#my gripes are with accessibility & the loss of distant cam for my motion sickness issues. the insane bloom effects. & ☆bioware magic☆

[muddiestpath]

i feel the same way about the fakeness thing!! It's definitely in part to me feeling jaded and then the dev stuff but i just don't want to be disappointed!!! and i feel like i will end up so because of how critical i am but like it's not 2014 anymore you know?

Just so you know, I am unphased by the gameplay & artstyle change! Dragon Age games games have never been consistent. My aesthetic gripe is more the camera's over reactive nature whenever the character moves & the blurry bloom on everything I've seen so far. That looks gross imo. I hope it can be turned off or mods figure out how to kill it early. (Ugly clothes are also a staple I love in Dragon Age. The cursed realism of ye olde clothing having clashing colours & styles by modern standards.)

But the treatment of the devs has been an increasing problem of Bioware, & definitely evaporated my goodwill to "put my trust" in them enough to preorder.

I'm 30, tired, & want the elven god killing game to be good! I love a lot of what some have hated in previous entries & am willing to give all in-game changes a chance. I'm not giving the Bioware/EA decision-makers the satisfaction of my money before seeing the product anymore.

I joked with friends that EA wants to kill Bioware soooo bad after their mandated destiny clone game failed. To the point whenever Bioware would release a smidge of "we're working on a new dragon age game :D it's going to be great!" as an announcement far too early in, it felt like there was an axe swinging above them & they thought if they generated interest, the board-ghouls would delay their death. I've seen other games in all stages of development canned with no warning (& studios destroyed the moment the game launches). I really feel like Bioware is in the same spot. Even as more gameplay footage is released & launch gets closer everyday, I still don't quite believe it's going to be real?

If they do release the character creator that bioware is "keen to release before launch" I might believe this game will survive.
