Dragon Age III Message Board

What be Dragon Age III: Inquisition has now got rid a the eye-eye-eye. Losing el numero three-o may seem like a minor thing, but t' Electronic Arts, it be a "tactical marketing decision." Frank Gibeau, the boss a EA Games, acknowledged t' IGN that there's a debate over whether numbers in sequels work, don't work, mean anything or don't. "We felt like we wanted t' bring more attention t' the word Inquisition, because that’s more the story arc a what it’s like. "It’s a tactical marketing decision" he added, before adding "There wasn’t anything that strategic about it, t' be blunt." Here's where I forget the distinction between strategy 'n tactics, but whatever, marketers expropriate military terms all the time without knowing what they mean. The non-strategic tactical choice be meant t' "draw more attention t' the fact that Inquisition be an all-new chapter inside a the Dragon Age universe, as opposed t' people expecting a follow-on t' Dragon Age 1 'n 2 in a literal, linear sense."

I think I actually like Dragon Age II a lot more than most people. Mainly, though, I appreciate for what it nearly ended up being – not so much what it be. I mean, it explored some seriously interesting subject matter 'n dropped the tried 'n tired “epic globe stroll t' save the world” format in favor a a more self-contained, intimate tale. Time passed, things changed, characters (sort a) led their own lives, etc. Unfortunately, those lives all tended t' lead t' the same goddamn cave, 'n I’ve played FMV games with more robust character customization. t' hear BioWare tell it, though, the recently de-doctored RPG giant be taking those complaints extremely seriously. I do, however, still have a few reservations about the resulting plan for Dragon Age III.
