@@mmz199 The Dragon Age:Dreadwolf has been renamed to The Dragon Age:Veilguard like a week before they released the trailer. They felt that the companions and the "newfound family" of the new characters, the Veilguard as they call themselves, their relationship and adventure was more fitting, because they are the focus of the game, and not the Dread Wolf himself. Which just saddens me. At the end of the Trespasser Inquisitor vowed to redeem or kill Solas, and set out to seek new people. But now it seems it has passed at least 8 years in game since the Trespasser, and 11 years since the beginning of the Inquisition. Everyone in the main cast are in their 50ies or nearing it. So these are the new people who are going to stop him? This goofiness? Where's Cassandra, Leliana, Inquisitor. The tone and the characters used to be much more mature, despite the Inquisition being the high fantasy.

[@DogFlamingoXIII]

At the time "Inquisition" came out, they said that they were not going to bring back the Hero of Ferelden in the same way they did Hawke, because in too many people's playthroughs, s/he was dead. That's why they brought back Alistair/ Loghain instead. As well, they felt it would be awkward, as the Hero never had a true voice actor (even if they kind of did, depending on which voice you chose for exclamations). Then again, they also gave us a cool idea of what DA 4 was going to be like, with a kind of Exalted March on Orlais and Ferelden from the Qunari in response to letting magic run wild to the point that they ripped a hole in the sky; and now we're just getting a Solas story (which, for me, is probably the most boring route they could have chosen); so maybe they'll change their mind on that too.

[@mayghanpoirier]

Now having seen the gameplay trailer… Is that Elgar’nan at the end? The malevolence in his voice is fantastic! The first lady’s voice must be Lucanis’ mother… the second voice “glory to the risen gods” is obviously about the 2 elven gods that get accidentally released at the end of the gameplay trailer. So some will worship them as they rage against the world. The grey warden voice reminds me of Duncan 😢 he’s probably affiliated with Davrin somehow. I can’t wait for fall!

Imma cry.... I love this series so much. DA II was one of the first games i ever played when it came out and beyond my adoration for the combat, characters and rpg mechanics i vividly remember the craving as a child to learn EVERYTHING i can about the setting, its lore and how my role affects it and that feeling never died. Out of all the fantasy media i've explored since then the world of Thedas and the Fade gotta be my favorite and it's not just nostalgia talking.

I disagree. Mass Effect Andromeda sold 5 milliom copies, that's very succesful, and it was made by a B studio, not the main studio. Anthem failed, and that's it. Mass effect trilogy was a huge success. So if DA4 is at least a bit succesful, they'll be fine. Even if ends up like andromeda, they'll still be fine. If it's a total flop that loses money, then that's a different conversation. Basically they've only ever had one flop, and then 1 very succesful collection, so they still got ammo

I think people (not you specifically) are being a bit too negative about this. I honestly don't think that Dreadwolf will be awful like Anthem or Andromeda or something. I think it will be quite decent, maybe divisive to some extent, but I do think Dreadwolf will be a good game. It's most likely not gonna be a perfect masterpiece, but I think there's a higher chance of Dreadwolf being solid enough than it being straight-up bad.

[@helenafarkas4534]

@@jimmythegamer2231 the thing is, Bioware has been jerking us around for YEARS now. expectations are in the toilet. hype is buried underground. Trespasser technically ended on a cliffhanger, and it's been nearly a decade since. we've BEEN patient. we've given the studio the benefit of every doubt even with all the shakeups, the controversies, and bad games that have come out in between. and we don't even get a release WINDOW? no, we have to wait SIX MONTHS for just that! I know good games take time, but other studios can and DO crank out quality content in a FRACTION of the time Bioware has been working on Dreadwolf, so that excuse just isn't cutting it anymore. and that's assuming IF Dreadwolf turns out to be actually good, instead of being a fractured mess that comes from five or six half baked ideas and concepts being shoved into the same game. the likelihood of which only increases the more times development is halted, scrapped, and restarted, which we know has happed at least once.
