Pretty excited. The only thing I have reason to be excited for so far is that we might be seeing the Grey Warden and Hawke, which will be, well, awesome.
That being said, everyone exaggerates how much of a screw up DA2 was. EA only gave them like, what, a year's production time with DA2? They seem to have given Bioware more creative freedom and time with Inquisition, so we can hope!Thats if your Grey Warden survives. Hawke, I'm not so bothered about because he didn't feel like he was my own character.
I know. And mine did.
As for Hawke, I disagree. He was different to the Warden but I liked it, and honestly giving him a voice made everything so much better.voiced protagonists take away all immersion into the game and disallow for you to make your own story of your character.....
the primary appeal of rpgs is that you can do whatever you want and be whomever you want. When you get a voice you cannot think of what his or her voice might be on its own.
dragon age was actually a modern throwback on the baldurs gate series which let you customize your character in a plethora of areas. If dragon age is meant to harken back to ye olden days and it gives "your character" (i say that loosely as hawk is preset anyway) a voice it shatters that perception of what you might have wanted that character to be. Instead we get a half fleshed out character that the developers expect us to fill in ourselves. The problem is that this character never feels realized and instead of it being an instresting character of his/her own we must fill in the empty pieces. This makes the character a husk and it ends up feeling more like a puppet than something that you have made yourself, or a fully fleshed out character.
