Today @Jacques_Lebrun from @bioware talks to us about creating Dragon Age Inquisition on the Frostbite Engine http://www.frostbite.com/2014/08/creating-biowares-first-rpg-on-the-frostbite-engine/ …
IF they wanted to release a version for the modder of that editor they should have passed through a lot of level of dumbing down.
Wired's Interview with Mike Laidlaw & Mark Darrah - Part II
http://www.wired.co....ion-interview-2
Is having a more significant challenge something integral to the Dragon Age experience?
ML: I think it's important to have scaling challenge because there are players who I feel play Dragon Age for the wonder, story and exploration but wouldn't enjoy getting their butts handed to them. We do still have easy mode -- it's not a pure story mode in that there's zero combat, but it's not super-challenging. We have normal mode, which is a lot like Dragon Age 2. That had some interesting ideas, where you had too many quite weak enemies that were one-shot killed, but that didn't quite hit what we wanted which was more like a pitched battle. If you just trade blows, there are more of them than you and they're going to win. We've always seen our games as being quite ability-driven. It's your spells, your moves, those are what really turn the tide. They're game-changers.
MD: We want normal mode to be a little more challenging than DA2 because sometimes that felt trivial. The problem there is that if it feels trivial and then you hit a boss, you haven't developed any skills for handling tough enemies. We want normal mode to teach you things, like to recognise when an enemy's telegraphing a move and you should not be under his giant club-arm, because he will crush you. Easy will be more forgiving but on normal you'll have to dodge, but it won't be hard to dodge. The team will also help. We took a look at some of the changes our guys made in Mass Effect 3in terms of how characters interact, and we thought that we could make things more challenging but also keep them fair with things like telegraphs. They also go faster on the higher difficulties. If a guy roars and holds his arm up for a couple beats on normal, on hard he just goes "wham!" and you need to be dodging as he lifts. You can't afford that wait.
Ah, there's Lord Hrungr! I'd thought that maybe Darth Roxy had already staged her coup.

That sounds better

Kudos to Roxy for getting all these tweets - I'm still catching up!
I have agreed to do my first convention.
It's called @FanboyExpo I have no idea what's to expect
Should be fun … http://www.whosay.com/l/dNO97Dr
Did anyone else notice Cullen was in the screenshot of Frostbite in that blog?

Never heard of it. Hmmm ....
Somebody should probably link him to this story from Mark Waid just so he can be prepared in case of Annie Wilkes. (Relevant info is halfway down the page.)

This was a interesting screen too...

For a second I thought " What did I do?" lol and then it came to me "Oh Roxy Ferret" derp! 
I wouldn't be surprised if they do a panel, and one of the devs makes a statement and says, "I'm sure Hrungr's is relating it now."
First things first though - must... have... coffee...

Sorry for the confusion Roxy! I'll try to be moderately less confusing in the future.

Oh I thought it was an actual screenshot of Cullen.
If you're at PAX and get a chance to play multiplayer, I'd love to hear (and maybe retweet!) your thoughts.
Ooo, cinematography! CG camera work is kinda my thing... I wrote a thesis on 3D previs for my MFA, ok? Ok.
For anyone interested, OTS refers to an Over-The-Shoulder shot, CU would be Close-Up, med would be Medium shot, etc.

There are some interesting tidbits if you look closely though...
Cullen: That is not my title. We are not templars any longer...
Cullen: Your kind killed...
Cullen: Shut your...

I'm hoping for "Shut your pie hole!" personally

I'm not sadly, but I have a burning question: is local co-op possible? Can me and my gf play together on our Xbox?
No, sorry. It's one client per console.

I know we're seeing it completely out of context and have no idea what's going on, but that little snippet right there makes it look like Cullen has a bit of a temper. 
Neat stuff.

No no need to be sorry lol I just got up from bed so my brain wasn't functioning very well atm.

Indeed. That said, we can see is that there is an "Angry Mage" & "Angry Templar" involved as well as something about "Rage" and "Loathe"...
