The game has nothing to do with baldurs gate or d&d.

They aren't. They're making Dragon Age 4, and all we know about it so far is that it probably follows up on the story from Dragon Age Inquisition and it's last DLC.

Dao isn't even turn based or even of the dungeons and dragons lore. I honestly think many need to go purchase a dnd dm Manual and player manual to perhaps get a generalized idea. Comparing games that are not even on the same level is in poor interest and dumb. If you want to play Dao then go do it?

It's not a D&D game, but Dragon Age Origins has everything to do with Baldur's Gate; BG2 is the game that inspired it. Origins was marketed as the spiritual successor to BG. Origins is to BioWare what Baldur's Gate 3 is to Larian, a game that got made directly because of the impact of their previous works.

Ya I know, which is unfortunate since DAO was fantastic and the other DA's were just meh at best.

No matter how hard Lrian tries it will never make BG3 successor. Not turn based.

It is fake BG3. The real BG3 will be made by Bioware and probably be named Baldurs Origins

Is that gonna be a spinoff game that starts off with the player being on a colony ship sent to another galaxy?

I actually liked Inquisition most. Origins was totally fine, but nothing about it stood out to me except the lore and world building. Other than that the story, the characters, the combat, the visual style, were all competent but mostly unremarkable. For all the things it screwed up, Dragon Age 2 made more of an impact on me than Origins did.

People get bogged into the story of DAO1 and don't like it. And easily miss its mechanics. The mechanics of DAO was to be the future. It offers the most fantastic and needed mechanics. But was wasted with DAO2

Inquisition would've been a lot better if it wasn't for that solo MMO experience vibe it gave off, the whole time I played that game I couldn't get the thought out of my head that it felt like it was supposed to be an MMORPG.

Yeaaa i know i'm kicking the ant mound here, just like if i was criticising FNV or Witcher 3, but DAO's gameplay isn't quite as good as everyone makes it out to be

In its defense, the AI control scripts system is pretty great

But as for character builds and all... ? Nah. You eventually sit on a pile of garbage skills which you never use. Every single fight is the same rotation, with bad rythm, and the builds aren't even interesting.

Personally i find DA2's combat designs much more flexible, streamlined to get rid of all the pointless clutter, and reactive.

Unfortunately that also was lost by transitioning to DAI's Frostbite, where they didn't manage to replicate both the builds flexibility and controls reactiveness, as well as brain dead AI you can no longer script or micro properly.
I mean i know i'm being partial since i think DA2 is the best in the series and it's sad how people got stuck up with the poor assets diversity.
But still, DAO's combat design is very dated, cluttered with garbage and not less repetitive than its successors.

Nah i finished all three DAs on Nightmare + Friendly Fire (and extra difficulty settings for DAI but let's be honest they're actually bonuses)

We just don't have the same expectations it's ok

Despite that i think i would have preferred real time, or simulated real time (à la BG1&2) just like you do
It's not gonna happen so let's hope by release it's interesting and engaging, personally i fear it's just going to be a succession of puzzle solving disguised as battles.

Let's not discuss our skills in DAO, because I finished it no-death run all DLCs on nightmare. Have you ?

I haven't even touched DOS2. I finished DOS1 but had to push myself not to uninstall. Mechanically was so boring. My builds stopped progressing level 15, midgame. Terrible inventory, terrible gameplay beyond Cesael
