Gimme the Dragon Age, gimme!

 Last night I was talking a bit over Discord about the news of EA publishing again in Steam and how they were going to do some remasters of "fan favourites". Someone proposed the theory that the remasters were going to be made in case Dragon Age 4 was a disaster. This morning I decided to Google some news on this and... Why, EA, why torture me like this.

It seems like Dragon Age 4 won't be released until 2022 (the fiscal year, not the natural year, so not early than April 2022). On one hand, this will be good for the workers and the game, and there won't be the mess that was publishing Inquisition in both PS3 and PS4 but only give PS4 the DLC content.

On the other hand... I'm going to have to wait another 3 years for Trespasser's cliffhanger to get resolved. That's 8 years since Inquisition was published. 

And I romanced Solas.

oh, mood. I romanced him as well. I do my best to pretend there is no dragon age 4 as a coping mechanism. I don't necessarily have faith in an EA leashed bioware, but like you said, it is probably good the game is slated for 2022.

Some months ago Kotaku made an article about how EA pulled people from Bioware during Andromeda's development. And then there's all those comments about adding "live elements" to Dragon Age 4.

And I know it's stupid, but I fear the Inquisitor not being the protagonist... which a) is very likely and b) I don't like, because the Inquistor and Solas story is to tighly woven at this point.

It's not even a "I romance Solas" case, it's just me thinking that it would feel cheap to go against Solas with a different protagonist and just have the Inquisitor as a NPC that shows up to give you a quest when this should be the end of their story.

Oh, 2022 feels like a long ways away.... I am glad the workers will have a bit of time to really focus on it, so it won't be rushed in theory, but it's still hard. I feel like anyone who romanced Solas is definitely having a rough time of it. XD My Inquisitor and him became good friends, so I'm still really wanting to see how that goes. They haven't let us play the same character from game-to-game, but I really think it might be a good idea to let us stick with the Inquisitor in the next one or at least have them be a prominent character of some kind.

Anyway, I feel your pain!
