Since this Dragon age Dreadwolf is going to be the last with the "heart" of the original masterminds of the dragon age universe. I think most of the things in this list are not going to going back. However, the origin stories are going, indeed, to make a come back may be not as origin stories but rather as factions, So, lets hope for that. The rest is not that bad but i agree with some of them and understand others. My only wish as you is the origin system back. The rest, to be more specific the silent protagonist, I dont think is going to be back. For me, its not a big deal, i like that each game have their own "aura" or "vibe" but that doesnt try to define Dragon age as a whole but rather a chapter in the universe. Origins is more a grey scenario, 2 is like a reading a dark fantasy tale while 3 is more a holy war. Still, it does resemblance Dragon age at its core. However, seeing grey scenario or darker moments as origins really need to come back since this new DA is going to be the biggest scenario for horrible stuff.

I don't agree about the silent protag, I was gutted when BG3 decided to scrap their voiced protag. That being said, they NEED to get a solid and GOOD VA for a voiced protag, and I simply don't trust bioware to find a GOOD voice actor. I mean "want a sandwich?" Really? I know that was a writing issue, but the VA for fem Hawke was more accidentally funny than actually delivering the lines well. It was *awful*. Getting rid of the dialogue wheel? Mmmm, Yeah I kind of agree here. The response is NEVER what I expected it to be. Tactics - HELLS YES!! This option was SO special in DA:O and I was so frustrated when they gutted the combat systems and removed this option. Origin stories - Yeah, I'd LOVE them back. They were Bioware's magic sauce, and they screwed themselves when they got rid of them AND also in SWTOR. They had the golden egg and they tossed it in the dirt. A HUGE one for me is PLEASE for the love of all holy cheeses, bring back HEALERS!! With all the retconning BW have done in this franchise, it should be NOTHING to bring back healing. It should NEVER have been removed, and the franchise is much poorer and more shallow for it. I'm a healer. It's one of the things that got me replaying DA:O TWENTY SEVEN TIMES to end credits. I want it back. All up though, I'm not hopeful. I'm looking forward to seeing the streams and reviews POST game release, but there's not a snowball's hope in hells that I'm going to pre-order or play it before a month post release. I simply don't trust BW anymore 😔

I loved the origin stories, and those gave tons of layers for your roleplay.

Thanks for the comment. Sounds like a lot of fun playing the city elf that way. The city elf is one of my top two favorite origins. Human noble warrior and city elf rogue. Human noble has that strong connection to the main antagonist through Arl Rendon Howe and the city elf has a tragic, excellently written origin story,, causing a deep seeded hatred for humans that's very satisfying to roleplay off. Third place is mage...

Overall Dragon Age: Origins is just a fantastic rpg, so deep and layered characters. What i loved even was the figthing mechanic, what i was soooo missing in Inquisitoin - i did not played Dragon Age 2 -. In DA:O you havee sooo much possibilities in skills, skill trees and oh i just loved the mag sword kinda like mage, what can use sword and magic too. It was the spellword? I dont remember the name.

I want a voiced protagonist. I want pretty looking elves back. I want a re recruitable dog back. I want better character customization options. I want a romanceable Zevran back or something like Alistair. Yes, i want more better romance options. Currently I’m playing DA2 for the first time and the romance options for straight women are limited. A female straight Hawk has the choice between: 1) Fenris, who is a bit broken due to his past as a slave and magical test object. But it’s nice so far, as i‘m taking the friend romance route. 2) Anders, wtf Anders? Melting with Justice and using him to go on a crazy revenge thing while betraying his own partner and everyone? Not cool. 3) Sebastian, finally we have guy who treats a female Hawk nice and with respect. But then again, he wants a chaste marriage. That is just unrealistic nonsense unless you play an asexual character. I don’t know what drugs BioWare took, while writing those romances. But half of it would have been enough. I didn’t expect much and i‘m still disappointed with DA2.

I’m kinda use to having a voiced protagonist as it gives them more of a personality instead of being a blank slate. Also, I always thought that Dragon Age was more of a high fantasy rather than a dark fantasy as some of the dark moments felt kinda there most of the time. I felt the tone of the first game was more of a Lord of the Rings esc feel with Elves and Dwarves, with some Harry Potter and Game of Thrones elements mixed in. Plus there were a lot of comedic moments too in the first game. So what made 2 and Inquisition any different in terms of comedy? Dark Fantasy implies stories such as Berserk, Attack on Titan, Diablo, Demon’s Soul, Final Fantasy 16, Legacy of Kain and Witcher. As for the whole CRPG aspect, I felt that the race and class roster wasn’t big enough as it just have Humans, Elves and Dwarves and didn’t have the traditional Halflings, Gnomes, Orcs or Beastfolk/Lizardfolk. Hell, the first game didn’t let us play as Qunari. Thank god Inquisition made up for that as the Inquisitor got to be Qunari too. The classes were just Warrior, Rogue and Mage. No Cleric, Templar, Ranger, Bard, Necromancer, Arcane Warrior, Artificer, Berserker, Reaver and Assassin to start with once you create your character as they were just specializations for both the Warriors, Rogues and Mages. If Dragon Age should have stayed as a CRPG, then they should add in more races and more classes with each new game.
