Apparently if you did not like a game you are called a hater, what they actually mean is that your opinion was clearly wrong. Anyway, yes; I believe the series will stay dormant for several years, I also think origin does not need a remake as I am kind of sick of them to be honest.

I wouldn't bother playing Origins now, it's quite antiquated and needs a tad of a modern touch with QoL and graphical stuff. It's not in need as much as KOTR but it's getting to that point.

The Witcher is great and it leads into a LOT of real Slavic myths cause it takes that as the basis of inspiration,

Played W3, a very good game but I dunno, something didn't click for me the same way DA world did.

Same, I just want Origins remade but with little of the FF7 remake treatment however so added content and QoL stuff, along with redone VA would be welcomed. 

The game Exodus by members of the old Bioware is enough and probably better than an ME4 with this team. Perhaps they would learn a thing or two after remake Origins and be able to craft a new DA that would reset the story in the vein of the Modren Warfare trilogies recent soft Reboot. 

FF7 is my one of my favourite games of all time so i can honestly say that if they redo Origins in the same way they "remade" FF7, then I'm out. I don't want some generic action game thrown at me. :P

And I've heard of that too, it looks to be a potential. 

Oh, BTW. Try Tides of Numenera. It's a game that is a more modern Planescape Torment, I think it may be more than a spiritual successor. I enjoyed the time I spent with it and have been meaning to return to it, it's really dialogue heavy, almost like it's the whole game similar to Disco Elysium.

Dragon Age was never anything more than Great Value brand Dungeons and Dragons anyway. BG3 killed whatever little relevance it had left.

For the games, yes for sure. One of my favourite games series ever, going out with a "meh".

Such promise, potential, wasted. Disappointing characters, interactions, combat, lore reveals. I think the IP will remain as writers are likely to carry on certain things (books etc) and publications but I was never interested in those as those were all about the character we already know but i was never interested in that. I wanted games with new characters of their stories in this world, one I controlled but it's obvious the writers never actually did.

500 hours in Origins, 250 in DA2, 1200 in DA:I and most of these I did another play right after. 47 in DAV, have no interest in going back.

Now, going to have to hyper focus myself on another thing fictional world. BG3 was good, maybe it's time to get into Forgotten Realms, I hear Planescape game was real good.

I wish they’d do a modern Dragonlance game, with Raistlin and Caramon.

You mean Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age: Origins - The Awakening and Dragon Age Inquisition as the three games, right?

I'm inclined to believe that we will not see Dragon Age in the immediate future (even a 10 year span) until at some point down the road they go, oh we can pull this out for Nostalgia and people might get their kids into it. 20 years maybe. Unless it's a Remake of Origins whoch would actually sell, I would reckon, albeit they'll probably go the FF7 route, screw it up and people will be pissed. 

It was  a 10 year gap between Inquisition (2014) and Veilguard (2024) anyway.

Honestly I would just like a remake of Dragon Age: Origins and an update to Inquisition to add 4k support to Xbox and Playstation.

Origins was incredible.
Every "class" had it's own unique start story line.

Origins also had Alistair and Morrigan who were absolutely charismatic and hilarious together, you could tell the actors were enjoying their roles.
And the story had a "bigger than me" story. - Something that was lost in Dragon Age 2.

The combat also required far more strategy, which harkens back to Baldurs Gate, Arcanum, Neverwinter Nights, Planescape Torment, Icewind Dale and more, which I really enjoyed.

Dragon Age 2 was terrible, minus a few highlights with characters. - I.E. Varric.

Dragon Age: Inquisition had some really good world building and it was a pretty game on release, shame the maps were huge and the combat was dumbed down for more casual/console audiences.

And Veilguard? I enjoyed the dynamic between Solas and Varric, it was a good conclusion to those stories, but visually it wasn't a 10~ year leap over Inquisition, not on PC anyway and there were a lot of niggles. It was a "good" game, just not a genre defining "great" game... And the same issues that plagued Inquisition still existed. I.E. Dumbed down combat to appeal to console gamers/casuals.


Same, I just want Origins remade but with little of the FF7 remake treatment however so added content and QoL stuff, along with redone VA would be welcomed. 

The game Exodus by members of the old Bioware is enough and probably better than an ME4 with this team. Perhaps they would learn a thing or two after remake Origins and be able to craft a new DA that would reset the story in the vein of the Modren Warfare trilogies recent soft Reboot. 

I like Rebirth and all, but stop this nonsense of dumbing RPGs down. The only change to Origins would be to update the visuals. The combat was perfect as is. You don't realize it, but Origins is turn-based, as it's based on a dice roll. Not all turn-based games look the same.

Tides of Numenera is okay to slightly good.
However it kinda fails hard to live up to the legacy that Planescape torment had.

Start with planescape... if you fall in love, and get around to it... then do Tides.

Yeah I agree. But I would just want some changes made that would modernise it a wee bit and add in some extra content, small stuff, nothing majour. Bring it up to a level where it feels as good as people remember in their minds, cause it HAS aged.

Planescape is so outdated though, it's like advising a Diablo 4 newbie who now loves CRPGs to go back and play Diablo 1 over Path of Excile which is a pretty lack luster game if we're being honest.

Planescape hold up much better than diablo I, imo.
But I see your point... you have to install mods to get it to run high resolutions ect ect.
Out of the box, there can be issues just getting it to run, its that old.
However gameplay wise, there no issues with it.
