Dragon Age Inquisition Launch Trailer (hot) and Release Date (October 7th)
- Thread starter H3xum
- Start date
oh ok.
Its just that I have no previous experience with DA and this trailer really gripped me with the action scenes.
Guess I gotta wait for actual details and reviews.

Looks darn good.
Rushed development?
This looks indeed great, not so sure about the animations. Won't buy at release because of possible bugs and the river of DLCs, will eventually buy a complete/GOTY edition.
The only thing I'm scared about is the fact that there's a PS3/X360 version.
Thanks, going to swoop this and put it in OP

I'm torn. On one hand this looks great, but on the other hand I found both other Dragon Age games to be disappointing. Will approach with caution.

Yeah.
The trailer looks great but so did DA2. Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on you. I tend to take this approach with EVERYTHING EA/BIO does now. I have been burned too many times and considering DA2 was one of my most disappointing games of last gen i am going to have to wait till i hear impressions.
I hope it turns out amazing because i love, love, love Dragon Age and would love another good Dragon Age. I think the "AAA" market needs more RPGs like the original DA.
Then the game is going to be absolutely awful and not worth a purchase. I seriously hope the dev team learned their lesson regarding what people want from a Dragon Age game.

Wait, do you want it to be pure action?
IMO it needs to be more like DA:O. I think the dev team has said they are moving more that direction.
I don't want to put you off, but I just know that if you approach this thinking it's going to play like Dragon's Dogma or Dark Souls, you'll be pretty disappointed.
Just trying to make sure people check their expectations.
They said that, but in all the demos of combat shown off, it really looks like DA2's combat, but with a few more free combat actions (like the scorpion spear for the Warrior, the roll, etc...)
Keep in mind these lines from Kotaku's preview:
Kotaku said:
So basically those expecting Dragon's Dogma will be sorely disappointed, but so will people expecting Dragon Age:Origins combat. This is not a pure RPG. It's an action RPG.
It's clear that Bioware is still pushing (silently) the whole "Think like a general, fight like a Spartan" ideology.

I actually have the desire to go back and replay the previous games but DA:O on PC is so poorly optmized, it constantly overheats my CPU. Thank god for Dragon Age Keep.

Well, I am suitably hyped. Mass Effect 3 has made me super wary of purchasing a Bioware game since I completed it, but I think I may well have to plonk down cash day one for this.
It's a huge bummer that the big-tittied pirate chick isn't among the main cast this time though. She was ace.

Looking great. So excited for this gen. Was so burnt out on last gen for a couple of years.

Fellow on the far right "Warrior, Grey Warden?" looks a heck of a lot like Duncan from Dragon Age: Origins.

Never played a DA game, and I know that it's been discussed already, but is it like hot key/KOTOR style gameplay?

Just need an amzn link to ps4 version and Im set.
Looks great and was rather surprised to see a trailer on today. Now Im in the mood to go through the previous ones again this summer

The shot in the forest is beautiful.
Ha ha, what timing, coming right after a playthrough of DA2. The art direction is off the charts and that forest area!
So it looks like Varric, Cassandra, and Leliana are coming back. Morrigan was in the reveal trailer. I wonder what state of the world Bioware is going with, like if Alistar is king or not, etc.
Damn, and the release date is sooner than expected. Exciting times.

Dragon Age: Origins, yes.
Dragon Age 2, less so.
Dragon Age: Inquisition, apparently even less so.

Dunno whether to get this for PS3 or finally bite the bullet and get a PS4 for it.
Wait, does Varric have a beard? Why would they do that? = (
What's the problem there? Get DA:I day one and pick up the piss-poor fanfic game when it's on sale. = P

Time to take DA: Origins out of my backlog and into my PS3.

I don't recall having to let go of any characters to learn blood magic in the first one. I learned it via
having the demon in the dream world of the kid teach it to me as my reward for letting her stay.
FAHCK.
That was Leliana? Well this now means my character's potential LI's has gone down by one and I'm now only left with the the bow elf, unless we can remove the maleficent helmet on the mage on the left because I don't go for cosplay, which if we can I guess I still have two options. Still, this means they brought back both of my choices from DAO but I refuse to go for Morrigan because she's hitched with my protag from the first game. And I'm pretty sure the Bioware guys said she wasn't an option.

From what we know, Leliana is not a companion. The only previous companion who is also a companion in DA:I is Varric.
There are several shots of him in artwork. One of which shows him shirtless at a gallows snapping off what looks to be a Grey Warden pendent. Duncan is dead though, dude is total worm food and this guy is big and hulking warrior. Hope he's from Anderfels and not Orlais or anything.
So they went with the 'only one to survive' story.
Anyway, looks good so cautiously waiting for the actual game.
I wonder if we will ever see a storyline where player is just a normal imperial towns guard which happens to run into a lone survivor and has to skate trough all the bullshit he/she does..
Would be exceptionally fun if the game would randomize some aspects, like if the guy would be important or not in the long run. (similar how Blade Runner did..)

Glad they went with the in engine gameplay route rather than CG mix route
Games like these are my ultimate weakness and why I still am an avid gamer

They've said that
Players who do not have or choose not to import a world-state into Inquisition will be provided a default "canon" as in Dragon Age II: an "Ultimate Sacrifice" Dalish Warden, Alistair made King, and Hawke a mage who sided with the mages in DA2

You better edit that fast.
