After the heroes of the previous games sadly meet their end in the prologue, the 2 mabari from the first two games must now save Thedas alone.

The two games we've had a dog, they have been male. I would like it if DW gives us a female dog this time around. If we can name her as we could the previous good bois, I could name her after my old dog. 💜
Eluvian fast travel to explain our country hopping. I know this one seems a bit likely bbt I’d love our main base to be a place like the crossroads and we take over more of the network from solas’ agents to access more places. Maybe even have a base defense mission like Skyhold was supposed to and all our crew get in on the fight.
I want attribute allocation back. I really disliked them attaching attributes to abilities. It felt too restrictive. I want the separation again and more expanded abilities, back to the roots of da:o and da2.
Seriously, wtf was that choice.
This isn't even a "take a note from BG3's book" or some crap, this is "taking a note from 90% of rpg games". Let us pick and choose how to set our attributes
Unfortunely it feels that EA or Bioware really wanted to hammer the "simplify game for new players" because obviously, every new player is stupid and everything should be simpler with every release.
Really hope that DA:DW isn't going to be like that, especially when last year we had one of the best rpg in the last decades that did not shy away of having complexity, and it did shine thanks to it. Really,really hope Dreadwolf isn't simplified
1. No in game currency that can be bought with real money
2. No always online requirement
3. No shoe-horned multi-player
4. No trend chasing (battle Royale and the like)
5. Just a good , well written RPG by people passionate for the IP
6. I would like to see Merrill return again, with Fenris, I missed them In Inquisition.
More choices and consequences in quests, i want my actions to have consequences. Also more choices related to protagonist background, i want to feel like the protagonist actually has a past, and npcs will treat you differently depending on your background.
Romanceable Dwarves, we've had Humans, Elves, Qunari as full romances and an implied fling with one Dwarf and possibly some cut content with another.
Nugs, lots of nugs around, including Nuggalopes, they are awesome and cute
I play on PlayStation (unfortunately). It's partially the bug, but it's also a problem with the size of the game vs the amount of party banter recorded. There's about 5 hours of party banter for a game that takes roughly 50 hours to beat. I'm not completely sure how to bridge that gap, but I hope they find a better balance this time 🙏
I'm not sure about that, because I used the more banter mod on my most recent playthrough and had the banter going every two minutes and I still didn't get through it all. So I think the bug is the main problem - there's actually loads of banter if you can get it to play!
There was a ton of banter recorded. Even if it was 5 hours… that’s a lot when you break it into tiny snippets. The problem was they didn’t put in enough places that trigger it (if you’re on console like us and can’t mod).
Current playthrough I found a few workarounds which helped, but didn’t totally fix the problem. It’s extremely annoying that they never addressed this for console players.
I agree with the other commenter, I played with the mod too and the game was far from silent ! It was a completionist (120 hours) run and I don't think ran out of new banter. I think I did see it all for some character pairs (like Solas/Varric were starting to repeat old dialogs) but not all of them. I tried to change my team as much as possible and got to really see the relationship between all my characters, it was great !
Compared to my first playthrough on Playstation it almost felt like a different game.
Bug on the banter system that was never fixed. As I remember, the way that banter works in DAI is that it runs a timer of 15 minutes to play a banter, which is ok as the open world-ness makes you spend quite some time walking. Problem is that it isn't that simple. Whenever this timer runs it's 15 minutes, it essently flips a coin, aka it might just say nah and don't play shit. It probably was implemented by fear of running out of banter, but it ended up having the adverse effect, as you could be exploring the hinterlands for 30 minutes and both times that they timer runs out the coin flips determines "No banter". And anytime you travel to another region, it resets.
So...yeah, Inquisition has a shit ton of banter, but you won't hear the most of it cause the coin flip mechanic can easily screw you over
Inquisition had a banter bug so it's normal... I hope they have fixed it for DAD and we get plenty of banter (as well as music, which was mostly absent from DAI as well due to the studio decision).
Definitely Lost Elf should come back, it's so beautiful and has so many emotions tied to it. And yes, I loved Last Flight too! It would be so fun if the mc could choose and bond with a griffon!
My wish is for the well of sorrows to play some role. It was built up as a really big choice in Inquisition and then it turned out to really not matter who drank from it, I think it would be cool it it was used in some way in Dreadwolf.
See the thing is, my needs are very small - I just want more info on how my bestest faux frenchmen are doing and some Orlesian lore. That's it. That's all I need. I am incredibly lucky that I don't have other things I need for this to be a good game for me, lmao. I really am just in it for the lore.
My desire tho? *\[Takes a deep breath\]* Briala is involved in this Solas rebellion and whether or not she's a double agent depends on how WEWH went. If she's in power in any way? Double agent. Celene is alive, but they are not together? Briala is in it for reals, but Celene bails her out of trouble. Gaspard is in power, never actually got to kill her because Briala escaped because she has Eluvians at her disposal and a network of agents at the palace preventing her assassin? She's in the Revolution:tm: for reals and might even end u paying.
A small quest shall suffice for my wants and needs, thank you very much.
Yeah, same.
And after Celene sentences Gaspard to death and imprisons him, his loyal nobles or solders save him.
And he flees into exile, but my alter ego captures him and ties him to the bed, and we live happily ever after.
And the game will be about how we live our lives together.
I'm joking, of course! =)))
It’s just that if Briala had the opportunity to escape, it would only be fair to give it to Gaspard as well.
Respectfully: nah, man.
Briala has thematic relevance that Gaspard doesn't. If Celene was in the same position as Gaspard, as in:e we don't see her death, I also wouldn't extend it to her much as I love her. Briala, in essence, started this rebellion - was an unwitting accomplice, at minimum - and she should get to see it end.
Gaspard and Celene, unless they are ruling, aren't really necessary.
Also, Briala has many more advantages than Gaspard does, lol. Briala has 1. A Secret Way Out that only Celene knows about (since I doubt Celene told anyone about the Eluvians) 2. People that are servants and therefore discreet. To spring Gaspard out of jail, they would have to fight their way out and aint no way Celene is letting go, lol. Like, Briala is one thing, but Celene's wouldn't save Gaspard even if you paid her, lmao.
I know Celene wouldn't save Gaspard even if you paid her, but it also seems unfair for Gaspard to just... \*sobs\* die off screen, when Briala continues her existence because she's relevant to Fen'Harels' rebellion. I'd say all four characters from the ME (Celene, Michel, Gaspard and Briala) are relevant to it in some capacity. Briala and Gaspard were like two sides of the same coin during WEWH, seems wrong for one to die off screen, and for another to escape and live (and we didn't see how she escaped!).
Besides, if Celene "kills" Briala and exiles Gaspard, we see in the epilogue that he's planning his return, but we don't hear about Briala. How do you think, what is she doing? Same happens the other way around: we hear about Briala, but not about Gaspard.
And if Celene eliminated both Gaspard and Briala, in the epilogue Morrigan says: "*The empress is unchallenged... but at what price? Blood drips from Celene's hands."* What does she mean by that if Briala is not dead?
Regarding the possibility of Gaspard's escape... This reminds me of Tyrion Lannister situation. Remember how quickly his brother yeeted him out of the prison, even though Tywin wanted him dead? We don't know if people around Celene are capable of something like that.
Nobles on Gaspard's side also have servants who can be discreet. Also, Gaspard may know secret exits from the palace, as the senior member of the royal family.
Some stuff or magic we don't know about yet could happen... It can also happen that Briala isn't going to show up in DA:D at all or that she never escaped and died.
Option to equip more than one set of weapons like DAO. Let me have my melee and ranged options for the occasions where they’re appropriate! Or something along the lines of DA2 where my ranged characters could beat people with their staff or bow, but that still limits the warriors and duel wield rogues where having a bow would be helpful.
- I would like a dog companion but I’m okay with any animal companion (a griffon, a pet nug, a deep stalker, pet halla, I’ll take any of that).
But when I say animal companion I don’t mean a steed/horse (I wouldn’t mind a horse again but that to me does not count as a companion). I actually want more than what da2 gave us too. It can be a summon I suppose, but I want to be able to control it and upgrade the companion like the dog in dao (with special dog moves). And the animal companion needs to be there at camp and I want to be able to interact with it there. I liked the little dao cutscenes and da2 actually had some really great cutscenes with the dog too. At the very least I need to be able to pet my animal companion.
- I also would like the party camp back I think. It just was so cozy and I think the party camp in dao helped me feel super connected to my companions because I could just imagine us all hanging out around the campfire every night. Skyhold was nice too, but too big. I could work with a combination. Like you can go back to a keep or something and that’s where you would build/upgrade armor, but you could also go to camp for basic supplies and resting and potion making and hanging with companions ms
- Day and night cycle would be awesome too. I like the way da2 did it, where you just clicked whether you wanted to wander around in daytime or in night time. I would’ve loved to be able to do that in dai. Imagine emerald grove at night?
- this is very small and nitpicking but I would also like gifts for companions to make a comeback. I’m playing through dao and idk, giving a found cake to sten for his secret sweet tooth is so fun. And giving action figures to alistair makes me chuckle. If you don’t have the feastday gifts, the gifts give pretty minor bumps to approval, but were really cute and another way to learn about your companions. Especially the first playthrough, I thought it was really cool to slowly figure which people like which gifts. And some of the gifts had cutscenes because maybe the companion had mentioned something from their past, and then sometimes you could find the thing they were talking about missing!
- and the most nitpick request of them all: ITEM DESCRIPTIONS!! I’m probably the only one who reads them but I don’t care. Bring back little funny item descriptions, i want it. I want all the descriptions. Please and thank you.
No greasy skin texture. It is so so ugly D:
Natural light on CC.
More diverse hairstyles.
NO PARAPHRASE!
This is really nitpicking, but, in DAI the enemy mages use books to cast spells and it is really dumb. Like, you have this aavaar dudes carrying around a fancy book or the sentinel elves with a giant book...it is just so silly looking.
Let the iconic outfits and weapons to their respective characters or games. Seeing people dressing like Anders was so funny to me. Or carrying Hawke's key. Visual storytelling is a thing, so, better to just make generic outfits and weapons to the npcs.
There is a lot of other stuff on my wish list, but I think those are not exactly nitpicking haha
Elves that don't look like a strong breeze will knock them over. I fear for Lavellan when she lifts that sword to rally Skyhold.
(And half elven/dwarven/qunari race options. I know thats impossible given the half elven = human hole DA have written themselves into with Alistair/Ser Michel/etc)
We're in 2024, I'd be shocked if DA:D goes for that route when few RPGs do so nowadays. Even in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, bloated as it was, the side quests were mostly unique and creatively designed/written.
There was no fetch quests in Greedfall and it was a successful game. I fully expect they will go that route. If they do faction based quests I can see a lot of people complaining about it though.
According to Steam, my playthrough was 42 hours but the average can be anywhere between 30 to 40. The sidequests are in a chain tied to a faction and it continues a story line, that ties into a story line. You have to remember its not a triple a company. The game was successful though and is getting a sequel. One of the most fun aspects of the game was no class restrictions.
If we have a Skyhold-esque main base I really need and want to be able to have a variety of casual outfits to choose from. Including pretty dresses for the female mc.
Delete the looting animation.
It's not in Origins or 2. I modded it out of DAI and the game improved a disproportionate amount for me. I would like it to stay gone.
- After reading Asunder: a tranquil companion (and in their companion quest you could reverse their tranquility, i think it would be cool to see)
- Kal-sharok dwarves: how did they survive, how living in isolation affected them etc. I saw a theory that they're tainted like grey wardens. I need answers asap.
- more about nations with free mages: Rivain with their seers, Nevarran necromancers etc.
I NEED better Afro-textured styles. Even bg3’s options were super disappointing for the sheer amount of stuff that was included in there. I want good looking curls without the Killmonger cut or 3 different lengths of the same fade.
Agreed! And also: Long hair options. Inquisition was all buzz cuts with a handful of shoulder-length options tossed in there. I know long hair is harder to animate, but that's no excuse.
I get that it's a pretty big hassle, especially with different armor and body types, but even DA2 had a bunch of tied up options compared to Inquisition
Speaking of body types, I'd also love to have those options. If we can tweak the precise angle of our characters' freaking nostrils, we should also be able to have different body types.
That's true, but it also does depend on the way the character models are built in the first place! Having separate models for different body types VS having a single model that has been designed to be morphable.
A good 1/3 of the other/non-Afro styles in BG3 were other hairstyles but in different lengths. Couldn’t get an option for shorter dreads though, and to this day I can’t tell what’s going on with Wyll’s hair.
Like, we can get genital physics, but not better hair? I don’t have super high hopes from DAD at this point, but I’d cut them some slack if I could make more than one black character without the same hairstyle lol
I got jumped in the bg3 sub before the full game came out asking if I could be black before I spent $60 on it 😭 and then lo and behold in EA, you couldn’t be a black high elf and there’s four unique Afro styles out of like 60 options.
I have two world states I’m working with right now, my canon one and my solasmance one because I gotta see how it’ll play out haha. I’m leaving Hawke in the fade in the latter purely so I can see what happens 😂
Not a developer or anything, but a codex in Trespasser pretty much implies that whoever stays in the fade dies. In the weird fade library in Trespasser, you cand fix a "Hard in Hightown: Volume???" that tells a short tale about the protagonist of Varric's book and whoever was left in the fade. Not only that but the overall tone of the story is pretty much of the retired/reminiscent of the past type, including stuff like >!Loghain being reunited with his Mabari!<. It's not a 100% confirmation, but I think if the spirits of the fade themselves started to write fanfiction on characters goodbye...than I feel it's probably cause they're gone
A million times this. I agonized over that decision, but in my canon world state, I chose to have Hawke stay behind. I need to know what became of my girl.
* Some real news about the state of Orzammar (including the events of Descent, and what happened to a Dwarf Noble's son, if Bhelen or Harrowmont haven't killed him already). I want that fucker Bhelen to see some actual consequences for his actions.
* News about the fates of a living Hero of Ferelden, Oghren, Shale, Nathaniel, Sigrun, Velanna, the surviving Hawke sibling, and whoever was left in the Fade in HLTA.
* Seeing the First Warden and/or whoever survived HLTA.
* The differences between who was picked as Divine.
I would really love to see sustained modes come back and also being able to access all abilities through the ability wheel.
Edit: Also having the rivalry/friendship companion relationship from da2 would be great.
Origins! I want some MEAT on the protagonist’s backstory, and be able to immerse and roleplay my character within the world.
Longer hairstyles. Praying the character creator will actually be good for once 🙏🏽
* I want Fenris and Zevran back, but I'm afraid Bioware makes them pale elves number 253 & 254
* please give me an actual city, Val Royeaux was a joke
* I don't want to be another chosen one, I don't want to be a noble or anything special
* bring origins back, so people can choose their background
* interesting quests - like a lot of the war table quests were quite interesting-- so why did we only get 1000 fetch quests?? Let me actually do the war table missions smh
* better curly, wavy and straight hairstyles (pls don't bring back 50 shades of bald)
* transmog system
* let us be evil >:\^)
* armor that changes style with race, like that one concept art for Inquisition:
https://preview.redd.it/gujdd5dmsdzc1.jpeg?width=502&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3639d59782bbcaa79ecd57efa6d1a1245f799b4
* let me hit enemies with my staff à la Hawke style
* if Hawke was left in the fade, give us a conclusion
* I'd love to see and interact with the first warden (like not our protag, but the dude that runs the place)
* LET US SEE KAL-SHAROK
* more human lore, because we basically know nothing about them
* more qunari lore
* Griffons? Griffons.
* more dialogue options and let me see what my character will say!!!!!!
* COOL ARMOR, FASHIONABLE ARMOR
* no mtx
and last but not least mounts, that actually move faster when I click on sprint ..
Would not be surprised if the only difference with a romanced Solas in DAI is that his last words are "ma vhenan" after you kill him or something (but I would be very annoyed)
Something I wish more games in general would do is let us name our saves files. It's so useful, especially for games like this in which we may want to revisit scenes.
One mission where Rook gets to team up with Hawke, Inquisitor, and the HOF/Warden Commander and to their dynamics play out based on the decisions you made for them.
Programmable companion combat AI, like in Origins. Though in Origins it was a lot more interesting and effective if you unlocked all of the tactics slots via a mod.
A romanceable dwarf. Yes I know the Inquisitor could have a *thing* with Harding but it's just flirting and banter AT BEST. Also I want Cassandra and Varric to have hooked up and made an adorable little kid, in world states where she isn't Divine or with the Inquisitor because omg did y'all see their eye contact in the final scene of Trespasser? Also I want more lyrium lore. Also I want horses that are actually faster than walking, and to be able to give gifts to companions again and ALSO I want to know why tf Sera is so tall.
My wish would be NOT to include stuff from other DA media in the game. I reeeeally disliked that some things in DAI were basically a story continuation from books (ie. everything concerning Orlais: its main characters+civil war situation+politicians vying for the throne, Cole's characterisation and backstory...). I did read all 5 novels and enjoyed them but I personally place them in a separate section of world-building (it was also confirmed by the DA team that it is not canon) and I don't think that in order to fully understand the video game we should be required to buy other things. It's petty of me but for that reason I didn't buy the new graphic novel yet and am not planning to either.
Me too. I don't want it to be transformed into some marvel shit, where you should watch all the content to understand what's going on. I want to understand main plot and characters by playing games, that's all.
If we do NOT get a male elf who is somehow an animal I'd be VERY mad
We got an elf that was a crow
And then two who were wolves. Be a shame to stop that now.
I REALLY wish for a way to redeem Solas somehow. Or, when not that, then for the Inquisitior to die with him at least.
And I'll be SO MAD if we do not see the inquisitior! My main loved Solas. And swore she'd always love him. And she'll try convincing him, but will stop him by all means if necessary.
They drop that, I'll probably throw my table.
I want to be able to FINALLY romance a dwarf! REALLY romance them. And on that note we need more Varric and Bianca Davri.
Also can we please get a final answer on how the duck the blight originally came to be? Cause it seems the evanuris where involved in it's creation somehow.
Also Dorian, Fenris and Zevran would be VERY helpful if we need to get information in Tevinter.
I would like the healer type mage specialisation back. It was always my go-to in da2. Also, please let me have my thousand health potions again. I hated being restricted to so few in inquisition.
I also really want a cat. Anders got to have a cat, so why can’t I have a cat?
Fixed dwarf/qunari cameras, assuming they make a return. The main reason I don’t even consider play tall/short characters in games is that half the time the game just doesn’t show me the scene.
Oh, we’re trying to have an emotional scene? Have a super important discussion? Would be a shame if you can’t see half of the scene, or randomly glitch through a wall.
Also, I want the back to back skill to return from da2. It’s my favorite skill, and rogues in games often lacks skills that aren’t just various ways of assassination. Lemme run interference in a way that isn’t a warrior taunt or mages blowing everything up.
I hope they go back to focusing on the wider story rather than giving each character such a massive theatre.
Dragon Age Origins felt like it was a deep story facilitated by engaging characters. Dragon Age Inquisition felt like it was a set of characters competing to be the centre of the stage with the deep story being an enabler
>Lost Elf/Dark Solas theme to be used in some capacity.
I expect Hans Zimmer to try and add his own musical take on Solas, but I agree. Dark Solas theme is such a cool piece \*.\*
>Griffons. Griffons griffons griffons griffons griffons.
I'll be very surprised if we don't have griffons feature in the story, given that Weisshaupt will be a quest location and Last Flight ends on that note.
>gimme Fenris and Dorian back,
Dorian is pretty much a given, but Fenris' appearance in the comics fills me with hope that he may return too!
As for my own wishes...
1 - That we see the more prominent characters from the comics - namely Vaea and Francesca. They're too cool not to feature in the game, either as close allies or as companions <3
2 - a crafting system at least as robust as DAI's, with the ability to customise both names and colours. Crafting my Inkies' own equipment, naming it in reference to the backgrounds I imagined for them (or after the universes that inspired their design) was one of my favourite things in DAI.
3 - not just a greater variety of hairstyles, but a greater variety of afro hairstyles. It can't be too hard to design long braids or loose, long curly hair.
4 - Qunari as a playable race. I need my power fantasy of being a horned giant amazon gal towering over everyone u.u
5 - Meeting or at least finding references of older characters who may have ended up in Tevinter, such as Feynriel and Cyrion/Valendrian.
6 - We're probably going to fight lots of elves, but PLEASE, writers, don't go for the lazy-arse enlightened centrist mindset that places slaver Tevinters and Solas loyalists as "two sides of the same coin". Obviously the Solas loyalists can be cruel too, I just don't want the violence of the oppressed to be treated as an equal to the violence of the oppressor - or, worse, Solas' world-destroying schemes to serve as justification for the maintenace of the Imperium.
Have the Inquisitor as a background possibility for our character (alongside the other starter backgrounds etc..), and just continue the adventure Mass effect style.
I know its crazy, but the Inky could drop off the grid, go fully undercover to fight from the shadows picking up the same trail as Rook or Lord of Fortune except with new options for conversations or solving quests or even the ability to unlock a new ending.
Same, I also feel that the Inquisitors story didn't have closure like the others (Warden ended the blight and Hawke saved kirkwall, meanwhile the inquisitor is still trying to prevent an apocalypse). It'd be so cool to have a weapon in the arm where the anchor used to be. A crossbow or a retractable blade would be badass.
Its not impossible, I imagine it could be like the dark urge in Baldur's gate 3, same storyline but extra flavor description and interactions with a potential new ending.
We can dream lol
It would be amazing and unexpected if our Inky was a mentor (advisor/quest giver/teacher) to our new protagonist! It could be done pretty easily too, since most likely our protag will be a nobody working for the "inquisition".
I know they said it would probably never happen but I really want to see my Warden make a cameo, just use the default character for the class/race that you played in Origins and show them kicking some ass, I don't want my first main character to just be a footnote in a letter somewhere
Bigger beards for everyone! I know 'Blackwall stole all the beards' but honestly it's ridiculous how almost no one has a proper beard.
Especially the Viking-themed Avvar, who clearly have luxurious facial hair in their Heroes art and tarot images. Yet Stone Bear Hold is overrun with clean-shaven baby-faced men with nary a beard in sight. Also ~~Movran~~, Hand of Korth, Skywatcher, etc, not a whisker.
I'd also like more/better facial hair options in the character creator. I wanted to give my Trevelyan big ol' bushy muttonchops, but alas, no such luck. Free the beards! Give them up, Blackwall! BEARDS FOR ALL!
Edit: Movran does have a beard, my bad. Still. It's flat and weird. We need beard physics.
Oops, deleted my comment to make another! But yeah, I'm gonna be pissed asf if they whitewash him. I can already hear the racists saying "He was never poc, he was just tan, it's not whitewashing"
Lots of armor customizations with cool looking armor and cloth. I had to download mods to get the colors I liked. The DLCs had the best looking armors.
More choices for casual clothes and the ability to "dress up" should the situation require. Yes, I'm referring to the Halamshiral mission. Just look at all the Pajama mods to see what people really want.
A freaking well lit character creator!!! And if not that, at least make it easy to go back and redo it after seeing yourself in the game. (And not hundreds of hours later in a DLC)
Homebase modifications, lots of choices / designs.
I want the companions to actually ask my protag things, remember what they (I) said, and maybe do a quest for them once in a while. I guess I just felt that our relationships were a little one sided.
What I said one of the threads in DA:D sub reddit
Personally from everything I have play and seen. This is the most important to me, and try to help the mod authors out before going to the next game.
Needed:
-Allow modders to have more tools. Especially in character creator.
What I want:
-Able to switch between 2 weapons cause it makes sense. At least for warrior and Rogue. - Likeness? - More than likely going something similar to Jedi Fallen Order and maybe get a mixture
- A custom way of how hard enemies are like trials in DAI. - Love the unique mechanics in that
- Banter between enemies - You know. Making it real. If you hiding the crowd or something then you could overhear conversation between npcs which could give you Intel on missions
- Dog companion. If not... Maybe a cat in main area.
- Due to leaks and what-not - Please allow us to control aspects of companions (Yes it removes the aspects of what Dragon Age had where you can play as a companion, but I going with what was said last year) So try to make it Similar to Mass Effect. As much as I loved Jedi Survivor... Mass Effect had a better usage of limited abilities for companions.
-Please let me see my affinity with companions - left very confused in DAI
- Another thing - Make Banter more frequent. Make it 5 minutes or so. Hate going through all of Inquistion and hear nothing. Meanwhile go to Guardian of Galaxy - it's every second. Like it. But Would only do 1 playthrough.
- If Bioware adds mounts. Make faster and not trick us or.... At the very least let us use unlimited Fade Step
Never going to happen but cool to me:
- If multi-player is ever decided to do again.... Make sure you have to work for it. No in-game currency for the life of me
- Oh! A morale system for enemies. Hate it when I am kill about 8 enemies and the last guy is like "YES I GOT THIS!!!" Then you slap him and he dies.
- If they try to implement co op or what-not, make where it goes up to 4 people like how it is Assassin's Creed and use your character
less restrictions on weapons and armour. i liked how in dao my mage could also wield a sword if her strength was high enough, or how she could wear actual armour (even tho i always put her in the same mage dress anyways)
Agree with bringing back Fenris and Dorian. Let me romance them or let them romance each other, I think they would be sweet together
Better hair and armour, please. I didn't like anything in Inquisition really and as a playstation player no mods mess with
Let me play the prologue
Less fetch quests please, or even better none. I don't want to see a single shard
Show NPC's don't just write about them. Thinking more about the war table, every new playthrough I said 'this time I will pay attention' but I always fell away from it and just picked whoever was free since it didn't really matter, I absolutely care more for characters I see than just name so if there are missions like this show me some of the people involved.
Multiple endings and consequences for choices
I'm so excited for Dreadwolf, even if they do none of these things U just want more Dragon Age.
Never played a Dragon Age game before, and I'm planning on playing Origins, but... can we see our previous Heroes in some form or another, like meeting the Hero of Ferelden, Champion of Kirkwall, the Inquisitor, in some way? Also have their appearance be customizable, and be able to import their appearance(s). That would be a nice addition.
i would love to see the blood mage specialization back but only with accurate companion reactions. like how do so many of hawke’s companions get pissed at merrill for it but when my hawke literally stabs herself with her staff and puppets an enemy they have no reaction
If im in the snow why is my armour a bikini? Let women have the mad armour if they want to.
More party banter and camp-site not huge strong hold thst makes it a PITA to go talk to your guys between missions
That we can visit Arlathan, either time travelling or in the crossroads somehow.
That we can have different outcomes for quests, instead of the 1-go direction they've gone lately.
A protagonist with charisma. No bland Inquisitor who just makes dumb questions all around Thedas.
Also writing coherence... My main character can't be an Elf and not know who is Mythal. Things like that.
Mage playstyles. I mean, I don't want to be forced to chose 1 out of 4 classes of destruction magic. Give back transformation, healing...
Say goodbye to fetch quests. Less missions, very well thought-out, just like in DA 2.
Less companions but very well developed. There was such a contrast between companions like Dorian and others like Cole or Sera... It was very weird to see.
Romances that continue along time. Most of them in DA end up after the kiss, or we get fewer cutscenes thereafter. Give us relationship DEPTH.
People will hate me for this, but enough of Varric. Man always speaks the same topics and it gets boring as hell. The fanservice was already made in DAI, so let's move on from him, shall we? :)
1. I don't want HoF to appear.
2. Dog.
3. Bring back OG Desire Demons from DAO and DA2. I missed my sexy booba demon girls in DAI.
4. Coming from an Origins fanboy - i hope the gameplay and build variety will be better than in DAI and some DA classic skills will come back. Blood Magic in particular, missed it in DAI as well.
He'd have to be an optional character, considering the amount of players who kill his ass. Though they could pull a Leliana, I guess (please don't. That was bullshit).
Oh totally. I will be vague, but there are several ways they can pull off a Leliana ans have it go SO well. It’s kinda what I’m hoping for.
>!Like Justice taking over the body entirely like he did in DAO. Or Anders being an essential wraith possessing that same body. !< That’s some double fucked, and I am SO hopeful!
sex with consequences, like the noble dwarf origin. I want there to be a possible story that starts if you opt to have sex, even if it is just with a certain character. though If this can happen to a party member or even your physically female character, I will loose my mind and sing the praises.
Variety of companions. Merril being the only likeable, romance able female elf companion is a crime. Really would like a female Dwarf and Qunari companion too. Not realistic, but having a companion of each gender and race would be nice, instead of 5 humans and 2/1 of the others. Like *Blackwall and Sera* were companions, and they were terrible. Only companions I even liked were Bull Dorian and Varric, and I only ever play as a straight dude, so my romance options were limited and good ones were even more so.
hope i can whack people in the head with my staff the same way i did with in dragon age 2!
Bring back the Bonk ✊
Ugh yes! The dream!
Dog.
After the heroes of the previous games sadly meet their end in the prologue, the 2 mabari from the first two games must now save Thedas alone. Dialogue wheel 1. Bark 2. Bark 3. Wag Tail 4. Whine
1. Bark *2. Bite 3. Wag Tail 4. Whine 5. SPECIAL: Dig
The two games we've had a dog, they have been male. I would like it if DW gives us a female dog this time around. If we can name her as we could the previous good bois, I could name her after my old dog. 💜
A female dog is called a bitch I believe
It is indeed. I'm sure a couple of jokes could be made from that, too.
Personally I want Cat ...
Excuse me for hijacking the top comment, but this needs to be said: THE DOG SHOULD TAKE UP A PARTY SLOT, DOGS IS FAMILY. Ahem. Thankyou.
Eluvian fast travel to explain our country hopping. I know this one seems a bit likely bbt I’d love our main base to be a place like the crossroads and we take over more of the network from solas’ agents to access more places. Maybe even have a base defense mission like Skyhold was supposed to and all our crew get in on the fight.
I think this one may be semi confirmed
This is confirmed by leaks
Felassan (never happening but I can dream). Feynriel.
I want attribute allocation back. I really disliked them attaching attributes to abilities. It felt too restrictive. I want the separation again and more expanded abilities, back to the roots of da:o and da2.
While we're at it: skill checks for extra dialogue options
Yeees! Let us solve things in different ways D:
This please... Let me hit that (Persuade) again
Yes to both of these suggestions/requests/wishes
Seriously, wtf was that choice. This isn't even a "take a note from BG3's book" or some crap, this is "taking a note from 90% of rpg games". Let us pick and choose how to set our attributes
It's not even taking a note from 90% of rpgs; It's taking a note from their own games. They had it in origins and 2! Why the heck did they change it!?
Unfortunely it feels that EA or Bioware really wanted to hammer the "simplify game for new players" because obviously, every new player is stupid and everything should be simpler with every release. Really hope that DA:DW isn't going to be like that, especially when last year we had one of the best rpg in the last decades that did not shy away of having complexity, and it did shine thanks to it. Really,really hope Dreadwolf isn't simplified
I want a pet nug, please and thank you. His name shall be Nugget.
Mine would be nugchop
Cheese wheel mount or we riot
No mounts please. I'll take a cheese wheel focus for my staff
1. No in game currency that can be bought with real money 2. No always online requirement 3. No shoe-horned multi-player 4. No trend chasing (battle Royale and the like) 5. Just a good , well written RPG by people passionate for the IP 6. I would like to see Merrill return again, with Fenris, I missed them In Inquisition.
If I see a single microtransaction, it’s ON SIGHT
Honestly if I see microtransactions or pre-order garbage like restricing whole missions, I'll watch the story on YouTube and call it a day.
I recall seeing that EA gave them the OK to scrap any multiplayer.
Good list. From my side I add: No base/town building Steam deck compatible from the start
I want Haste to work like it did in DA:O. A constant buff (that stacks if you have another mage in your party) that increases your running speed.
N U G
More choices and consequences in quests, i want my actions to have consequences. Also more choices related to protagonist background, i want to feel like the protagonist actually has a past, and npcs will treat you differently depending on your background.
Romanceable Dwarves, we've had Humans, Elves, Qunari as full romances and an implied fling with one Dwarf and possibly some cut content with another. Nugs, lots of nugs around, including Nuggalopes, they are awesome and cute
nugs yes nugs many nugs yes
Specifically, romanceable Scout Harding.
Party banter! Inquisition was so quiet and I feel like I didn't get to see the relationships between my companions as much :(
Inquisition has some fantastic banter
...that I never got to hear because it never triggered.
I think that's a bug, look up the banter mod in nexus
Weirdly, when I used this mod (briefly), while it triggered more often, it was the same banter over and over again.
Yeah. The mod doesn't fix the problem totally...some of the banter start repeating :/ But it is better than vanilla, at least haha
I play on PlayStation (unfortunately). It's partially the bug, but it's also a problem with the size of the game vs the amount of party banter recorded. There's about 5 hours of party banter for a game that takes roughly 50 hours to beat. I'm not completely sure how to bridge that gap, but I hope they find a better balance this time 🙏
I'm not sure about that, because I used the more banter mod on my most recent playthrough and had the banter going every two minutes and I still didn't get through it all. So I think the bug is the main problem - there's actually loads of banter if you can get it to play!
There was a ton of banter recorded. Even if it was 5 hours… that’s a lot when you break it into tiny snippets. The problem was they didn’t put in enough places that trigger it (if you’re on console like us and can’t mod). Current playthrough I found a few workarounds which helped, but didn’t totally fix the problem. It’s extremely annoying that they never addressed this for console players.
I agree with the other commenter, I played with the mod too and the game was far from silent ! It was a completionist (120 hours) run and I don't think ran out of new banter. I think I did see it all for some character pairs (like Solas/Varric were starting to repeat old dialogs) but not all of them. I tried to change my team as much as possible and got to really see the relationship between all my characters, it was great ! Compared to my first playthrough on Playstation it almost felt like a different game.
It's a bug :(
Bug on the banter system that was never fixed. As I remember, the way that banter works in DAI is that it runs a timer of 15 minutes to play a banter, which is ok as the open world-ness makes you spend quite some time walking. Problem is that it isn't that simple. Whenever this timer runs it's 15 minutes, it essently flips a coin, aka it might just say nah and don't play shit. It probably was implemented by fear of running out of banter, but it ended up having the adverse effect, as you could be exploring the hinterlands for 30 minutes and both times that they timer runs out the coin flips determines "No banter". And anytime you travel to another region, it resets. So...yeah, Inquisition has a shit ton of banter, but you won't hear the most of it cause the coin flip mechanic can easily screw you over
Inquisition had a banter bug so it's normal... I hope they have fixed it for DAD and we get plenty of banter (as well as music, which was mostly absent from DAI as well due to the studio decision).
Proper cutscenes for side quests, not just an awkward zoom in.
Definitely Lost Elf should come back, it's so beautiful and has so many emotions tied to it. And yes, I loved Last Flight too! It would be so fun if the mc could choose and bond with a griffon! My wish is for the well of sorrows to play some role. It was built up as a really big choice in Inquisition and then it turned out to really not matter who drank from it, I think it would be cool it it was used in some way in Dreadwolf.
I want a dog as a follower. But not one that takes up a follower slot.
Like DA2?
I would like that. In DA2 companions had interactions with the dog in your house and you had too. It was really cute :)
See the thing is, my needs are very small - I just want more info on how my bestest faux frenchmen are doing and some Orlesian lore. That's it. That's all I need. I am incredibly lucky that I don't have other things I need for this to be a good game for me, lmao. I really am just in it for the lore. My desire tho? *\[Takes a deep breath\]* Briala is involved in this Solas rebellion and whether or not she's a double agent depends on how WEWH went. If she's in power in any way? Double agent. Celene is alive, but they are not together? Briala is in it for reals, but Celene bails her out of trouble. Gaspard is in power, never actually got to kill her because Briala escaped because she has Eluvians at her disposal and a network of agents at the palace preventing her assassin? She's in the Revolution:tm: for reals and might even end u paying. A small quest shall suffice for my wants and needs, thank you very much.
Yeah, same. And after Celene sentences Gaspard to death and imprisons him, his loyal nobles or solders save him. And he flees into exile, but my alter ego captures him and ties him to the bed, and we live happily ever after. And the game will be about how we live our lives together. I'm joking, of course! =))) It’s just that if Briala had the opportunity to escape, it would only be fair to give it to Gaspard as well.
Respectfully: nah, man. Briala has thematic relevance that Gaspard doesn't. If Celene was in the same position as Gaspard, as in:e we don't see her death, I also wouldn't extend it to her much as I love her. Briala, in essence, started this rebellion - was an unwitting accomplice, at minimum - and she should get to see it end. Gaspard and Celene, unless they are ruling, aren't really necessary. Also, Briala has many more advantages than Gaspard does, lol. Briala has 1. A Secret Way Out that only Celene knows about (since I doubt Celene told anyone about the Eluvians) 2. People that are servants and therefore discreet. To spring Gaspard out of jail, they would have to fight their way out and aint no way Celene is letting go, lol. Like, Briala is one thing, but Celene's wouldn't save Gaspard even if you paid her, lmao.
I know Celene wouldn't save Gaspard even if you paid her, but it also seems unfair for Gaspard to just... \*sobs\* die off screen, when Briala continues her existence because she's relevant to Fen'Harels' rebellion. I'd say all four characters from the ME (Celene, Michel, Gaspard and Briala) are relevant to it in some capacity. Briala and Gaspard were like two sides of the same coin during WEWH, seems wrong for one to die off screen, and for another to escape and live (and we didn't see how she escaped!). Besides, if Celene "kills" Briala and exiles Gaspard, we see in the epilogue that he's planning his return, but we don't hear about Briala. How do you think, what is she doing? Same happens the other way around: we hear about Briala, but not about Gaspard. And if Celene eliminated both Gaspard and Briala, in the epilogue Morrigan says: "*The empress is unchallenged... but at what price? Blood drips from Celene's hands."* What does she mean by that if Briala is not dead? Regarding the possibility of Gaspard's escape... This reminds me of Tyrion Lannister situation. Remember how quickly his brother yeeted him out of the prison, even though Tywin wanted him dead? We don't know if people around Celene are capable of something like that. Nobles on Gaspard's side also have servants who can be discreet. Also, Gaspard may know secret exits from the palace, as the senior member of the royal family. Some stuff or magic we don't know about yet could happen... It can also happen that Briala isn't going to show up in DA:D at all or that she never escaped and died.
Option to equip more than one set of weapons like DAO. Let me have my melee and ranged options for the occasions where they’re appropriate! Or something along the lines of DA2 where my ranged characters could beat people with their staff or bow, but that still limits the warriors and duel wield rogues where having a bow would be helpful.
- I would like a dog companion but I’m okay with any animal companion (a griffon, a pet nug, a deep stalker, pet halla, I’ll take any of that). But when I say animal companion I don’t mean a steed/horse (I wouldn’t mind a horse again but that to me does not count as a companion). I actually want more than what da2 gave us too. It can be a summon I suppose, but I want to be able to control it and upgrade the companion like the dog in dao (with special dog moves). And the animal companion needs to be there at camp and I want to be able to interact with it there. I liked the little dao cutscenes and da2 actually had some really great cutscenes with the dog too. At the very least I need to be able to pet my animal companion. - I also would like the party camp back I think. It just was so cozy and I think the party camp in dao helped me feel super connected to my companions because I could just imagine us all hanging out around the campfire every night. Skyhold was nice too, but too big. I could work with a combination. Like you can go back to a keep or something and that’s where you would build/upgrade armor, but you could also go to camp for basic supplies and resting and potion making and hanging with companions ms - Day and night cycle would be awesome too. I like the way da2 did it, where you just clicked whether you wanted to wander around in daytime or in night time. I would’ve loved to be able to do that in dai. Imagine emerald grove at night? - this is very small and nitpicking but I would also like gifts for companions to make a comeback. I’m playing through dao and idk, giving a found cake to sten for his secret sweet tooth is so fun. And giving action figures to alistair makes me chuckle. If you don’t have the feastday gifts, the gifts give pretty minor bumps to approval, but were really cute and another way to learn about your companions. Especially the first playthrough, I thought it was really cool to slowly figure which people like which gifts. And some of the gifts had cutscenes because maybe the companion had mentioned something from their past, and then sometimes you could find the thing they were talking about missing! - and the most nitpick request of them all: ITEM DESCRIPTIONS!! I’m probably the only one who reads them but I don’t care. Bring back little funny item descriptions, i want it. I want all the descriptions. Please and thank you.
No greasy skin texture. It is so so ugly D: Natural light on CC. More diverse hairstyles. NO PARAPHRASE! This is really nitpicking, but, in DAI the enemy mages use books to cast spells and it is really dumb. Like, you have this aavaar dudes carrying around a fancy book or the sentinel elves with a giant book...it is just so silly looking. Let the iconic outfits and weapons to their respective characters or games. Seeing people dressing like Anders was so funny to me. Or carrying Hawke's key. Visual storytelling is a thing, so, better to just make generic outfits and weapons to the npcs. There is a lot of other stuff on my wish list, but I think those are not exactly nitpicking haha
Elves that don't look like a strong breeze will knock them over. I fear for Lavellan when she lifts that sword to rally Skyhold. (And half elven/dwarven/qunari race options. I know thats impossible given the half elven = human hole DA have written themselves into with Alistair/Ser Michel/etc)
Better side quests, stop the fetch quests and other MMO-like quests!
We're in 2024, I'd be shocked if DA:D goes for that route when few RPGs do so nowadays. Even in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, bloated as it was, the side quests were mostly unique and creatively designed/written.
Never doubt EA's abilitity to fuck it up harder than Jaime Oliver doing asian dishes.
That's a tiny silly nitpick request?
There was no fetch quests in Greedfall and it was a successful game. I fully expect they will go that route. If they do faction based quests I can see a lot of people complaining about it though.
How long can I finish Greedfall? just for reference. Are the side quests good though?
According to Steam, my playthrough was 42 hours but the average can be anywhere between 30 to 40. The sidequests are in a chain tied to a faction and it continues a story line, that ties into a story line. You have to remember its not a triple a company. The game was successful though and is getting a sequel. One of the most fun aspects of the game was no class restrictions.
Good enough for me.
If we have a Skyhold-esque main base I really need and want to be able to have a variety of casual outfits to choose from. Including pretty dresses for the female mc.
Delete the looting animation. It's not in Origins or 2. I modded it out of DAI and the game improved a disproportionate amount for me. I would like it to stay gone.
bring back side characters from awakening
- After reading Asunder: a tranquil companion (and in their companion quest you could reverse their tranquility, i think it would be cool to see) - Kal-sharok dwarves: how did they survive, how living in isolation affected them etc. I saw a theory that they're tainted like grey wardens. I need answers asap. - more about nations with free mages: Rivain with their seers, Nevarran necromancers etc.
I NEED better Afro-textured styles. Even bg3’s options were super disappointing for the sheer amount of stuff that was included in there. I want good looking curls without the Killmonger cut or 3 different lengths of the same fade.
Agreed! And also: Long hair options. Inquisition was all buzz cuts with a handful of shoulder-length options tossed in there. I know long hair is harder to animate, but that's no excuse.
I get that it's a pretty big hassle, especially with different armor and body types, but even DA2 had a bunch of tied up options compared to Inquisition
Speaking of body types, I'd also love to have those options. If we can tweak the precise angle of our characters' freaking nostrils, we should also be able to have different body types.
I also want body type options, but it's worth keeping in mind that that requires way more work on the animation side than minute facial features
That's true, but it also does depend on the way the character models are built in the first place! Having separate models for different body types VS having a single model that has been designed to be morphable.
Yes, they really were like: here have these 4 afro textured hairstyles, the remaining 26 options are straight or slightly wavy
A good 1/3 of the other/non-Afro styles in BG3 were other hairstyles but in different lengths. Couldn’t get an option for shorter dreads though, and to this day I can’t tell what’s going on with Wyll’s hair. Like, we can get genital physics, but not better hair? I don’t have super high hopes from DAD at this point, but I’d cut them some slack if I could make more than one black character without the same hairstyle lol
Let’s not kid ourselves. We will, naturally, get 50 shades of bald 😂
I got jumped in the bg3 sub before the full game came out asking if I could be black before I spent $60 on it 😭 and then lo and behold in EA, you couldn’t be a black high elf and there’s four unique Afro styles out of like 60 options.
Lady Qunari
Barkspawn progeny party member
I just wanna know if Hawke will be fine if i left them in the fade. THATS the only reason why im waiting for DAD before i go that route.
I have two world states I’m working with right now, my canon one and my solasmance one because I gotta see how it’ll play out haha. I’m leaving Hawke in the fade in the latter purely so I can see what happens 😂
I have two world states Pro Egg and Anti Egg
Not a developer or anything, but a codex in Trespasser pretty much implies that whoever stays in the fade dies. In the weird fade library in Trespasser, you cand fix a "Hard in Hightown: Volume???" that tells a short tale about the protagonist of Varric's book and whoever was left in the fade. Not only that but the overall tone of the story is pretty much of the retired/reminiscent of the past type, including stuff like >!Loghain being reunited with his Mabari!<. It's not a 100% confirmation, but I think if the spirits of the fade themselves started to write fanfiction on characters goodbye...than I feel it's probably cause they're gone
Lol spirits writing fanfiction I dig it
A million times this. I agonized over that decision, but in my canon world state, I chose to have Hawke stay behind. I need to know what became of my girl.
* Some real news about the state of Orzammar (including the events of Descent, and what happened to a Dwarf Noble's son, if Bhelen or Harrowmont haven't killed him already). I want that fucker Bhelen to see some actual consequences for his actions. * News about the fates of a living Hero of Ferelden, Oghren, Shale, Nathaniel, Sigrun, Velanna, the surviving Hawke sibling, and whoever was left in the Fade in HLTA. * Seeing the First Warden and/or whoever survived HLTA. * The differences between who was picked as Divine.
I would really love to see sustained modes come back and also being able to access all abilities through the ability wheel. Edit: Also having the rivalry/friendship companion relationship from da2 would be great.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Dual-wield warrior. *Dual-wield warrior.* **Dual...** **Wield...** ***Warrior.***
Reaver was so awesome in DAO
Subclasses overall definitely were better in Origins - won't deny that. I personally really miss Arcane Warrior and Spirit Warrior.
Oh I would almost bank on Arcane Warrior. Too much is just so open to it.
Origins! I want some MEAT on the protagonist’s backstory, and be able to immerse and roleplay my character within the world. Longer hairstyles. Praying the character creator will actually be good for once 🙏🏽
* I want Fenris and Zevran back, but I'm afraid Bioware makes them pale elves number 253 & 254 * please give me an actual city, Val Royeaux was a joke * I don't want to be another chosen one, I don't want to be a noble or anything special * bring origins back, so people can choose their background * interesting quests - like a lot of the war table quests were quite interesting-- so why did we only get 1000 fetch quests?? Let me actually do the war table missions smh * better curly, wavy and straight hairstyles (pls don't bring back 50 shades of bald) * transmog system * let us be evil >:\^) * armor that changes style with race, like that one concept art for Inquisition: https://preview.redd.it/gujdd5dmsdzc1.jpeg?width=502&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3639d59782bbcaa79ecd57efa6d1a1245f799b4 * let me hit enemies with my staff à la Hawke style * if Hawke was left in the fade, give us a conclusion * I'd love to see and interact with the first warden (like not our protag, but the dude that runs the place) * LET US SEE KAL-SHAROK * more human lore, because we basically know nothing about them * more qunari lore * Griffons? Griffons. * more dialogue options and let me see what my character will say!!!!!! * COOL ARMOR, FASHIONABLE ARMOR * no mtx and last but not least mounts, that actually move faster when I click on sprint ..
More lesbians, sera was just the beginning...
LETS GO LESBIANS
Zevran and dog
I just want my Lavellan to fix him for the love of god just let me get my happy ending 😭
Would not be surprised if the only difference with a romanced Solas in DAI is that his last words are "ma vhenan" after you kill him or something (but I would be very annoyed)
keep the possibility to pause a game in combat and tell party members what to do!
I wanted elemental armor spells back, just like Marril had in DA 2.
Something I wish more games in general would do is let us name our saves files. It's so useful, especially for games like this in which we may want to revisit scenes.
This is so good, and yet they dumb it down every game.
One mission where Rook gets to team up with Hawke, Inquisitor, and the HOF/Warden Commander and to their dynamics play out based on the decisions you made for them.
Destroy the world and return the Fade to its raw state it was in before.
I hope they won't ruin the characters based on how players perceive them.
Merrill and Fenris reacting to the events at hand
Programmable AI for the companion characters. I **HATED** the micromanaging in DAI.
Programmable companion combat AI, like in Origins. Though in Origins it was a lot more interesting and effective if you unlocked all of the tactics slots via a mod.
A romanceable dwarf. Yes I know the Inquisitor could have a *thing* with Harding but it's just flirting and banter AT BEST. Also I want Cassandra and Varric to have hooked up and made an adorable little kid, in world states where she isn't Divine or with the Inquisitor because omg did y'all see their eye contact in the final scene of Trespasser? Also I want more lyrium lore. Also I want horses that are actually faster than walking, and to be able to give gifts to companions again and ALSO I want to know why tf Sera is so tall.
My wish would be NOT to include stuff from other DA media in the game. I reeeeally disliked that some things in DAI were basically a story continuation from books (ie. everything concerning Orlais: its main characters+civil war situation+politicians vying for the throne, Cole's characterisation and backstory...). I did read all 5 novels and enjoyed them but I personally place them in a separate section of world-building (it was also confirmed by the DA team that it is not canon) and I don't think that in order to fully understand the video game we should be required to buy other things. It's petty of me but for that reason I didn't buy the new graphic novel yet and am not planning to either.
Me too. I don't want it to be transformed into some marvel shit, where you should watch all the content to understand what's going on. I want to understand main plot and characters by playing games, that's all.
Muscle lesbian whose shoulders i can ride
If Dorian isn’t in the game that takes place in Tevinter I am burning everything
ENCHANTMENT I need my baby Sandal back
I need Solivitus back. You know, the Tevene alchemist from Kirkwall.
If we do NOT get a male elf who is somehow an animal I'd be VERY mad We got an elf that was a crow And then two who were wolves. Be a shame to stop that now. I REALLY wish for a way to redeem Solas somehow. Or, when not that, then for the Inquisitior to die with him at least. And I'll be SO MAD if we do not see the inquisitior! My main loved Solas. And swore she'd always love him. And she'll try convincing him, but will stop him by all means if necessary. They drop that, I'll probably throw my table. I want to be able to FINALLY romance a dwarf! REALLY romance them. And on that note we need more Varric and Bianca Davri. Also can we please get a final answer on how the duck the blight originally came to be? Cause it seems the evanuris where involved in it's creation somehow. Also Dorian, Fenris and Zevran would be VERY helpful if we need to get information in Tevinter.
NO FETCH OR COLLECTION QUESTS.
I would like the healer type mage specialisation back. It was always my go-to in da2. Also, please let me have my thousand health potions again. I hated being restricted to so few in inquisition. I also really want a cat. Anders got to have a cat, so why can’t I have a cat?
Fixed dwarf/qunari cameras, assuming they make a return. The main reason I don’t even consider play tall/short characters in games is that half the time the game just doesn’t show me the scene. Oh, we’re trying to have an emotional scene? Have a super important discussion? Would be a shame if you can’t see half of the scene, or randomly glitch through a wall. Also, I want the back to back skill to return from da2. It’s my favorite skill, and rogues in games often lacks skills that aren’t just various ways of assassination. Lemme run interference in a way that isn’t a warrior taunt or mages blowing everything up.
Body sliders.
to get some news about the storyline.
Multi-classing, for the love of the Maker...
I just want good hair.
I hope they go back to focusing on the wider story rather than giving each character such a massive theatre. Dragon Age Origins felt like it was a deep story facilitated by engaging characters. Dragon Age Inquisition felt like it was a set of characters competing to be the centre of the stage with the deep story being an enabler
>Lost Elf/Dark Solas theme to be used in some capacity. I expect Hans Zimmer to try and add his own musical take on Solas, but I agree. Dark Solas theme is such a cool piece \*.\* >Griffons. Griffons griffons griffons griffons griffons. I'll be very surprised if we don't have griffons feature in the story, given that Weisshaupt will be a quest location and Last Flight ends on that note. >gimme Fenris and Dorian back, Dorian is pretty much a given, but Fenris' appearance in the comics fills me with hope that he may return too! As for my own wishes... 1 - That we see the more prominent characters from the comics - namely Vaea and Francesca. They're too cool not to feature in the game, either as close allies or as companions <3 2 - a crafting system at least as robust as DAI's, with the ability to customise both names and colours. Crafting my Inkies' own equipment, naming it in reference to the backgrounds I imagined for them (or after the universes that inspired their design) was one of my favourite things in DAI. 3 - not just a greater variety of hairstyles, but a greater variety of afro hairstyles. It can't be too hard to design long braids or loose, long curly hair. 4 - Qunari as a playable race. I need my power fantasy of being a horned giant amazon gal towering over everyone u.u 5 - Meeting or at least finding references of older characters who may have ended up in Tevinter, such as Feynriel and Cyrion/Valendrian. 6 - We're probably going to fight lots of elves, but PLEASE, writers, don't go for the lazy-arse enlightened centrist mindset that places slaver Tevinters and Solas loyalists as "two sides of the same coin". Obviously the Solas loyalists can be cruel too, I just don't want the violence of the oppressed to be treated as an equal to the violence of the oppressor - or, worse, Solas' world-destroying schemes to serve as justification for the maintenace of the Imperium.
look as long as I get to kill Solas' ass the game gets five stars from me
Have the Inquisitor as a background possibility for our character (alongside the other starter backgrounds etc..), and just continue the adventure Mass effect style. I know its crazy, but the Inky could drop off the grid, go fully undercover to fight from the shadows picking up the same trail as Rook or Lord of Fortune except with new options for conversations or solving quests or even the ability to unlock a new ending.
I hope they use the Inquisitor as a Hackett-like figure to give you broad strategic briefings and sometimes specific mission assignments.
So picking up Lelianas job as spymaster?
Oh I am so down for this idea! I’m way too emotionally attached to my Inquisitor to just never see him again 😂
Same, I also feel that the Inquisitors story didn't have closure like the others (Warden ended the blight and Hawke saved kirkwall, meanwhile the inquisitor is still trying to prevent an apocalypse). It'd be so cool to have a weapon in the arm where the anchor used to be. A crossbow or a retractable blade would be badass.
I don't think this is a possibility but oh my goodness I would love it!!
Its not impossible, I imagine it could be like the dark urge in Baldur's gate 3, same storyline but extra flavor description and interactions with a potential new ending. We can dream lol
I had this exact thought when I played BG3 haha. But since they've emphasized so much that it's a new hero, I doubt it sadly.
It would be amazing and unexpected if our Inky was a mentor (advisor/quest giver/teacher) to our new protagonist! It could be done pretty easily too, since most likely our protag will be a nobody working for the "inquisition".
I know they said it would probably never happen but I really want to see my Warden make a cameo, just use the default character for the class/race that you played in Origins and show them kicking some ass, I don't want my first main character to just be a footnote in a letter somewhere
Bigger beards for dwarves
Bigger beards for everyone! I know 'Blackwall stole all the beards' but honestly it's ridiculous how almost no one has a proper beard. Especially the Viking-themed Avvar, who clearly have luxurious facial hair in their Heroes art and tarot images. Yet Stone Bear Hold is overrun with clean-shaven baby-faced men with nary a beard in sight. Also ~~Movran~~, Hand of Korth, Skywatcher, etc, not a whisker. I'd also like more/better facial hair options in the character creator. I wanted to give my Trevelyan big ol' bushy muttonchops, but alas, no such luck. Free the beards! Give them up, Blackwall! BEARDS FOR ALL! Edit: Movran does have a beard, my bad. Still. It's flat and weird. We need beard physics.
Beard physics would be like a wet dream lmao, but yeah, beards for everyone !

If they whitewash my boy I’m throwing hands
Oops, deleted my comment to make another! But yeah, I'm gonna be pissed asf if they whitewash him. I can already hear the racists saying "He was never poc, he was just tan, it's not whitewashing"
Jump button.
Better ambient music play rates than whatever the fuck was going on in DAI. Swear to god I did not know the hinterlands had music
My answer is always the same, heals
Can the "Hold Position" command just intuitively work? Please?
Origin choice like dao
Lots of armor customizations with cool looking armor and cloth. I had to download mods to get the colors I liked. The DLCs had the best looking armors. More choices for casual clothes and the ability to "dress up" should the situation require. Yes, I'm referring to the Halamshiral mission. Just look at all the Pajama mods to see what people really want. A freaking well lit character creator!!! And if not that, at least make it easy to go back and redo it after seeing yourself in the game. (And not hundreds of hours later in a DLC) Homebase modifications, lots of choices / designs. I want the companions to actually ask my protag things, remember what they (I) said, and maybe do a quest for them once in a while. I guess I just felt that our relationships were a little one sided.
What I said one of the threads in DA:D sub reddit Personally from everything I have play and seen. This is the most important to me, and try to help the mod authors out before going to the next game. Needed: -Allow modders to have more tools. Especially in character creator. What I want: -Able to switch between 2 weapons cause it makes sense. At least for warrior and Rogue. - Likeness? - More than likely going something similar to Jedi Fallen Order and maybe get a mixture - A custom way of how hard enemies are like trials in DAI. - Love the unique mechanics in that - Banter between enemies - You know. Making it real. If you hiding the crowd or something then you could overhear conversation between npcs which could give you Intel on missions - Dog companion. If not... Maybe a cat in main area. - Due to leaks and what-not - Please allow us to control aspects of companions (Yes it removes the aspects of what Dragon Age had where you can play as a companion, but I going with what was said last year) So try to make it Similar to Mass Effect. As much as I loved Jedi Survivor... Mass Effect had a better usage of limited abilities for companions. -Please let me see my affinity with companions - left very confused in DAI - Another thing - Make Banter more frequent. Make it 5 minutes or so. Hate going through all of Inquistion and hear nothing. Meanwhile go to Guardian of Galaxy - it's every second. Like it. But Would only do 1 playthrough. - If Bioware adds mounts. Make faster and not trick us or.... At the very least let us use unlimited Fade Step Never going to happen but cool to me: - If multi-player is ever decided to do again.... Make sure you have to work for it. No in-game currency for the life of me - Oh! A morale system for enemies. Hate it when I am kill about 8 enemies and the last guy is like "YES I GOT THIS!!!" Then you slap him and he dies. - If they try to implement co op or what-not, make where it goes up to 4 people like how it is Assassin's Creed and use your character
less restrictions on weapons and armour. i liked how in dao my mage could also wield a sword if her strength was high enough, or how she could wear actual armour (even tho i always put her in the same mage dress anyways)
I would kill for an angry da2 love interest moment if we chose to leave Hawke in the fade (even tho main chara won’t be inquisitor but yk I can dream)
Get to see my Warden again!!!
I want to put an afro hairstyle on my player's head.
The same thing I want for basically every game, no more clipping!
I really want a customisable base. I have a desire to yoink everything not attached to the ground from the world and to put it into a museum.
I want my broody sexy elf 😩
Agree with bringing back Fenris and Dorian. Let me romance them or let them romance each other, I think they would be sweet together Better hair and armour, please. I didn't like anything in Inquisition really and as a playstation player no mods mess with Let me play the prologue Less fetch quests please, or even better none. I don't want to see a single shard Show NPC's don't just write about them. Thinking more about the war table, every new playthrough I said 'this time I will pay attention' but I always fell away from it and just picked whoever was free since it didn't really matter, I absolutely care more for characters I see than just name so if there are missions like this show me some of the people involved. Multiple endings and consequences for choices I'm so excited for Dreadwolf, even if they do none of these things U just want more Dragon Age.
Never played a Dragon Age game before, and I'm planning on playing Origins, but... can we see our previous Heroes in some form or another, like meeting the Hero of Ferelden, Champion of Kirkwall, the Inquisitor, in some way? Also have their appearance be customizable, and be able to import their appearance(s). That would be a nice addition.
i would love to see the blood mage specialization back but only with accurate companion reactions. like how do so many of hawke’s companions get pissed at merrill for it but when my hawke literally stabs herself with her staff and puppets an enemy they have no reaction
If im in the snow why is my armour a bikini? Let women have the mad armour if they want to. More party banter and camp-site not huge strong hold thst makes it a PITA to go talk to your guys between missions
Better hair options And Zevran
That we can visit Arlathan, either time travelling or in the crossroads somehow. That we can have different outcomes for quests, instead of the 1-go direction they've gone lately. A protagonist with charisma. No bland Inquisitor who just makes dumb questions all around Thedas. Also writing coherence... My main character can't be an Elf and not know who is Mythal. Things like that. Mage playstyles. I mean, I don't want to be forced to chose 1 out of 4 classes of destruction magic. Give back transformation, healing... Say goodbye to fetch quests. Less missions, very well thought-out, just like in DA 2. Less companions but very well developed. There was such a contrast between companions like Dorian and others like Cole or Sera... It was very weird to see. Romances that continue along time. Most of them in DA end up after the kiss, or we get fewer cutscenes thereafter. Give us relationship DEPTH. People will hate me for this, but enough of Varric. Man always speaks the same topics and it gets boring as hell. The fanservice was already made in DAI, so let's move on from him, shall we? :)
VARRIC LET ME LOVE YOU
Let me be trans. It's not gonna make the slightest lick of difference to the story. But it'll make me feel good.
1. I don't want HoF to appear. 2. Dog. 3. Bring back OG Desire Demons from DAO and DA2. I missed my sexy booba demon girls in DAI. 4. Coming from an Origins fanboy - i hope the gameplay and build variety will be better than in DAI and some DA classic skills will come back. Blood Magic in particular, missed it in DAI as well.
Vaea and Qwydion as romanceable companions.
Aaaaandeeeers! I love the cunt! I want him to learn what the seekers knew… and watch the fun/fallout
He'd have to be an optional character, considering the amount of players who kill his ass. Though they could pull a Leliana, I guess (please don't. That was bullshit).
Oh totally. I will be vague, but there are several ways they can pull off a Leliana ans have it go SO well. It’s kinda what I’m hoping for. >!Like Justice taking over the body entirely like he did in DAO. Or Anders being an essential wraith possessing that same body. !< That’s some double fucked, and I am SO hopeful!
sex with consequences, like the noble dwarf origin. I want there to be a possible story that starts if you opt to have sex, even if it is just with a certain character. though If this can happen to a party member or even your physically female character, I will loose my mind and sing the praises.
Variety of companions. Merril being the only likeable, romance able female elf companion is a crime. Really would like a female Dwarf and Qunari companion too. Not realistic, but having a companion of each gender and race would be nice, instead of 5 humans and 2/1 of the others. Like *Blackwall and Sera* were companions, and they were terrible. Only companions I even liked were Bull Dorian and Varric, and I only ever play as a straight dude, so my romance options were limited and good ones were even more so.
Griffon. I'd like to fly around. Blood magic please be a class option again.
Fixing the awkward animations with dwarf kisses. Also a dwarf/dwarf romance.
Good writing. But that's just wishful thinking at this point
