...Yeah, idk. I guess I'm just still salty about DAV and that's making Dragon Age something I miss interacting with but have a tough time finding joy in anymore.

And with 10 years between games and all of the development hell that DAV went through, of course it was never going to live up to the collective hype/creativity/literally unlimited potential of what the fan base came up with for where the series could go from Trespasser. I know that.

But reading pre-DAV stuff feels "pointless" because DAV is what's canon. It's what we got. It's where the story ends and what we have to shape Dragon Age around now. And I can't just ignore that and enjoy the speculative works people were putting out because it makes me sad that we DIDN'T get that.

A big part of "Why" is how bitter I feel about DAV. I don't like the direction they went with Solas or how it all ended or... so many things. So I don't want to read post-DAV stuff because I don't like where it left us. I'm frustrated and bored by it, and uninterested in where it was /maybe/ going.

Sure, I think he's talking about it being far enough in the future (for a DA IP reboot to even be on the table) that DATV would need/benefit from some reworking (or "polish", as he put it). But you're right, "remaster" def wasn't the right term there, mb.

Tl;dr: As a way forward for the DA franchise, they had softly pitched "retroactively rebranding the first three games as if they were a trilogy, and calling it ‘The Champions’ Trilogy’". Then maybe doing a remaster of DATV, see what people think, and go from there.

Reading too much into/taking what they want from an interview Darrah recently did.

Some notes & quotes from this interview below, under a cut due to length: The problem that Dragon Age has had is that EA wants mainstream success. It’s hard for the EA corporate & sports-side people.....

I believe you've posted this before, but where did you commission the piece from? It's so lovely!!

Don't forget to play Awakening first! I know it's basically bundled with Origins now, but just in case you somehow missed/skipped over it. 😁

Yes!!! This!!! I've started following a few people I've seen talking about being in the early stages of the game just so I can watch as they progress through the rest of it.

As a kid, I used to be so annoyed at my mom's inability to grasp the word Pokemon (we got a lot of Poke-ee-manes and Poke-mans in my house)

as an adult, that's the funniest shit ever and I wonder if she was doing it intentionally.
