Re: Dragon Age III: Inquisition

That's okay with me. Way too many games coming out in October that I want.

Re: Dragon Age III: Inquisition

I'm psyched about this game, but in reality I won't have time to really dig into it until next year around March. If it's early 2015 I won't be too bummed.

RPG Site - Discussing Inquisition and Beyond with Dragon Age's Creative Director

My goal with Inquisition is to have stuff that people don't find. I actually sent out a little demand: every single level must have at least one cave no one ever tells me to go in. No quests, no pointers, nothing. I don't care where you put it: I don't want to know where it is! Obviously, the team took that to heart and went even further.

PC Gamer preview - Skyhold, passing judgement and the Inquisition

About Skyhold:

"It’s detailed, cavernous, but more importantly, there’s more stuff you can do in Skyhold than on Commander Shepard’s ship. Past the tavern, stables, courtyard, kitchen, and dungeon (for imprisoning people, not slaying rats, I learn), I step to the War Table. Here, a dozen or so operation markers populate a world map: scouting missions, a task to gain the friendship of the dwarven kingdom of Orzammar or to recruit an arcanist. You complete these micro-quests entirely through the menu, and they grant modest benefits: gold, loot, resources, or adding more ‘agents’ who join the Inquisition."

"... part of playing Inquisitor means decorating Skyhold manually: everything from the windows, throne, banner, and heraldry to the drapes can be swapped in a menu."

___

There's also a long section on how the Inquisition can "pass judgement" on certain people as a result of quests - the example they gave was dealing with a barbarian tribe after defeating their leader in battle. The judgement sequences come after some story events and offer the player a way to reflect on what just happened.

"Laidlaw underlines the value on getting players to look backward rather than simply anticipating the next quest. “Inquisition, moreso than many of our other games, takes a moment to just ask ‘how you feeling?’ and have characters dig into why you did what you did. And to try to understand the Inquisitor’s mind. And they’re some of my favourite moments in the game,” he says."

___

"Some operations, like this one, are instantly resolved, but others ask you to pick which of your three advisors – Josephine (political), Cullen (military), or Leliana (spying) – is the right fit for the job, making them temporarily unavailable. You can visit with all three of these support characters inside Skyhold.

Also nestled into the War Table (but separated from operations) are Inquisition perks, which draw on influence that you gain from exploring Thedas and completing quests. (If power is “Inquisition gold,” as Darrah puts it, influence is Inquisition XP, effectively.) There are four perk types: Forces, Secrets, Connections, and simply ‘Inquisition’, the first three of which are tied to the aforementioned advisors. A Forces perk might increase your potion capacity by four; a Secrets perk might increase the XP you earn from picking up codex entries; one Connections perk grants better merchant offers on rare items. Skyhold changes as a reflection of which perks you favour, although I wasn’t told how."

Re: Dragon Age III: Inquisition

I tried the first game and couldn't get into it; the combat was too cumbersome for me and the story seemed just okay. So I skipped the 2nd game too, which I here was kind of dumbed down from the first game. How is this game shaping up? the videos look interesting. Does it stray from the formula of the first 2 games? I played and enjoyed Dragon's Dogma and I am wondering if I would enjoy what this game has to offer. Any opinions/info would be appreciated.

Re: Dragon Age III: Inquisition

Never played any of these games but I've heard a lot about it. Is this open world style? Similar to fallout or skyrim at all?

Re: Dragon Age III: Inquisition

I want this now....

One things for sure. Due to my ADD I am going to start this game and refuse to play anything else until I finish it.
That's the plan anyways.

Re: Dragon Age III: Inquisition

Man, this game just keeps looking better. I assumed Destiny would take up all of my fall and winter gaming time with so many other games being delayed, but the more I see of Inquisition, the more excited I get.

The gameplay looks fantastic, the world is bigger, and the graphics (for this type of game) are killer.

BioWare stops by the IGN booth with a brand new demo of Dragon Age: Inquisition, live from Gamescom.

I was on the fence but that last video sold me. I love the UI design with the cards and map. Stuff like that really appeals to me.

Re: Dragon Age III: Inquisition

Co-op multiplayer revealed:

FAQ

Dragon Age multiplayer is an action-packed dungeon-crawling four-player co-op experience that lets gamers play with their friends for the first time in the Dragon Age franchise.

Following the success of Mass Effect 3's multiplayer mode, Dragon Age multiplayer includes fast-paced matches requiring strategic team gameplay while adding Inquisition's tactical class combat and extensive loot and crafting systems.

IGN

Inquisition’s story is an enormous, 200 hour commitment for completists, so BioWare wants multiplayer to work in short 20-30 minute bursts. Each of the three multiplayer campaigns available at launch randomly generates a large level comprised of smaller sections. you’ll fight through five of 10 pre-designed areas in one go, each with distinct variables. Next time, you may see the same stage in a new spot, or an entirely different collection of arenas entirely, all with different enemy encounters, ideally making multiplayer missions replayable indefinitely.
