I didn't say anything about Bioware not being innovative or creative. They're one of my 2 favorite developers, and not for lack of those qualities. I'm simply telling you that Dragon Age is not some grand franchise of experiments. They have had a vision for it, it was briefly thrown into chaos by the EA takeover, and now it's gotten back on track. Something both Bioware and EA are very happy about. The next game isn't going to shock anyone.

*sigh* I understand that. I apologies if I took that remark the wrong way. I just really hope you don't get let down based on your expectations. Are you aware of what is going on at BioWare? Where their focus is set at this time? Do you also know that the lead writer of DA David Gaider isn't there anymore correct? He went over to rejoin some of his ex-BioWare mates at BeamDog right?

Also you speak very salty of EA in tandem with BioWare. There really is no need to be. Sure... there's some shitty mistakes but most of that is the past. The DA2 thing was unfortunate and at least EA didn't actually go ahead and make all those ridiculous companies using the BioWare name as a seal of quality like they were planning to do with that Command and Conquer game. Now that was straight up bullshit and a complete dick move, a low blow that EA actually backed off from and never proceeded with. Something to be thankful for.

I'm not salty with EA at all, I actually think they catch a lot of undue flack from people. They're one of the best quality publishers in the business, these days more so than perhaps ever before. DA2 is just the only thing they're responsive got that ever really rubbed me the wrong way.

And yes I'm very aware of what's going on at Bioware. Perhaps I should clarify my statement, or should have done so before since you falsely assumed DA2 to be envisioned as a spin off....when I say the next DA game will not shock anyone, I'm referring to the next mainline game. The franchise being in a healthy place now, there's chances for EA and Bioware to create actual spin offs if they so choose, but that doesn't deviate DA4 from it's course, beyond perhaps time table.
