Dragon Age: Inquisition sees return of multiple player races

@MegaX- They pretty much confirmed a voiced protagonist and dialogue wheel. The lead writer justified this on the forums to the point where I actually agreed with him on the matter. But it was a lot of words and paragraphs so I barely remember now (it was months ago)

They are apparently trying hard to avoid the mistakes Mass Effect made with it, like using opinionated auto-dialogue (like in ME3 where Shepard would just go off calling a counciler blind even if his words made sense to the player), any of that would just be neutral prgressionary stuff. And they are trying to make the paraphrases as close to the actual line a spossible, to avoid saying things you didn't want to.

He also said they are doing a few things with it that they weren't ready to talk about yet, so look out for that.

@MegaX- I dunno, at this point in my life I just can't go back to silent protagonists. It just kills me every time an npc talks to my character, while all it does is stare into the distance and/or randomly make weird facial expressions. Unless they can cleverly write around it, I hope they stick to the current formula.

@MegaX-

If we have racial choices, the chances are highly in favour of silent protag. Voicing every single race/gender choice would be a massive resource drain.

@MegaX- I would prefer it if NPCs actually reacted to what you were saying. Especially if you ask the same damn question over and over, why would they keep giving the same answer.

I want to see an NPC get mad because you keep picking stupid and unrelated dialogs options and even be frustrated if I keep asking the same question rather than what we currently have in.... well just about any RPG with a dialog system

@KamuiFei This might actually be the first time when a games company says "we have been listening to the fans," they might not be lieing? Would be quite the feat.

@Picia000123 heres a secret, they made mass effect too, which is why there are similarities. shhhhhhh

@Cloud_imperium They consolized the shit out of the controls for DA2. Out of all the problems the game had, that oddly enough was my biggest complaint.

@shingui5 ...okay let me get this straight. People complained about the lack of environment variety in DA2, Bioware fixes that by making the game more open world, people complained about the rushed development of DA2, Bioware literally doubles the development time for DA3, people complained that you could only be a human in DA2, Bioware adds multiple races back into the game, and people STILL complain.

Every single thing they have announced so far has been a fix for almost every problem DA2 had, but people are still finding reasons to give them crap. All I've seen so far is that they listened to their fans and actually made changes to avoid those same mistakes again.

But somehow you're still worried about the series...because of lack of direction. That kind of hurts my head.

@Dudersaper Actually that is interesting. I remember a lot of times some party characters who were not under haste because they went down in combat would get stuck or lost..... How annoying if only my main has a horse and the rest of the party cannot keep up and just stop trying to follow like a few bugs in DA2...........

@Auriken DA:I will definitely outshine DA2 with the way things are progressing.
