Not to argue, but party banter is a really small thing. It's definitely something you dont find in other RPGs, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it's what sets Bioware games apart as in defines them. I like it and plan on not using mounts, too (at least while exploring new areas), but it's simply not that important.

 

I'm not actually sure I'd agree with this. I think the presence of party banter is actually one of the defining features of DA (honestly, it isn't really present in other Bioware games), and it's one of the most simple ways that the party members are brought to life as more than just whatever they show you in the camp/keep/house/etc. Think specifically about DA and how much we learn about the party members purely through banter. Little things like Carver's crush on Merrill, Wynne's skill at identifying the ingredients of Oghren's ale, Fenris and Isabela's thing in act 3. Not only is party banter one of the key ways DA makes its characters feel like 1) characters in their own right, and 2) part of a cohesive unit or group, its actually something that's relatively unique to DA as a franchise. Honestly, the only thing that really comes close to approximating it are the skits in the Tales of series of JRPGs. It doesn't really exist in other Bioware games, let alone other RPG franchises.

Depends on the RPG. It's not unique to Bioware it's just that some people don't play wide range of games.It's common in Bioware games to the point that the game will feel empty without it.

Might be good to take the party banter discussion to a new thread in the Feedback forum?

Pff, no idea if i'll be using horses, then, except for maybe very late in the game. Or just for lulz.

I'm going to reserve judgment on the mounts and actually play the game first.

In game dev terms, this part of the project is called "the Panic Games." Our emblem is a console controller set on fire.

Hi Mark! Any news about the PC Inquisitor edition in europe? Any timeframe when we can order? Has it been cancelled for PC?

 

Mark Darrah @BioMarkDarrah

We are still trying to resolve with GameStop but nothing yet.

 

User

But it is still planned to be available in europe, right?

 

Mark Darrah @BioMarkDarrah

We want it to be. BUT there is a max number that can be made and its being sold through in other places as we work on this.

 

User

Thank you for the quick info! Will we be notified if, worst case, it's not going to be sold in europe so we can switch?

 

Mark Darrah @BioMarkDarrah

I don't know. We don't get super up to date sales numbers from GameStop. I hope so.

I'm pretty sure Ferelden was meant to have horses. They're mentioned a few times in conversation, in fact. Which made their absence even stranger.

 

Lamp posts were also mentioned. I have it on good authority some of them get licked come winter. But we have yet to see one in game.

Just did a playthrough of the DAA-GoA-WH.  It's not a bad staff.  Comes by a bit late game in DAA to enjoy much, but I gave it to Finn later.

But it's fun! :D
 
If it somehow gets cut off, I reload the last save so I can hear it again hahaha


Same. I hate it when spots that trigger banter are right before a loud battle.

Well looks like I'll be walking throughout the whole game. I did it in Skyrim, so I'll manage in DA:I.

Riding horses in Skyrim was more often than not cumbersome due to the ridiculous terrain anyway. Not that I never used them but still.

 

I will probably be doing the same thing as you, walking most of the time. I imagine that would mean more banter as well.

that depends, they might have put most if not all the banter trigger spots in areas they expect you to walk through, and none in areas more designed for horse travel.

That, or you will spend so much extra time walking that you will either get repeated banter, or just run out.
