The Masked Empire, the new DA novel by Patrick Weekes, looks to be up for preorder on various online bookstores. Release date is currently April next year.


I don't see it up on Amazon yet, so I am dubious.

Also, I want to pre-order DA:I so hard.  I know it won't make it come any faster, but it'll make me feel like I am one-mpre-step closer..!!!

They need the extra year to work in all the unconfirmed rumors from the thread. Some of those will be tough, even with a shiny new engine. :P

I'm really thrilled about the later release date. Even if all it means is the game will prettier, more armor/weapon variations are added, and areas made larger/more grand I would be fine with that. Hopefully it also means we get more locations and such like you said, Warden.

I'm really interested in knowing how playing DA3 will be on Xbox One - possible Kinect support perhaps? Will wait for more info before deciding on which platform to preorder the game.

Or maybe Smartglass for inventory management? That could work

Does anyone know if it has been said if possible DLCs to be released on PS4, Xbox One, PC, will also be on the Xbox 360 and PS3? Or will DLC not be given to the older gens?

It's way too early for anyone to be talking about DLC. The game is 16 months away from it's release window. You're severely jumping the gun.

Even so, the answer should be obvious. 

I've never seen a studio make a game for x, x and x platforms but only release DLC for certain platforms.
So to answer the original question, DLC will more than likey be available on every platform the actual game is available for.

I just want to know if I'm going to have to buy the PC versions of DA:O and DA2 to get a complete experience.

Enad: Some of Skyrim's DLC wasn't released on PS3. And what if Microsoft doesn't allow DLC for 360 after the release of the Xbox One?

There was a problem Bethesda had porting the skyrim dlc to the ps3. The last I heard they were working with sony to fix it.
Has nothing to do with Bioware , DAI, or any future DAI dlcs.

Just so I'm sure what you're asking, are you talking about playing Origins and DA2 and their DLC on next-gen consoles? As in, you download them on the PS4, play them and then import those saves to Inquisition on PS4? If that's what you're asking then you're still way jumping the gun. We have no idea if we'll even be able to import saves from Origins/DA2 to Inquisition on 360 and PS3.

So E3 has motivated me to rediscover my BW account. And now I'm back after a very, very extended leave of absence. Hope to have some pleasant discussions with you all about DA:I and the future of the Dragon Age series. :)


Speaking of DA:I, I'm excited for its prospects. From the flavor text on the DA:I site, it seems like the player character will actually have some position of authority this time and be able to exert some influence on a more political level. This is exciting for me as I enjoy non-combat methods of advancing the story and engaging gameplay that this type of thing brings. Hope we get to see some of that here.

From Allan :

"Our trailer was "in engine" in that, it was DA3 assets placed inside the Frostbite engine within existing DA3 levels, and people loading up the game and moving around the camera, creating cinematic sequences, and the like, for the intent of capturing a video for demonstration.

If you were to draw the closest analogue to what the trailer was, it'd be the in game cinematics from DAO and DA2. The only hesitation one might put on "in game" is that upon playing the game at release, someone might go "Hey, where's that scene of the Qunari slowly turning around? I didn't see that in my game!" You might not see a scene that actually has Cassandra stabbing daggers into tables, and you might not come across a scene where Varric is looking over some dead bodies."


That explanation doesn't really hold water to me. The trailer says "ACTUAL GAME FOOTAGE" which obviously means actual game footage. If they were worried about people misconstruing the trailer as being straight out of the game that phrase seems even more damning than "Actual In-Game Graphics." I think they used the FB3 engine like an animation suite and made the assets and animations a whole lot prettier than they actually are.


That is the in-engine footage. Haven't you seen Battlefield 3 at that time? It was one of the most best looking damn game on PC and even Battlefield 4 looks to be more photorealistic than ever before with character models that look like CG, that, my friend, is the power of the Frosbite engine. All that you've seen in Battlefield 4 is actually in-engine! Look at this: http://eaassets-a.ak...jpg?cb=51bf2933 or this http://www.battlefie...f4-hanna-hd.jpg, see? That's the in-engine actual game, if this is possible with Battlefield and DICE, the developers who actually created the Frosbite engine, then it's possible for Bioware to do the same. Jesus, are people these days more suspecious than ever before? 

Believe it or not, but the Frostbite engine is one of the most poweful engines out there, alongside the Unreal Engine and the Cryengine. And Battlefield 3 was one of the most best looking games with cutting-edge visuals at that time, and with Battlefield 4 they seem to be bringin much more improvements. I've played Battlefield 3, and I can see the differences, you haven't seen both Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 personally. So you can't base your judgement on a compressed video with low-res. I've seen and played Battlefield 4 with my own eyes, and everything you've said about it, is false. Keep BSing yourself.

Except that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm making no demands. I'm saying I don't believe you. I don't believe that that trailer was indicative of the graphics of the game in its current state.

People keep saying that but I wholeheartedly disagree. I saw low-fidelity assets and choppy animations in that gameplay demo, as well as a grey-ness that's usually indicative of low-res textures being hidden.

I guess you don't realize that you've just admitted that the trailer is not what the game looks like but what you want it to look like.
If the game ends up looking as good or better than the trailer I will be thrilled. As it stands I find it to be absolutely disingenuous to say that the game is already amazingly polished and animated but the core gameplay mechanics are too undeveloped to even talk about.


You do realize that what you saw in the Battlefield 4 demo isn't complete, right? They've got months of preparation and improvements. Keep in mind, that that is multiplayer, and multiplayer will always have a downgraded graphics than the single-player experience. It seems like you don't know much about Battlefield at all, and clearly you haven't played the game. Low textures? I haven't see any low textures in Battlefield 4. Animation in Battlefield weren't choppy and they were top notch, and there weren't any low-fidelity. Besides, it's still not a complete representative of the game because it's still not done, you fishstick! 

I think you have a burning hatred towards what DICE and Battlefield has accomplished with the Frosbite engine. Have you even played Battlefield 4? Because I actually played the mutliplayer demo at the booths at E3. And I can tell you straightly that the game is so rich in detail, that nothing comes close to it. Photorealistic and all. Besides, it's a freaking huge map, that'[s something to consider. Even Battlefield 3 to this date still looks better than anything on PC and consoles. I wholeheartedly say you're a skeptical who has no proof or evidence to back-up or ******-poor accusations to one of the most powerful engines out there.  I've seen and played Battlefield 4 with my own eyes, and everything you've said about it, is false. Keep BSing yourself.
Again, they still have months to up the ante of the visuals, and Battlefield 4 already looks to be one of the most impressive games out there, in terms of visuals and technology. 

Sorry man, but the truth hurts, the Frosbite engine is a cutting-edge technology, hence why most EA's biggest franchise are using the engine. Just look at the in-engine of Mirror's Edge 2, here: http://media.edge-on...M10-610x344.jpg and http://media.edge-on...ME6-610x344.jpg and http://media.edge-on...ME7-610x344.jpg and http://media.edge-on...ME8-610x344.jpg. Here's a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB4ZZ-2xVWE

And here's what Battlefield 3 looked like with the Frosbite 2 engine back in 2011. I can't imagine how games will look like with the Frostbite 3 engine as it will be a huge improvement than its predecessors. Watch this, you skeptical turtle! 

If you think the Frosbite engine is weak and not capable, then 99% of all other video games engines look more outdated and visually weak. God, this guy is the worst.

It's essentially a large cutscene using the game resources. thus it will be pretty close to what things look like in game. Of course actual game footage is always a bit different because it has a fixed point of view or camera whereas the cutscene editor lets you do alot more with camera panning, close ups and all sorts of other effects.

Anyone that has never looked at the Dragon Age toolset and the cutscene editor within should give it a look and try it out. It has a bit of a learning curve but is pretty fun to play around with and gives a person a better appreciation how cutscenes and trailers like this are put together.


Pretty close? I'd say this is how the game will look like, no matter what you thought of the trailer. It's running in-engine, and we all know that this is the Frosbite engine. Haven't you how Battlefield 3 looked better than any game at the time of its release? Specifically on PC? It still looks better than most games. Battlefield 4 looks even more photorealistic, and the character models look like actual CG.

Once again, what you saw in BF4's demo wasn't the actual final product? Are that much of a narrow-minded person? It's NOT the final product, and yet it look amazing and better than most games that I've played at E3. You don't know jack ****. 99% of the games you saw at E3 won't be the final representation of the acual retail game. 

And I've been played Battlefield 3 for a very long time, the animation isn't choppy seeing as Battlefield 4 uses the same animation but more smoother. Again, you don't know jack ****. Your accusations are full of BS. 

And even if the animation was choppy and having low-fidelity assests and grey-ness of textures to cover-up, that's to be expected from a product that is yet NOT FINISHED? UNDERSTOOD? Do you comprehend what people are telling you? Or were you oblivious to the facts to hate on something.

FACT 1: Frostbite engine is a cutting-edge technology and one of the most powerful engines out there, I've said it a thousand times. Just by look at other games, there's no comparison except for the Red engine used in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3.

FACT 2: Battlefield 3 still looks better than most games, the PC version specifically, and it's a 2 years old game that used the Frosbite 2 engine. One can only imagine what the Frosbite 3 could do, and we've seen a lot of games using the Frosbite 3 engine at E3 that's the most impressive and powerful than any other, with the exception of a few engines here and there like the Red Engine and the FOX engine. 

FACT 3: The trailer of DA:I IS the actual in-engine visuals. Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 has amazing character models, so I believe Bioware can pull it off. 

I believe that your accusations are BS due to the fact that you haven't seen any footage regarding Battlefield 3 or Battlefield 4. Have you seen the single-player aspect of the game? Again, as I mentioned, the single-player will always have better visuals than the multiplayer aspect of that game. Not just Battlefield, but even Uncharted and 99% of all video games that have multiplayer. Again, I suggest you zip it and wait. 

I don't see why you're getting all jacked up, you probably have some sort of beef with the Frostbite engine in particular or Battlefield. I pity you, poor soul.
