I've been on DAI for.. two and a half years now? And it is amazing to go from 'here's a toolset, sorta' to 'holy **** it's almost a game!'

I hope we're going to vist the big Necropolis in Nevarra.
The second I've read about mummies living in a fancy place , with ballroom and everything, I wanted to go there.Extra creepy if the mummies are still dancing!


That is THE dream for visiting Nevarra for me. Probably the third biggest want for Inquisition all together after Aeonar and an Orlesian Ball complete with Vivienne being ****y and or sassy.

I really hope the whole thing is well put together though. Like a beautiful, serene area, but deadly silent and the clear sense that something is not quite right. As in the Harrimann estate, but genuinely creepy and not pervy creepy or just plain weird due to bad animations. It could be amazing, or it could be terrible.

David Gaiders blog on a "playable first build". lol

"[...]What ‘first playable’ actually constitutes will vary from developer to developer. There’s no real standardization of terms in terminology outside of the broadest sense, but for us ‘first playable’ sits squarely in the pre-Alpha period. It means that you are capable of running through the game’s story from beginning to end without having to use debug commands—if you’re lucky. And that’s all it means.

Some of those areas will be near-complete, the things we’ll have shown publicly by that point, and you’ll think, “Hey, this almost looks like a game!” Then the next area will be a featureless grey plain with enemies running at you in T-pose. You’ll talk to a character whose hair is floating slightly off his head, and the Face FX keep twisting his lips so they peel away from his teeth in a horrific manner. And at the end of every sentence his eyeballs briefly float a foot in front of his face.[...]"

I'd be okay if the release date was pushed to 2015. The more time to polish the game the better

Will we get to explore the Tevinter Imperium?


Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw

No. Not in Inquisition. Future? Maybe!



DARN!!!!!!!! :crying:


Good Tevinter deserve its stand alone "chapter".


What a pity.

Bah, there surely will be a standalone DA game featuring Tevinter and the rest of the North.

@fridaymania ]@[/color]Mike_Laidlaw [color=rgb(102, 181, 210)">@BioMarkDarrah @dragonage @potatoe57 Nevarra is confirmed.


@Mike_Laidlaw @dragonage Officially? I thought it was just a rumoured location at this point?
 

‏@Mike_Laidlaw @potatoe57 @fridaymania @dragonage it is not confirmed. Some article said it.



Probably nothing but I thought I might as well ask about Nevarra. Perhaps somewhat interestingly Mike doesn't state Nevarra isn't in the game like he did with Tevinter.

Nevarra is a lock, how the hell would we not get there at some point, that country borders Orlais and Free Marches

Also they did do a fair bit of work in the World of Thedas fleshing out Nevarra's internal politics, different factions, and the lore around mummies/mausoleums.

Sad to see that Tevinter won't be shown in DAI. It's the one nation I want to visit the most. Hopefully we'll see it in a future game in the series, and I'm even willing to bet on it, since Gaider once said that Minrathous was the one city he wanted to see in Dragon Age the most (or something along those lines, I can't find the link to where he said it).

Maybe Tevinter be a expansion pack or a whole game of its own. The second would be so cool.

Tevinter as an expansion pack would be really cool, actually. I hope we get to go there one day.

Tevinter should be it's own game, featuring Par Vollen and Seheron, not an expansion pack.

Yeah, I knew that when they started talking about the scope of the game being, "From Eastern Ferelden to Western Orlais" and the map reveal in the gameplay video to not get my hopes up about seeing Tevinter.

But I really think Tevinter should be saved for it's own game, where you can really do it (and the Qunari conflict) justice.

That said, I am still curious where this piece of concept art is located, given the jungle-like foliage...

Probably is, it's just very... jungle-y for a region so far to the south.
