For RPGs replayability is big for me, so I would prefer a tighter 30-60 hour campaign with lots of choices and RP variety for maximum replayability. I rarely replay 100+ hour games because of the sheer time sink. Like I’d rather replay Mass Effect 2 twice than revisit Inquisition again for example.
@gnarlyboyjai5 сағат бұрын
Bro I’ve noticed this too as I’ve gotten older. I was a teen when inquisition came out so i played the shit out of it and loved it. Now, I much prefer playing dragon age 2, even though it has plenty of shortcomings, because of the replay-ability and how Hawke’s personality is molded based on your dialogue options.

My ideal rpg length is probably around 60-70h, with a lot of meaty content, but also a chance to replay the game a few times. But I'll take even 100h if it means more completionist pt. The game looks really good so far. I was initially apprehensive, esp when it comes to mage combat, but I do like how fast-paced and reactive it feels after watching some footage. I'm psyched about visiting so many new areas of Thedas. Can't wait to get my hands on the game. Thanks a lot for this informative vid. 🙏

On topic of game length, I have held for most of my life that the longer a game is, the more I like it. I realize now as I've gotten older, and especially with BG3, a game I really enjoy, how that I actually enjoy games like Mass Effect 2 which were pretty much about 30 hours long, but extremely replayable. That's not to say I won't do the ultra long game with lots of stuff, but I do know that even as much as I love BG3, it feels like I am committing to at least a month or more of play, and with so many games out there I like and want to play, it makes it harder for me to get to see the depth of a game because I am less likely to replay it as much as I would another shorter game.

5:35 The Mass Effect 3 solo campaign also upgrades weapons and weapon mods every time you find or purchase the same item - I think to level X (ten) or higher after multiple playthroughs. The randomized loot boxes in ME3 multi-player are similar, but more frustrating, because you can play for 12 literal years and still not get the gear or character you want, while stockpiling enough shotgun and sniper rile mods to run an army of Reaper troops. Still, ME3 Multiplayer (2012) remains my favorite multi-player of all time. Edit: DA2 had companion-specific armor upgrades at specific vendors, too, and DAI had some companion-specific armor as well, not just class-specific.

Seems likely the same gear is going to be in the same places each time. And there's surely not much of it given it has to be doled out exclusively to the appropriate companion. In a good RPG you don't cascade your items down through your companions when main character gets a new item, because it generally doesn't apply to the companion build. That's the point - they're different companions with different abilities, so cascading doesn't always work. And here it's all gone anyway. Yes, it's streamlining but excessively so, by the looks. Inventory management can be a drag but it is part of the deal. Or used to be, at least. Clearly nobody is going to be spending an hour on the inventory screen here - for some that's a boon, no doubt. For others though it's going to reduce involvement and sense of personalisation. Over-streamlining kills actual gameplay. I mean, why bother with any of it, ultimately - just press button and have game play itself? They also call items "uncommon" (and legendary etc). But there aren't going to be common items, really, are there - else what did the streamlining achieve? Strikes me there isn't going to be much variety, not much scope for tinkering, not much personalisation etc - except superficially. Also, they said if you upgrade the shops (!) it upgrades all items found in the chests! Err....that's weird. And immersion breaking. Somehow the shop level determines the item level that you find in hidden chests. That's very odd and, again, immersion breaking. You're supposed to be trying to plant folks in the story yet these things are telling you it's all a construct. Hmmm. Colour me (very) sceptical. Not to mention that there seems almost no difference in playstyle available (ranged looks just like melee), there's no element of surprise in combat (no ambushes, etc) and the AI and level design so lacking every encounter plays out the same - a big blob of enemies being pounded with overly-colourful and busy light effects. Meh. Looks real bad to me. And nothing to do with DEI or Woke making it bad. It's just bad.
