Ask your parents. Perhaps they played some actual CRPGs back in the day.
We all know that's a lie. You tease.

Not sure if having him on board would have done anything to improve Bioware's games since he left.

Polyamory? Really Bioware? It's not enough to deal with one whiny therapist session but forming triads with ugly hambeasts and emaciatated weebs is your goal now? Sex is only for procreation, missionary only with the lights off like the good book says. Next thing you know it'll be animals and then bacteria. God, the republicans were right, society is fucked if this is the future.

I predict a DLC that unlocks an item in game, protected by a fade dragon. Which you can then give to a companion, making him turn into a sexually tyrannical tranny, which in turn gives him/her/it/cis/them ehmotional relief: +100hp.

If I had the time and the will to cause myself self-harm I would replay and DA2 and ME3 in a single week, jot down some notes about the two games, then make predictions based off that.
I don't expect this game to play even close to DA:O. It's going to be a mishmash of ME3 and DA2 and I'm almost certain we will see similar plot points from those two games. We've already seen assets from DA2 and DA:O being re-used in DA3. Generally, I would applaud developers for being frugal (I'd much prefer better gameplay and story than extra money wasted re-inventing the wheel by recreating the same damn assets over and over), but it nevertheless irritates me for a reason I can't yet place.
You can be certain all of the bosses will be high fantasy, dragon ball z style. Darkspawn this, demon that. I can't even recall a Dragon Age boss that wasn't over the top and immersion-breaking -- like I wasn't in a WoW raid of some type. Would it kill you guys to engineer interesting encounters with average humans? With all the pointless flipping around and exaggerated staff flinging, it's utterly obvious not an ounce of the game's combat will be tactical, nor even plausible -- understandable. I like games that aren't afraid to take me into the thick of battle, it's what sets games apart from movies, who often try to make combat a ridiculous and incomprehensible spectacle. Good games make combat pretty, but they put a greater emphasis on simulating the results of your key input, making it feel more like you're in control of the action. So far, DA3 looks like you press a buton and awesome happens -- only, awesome just becomes confusing after a while.
Maybe it's just me, but compare LoL and DotA. Sure, DotA has some problems, but I literally cannot play League of Legends when the end game shows up. There is so much light and particle effects and movement I literally see a blur of color during a 5v5 fight and I physically just lock up and can't figure anything out; I'm in a daze. Dragon Age 2 kind of did this as well, it was hard for me to get the positioning right, what with the awful camera, and all the stupid awesome everywhere.

Is all this bizarre deviant shit actually part of the game marketing or is it fan made?
No wonder they can't afford to include actually interest combat, story permutations, and more diverse and fleshed out beastiary. They're too busy writing, voicing, and making cutscenes for 8 fucking romances.

I dunno, I think there really isn't much to discuss, or to be expected, under those categories. I think somewhere in the 240+ pages of this thread we already dismissed all of those aspects for what they are: popamole-1-hawksome-button-combat, console-level-graphics, and quest design in a DA game? Really dude?
Sorry, I courdn't herp thinking of

That was DAO and the new shit will be more like ME3+DA2. Only hope for this game is to play Dwarf and Purge all those Faggots Ordo Hereticus style.

Meh, those were all boring HP spounges with inflated stats. One interesting DAO encounter (against a non-monster opponent) I remember was that female dwarf mob boss (can't remember her name), she had traps laid beforehand, used stealth, switched between melee and ranged attacks, constantly was on the move etc.
