Chris, I know you guys are sticking to the "show and tell" policy, but would it be out of order to ask what stage development's at? I know Mark said it's been on the go for 18 months (IIRC), but where does that take you? Are parts of the game playable?


Sorry. Absolutely no hints until Mark Darrah allows me to give them.



:devil:


Well, ask him when you can. How about ask him if you can tell us the height of the playable character. You know, like 5 foot 6 inches... or you know... Variable!?!

Because they like watching us speculate until our eyeballs roll out of their sockets :D

Remember, Gaider feasts on our tears!

LOL.  I would too if I were in his shoes.  They're entitled to a bit of cackling if they're gonna take all our yelling about "OMG END OF BIOWARE" after each game is released.

Alas.  It was worth a try.  Perhaps we should bribe them with baked goods.

Possibly but P:E isn't stated for release until 2014. Now if Inquisition's release date is pushed back from 'late 2013' into 2014 then I would have no choice but to thoughfully rub my chin and go 'hmmmmmm...' (thoughtful pose & smoking of pipe optional, of course!)


We are really this cynical to presume that?

From what I gathered, they announced this just to stop the rumors and leaks. I doubt it has anything to do with project eternity or obsidian right now.

When will we hear more about the game?
How about now-ish?

Well before the official announcement of Dragon Age 3:Inquisition a lot of significant information was leaked. The information was used in product surveys to gather feedback on everything from the game's title to the companions. Inquisition was one of the options on the survey for the title, so that information is pretty much 100% confirmed.

***SPOILERS AHEAD! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!***

We got 2 product descriptions of the overall plot of DA3 from the surveys.
This was the first-

"The great nation of Orlais, the most powerful empire in Dragon Age, tears itself apart in civil war. The stout men and women of Ferelden struggle to recover and reclaim their nation from the horde of vile Darkspawn that lay waste to its lands a decade ago. The Chantry, the once-unified faith of the Dragon Age world stands divided. The Templar Order has broken away, claiming the church has become too lax in policing the dangerous powers of the mages. The mage Circles have rebelled, believing the Templars have become too strict, too zealous in their duties, and too quick to slaughter those who dare step out of line.
The World of Dragon Age is on the brink of collapse, and when a desperate gathering in the name of peace becomes the epicenter of a magical blast that decimates the Chantry's leadership, it becomes clear that someone or something is manipulating events to drive the world to chaos.
From the ashes of that explosion, something new arises- the Inquisition. As the Inquisitor, it falls to you to build your power and martial your forces, uncover secrets and build connections across the world. You must explore forgotten places, uncover ancient mysteries and uproot those who would destroy the delicate fabric of the world."

And this was the second, translated from German by a forumite here-

"A portal between the worlds unleashes hords of demons in the land, civil
wars rip apart nations and the corruption is limitless. Someone is
behind the shadows, drawing the threads which destroy the world. Time
has come for the Inquisition.

Take the Inquisitor's cloak and
lead the only force able of bringing light into the darkness. Choose the
direct method and gather your armies, send spies into the shadows or
engage in a political war, make friends and use your connections
indirectly: it is up to you how you lead the inquisition. But you'll
have to take lead of it from the beginning. Make your player a rogue,
warrior or mage and set up your crew from up to ten (!) complex
companions to lead them against those who attack you by systematically
spying on, revealing and destroying them."

And here are descriptions of several companions-

"Cole- A long time ago, a young man died a cruel death is dark place. And now, somehow, there is Cole. Was he a spirit or a demon? Is he human now? Cole is not sure it matters any more. Hounded by memories that aren't his own, invisible in a world he can stalk like a shadow, the rogue must decide between joining the living or preying upon them."

"Dorian-Dorian Pavus is a Tevinter magister. The title conjures fear of arcane master who once enslaved nations. Dorian may wield the power of the magisters, but he delights in not being what you would expect. Brazen and clever, this outcast is on a crusade to rid his homeland of its corruption."

"The Iron Bull- The Iron Bull is a long way from home, and he prefers it that way. A slap in the face of typically humorless Qunari(Kossith), he loves drinking, killing and looting- but not necessarily in that order. The head of a vicious mercenary company, he's known for excellent pay and brutal punishment. It's been a decade-long party, but the Bull may find that old loyalties die hard."

"Sera- Sera is young, frenetic, and a brat through and through. She revels in the athleticism of being an elf, of being different. But her culture isn't elven, or for that matter strictly human. It's the underbelly of the city in her network of rogues; what you do it more important than where you're from, and friends open more doors than titles. Robs from the rich to keep for herself."

Cullen, Cassandra and a Grey Warden are also listed as companions. Art of Cassandra and the Grey Warden was previously shown by Bioware to illustrate their new campanion customization system.

Concept art was also leaked, showing several of the companions listed and a few others.

The art can be viewed here-

These concepts were also listed as possible additions/focal points to DA3:Inquisition-


- online/co-op mode
- special finishing moves
- a lot of crucial decisions
- drama and suspense
- player-controlled day/night cycles
- better party management
- 4 companions at a time

Gonna have to go with the choir on this one. Not that I'm expecting every detail right away, but if you're going to officially announce a new game, I would think we should know something more than just "new game engine" for the next four months. What's there to talk about here that couldn't have been relegated to the DA2 general discussion until something concrete emerges?


Eh, I can wait.  It's been an open secret for months now.  This just confirms what we already knew.

Nah, the leaks were weeks ago.  And we know nothing more today than we did yesterday except the name "Inquisition."  They haven't really quashed any rumors or anything from the surveys just by announcing the game we all already knew was being developed anyway.

In other news though...interesting that they keep having these leaks, especially after what happened to ME3's storyline.

The way it happens is someone knows a guy who has evidence of what happens, and they decided to post about it because they don't care about the leaks, they wanted to get the story.

It basically happens because people are too eager to not share information, and suffer when someone is not professional or confidential about it.

Chris, when you say "next year", you mean sometime in 2013, right? Not necessarily "an entire 12 months from now"?

Oh indeed. That must be it. It couldn't be because of the reasons Mark mentioned in the blog now could it? The leaks, the team wanting to be able to talk more openly about the project, etc?

Naw, it must be because, by announcing DA3 today we are somehow doing something negative to the awesome looking Project Eternity (which fully funded, so I'm not sure how we're hurting it. Plus Chris Avallone would kick my butt next time I see him).

Good theory there, champ.



:devil:

I know many BW devs support PE, but these two posts heavily contradict each other. The leak happened a while ago, so the gears coincidentally turning at a speed that has them reach DA3:I's official announcement during the roaringly successful Kickstarter campaign of the game's likely primary indie competition does seem a bit iffy as funding goal reached ≠ full stretch goal potential reached. I don't think it will divert much attention and cut much into it, but it very well could. Depends on how much, if any, old-school-appeasing info gets released during the Kickstarter campaign. So, just saying that you could hurt them, not that you necessarily want to.

Well said. 

I know BioWare has a long history of working with Black Isle/Obsidian.  I just think it's very unfortunate or at least interesting the timing of the announcement.  I don't understand the thought process behind announcing a game you aren't talking about...

Yeah, and we'd liek to give it to you, but the team isn't rushing the game, so it has to be ready before it gets shown.

We'll hold you guys to it.  ;)
