Although everyone here might not share the holiday, let us be thankful today for friendships forged by the lively discussions, and feisty disagreements, held in these forums. 🦃

I just realized that the bulk the failures around dragon age are almost entirely EA'S fault yet bioware is getting all of the blame it's not that they're a terrible developer It's that they have a terrible parent company most of the firings, most of the poor decisions that were made especially for DAV bioware was blamed solely for all of it even though it was never really their decisions to make. Don't get me wrong there were times where bioware was directly responsible for certain actions not most of it.

I'm not saying this is actually correct this is just how I feel and perceive it.

I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.

It would be nice to know that dragon age isn't lost yet.

ANDRASTE AND THE MAKER BE WITH YOU ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS MAY YOU WALK ALWAYS IN THEIR LIGHT.

Why do you think Veilguard failed? Was it EA’s fault or BioWare’s? What do you think are the chances for a fifth game, and wouldn’t it be better if another company bought the franchise?

It was a text-based game with its own wiki. Does anyone have access to that site or information from there? I tried, but couldn't find what I was looking for. I'd appreciate any help or even a small suggestion.

I’ve been recently replaying Origins and Awakening with a female Aeducan when the thought occurred to me that Inquisition blundered a great opportunity to feature Kal’Hirol!

For the Descent DLC, Valta mentions the current King of Orzammar (Harrowmont or Bhelen) welcomes the Inquisition to Orzammar but we never actually get to go.

It would have been great if they utilized Kal’Hirol as the location we set out from versus the Storm Coast. It is cannon that the WC cleared the Thaig and that House Helmi reclaimed it, shame Bioware couldn’t include a proper Dwarven Thaig when there were like 3 redundant desert maps in Inquisition.

Just my thoughts; what do you guys think- missed opportunity or better left out?

Never mind. Just found out they were codes, not on disc lol

In Veilguard, we learned that the first of the Elvhen people came to be by Spirits using Lyrium to create physical bodies. That we know of, Elgar’nan, Mythal, and Solas were amongst those Elves, Elgar’nan being the most powerful.

My question is, how and why was Elgar’nan so powerful as an Elvhen mage? Is it because he used more Lyrium than others to create his body? Or maybe was it because he was an extremely powerful spirit? Or maybe both of those or something else entirely? What kind of spirit do you think Elgar’nan was?

I think he was a Spirit of Command or a Spirit of Determination. If he was a Demon, then I think he was a Hunger or Desire Demon. What are your thoughts and answers?

Did anyone else realize they kind of look like the spirit form the elvhen had in the Veilguard flashbacks? I thought that was kind of interesting but not sure there's more meaning to it. What're your thoughts?

According to Mark Darrah in his latest interview, (link: https://www.thegamer.com/dragon-age-remastered-trilogy-ea-refusal-bioware-interested-origins-inquisition/) Bioware has offered EA several times to remake the first three games, but EA has refused to commit resources to it each time, citing the supposedly too complex and expensive development (which suggests that EA is no longer interested in the franchise, as they don't want to commit money even to remakes, which are much cheaper than developing a game from scratch), and Bioware doesn't have the internal resources (especially after the recent events at the studio).

I'm just curious about your opinion on this matter.

I think the fifth protagonist is an executor with amnesia

Hi there!

I'd like to know if I'm the only one having problems updating the DAI-progress in the keep.

Some events seem not to be updating no matter what I do: war table missions (Wedding in Val Royeaux), NOT completing missions in regions like emprise, emerald graves, NOT having a specialization, NOT encountering Calpernia or Samson...

Other events do update: having a spcialization, romances, destroying Samsons armor...

The progress can be chosen manually, I know that.

I simply wonder if it's common in 2025 that some things are not updating anymore.

Greez&thx!
