I doubt it...Never was a fan of the ME3 MP and other games that did not have MP in its first game (Dead Space for example) did it in its 2nd game and that was quite horrible as well...So hopefully that's a no (As I doubt it would be any good)

I thought MP was already confirmed

You only have to look at the enduring popularity of yuna/tidus, cloud/tifa and much more recently lightning (who personally i hated) to prove that rpg games don't need creatable characters. In fact rpg games are by default stories. And thus becomes a choice between 'the story of x character' or 'the story of y world with you in it'. (skyrim would be a good choice to show the later, or DAO) Writing the story of x character in y world (as i think they did with DA2) becomes overly complicated writing and can easily fail to connect with the players.

Pretty much why I dont ever played final fantasy beyond demo's. Its not your character you get to play with after all, you cant even decide on their appearance, weaponry or anything.

Whenever I play an RPG with a character thats not mine but of the developer, it just feels meaningless and obsolete to me since the developer decided about their personality, history and all that. As a player you dont get much of a say in things, following a preset story.

When bringing in my own character, it really feels like more of a collaberation between the developer and me. They build the world, and I get to create a single character to interact with that world. Bringing one outsider in there as it where.

When enough options are given, the replayability can be quite amazing this way since every time you play with a different character with a different personality instead of always the same character.

EA doesn't publish any game "as single player experience" (Electronic Arts Frank Gibeau).
So there will be an "multiplayer content". That could be a real MP mode, the possibly to play co op or a simple online achievement system.

I understand.

My point was on the difference between what you think your character will say and what he/she really says. They could simply allow the player to read the full dialogue that will be said instead of a few words. That is what does The Witcher and if my memories are correct Risen. Then there would be no problem.

true, in bioware games they often say something completely different than you have in mind. For some reason I sometimes think the response will be sarcastic but its not, or the response is suddenly overly dark. ("time to kill!") or something like that as if you are a moron.

I remember in neverwinter nights though that i wasnt sure when my carachter was joking or not. Sometimes when i chose some options people got all pissed at me for no reason so those icons should still be left, but yes a full dialogue option like in oldschool. Keep the red/purple/blue though.

Will they bring back sexy Flemeth or normal old lady Flemeth? When i saw sexy Flemeth make an appearance at the start of DA2 i instinctively reached for the tissue box, but then i realised "hold on this is Flemeth, do i really want to do this? It might be weird"

**Stavroforos** · October 30, 2012, 05:07 AM

I preferred sexy Flemeth. Cranky ol' Flemeth doesn't really do it for all-powerful mythic witch who has been around for centuries.

**Beregond** · October 30, 2012, 05:43 AM

well, BW are trying more and more to appeal to teenagers with their Isabella boobs, sexy Flemeth and Asari everywhere. I think it's a kinda sad tendency

**Stavroforos** · October 30, 2012, 05:47 AM

I never liked Isabella or Asari, I really couldn't find myself being attracted to blue aliens with tentacles on their heads.

**Anna_Gein** · October 30, 2012, 09:18 AM

Unless DA experiment (again) a change of graphical style we should get sexy Flemeth. Since one of the artworks revealed showed the (ugly) Warden armour of DA2 I don't think there will be a lot of change.

By the way I wonder how sexy Flemeth get her plate armour and what protection it offer.

I preferred the origins Flemeth, I liked how they have this crazy old lady who's actually this demon-abomination-dragon immortal thing. It's more subtle, and unnerving.

I agree Flemeth with the body of a porn-star seems more like a centuries old witch (or not).

The less obvious persons of power are usually more interesting than the obvious.

**Habelo** · October 30, 2012, 06:59 PM

Im only against her body because it kinda goes against the lore. She clearly would prefer being beautiful herself then why would she ever have grown old and ugly in DA:O?
