WC: Dragon Age: Inquisition is so good that the next Mass Effect could learn a thing or two from its design choices. Given the sour note the series last left off on, a lot is riding on the success of the upcoming Mass Effect 4. Here are some of the things the next Mass Effect should learn from Dragon Age: Inquisition in order to make the best game possible.
Dragon Age: Inquisition, developed by BioWare, is the third installment in the cherished Dragon Age series. It represents a major evolution from its predecessor, Dragon Age II, incorporating elements that were well-loved in the original Dragon Age: Origins but also introducing new features that stand on their own. While Inquisition improves upon Dragon Age II in many respects, it falls short of the exceptional standards set by Origins.
Game Rant Writes "Canonicity can be a tricky nut to crack in franchises with continuing narratives, and that's something Mass Effect 4 will need to contend with."
wow gamerant forgot mass effect 4 came out years ago number 6 and 7 were cancelled.
The new mass effect which can be called number 5 will not have any of your choices why you might ask?
Well dragon age keep were your choices from number one can been seen in number 3 got unplugged from number one and number 2 is finicky.
Dragon age on pc requires a mod to get past the server login and non of your choices get uploaded to the keep even the dlc no longer works sense it needs a server check.
On xbox i teseted this only though local saves i was able to transfer choices from one to too but 0 of one dlc would work.
So if the more popular dragon age series is in this state why would they care about your mass effect choices?
Oh and that remaster that was tossed out still has day one issues and number 3 is still hard to play on pc do to lighting issues and ram limits imposed from 2014.
My expectations for the next bioware 2.0 titles is very low.
They should redo the dragon age trilogy for sure on pc DA1 the ui is messed up sense it was for 4080p/720i days back in 2005. Getting to run is also very hard
The only way to play dragon age one is via xbox one backwards compatable state.
The ps3 version of dragon age one is pre throphy/ in game xmb so it has the freezing/crashing issues or just will not run.
Well i am not American so please enlighten me on usa education before your country invades mine and forces us into your society
@ just_looken
Did I mention education? Never said America did have negative points. I know for all you “enlightened” people you think everything is either all good or all bad, but in reality that’s not how life works. We have a government that traded a known terrorist for a basketball player who moonlights as a drug dealer. We aren’t perfect by a long shot. If you want to go political though how about your leader leaving his own country when the truck driver strike happened?
Yea I read that and was like I've heard way more people talk mass effect compared to dragon age. Personally I'm more into mass effect. It's got the whole dope ass sci fi thing going on while dragon age has the same old medieval thing
andromeda is a spin off tjo and not considerd a numvered title. as it has to 99% nothing to do with the trilogy.
i think they need to make the destroy perfect ending canon.
we need more of shepard. haha.
Game Rant Writes "Mass Effect 4 will likely treat Mass Effect 3’s Destroy ending as canon, and this gives it an opportunity to explore a post-apocalyptic galaxy."
Destroy is the best choice. Bring the relays back over the course of a new trilogy, maybe right at the end of the first game. Say it was Cerberus, Salarians or a bunch of keepers that created a relay.
i just hope they do something great with the story
i love inquisition but its big and has lots of stuff to do and because of that i couldnt focus on the main story
One thing you must learn from Dragon Age :
Its multiplayer is almost a direct copy paste from Mass Effect multiplayer, including grinding and microtransactions (and it actually took longer to buy a large chest with ingame money in ME3 than it does in DAI).
The main difference is you actually need to play coop and use roles now. More than in ME3 anyway.
I'd say they did MP this way in DA cause it worked very well in ME. And if they keep following the ME formula, it will only get better. Can't wait to see some new environments (they're not maps really, it works like in Warframe where the rooms are not always in the same order).
Also, what you suggest was done in SWTOR, you should try and see how you like the way coop questing is done (I know it's an mmo but you can actually play it like a coop RPG).
