Dragon Age 3: Inquisition - 5 lessons Dragon Age can learn from the Mass Effect series

With Dragon Age 2, BioWare opted for a constricted city instead of diverse locales, political intrigue rather than ancient evil, and simplified RPG elements over complexity and customization.

there's only ONE thing Bioware can learn from: The Elder Scrolls & Fallout Series (without bugs of course).

The only thing DA needs to learn from ME is not to make DA2. ME did that REALLY well, DA not so much.

DA:O Was/Is one of the greatest RPG of decade, still playing. Cant wait Third one.

"Mass Effect started with RPG-fused shooter mechanics, then quickly transitioned to full-on cover-based shooting that you were more likely to see in games like Gears of War or Uncharted...It worked out well, and the decision to change made the series better."

Wait a second... wasn't that one of the reasons why people didn't like ME2/3 - that it was too much of a cover shooter?

Mass Effect 2 was, basically, a corridor shooter with a fancy map screen. Every planet was just a corridor with shooting.

banjadude4232d ago

A little offtopic: I really hated the colour palette in ME2 - it was such a PAIN on the eyes!

Despair6664233d ago

The DA series doesnt need to learn anything from ME series...
just make it like DA 1 with improved graphics and you are done
