Somehow I just don't really feel any hype, despite this trailer being more 'Dragon Age' than the previous Fortnite style video. It just all feels very generic to me, what are your thoughts?

This made me realize that despite having a huge female fanbase, bioware have always used default basic dude in every single one of their official trailer.
Everyone, including me, is so hyped about Morrigan and I’m glad they brought her back because I don’t think it would make a lot of sense for her to not care about the events that are shown in this trailer.
Aside from that, why does she look 20 years old? Did I miss something and she doesn’t age? I thought she would be around 40 now, even older?
I enjoyed it immensely and I can’t wait to play it.
Whoever came up with and approved the character reveal trailer should be fired. If they’d led with this, I think the conversation around this game would have been very different the last couple months. First impressions are vital, and they dropped the ball hard.
Honestly, it did get me excited. The tone looks right for a Dragon Age game. The premise is interesting. Combined with what I know from the rest of the marketing, it looks like it may be a satisfactory follow up to the dangling plot threads from DAI. I’m definitely feeling more optimistic about the game than I was before.
As a longterm fan my overall excitement for the game is pretty mid after all this time, and I haven’t gotten hype at any of the previous reveals, but this trailer did pique my interest more than all the other trailers combined so far. I think it has the most intriguing premise of all the main games, but with the caveat “if it’s done well.” Tacking on a bunch of gods with powers I do not understand while the world goes to shit could be me finally getting the version of Horizon Forbidden West I wanted two years ago (I wish Aloy+co could have hunted down and confronted/made peace with all the fully-characterized subfunctions individually).
My biggest frustration with DAV so far has actually been them bringing back old characters that inevitably steal the spotlight because it feels like an over reliance on fan favorites to market the game. I like Varric and Morrigan but they’ve been in three out of four games now and I’d be totally fine if they retired. I might also be still bitter cause I don’t think Morrigan for example contributed very much to Inquisition other than to show up and elfsplain Mythal, so I’m worried about that happening again.
If my depression tides over then i’m sure I’ll be super excited about it.
I’m only half as excited as I was 4 years ago when I played DAI four straight times during Covid. Bioware has lost a ton of amazing talent since then, the trailers have been kind of so-so, and I generally mistrust EA until proven otherwise.
That said, I’m still planning to happily devote at least a month of my life to this. It’s Dragon Age!
I am sooo excited for it – cause I’m excited for anything Dragon Age 😊😁
Glad I know when it’s release date is now, so I can book some holiday to chill and play it aha 🎮🗓️
It’s definitely better than the previous one. It had some cool moments I really liked (Lucanis’ wings! Morrigan entrance! Emmrich’s updated appearance!).
But I get what you are saying. It didn’t make me excited, and I can’t really put my finger on the reason why. Maybe it’s because of all the time that passed and I’ve got tired of waiting. Maybe I’ve just fallen out of love with Dragon Age and have fond memories of the released games, but I’m not really excited about new stuff anymore? This is a scary thought, but a possibility nonetheless. Or maybe I’ve just become a picky gamer.
I want to like it, but right now, it doesn’t make me giddy with anticipation overall. It would probably be a long time till I finally play it, definitely not on the release.
I’m excited! Like most, the first reveal trailer had me skeptical, but after the short gameplay reveal I was sold (Tevinter looks GORGEOUS, no wonder Dorian was depressed in the boonies of the Hinterlands, I’d be too if I could be living in MAGIC CITY).
I have a lot of reasons to be skeptical, especially with how the development of this game sounded like the TRENCHES. But even after many episodes of “Wha Happened?” and from the patterns I’ve noticed, I don’t think this is going to fall the same way other titles have (but hey, maybe this comment will age poorly. We’ll see!).
Despite it all, I’m definitely hyped; I’ve missed Dragon Age!
So I’m new to the franchise. I saw the first trailer and I was actually excited for it. Lucky for me all the Dragon Age games were on sale on Steam so I took that opportunity.
I get that people have expectations, especially with such a long, loved franchise as this. I kind of regret not picking it up earlier, but I’m excited now.
I actually like the art style of that first trailer, which drew me in. I like the new trailer too, but I do feel like it’s unfortunate that they went with generic white dude Rook for this trailer though. Even the character they created for the gameplay trailer seemed more interesting than this one, but I guess they had to do something for all the crybabies whining about “w*ke” and “DEI” bullshit.
I’m cautiously optimistic, but I’m trying not to get my hopes up. DA has always been a really important story for me – the second one got me through a very difficult time in my life – but after all this time I’m not sure they can pull off a great story with great gameplay anymore. This trailer makes me feel a little more excited, but we’ll see. I’m just delusional enough to think that it coming out on my wedding anniversary might make it good.
Annoyed by bland as fk male Rook, but otherwise looking forward to it. Looks rather epic and interesting in my opinion.
I loved it. I’m a long time fan. I’ve been waiting ten years and there’s a lot of great moments in the trailer. Harding’s moment is a call back to the Descent DLC. A wolf fighting a dragon. Maybe I’m old, but I thought it looked fantastic and I am here for it.
I’m so hypeeeed!!! I’m very exited for this game, I like its look, and Morrigan return is a cute thing.
I’m a little baffled why they went through the trouble of nostalgia baiting with the Blood Dragon armor, but they didn’t set the release date as November 3rd or November 14th. Fifteen years to the day since Origins or ten years to the day since Inquisition would be really powerful marketing potential. It’s been 10 years, would another 3-14 days matter?
I hope it’s not half as bad as people are saying it will be because DA is my favorite series
I’m indifferent. I might play it shortly after release if reviews are good but I’m not expecting a groundbreaking experience. Decent game that can be enjoyed at best. I do like the change in gameplay (unpopular opinion, I know, please don’t kill me T_T) into something more action based, though.
I feel like I’m being entitled with this one but there’s something bothering me about the way the did the love interest, especially the male ones. It’s nice that we have some diversity but I can’t help but notice that all the female companions seem to be young, attractive and kind of drama free.
The guys are… Older guy, a guy everyone refers to as disaster gay (I assume this is because apparently Lucanis was originally intended to be gay) and one normal guy who will probably have some deep emotional package.
On other platforms I have gotten hate over saying that I will probably romance Lucanis with my female Rook. Now I’m not sure if I should so I guess I’m left with Davrin? I hope he’s well written.
Female options always feel so… Easy and nice comparison? And by easy I mean conventionally attractive and hetero coded.
I know it’s gonna be better than most games, but it does irk me a little bit that we rarely get just emotionally stable, nice dudes. We had Cullen and Alistair but my gods the dudes in DAII had package.
Hopefully it’s good! But I still have so many looong games to play 🤣
It feels unpolished.
I am super excited. Looking forward for the release!
Nope.
Last good Dragon Age game in my eyes was Origins. So I don’t expect much.
