BioWare wants to change how party controls work in next Dragon Age game

Dragon Age executive producer Mark Darrah recently revealed that they are probably going to rethink how companions are handled in the next installment of the popular fantasy series. According to Darrah, the development team is “likely to take party control in a different direction.”

How about just going back to a tabletop style like DA:O which was BY FAR the best Dragon Age.

[Last_Boss]

But they need to keep the expansive world, but connect how you come across new areas. But you're right on combat.

[RememberThe357]

Sounds like they're doing the opposite

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Dude I love origins for the characters and story but the combat was trash in that game

[PhoenixUp]

The only reason I played Dragon Age: Origins was cuz I was told that the combat system played similarly to FFXII, which is my favorite

[TheMystiqueAgent]

This can be their greatest downfall. While 2 was made for consoles ( it seemed to be that it was ) DA:O was probably the most fun. Make/keep it strategic try to change too much up and we end up where Mass Effect was/is.

[Last_Boss]

2 was not made for consoles, it was EA rushing a sequel coming in high off the DA:O reception.

[TheMystiqueAgent]

Ah the controls and everything gave off the vibe that it was made for that.

[LordoftheCritics]

Bioware just do what you feel necessary. Listening to everyone will make your game like everything out there.

I want to play new games, make something new, change whatever you need to change.

[Sam Fisher]

Just dont listen to sjw, thats my only concern

[InKnight7s]

Good luck quiting EA no matter what.

[starforge71]

considering the disaster that was ME:A ill pass on any games this company puts out

[TheEroica]

All they've done is minimize the importance of the squad in each game that's come out since the original mass effect and DAO. Andromeda, inquisition, da2 completely lost sight of the fact that it isn't the cut scenes alone that build the character relationships but the usefulness in gameplay that makes you like a character.

More meaningful dialogue helps.
They should hire a pyschologist to help them create meaningful characters with depth instead of the cookie cutter politically correct characters theyve been creating recently.

They should look to Baldurs gate for inspiration or at least KOTOR.

[EatCrow]

They should probably figure out how NOT TO kill this IP first.

Cuz they be on their way.
