Well the industry is looking at Baldur’s Gate 3 to learn how fantasy RPG are supposed to be made. CEO thinks the only thing really missing is the only thing BG3 does NOT have.
incredible, you absolutely nailed it mr CEO
The children yearn for dark patterns
Dragon Age 1: Quest 1: Here is the exact ritual to create new Gray Wardens
Every Dragon Age since: You’re the last Gray Warden! No one knows how to make more!
To be fair, Duncan knew it and technically there are realities with no survivors from that ritual… There are also realities where it appears your Gray Warden has been running around spiking people’s drinks with dark spawn blood because how the hell do we keep getting more wardens? It’s possible that the knowledge was really lost due to a few Wardens thinking “No, I won’t repeat that.”
The truth of the matter is, no one can bring themselves to put taint that many times in the modern games.
Well, obviously. Just look at the massive success by the other major game in the genre, Baldur’s Gate 3. Fucking packed to the rafters with live service elements so that must be it.
I just couldn’t stop buying the bg3 season passes, fomo-exclusive character skins and consumable magic item bundles to feed the one companion whose name escapes me atm.
/S
I’ve got so many Golden Keys for opening Ultra-Elite chests in BG3, but it won’t give me the exclusive Golden Helm of Baldur with the alternate mod slot unless I upgrade my golden Keys with exclusive in-game currency.
</s> is a conversation I’ve never heard around BG3.
if only Larian made the next Dragon Age game like they did with BG3
Like, why though, it seems like the main reason it failed is because very few people care about Dragon Age, why not have a well loved developer make something people are excited about?
Lots of people care about DA, very few people care about whatever the fuck DAV was
You sound like a fucking CEO.
“We ruined this whole game from the beginning by making this single player franchise into a live service and changed our mind half way through, so what we have is a poorly written story with bad characterisation, tokenism, generic combat that always feels exactly the same regardless of how you approach a fight and only three skills to equip for the whole damn game. Obviously nobody likes it because nobody cares about dragon age.”
Lmfao they will never learn
They know better. But this is the bullshit they spin to try and convince everyone else. It doesn’t work.
Maybe it works with shareholders, who seem to be as invested and interested in quality as EA CEO
Nailed it. He is making excuses to shareholders.
Yup, I didn’t get it because there simply wasn’t enough seasonal content, loot boxes, battle passes, and FOMO elements. Better luck next time EA!
Same. No battlepass? No money.
OFFS.
It couldn’t be the lackluster story, lack luster game play that everyone seems to point out. Nope it has to be not being a live service…
Dragon Age is not a popular IP.
I know one person who was excited for this release.
I tried to get into it in DA2, but the characters and story were so fucking cardboard I couldn’t stand it.
Origins was such an awesome game. I’ve been disappointed since.
I was excited for this, and then I saw some of the dialogue and character design. Woof.
Varrick is a national treasure (but DA2 did kind of suck)
Varrick is a national treasure
Interestingly enough, autocorrect is changing Varric to Varrick, but also yes.
I loved how dumb DA2 was, played it a whole bunch. Loved that there were only, like 6 dungeon maps, with customizable barriers for “variety”.
What a fucking idiot. I’m itching to refund it just for this statement alone.
It was Skill-up’s review that turned me off it and I’m glad I never played it from the rest of the reviews I’ve read. The art direction is so off-putting and I love the line “it feels like HR is in the room with you in every scene”, I have no idea what they were thinking.
Oh wow! I gotta admit, I kinda like Veilguard. Yeah, it’s the same “Bioware Style” story as a lot of others. Sorry it wasn’t to a lot of people’s taste.
Problem is that we waited 10 twara and got this. Doesn’t even compare to inquisition, feels like a VERY small game and the dialogue, story and combat is nor great. Not to mention there is no crafting and the game is very much clpawd and not open world like. Doesn’t even stand close to Inquisition, which I might add won fame of the year without live service.
Clpawd?

Iä! Iä!
I hope EA crashes and burns and that all the IP they gobbled up and/or murdered can be free from its clutches
