Bunch of HR speak for bullshit. New writers won't save their projects. The IPs would be better served letting another studio break open their worlds. Capcom would make a much better modern Dragon Age. BG going to Larian was a godsend or we'd have nothing in terms of narrative RPGs from the west for like the past 5 years. Could you imagine if a studio like Fromsoft got to do Mass Effect?

What best people though? Like even if you remove all the garbage from the last DA story/characters, you're still left with a pretty fucking shit game. The gameplay doesn't salvage the story stuff, and I don't think it was like that because they added queer friendly controls or trans accepting mechanics, it was just not a very good game at its core.

It was a 10 year old zombie shell of a game they tried to reboot because of all the recent single player rpg interest. The dei hires made it retarded but it was going to be a bullshit cash grab even with competent developers.

I have known BioWare was doomed back when my friend dated a dev up there - went up there to live w her, but she wouldn’t sponsor him for a work visa lol. She was liberal… left BioWare, worked for Lucas/Disney game dept in Korea or something and now is back in the states.
BioWare had a few magic bottle games then promptly shat themselves.

What sort of mindset does a person have to have in order to think a giant company is 'on their side.' What does that even mean? I have been successful in thr corporate world, but I have always viewed the company writ large as adversarial. They want to pay me the least they can to make them the most money I can. They are only willing to do something that makes them more money, not less. In fact, this dumb woke shit is the first time O have ever seen a company spend money for absolutely no appearance of financial gain. That is why I knew it would never last.

DD2 was like going to a cheap Italian bakery in the US: There are all these pretty looking colorful cookies and you buy some thinking they will be as delicious as it looks, but then you take a bite and they all taste the same - a bland ass sugar cookie.

Yea DD2 was pretty bad but Capcom has made other games and DD2 wasn't nearly as bad as DAV.
If you could have a new dragon age in the style of another developer who would you pick? Would you go back to the roots of isometric tactical style based DA:O or lean into the action RPG element?
