Yes, Reaving again to get extra damage with lower health!
Yeah. I know it's LOTR, but based on what's been shown of both, I think they're nuts if they think they can best DAI.
I don't see that happening. In both DAO and DA2 I almost exclusively did pause and play the entire time, at the least once at the start of combat to set up some stuff even in common encounters. It's just way more satisfying. DA2 was good and bad because while the camera sucked and encounters were that good, your companions were far more responsive and quick to fulfill your commands so setting up and executing combos was a breeze unlike DAO where you often got screwed by the shuffle and waiting for animations to end.
I believe we first saw Dragon Age: Inquisition about 2 years ago, actually.
Actually, looking it up, the first chatter about it was in 2011, and it was formally announced in 2012. So, yeah, about 2 years.
About 1 and a half years was the official announcement of its development

That looks extremely good. Fully expecting massive downgradeton before launch, though.

I enjoyed even da2 so this next game I am exceptionally excited to play.
When it comes out in early October? It'll look worse on PS360 for obvious reasons. On PS4/XBO and most certainly PC, it'd take some sort of internal disaster for it to not look like what's in that trailer.

This looks interesting except for the lack of gameplay. I hope it turns out great.
I finished Origins but I have no memory of what it was about. That also reminds me that I never played DA2 and I think I scored a cheap copy for my backlog a while back.

Not enough waifus.
Yes.
BioWare Austin seems to be doing something that's not an MMO based on their job postings too: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=751793
Really?
Look at Leliana's arm here for example:
They seem to have done a lot of asset optimization already.
Yeah BioWare doesn't seem like they oversell their games, graphically at least. DAO and DA2 delivered as promised. DA2 on PC even offered a Hi-res texture pack. This game looks great, but it's not out of this world amazing so I would be highly surprised if things were stripped down big time, at least for current gen and PC. 360/PS3 might get hit with the ugly stick, but honestly I'm annoyed they're in the mix to begin with, so I don't really care how good or bad they look. They're dead weight and still the single biggest concern I have with this game.

Looks good, October is looking to be a good month for next gen with Batman and Dragon Age coming out.
People seem to forget this game is running on the same engine as BF4.

I always though both DA looked terrible, to be honest
?GAF, I am disappoint.

Game looks like it has a ton of potential, but it also sounds like, based on the trailer, that the story might be trying too hard to sound "epic" instead of just being epic. Biowares storytelling though has always been in the politics and characters, it amazes me that their stories never seem to focus more on that.
They've talked like they atleast are/were thinking of some kind of multiplayer component, but no one knows if that's actually been implemented or what it is.
Thanks for the heads-up guys, I've edited it straight away, haha
There was this survey where they were inquiring about peoples MP experiences with other bioware games (ME3) and asked how they liked it. If anything I would expect a horde-ish mode co-op, not just cruising around the world with a friend
This trailer was quite confusing. A lot of fast cutting without conveying a whole lot. Not a great deal of visual consistency, even if the visuals are gorgeous. Also, I get that the end of the video "We are the Inquisition." is mostly meant to convey all the characters to the viewer, but man they could have picked some better dialogue. Or even just modified it slightly to make more sense. "We have entered the Inquisition." "We join the Inquisition." "This is an Inquisition."
Visually nice, but still rather incongruous.

You'll be able to create a world state when the game launches, so playing it isn't really necessary.

liked DA1, skipped DA2 after i played the demo and heard it was bad.
DA inquisition looks pretty good though

When they tried main campaign co-op in Mass Effect 3 they had to cut it due to RAM issues with players walking in separate directions and this runs on 360/PS3 still so I'd be quite surprised as well.

I'm hyped for this. With The Witcher 3 pushed back to 2015, I'm itching to play it. Need some fantasy WRPG to scratch the itch.
That's great! Thanks for the answer friend!

8 seconds of gameplay in a gameplay trailer. Maybe we should have a separate thread for calculating how many seconds of gameplay are in these usual gameplay trailers for big budget games. Just as an exercise.
