      I can’t wait for the day one dlc that will allow wizards to cast fireball, warriors to equip swords, and will let rogues use stealth.

        Day 0 DLC will be “Garb of the Veil guard” and it will be a handful of average looking outfits that you will remove the moment you reach a vendor who sells something +1 better. It will be included in the preorder.

        Day 1 DLC will be a side quest that is billed as delving deeper into a companions backstory and integral to the main plot. What it will actually be will be half a dozen mild conversations and 2 fights that will never be mentioned again.

          And the conversation that unlocks that day 1 DLC will be available in the base game, but you won’t be able to progress until you buy the DLC.

    This game is so fucked. It won’t be golden age bioware because that stopped being a thing over a decade ago and its a bit rich ign playing into the “bioware is dead” bs when they rated inquisition as their game of the year when it released. Personally I’m cautiously optimistic as I’ve enjoyed every bioware game I’ve played in some form and I’ve played all but anthem and balders gate. Andromeda had flaws yet I still had fun and inquisition I enjoyed a lot more than 2.

    It doesn’t need to go back to any era, it just needs to be good. I swear the Bioware hatred over the years could be some kind of case study for the mentally unstable. Everyone got butt-hurt over mass effect 3 and never let Bioware live it down.

    They’ve made one absolute shit game in Anthem, and yes I like Andromeda and love inquisition, and all of a sudden they’re the worst company alive. Bungie has had more fuck ups than Bioware and they get a pass every time.

    Blizzard literally harasses women to the point of taking their own lives and they get a pass because “muh WoW is too valuable!”. Still pissed no one is in jail for that bullshit, that woman’s family needs some form of justice and it won’t ever happen.

    Who cares if it’s not like baldurs gate 3? If it’s good then just enjoy the damn game, that’s what it is, a video game.

      I too love Inquisition, some of the best characters Bioware put together.
