Well after a few months of, well, basically nothing, I finally have a new laptop, and I finally am ready to get back to blogging. If you have come back to continue reading after my long absence, thanks. If your new to Marshmallow Fluff!, then thanks for taking some time to check out my blog, and I hope you'll keep coming back. I plan to keep this more updated with news and rumors as well as my usual brand of more serious and interesting, and occasionally funny articles about the industry and about games themselves.
Without further adieu, let's get back to it.
Dragon Age III Rumors
A few posters from the Bioware Social page are reporting that they recently took part in a survey about key design elements for Dragon Age III. NeoGaf has also gotten in contact with one poster who says his survey was slightly different than the one that's already making the rounds on the net.
The story, as reported by Stratagey Informer, seems to center around the civil war between the mages and templars that sparked near the end of Dragon Age II. The game appears to take place in Orlais, with once such description reading:
The survey also seems to have had concept art of possible companions, as well as several possible game titles. There was also a Dragon Age III logo floating around but it appears that that is a fan made logo. NeoGaf's forums seem to be rather hesitant to think Dragon Age III could be any better than Dragon Age II, and are criticising the focus on the mages and templars, mostly because of how it has been handled. As for me, I think it's an attempt at a different approach, and if true, it's a familiar formula, all be it with a bit of a new twist. EA has been contacted by other sites for confirmation."A portal between the worlds unleashes hords [SIC] of demons in the land, civil wars rip apart nations and the corruption is limitless. Someone is behind the shadows, drawing the threads which destroy the world. Time has come for the Inquisition.Take the Inquisitor's cloak and lead the only force able of bringing light into the darkness. Choose the direct method and gather your armies, send spies into the shadows or engage in a political war, make friends and use your connections indirectly: it is up to you how you lead the inquisition. But you'll have to take lead of it from the beginning. Make your player a rogue, warrior or mage and set up your crew from up to ten (!) complex companions to lead them against those who attack you by systematically spying on, revealing and destroying them."
