Anything else juicy for us, EP?
I'm not entirely comfortable with quoting whole slabs of the magazine, so I think it's also good to track it down and buy it if you can.

(I should say: I'm quoting from my digital copy, but everyone should definitely pick up the magazine if they can. There's a tonne of impressions and stuff about Dragon Age that I didn't mention here.)
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."
Interesting,
I wonder if judgements can also be for...giving promotions to henchmen for a job well done in assisting the inquisitor in a great battle (upgrading the henchmen to an agent) as well as giving them a new shinier armor to go along with their promotion.
It also could serve as a way to give yourself a home field advantange in any diplomacy quests.
PATRICK LOOKS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM
Must be something in the water.
Blood drive at @bioware. They drove us to CBS in the "blood mobile," which was kinda funny on the way there and REALLY funny on the way back

So, spoiler: I think I know what caused the Breach. I think it was a bear. I have fought two bears so far, and they WRECK YOUR ****.
I've been able to play the game I'm working on lately. I enjoy being a little dwarf inquisitor. Wrecking everything.

"The characters I'm writing that have been announced..." - Patrick Weekes
What does that mean? As in he's writing an important NPC like Celene?

Yes that's how I understood it.
Sounds cool. Is that going to be a video thing?

And THEN I hit a fight that suggested I should return to this area once I have better tactics for "enormous dudes with 2-headed mauls."
Patrick Weekes @PatrickWeekes 2m
Like if you go into tac-cam mode and the bad guy has a maul with two wolf-heads on it? You best bring your A-Game.
Patrick Weekes @PatrickWeekes 2m
It apparently takes a VERY confident bandit to carry a two-wolf maul.
Sounds cool. Is that going to be a video thing?
I don't know... I'll fire off a tweet.

I should never be allowed to play any class with a Stealth-type power, ever.

Do you plan to add assault rifles? Perhaps a black widow sniper rifle

I loved the rogue animations... I was on the fence between warrior and rogue but now I'm set with rogue dual wield for my first playthrough.
This is great cause now I can lug along the Queen Trifecta: Vivienne Cassandra and Dorian.

I applaud your taste.

Yup, and it'll shoot mini dragon bullets
Toss the Dwarf? Anyone, no?

He's pretty dense according to Iron Bull. Tossing the elf is better.

RT @jessrkeys: @PatrickWeekes @NerdAppropriate I loved this interview! And I am soooo freaking relieved the asari escaped to Dragon Age.

The Solas thread was a giant amount of courageous and inspired folks sharing their insecurities en masse today. Tough to match.

On Skyhold, from PC Gamer:
"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. But some, like addressing the Chantry in Val Royeux, are tied to the main plot."
Thank you Elite and guys!!!!! Val Royeaux confirmed!
