Did they say anything in regards to being able to choose your background? Like if you can decide between dalish or city elf when choosing that race for your PC.


Since re-introducing races, the backgrounds are in flux, basically.  They aren't entirely certain yet what they're going to do with them.

Thanks for all these answers btw. Are there any more Bioware/DA panels at PAX?


Aside from an ambigously named "Dragon Age Inqusition Behind the Scenes" panel, no more DAI specific ones.  A few are general BioWare which tend to not feature new DAI news.

Vague, nonspecific ones about a Qunari and an Elf.  Very much a "Well we've shown a lot of characters we haven't identified to you yet..." kind of deal.

I'll take that as a confirmation for Iron Bull.

The Qunari and Elf are Sera and Iron Bull, both of them appeared in recent concept arts.
And the Grey Warden, we have seen him several times lately.

Will there be NG+ this time?
Will there be multiple endings that are not a forced "I am sorry no happiness for you" situations?

Im not aware of which characters and what roles are confirmed and unconfirmed. I know more about DAI - via other means covered by an NDA - than what has been said at PAX, so I'm restricting myself to things said at PAX only. You know, so I don't leak stuff by accident.

At PAX, the companions shown were Vivienne, Cassandra, and Varric. No others were named, discussed, or even confirmed to exist.

Nobody asked about NG+ and as such it was not mentioned.

BioWare is not volunteering any information about the story beyond what they've shown either, which naturally includes the endings.

The only confirmed party members are Cass, Varric and Vivienne. Iron Bull is now officially named but the nature of his participation in the story is not confirmed.

I have one more question: Did they go into more detail about the option that gave more in-depth information on dialogue options? Is it only highlighting the effects of decisions or is it also used in regular dialogue? If so, does it show everything you will say, or is it just a longer paraphrase closer to the exact wording?

I am not entirely sure about this myself.  The impression I got is:  The preview appears before a choice that will lead to a direct action or permanent branching decision, and it is a summary of the consequences of that selection.  Again, that's my impression so don't take it as the gospel.

I never said they are companions, I only gave them a name :ph34r:

Did you see very much on the statistics showed on the proto-inventory screen? It seemed barebones from what I saw.

Also, did you get anything on how the PC version will play?

Also: Cheers buddy! Welcome back. Place hasn't been the same w/o you.

The stats in the proto-inventory were clearly marked as MAJOR STATS (or somesuch) and I gathered they were meant to be more of a quick reference than a substantial list.

The PC version and console versions (current and next gen) are intended to share the same gameplay.  This includes the tactical camera being available on all platforms, for example.

I'm pretty sure that David Gaider on either his tumblr or twitter mentioned that some of those concept arts are older, and that they may not reflect the current state of things. I believe he said this on the same day Matt Rhodes released some of his DAI concept art on tumblr.

There was brief general discussion of games technology including advances like voice commands but not as they pertain to DA:I.

You sure?
Because one of those is titled "Iron Bull" and the Qunari on it looks very similar to the one shown in the E3 trailer:

I'm not following your logic. Just because one initial concept art character is still in the game doesn't invalidate Gaider's point and mean that other initial concept art characters are still in the game...
