Cyberpunk had good dialogue and story. It was just buggy, which is why I gave it a pass. If the game has a boring story, writing AND buggy, why the hell would I be playing it?
Yes I was going to say this. I love cyberpunk 2077 so much, I’m certain they could make an amazing game where you play as a detective on the Citadel! (Pre-reaper invasion). You could choose to be shady and make deals with criminals for cash or information on more important targets, follow or go against superior’s orders, hundreds of side quests, beautiful map of the citadel showing all its variety and extreme scale.
I would worry that Larian would make DA turn based, but other than that I can’t think of a better studio for the task!
I don't disagree but I really can't decide if I'd rather have a great turn-based DA game or never play another DA game again 😭
I love the Divinity games and BG3 but oh my god I just want a decent real-time combat party-based RPG with a little bit of flirting and it really feels like Bioware is one of the only studios that does that (we don't talk about Veilguard)
I keep saying BG3 is proof of concept that you can make a Dragon Age that goes back to the roots of Origins with a modern game engine and it would be a huge hit assuming it’s high quality. Larian would know DA out of the park
The way people talk about DAO online is just weird.
The game people talk about simply doesn't exist. Both in terms of combat and story/tone, it's all nostalgia.
Don't get me wrong, I really like it, but in terms of gameplay it's a relatively shallow real time with pause game that requires little to no thinking (you can solo the game on Nightmare by right clicking and going AFK), and for Rogue/Warrior there's almost no buildcrafting depth as well.
It really pales in comparison to other CRPGs, even the classics that are older than it (BG1/2, NWN, etc.) and the ones that came after it (Pillars of Eternity, the Pathfinder games).
The story is great, but people also have weird misconceptions about the writing.
They seem to only remember that one scene in the deep roads and say the game is some dark fantasy bastion when the game is very a much a product of its time, filled with corny jokes and Joss Whedon style dialogue (even the main writer admitted Whedon was a big influence), the game has the tone of Firefly for 95% of the game.
Agree that the gameplay is different due to turn based vs live action tactical fighting systems, but that’s not entirely my point. I think that the underlying soul of the games are similar. Like I think BG3 feels closer to DA:O than Inquisition and possibly even DA2. Every DA game has been pretty different game play wise, so I think even if Larian were to do a DA game that was more in line with what they typically put out than copying the mechanics of Origins, I think it would still be the closest DA game to Origins in the franchise
I meant the LE, the game runs fine but I’ve always had issues with the always online EA login that makes it not want to work anywhere that isn’t my house. I wish they’d use the drm they had for Dead Space Remake.
And if I wanted to be nitpicking, I wish they’d use the same option to install individual games on the launcher like they did on the Xbox version of LE. 120gb is a little big on my Deck.
Oh about that, I agree on both points, that always online was crap, had to pause game for couple of days because of no internet access... And about all-in-one, I couldn't have many other games because of it
You act like they did it out of the kindness of their hearts, not because it was one of the most broken launches of the generation. And CDPR never even fixed it on the platforms it was in the worst shape on! (Xbox One and PS4) After lying about it and claiming it was running surprisingly well!
Can’t believe the whitewashing that Reddit has done for this awful company.
I’m sorry, but: Strong disagreement. That studio doesn’t deserve any big IPs after botching Cyberpunk’s launch.
You shouldn’t be rewarded for marketing a game as the greatest ever, releasing an unplayable mess, taking a year to fix it, then finally four years later having a game people like that is almost up to what was advertised.

I’d even throw in Projekt Red, considering how much of a 180 Cyberpunks had. EA would never fix a game for their fans or be that dedicated to one
