Well it's been a great week for games so far, first Project Eternity and now Dragon Age Inquisition to look forward to.
Better pay off the credit card.

It's an EA engine, so maybe because it's easily available for the devs?

It certainly has its perks. I think there's already quite a "teamwork" element going on in some of the collaborations that have gone on with DICE. They continue to work with us on some aspects of the engine based on our needs, while we continue to add to the engine and make it more versatile in their own rights.

In this case, Frostbite 2 becomes more flexible and potentially allows other studios to leverage the gains that we contribute as well.

Considering that the Dragon Age series was a game about importing your decisions and has an open ability of importing your characters; I'd say that option is always up for debate.

Part of the frustration with the series is how the developers have ignored or handwaved our past decisions. I think their handwaving of the Magi boon, the Dalish boon, Leliana's death, Oghren's death, Cullen's fate, and other issues that were rectoned has shown the frustration, considering the developers said our choices would matter.

Considering your charecter is head of the inquisition, it's doubtfull you'll transfer your charecter from DA:o or DA2. one is a warden that has no bussiness getting in bed with the chantry, and the whole point of DA2 as that the inquisition is looking for hawke, so he's obviously not in charge. Since we know leliana is involved with them I assume that the warden from the first game would've been her first choice.

What makes you think the protagonist will be the head of the Inquisition, or even a member of this organization? If the protagonist is automatically a member of a proto-templar group, I'm not really certain this will appeal to people who dislike the Chantry and the templars.

All in all I have mixed feeling about the game. from one side they finaly moved to a new engine, frostbite 2 like many a players asked; So we should see a serious bump in graphics. If it won't look atleast as good as skyrim (a game released more than a year and a half before it), I'd be seriously dissapointed.

From the other side, the story sounds very unappealing to me. I don't see myself wanting to play someone whose a member, let alone in charge, of an organisation calling itself the inquisition. It just have so many bad conotations; first and foremost is religious intolerance, turture, and forced conversion. Hardly heroic or champion-like. I'm sure they have some decent story in mind, but what i'm imagining is turturing dalish, dwarves and Qunari and forcing them to convert under pains of death.

Seriously, what were they thinking? Is there anywhere IRL or in fantasy where belonging to the "inquisition" was considered a good thing? The only fantasy example I can think off is warhammer, and the inquistion there are known for mass executing their own armies after victory.

In any case - TAKE MY MONEY!

Same here 

Whether the majority will hate it or love it, BioWare can have my money.

It's what the IGN report said. According to them, you'll be sending your companions to spy on people, reveal and destroy them.

Yay /sarcasm

I think it's importent that they'll make it easily moddable, unlike the ME series. A rich modding community is the secret to the longevity of games like skyrim and the witcher 2.

If the script leak is to be believed, the Inquistion will be a neutral third party attempting to root out a melevolent new force that is manipulating the Mage Templar war for unknown, but can be safely assumed, very bad reasons.

Since it's an EA engine, does that mean a toolset is a possibility?

That's the rumors i've read as well. I believe that this 'puppet master' is behind a lot more chaos, than just the Mage/ Templar War.

Are the rumors suggesting that the player will be pushing the reset button for the Mage / Templar dichotomy?

I haven't read that. But i have read that the Mage/ Templar conflict, will only be part of DA 3.

That's the same excuse such groups use when their in power for persequting religious/ethnic minorities. Nothing calms the plebs like pinning all their problem on some minority like the elves.

[Mike3207]

I'm very unenthused about a game called Inquisition-no doubt this will be the last Dragon Age.

This behaviour is part of the problem, just as all the hate is.

Just stopped by to say I am hopeful and looking forward to see where this is going. I may be in the minority but I liked the story and combat of DA2, DA:O combat always just felt sluggish to me (full disclosure yes I am a console gamer). My only hope is for Leliana and Cassandra to at least be companions. Also if this gets put on Wii U I may have to buy that console.

Also to people about importing decisions, my guess is that BioWare may still incorporate this to some extent. The story is continuing from DA2 so the decision on who started the uproar may still be important.

[Warden661]

I think that the only thing we can say about the game is that there will be an Inquisition that takes place. Wether or not the new protagonist is at the head of it is pure speculation IMO. You could say that it would make sense that the new PC will be the leader (or at least an important person) of the Inquistion from the biginning of the game all the way to the end but I beleive that would put him/her too far into the side of the Chantry and their goals.

What I think (want) is that your character will be someone who can either join or oppose the Inquisition. Maybe. Probably not, but it's just my opinion.

[ImperatorMortis]

Yeah.. I'm in the wait, and see crowd. I won't be pre-ordering this one. If it turns out to be good, then I'll buy it.

[Tor_pedo]

Frostbite 2? Yes please! Lets blow **** up with fireballs and dwarven explosives! Cant get in through that locked door? No problem! Just stone-fist the ****er Keep getting groped by your companion? Cut off his arm! I bet he's sorry now! Anyhow, I think inquisition could be fun, unless you get a naggy old hag for a companion like Wynne who keeps crampin' yo' style, if y'know wat i'm sayin'.

I disagree that the series has been about importing your decisions.

The first game has many plot elements that explicitly handicap game imports that make it very challenging to work around from a game import process.

I agree. I was honestly surprised when I heard you could import into DA2. And as I've said a few times on these boards I think it was a little bit of a mistake to allow it in the first place. That the games needed to react to the player within the games and not have to worry about imports.

It worked for older RPGs. Just because Mass Effect does it doesn't mean all BioWare games should. And frankly the end result with Mass Effect really just came down to "Who's alive to fill this space in this section of the game?" And then everything else was given a ranked number that sometimes defies logic like how a handful of ME2 companions are collectively worth a batarian or elcor fleet.

[Dirty Whore]

i'm cautious but optimistic...

when the resources are all there it all comes down to execution. Can B-Ware recapture the magic?

[Jones7602]

I'm quite happy, that they announced DA3, but I can't say I'm excited. The way it is announced makes me think, that this was only done due to Project Eternity, which I suppose will be the biggest rival of the DA franchise. with PE out in 2014 I'm also not sure if late 2013 for DA3 is good news or bad news. Simply depends on this being the planned release date with plenty of coding time, or if was set to this date, to ship earlier than PE. But what really keeps me from jumping for joy is, what we know about the story. I also don't want to be part of an organization called the inquisition. Sounds like I will not be able to chose the mage side or roleplay something completely different. Well, lets wait see, hopefully soon!
