That's what happens when you spend most of your time over 15 years here posting in GD and not talking about RPGs

All friends I know love Mass Effect 1-2-3, they praise it at their best game. When I hear what people say about it irl, it's like the best game ever made.

Had a roommate years back who saw me playing Gothic, got talking about games, and found out I like RPGs (he's a console guy).

I quote: "Oh have you played Mass Effect 2? It's the best RPG ever"

Dragon Age 4: Dreadwolf Will Not Release Before April 2024​


https://wccftech.com/dragon-age-4-dreadwolf-not-release-april-2024/
An improvement! With any luck, it won't release EVER!
If Bioware isn't going to do traditional/party-based CRPGs, then they are pretty much dead to me at this point.

One could make a good argument they haven't done so for years.
Pretty much for the most part. Now it's just "action RPGs", or more specifically action-adventure games with lite RPG elements.

No shortage of those types of AAA games, including the ones that even the Codex slobbers over (Witcher 3, Hogwarts Legacy, Elden Ring, God of War, etc.).

not liking a Beth game because you can't mod out its problems is a skill issue
If you mod out FO4's problems, what's left? (Apart from the OST, that's pretty good.)

I wonder if Dreadwolf is going to be less moddable than Inquisition, which barely coped with simple texture replacers.

DA4 = further ruining of anything good of DA series. Little by little, they ruined. Started with the rushed but still playable Da2 than went with the limpnoodle MMO DA3... How will DA4 be worse than DA3 in terms of game play, combat characters, plot, writing, and world building. I shudder at the horror story. Can it be worse than ME4 which had ZERO redeeming features (admittedly I had to stop playing after a couple of hours cause of how shit it was lol,). :D

DA2 did have a better companion friend/enemy system than DA:O but nothing else, and it's a shame most of the party are faggots.

Eh given who is the lead of the project. This will be another disaster.
As should be. Bioware always precedes trends in gaming industry. They made first good Mechwarrior game. They made modern 2002 RPG in 1998 (BG). They made game-editor (NN) before it was a thing. They made movie game from 2015 in 2007 (MA). They made 2020 woke game (DA:I) in 2014. They achieved first woke fail in 2017 with MA:A. Then, they will crumble under a weight of own sins after DA4.

You are doing ARPGs a disservice by calling Dread Wolf an ARPG.

Dragon Age Origins was passable but everything after that is pure decline. Back in 2008 I still had hopes they would expand upon Origins to produce a better game but no they fully went console click lgbt route.

Love this revisionist history. Bioware turned bad, therefore retroactively their output was always bad. Peak Codex.

As for the delays, this might be their final attempt to salvage the Bioware brand. If this sucks, I am not sure the studio will continue to exist.
And yes, yes, ship of Theseus and all that, but I mean it might get officially axed. Andromeda and Anthem were both big flops, and very memetic, public flops. If this is the same, the Bioware brand will have more negative connotations than positive, even for casuals.

Their output was always decent at best. It was just popular until it wasn't.
