with a rotten apple? You get a bad smoothie.

Dragon Age 2 was the biggest disappointment of the year. If I were BioWare, I'd simply forget DA2 even existed, just don't have anything to do with that game. Announce that it wasn't canon and that it was all just a dream.

I can't think of 5 things I liked about DA2. Origins was amazing though.

I'm actually one of the few people that liked DAII.

Yes there is a lot of issues with it, but I still liked it and enjoyed. Hell I played it a few hours ago.

Understand that I don't like true RPG games.(i.e I like ME2 over ME1)

I kinda already get a sense of what the plot will be in DAIII, and depending if they plan on making even more DA games, I can guess the main plot for each.

Bases on the events of both DAI and DAII:

A war is about to start between Trevinters and the Qunari.
Mage vs Templar war in Kirkwall, with the Divine getting involved.
A war with Stakehaven(probably wont tie in with Mage v Templar)
Another blight is among us.
Orlesian Empire attacks Feralden.

These are my opinion of what the plot(s) for DAII or any future DA game could be based off events from the first 2 games.

I honestly hope DA just goes away at this point.

In a little over 1.5 years Bioware released:

Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age Origins: Awakening (the expansion)
Dragon Age 2
Dragon Age 2: Legacy (the expansion)

In the battle of quality versus quantity, we (the consumers) lost.

I disagree, Origins was a great game, my only issue with it was my character didn't talk and I didn't like the combat system.

Awakening was also great, as well as the other 4 DLC for Origns.

I like DAII, I give it a 7.0 out 10, Legacy was not bad, but it was far from good.

You have to remember who Bioware works under. EA likes to have games rushed and put out as fast as possible.

You can tell the difference by looking at Mass Effect 1(Bioware with Microsoft) vs Mass Effect 2 (Bioware with EA).

Now that Bioware is with EA, they're games don't feel or look finished, and starts out with a lot of bugs.

I'd agree that Origins was a good game, as for the rest, "meh." Don't get me wrong, I LIKE the DA universe I just feel as though it is being wasted by Bioware's 2nd stringers.

Actually, it's looking more and more like BioWare lost with their decision of signing with EA.

They better hope ME3 is a better game than ME2, because after what we got with DA2, fans aren't taking it anymore. I honestly believe ME3 is BioWare's final shot at redemption, because DA2 and Legacy was just bad in comparison to Origins and Awakening.

I liked Dragon Age 2.

It wasn't as good as Origins, but it was still a good game. One of the highlights for me was seeing the Temple get destroyed by Anders

I was literally cheering when I saw that happen. I've always disliked the Templars in the game, so that was a major relief for me. What I hope they do is allow greater choices in the next game. I desperately wanted to play as a Dwarf or an Elf.

If this game is anything like DA:2, I won't play it either.

I want a role-playing strategy game, dammit.
