My DA3 wish list

1. MOAR Isabella! Never enough!! Give me the flirty pirate woman!

2. Customizeable armor. I missed being able to change my characters appearance. Maybe on and off duty looks, with customize able on duty looks.

3. VERRIC! Please give me more sexy dwarf man!

4. I want a trip to Tevinter! I have been saying this since game one!

5. FLEMETH! Do I need to say more? Mysterious funny witch ladies are awesome.

6. New environments. The wounded coast got pretty old after the dozen to trip.

7. Fully voiced again pretty please?

8. I am so over the stupid quanari.

9. oh! One more! I am so very tired of femcharacters not getting their due! Seriously, why wasn't the beautiful fem!hawke marketed along with bro!hawke? It's getting tiring, especially when so many of biowares players are women. They only made us a fem!shep ad by popular demand and Jennifer Hale is a much more talented actress then the bro!sheps actor.

All that to say...I want fem!protagonist marketing, an ad we don't have to demand, and the reversible (or optional woman) cover art and stuff. Seriously, the first thing that happened when I got ME3 was turn the cover art around.

Rant over.

Fem!hawke/Isabella is my one true pairing. She does take off unless she's your Li. Her return is blamed on Hawke's bad influence.

The on duty/off duty clothes would be an addition, but the customizable armor was available in Da:O.

On Tevinter...It's just one of those things...it's the impetus for so much of the action and plot and it's referenced by everyone.

I completely agree about the dialogue tree. I always prefered it to the wheel. Also pass/fail persuade and threaten options. I hate it when the option is just unavailable.

The quanari were okay, but I'm just sick of them now.


As far as the marketing campaign, my only point is, last I heard, women made up 42% of gamers and the percentage goes up when talking about rpg's. I'm tired of seeing games with quality women marketed exclusively to men. Fem!shep is an amazingly strong and competent woman who isn't defined by being sexually attractive, a damsel in distress, a femme fatale, or a man in a woman's body. Same for fem!hawke.

We need to stop hiding these characters behind their male counterparts and let them be part of the marketing campaigns. This sort of thing will attract more female players to games. What I mean is, you might get your girlfriend to play. Seriously, I was not into games at all until hubs-who was boyfriend at that point- handed me da:o, oblivion, portal, and mass effect.

I loved Jack as a character and her romance option was pretty great.

What about Garrus/Femshep? This is one of my favorite plot lines in any video games. It's a relationship that is founded on respect and friendship, like any real life relationship. In ME2 Garrus really did need emotional support from Shep, but in the third game he's often the one who offers the most moral support to Shep. The only time I've ever dried during a video game was the scene where Separd says good bye to Garrus on earth. Heck, even hubs, who was watching teared up.
