See not everyone in the US has Online Connections being Mountinous areas, Rural Areas, that are cut-off from Town or a WiFi Point so we have to rely on 56K Dial Up.

 

I am hoping I will be able to import Inquisition like I did my Origins Ultimate PS3 Save Files into my Dragon Age 2 PS3 Files being a DIRECT IMPORT Method.

 

Since I do not know how the Keep APP will work on Inquisition, & also probably will not have ONLINE ACCESS FOR IT since the Keep is Cloud Based which is DSL or WiFI meaning you probably will not be able to use the Dragon's Keep on 56K Dial Up.

 

Making our Previous Saves Null & Void also Useless this will also make a lot of people angry or upset that they would be forced to play Inquisition on DEFAULT-BAREBONE or Pre-Selected Choices instead of DIRECT IMPORT like previous Bioware games did.

 

Inquisition would be the 1st Bioware game that DOSENT DO A DIRECT IMPORT being my PS3 Files onto my PS3 Inquisition without the need of using DRAGON'S KEEP.

 

I have no idea what the Keep is, I was hoping I could just do NORMAL IMPORT since I am using my PS3 not NEXT GEN. See I put in Tons of Hours on my 2 Games I would hate to loose all of that hard work it would suck SO MUCH !!!!

 

But I have a feeling most of us will be playing Inquisition BAREBONE-DEFAULT cause of DRAGONS KEEP.

 

I need Details on The Dragon's Keep I have no IDEA how this will work, How would I load up my PS3 Files to the Keep, ETC, such as How Much the Keep WILL COST. or other details Bioware hasn't said much regarding DK.

 

I do know Inquisition has 40 Endings & 5 Regions, 2 Characters haven't been named from the 9 Followers which should be Brand New ones I bet one is  from ASUNDER the other from the New Novel.

 

Sera Rogue Elf Archer, Solas Fade Mage Expert, The Iron Bull Qunari Mercenary, Viviene  Enchanter Circle Mage, Cassandra, Varric

 

Also While Cassandra was seen in DA 2 this will mark her 1st Playable Appearance.

 

Sandal & Bohdan also Return so does Flemeth, Keep in mind Both Flemeth & Morrigan are in Inquisition.

 

The Wardens Have a Role so do the Elves & also Qunari also in some fashion

 

Denerim I don't think will be in Inquisition Been Following Inquisition since FEB 2012

 

My Most Anticipated game in 2014

The Keep's details have yet to surface. It could be that  you have to connect to your Origin account where you bought the game on to access the Keep and download the file, or you will have to directly connect your console to the internet and access keep,which will then automatically port the world state to the game. We just don't know how it's going to be.

 

Hopefully, it will be the first case, where you can just access keep from any device with internet access and download a save file that can be used with your console, generated using the Keep..

The most they said is that it will be a website. Implied the connection to your Origin account.

 

Since the consoles all have USB drives, maybe they will make something that will allow you to import a Keep save data from a USB stick?

So, I will not be able to use Direct Import being like Previous gamed did. Meaning my previous save Files are Null & VOID, Useless. & I know longer need to keep or play my Origins Ultimate & my Dragon Age 2 PS3 Games.

 

Also I no longer need to keep my PS3 Save files since we can not do a DIRECT IMPORT like previous games do. So I ask this. What was the point of playing the previous games if Inquisition was going to be handled like this.

 

So, All my Hardwork, my Countless Hours perfecting my Perfect Hawke, Warden ARE NOW USELESS into Inquisition.

 

Based on my Info, this is thanks to FROSTBITE 3 & NEXT GEN

You asked what the Keep was going to be. There hasn't be any info about whether or not a direct import function will be available.

You know what the Keep is right? It basically allows you to recreate your DA:O and DA 2 world states. It'll be asking you questions on what you did in your previous games and you answer(like who did you place on the throne etc). The save file will then be created to be ported over to your game(at least that's how I think it will be handled).

 

It's the same as having your saves, except this time there won't be any bugged flags in the save. Just wait for more information before you make up your mind about it. But whether you can access the Keep or not, you won't need your old save files anymore.

Sorry, I am just really worried, You have no idea, how many hours I spend Customizing these characters. I been playing videogames since 1983. One thing I have become really good at is Customization. I have had people begging for my Customized Characters from my Hawke to my Warden, to my Male or Female Shepards.

 

Any game with a CAC System I love, from Skyrim to Dragon's Dogma. I cant wait to see what I can do with Inquisition, Being Different Races will add in Countless Possible CACs.

 

Lets Hope Bioware will add in New Hair Style being Medium or Long Length. I really don't care about my CACs Bust or other details I focus  On Facial Details to Hair Coloring. Everything Has to be Right Before I begin my Story Mode in a Bioware game the same will be done in Inquisition.

 

Also Does these Backgrounds Work like in Origins being Based on your Race say a Dalish ELF you will begin the game from a Different POV the game's Prologue If you would. I assume The Inquisitor Dosent become the Inquisitor at the beginning of Inquisition but rather Through some Event or Part of the Story Line. Being The Survivor of an Attack You become The Final Inquisitor.

 

From what I gather the Inquisition dosent answer to no one & they are not Controlled by other countries. Sort of like the Instellar Alliance in Babylon 5 or maybe The Rangers or something along those Lines.

Final Question, If The Original Warden & Hawke from DA 2 is going to be in Inquisition then How will these be Our Characters we made, if these are Imported into The Keep.

 

Based on my Info, If you Play Inquisition Barebone-Default then the Warden's Origin will be a ELF while Hawke will be a Mage who sided with the Mages but it isn't known what Gender Default Hawke will be male or female.

The backgrounds are not playable like in Origins, you just pick one through the dialogue at the beginning of the game. As I said, the Keep will have most of the choices you make in DA:O and DA 2. 

 

If you don't use the Keep, the game will probably come with it's own default Wardens and Hawkes from both the games to choose from, like how DA 2 had.

Based on my Info DEFAULT Inquisition Will have a Selection of PRE-HISTORY Options, If you remember DA 2 they had the Elf who made the Sacrifice, then Evil Drawf also so Inquisition will have Similar Choices.

 

Also DEFAULT Warden will be ELF while Hawke is going to be MAGE who sided with the Mages. I been following the game since FEB 2012 only issues I am confused on are IMPORT & DRAGON'S KEEP.

 

I know everything on Inquisition. Such as the Inquisitior being the only person able to close or Open the Fade Tears. But what isn't known is rather this done through Ritual or Blood Magic.

 

Also the Fade Expert Solas I think is an ELF he uses a Double-Bladed Weapon

I'm hoping you do not need an internet connection every time you turn on your game. The best way, would be to have a one time internet connection requirement. One time connection which caches all of your saves on your main system. This would remove the issue of having to connect everytime, given that it would be longer for those with multiple saves but it would be less annoying than the save anyway model.

 

One last issue is that I would not be worried about a 56k due to the size of these files. You are not transporting assets, you are not downloading a game, all you are doing is downloading a simple text file that contains data. On average these save files are really small. This is because all they do is contain text which is made up of characters.My save file is 401 kb right now including character information. If I had to download that file on a 56kb It would probably be a little over 46 seconds. Only thing you need to import from game to another game is data, assets will be included in the game data.

In response to the "what was the point of me playing these games if the Keep is either going to cause me to use a Default import (if you forgoe using it) or one I can set up" comment... the games do have value outside of the Save Import.

If you enjoyed playing them, then that should be the primary source of why you played them. The import system has always been a bit of a gimmick, giving small, barely-noticeable nods to previous game choices. You haven't been creating vastly different world states or settings with them, simply because they are never going to result in things more deep than a cameo or codex entry.

If things don't work out with you using the Keep, I guarantee you that within two months of DA:I being out, you can check on YouTube and see the two lines of dialogue difference between one choice versus the other.

I don't see why it wouldn't work on 56K. There isn't going to be a lot of data involved.

I'm still hoping for an offline version of the Keep.  I don't need one (I have no objection to the online version), but it should be possible for them to release an offline version people without adequate internet connectivity can use.

Also, your info here about the defaults is outdated.

There will be several history options to choose from if you don't use an import, not just one. Dragon Age II had three you could choose from, an elf, a dwarf, and a human. I am sure there will also be a Templar/Mage option for Hawke.

 

Also, dial up will not stop you from being able to access the internet for your saves. It will just be slower. You do it once and then fire up your game and viola! In Mass Effect 3, the single player only access your online history when you entered the War Room (hence the "scanning" hidden loading screen with the check point). There might be something similar in DA:I, but again, playing offline didn't affect anything other than your War Assets in ME3 and Bioware learned their lesson about requiring online functions for game completion.

My Dial Up Speed Is pretty Fast for 56k being better than Most I think mine is 52 something so my Dial Up should be able to handle Dragon's Keep.

 

I don't understand Why Bioware isn't making any announcements regarding the Dragon's Keep, Such as PRICE how much is the Keep or is the Keep FREE. to can I do the Keep on my PS3 Console since I am not getting me a PS4 until 2016-17 for PRICE DROP or Cyber Punk 2077.

 

Sorry I love Bioware, I am just worried on the State of my Saves, The Keep, but regardless of where rather or not I would be forced to Play Inquisition BAREBONE-DEFAULT the game will be AWESOME & FUN Regardless of how you are forced to play Inquisition.

 

This is my Most Anticipated game of 2014 which I am hoping Mass Effect will be ALL CONSOLES. Seen in Screen Shots, Was a Bioware Employee using a Xbox 360 while working on Mass Effect. Also said ME 4 could be possible on Current Consoles but not possible on the WII U.

 

Regardless I will get Inquisition on DAY 1 also understandable about NO Character DLCs,  me I think it should be STORY MISSION DLCs ONLY or XP DLC or MP DLC, ETC.

 

Regarding my Internet Situation I can always go to my Relatives Home to do DLC OR DK if DK WILL NOT BE 56K OR OFFLINE.

 

Can someone contact the Bioware Big Wigs on Twitter to ask them these questions.

Character creation carryover was doomed anyway with the engine change. There's no reason to believe it won't be in DAI, but carrying over designs from the previous engine would have been a nightmare even with direct imports.

 

The Backgrounds will be vaguely similar to the Origins, though they may not have an origin-specific prologue. People will go 'you are an elf!' if you are an elf, which is about what they did in DAO.

 

The Inquisition is going to be largely autonomous, but it will probably have alliances and patrons.

They aren't making announcements because they've already made announcements.

 

Keep should be free.

 

You didn't really ask any other questions.

Also I learned Inquisition has an MP Mode it is being described as Mass Effect 3s Galaxy at War MP Mode. Being instead of Space. you would be Fighting for Lands unknown if MP Mode would effect SP Mode such as ME 3 did based on your SCORE.

 

Another MP Mode is described as a Arena Based where you can even be a Dragon. Also regarding Inquisition. The Dragon's Are really protective of their Nest. They also are Vulnerable on their HEADS.

 

Unknown if Inquisition will sport different types of Dragon's being Elemental seen in Awakening, to Mature, High or Dragonlings being the Tiny Ones seen in previous games.

No, that is not true. Nothing has been announced regarding multiplayer and, as far as we know, they have no plans for it.

Everyone is expecting some sort of online component because the EA CEO is rather proud that he won't green light games that don't have one. So there will be something. Maybe the Keep is our online component?

 

That said, Bioware has said nothing about any online or MP component to DA:I so anything you might have heard is probably completely false.

Aye. It updates your War Assets as you walk through. In case you were using the iphone app to increase assets while you were playing the game itself.

I also found 7 of the 9 Followers but I have a good idea on who the last 2 Followers will be 1 will be from the novel Asunder, The other would be from the novel Magic Empreror or something like that I forget the name to the new Novel.

 

Solas Fade Expert Renegade Mage - Apostate

Sera Rogue Elf - Archer

The Iron Bull - Qunari Mercenary with a Dark Past

Unknown from Novel Asunder

Unknown from Magic Novel

Viviene - Enchanter Circle Mage also known as Madam De Fur I think

Cassandra - 1ST PLAYABLE APPEARANC  while in DA 2 she was seen in Inquisition she is PLAYABLE

Varric - Is Radically Different from his time with Hawke he & Cassandra have some sort of Relationship  NOT ROMANTIC

 

With Inquisition new is Armors Can RUST, Some areas in Inquisition are 3 Times Larger than the Koracri Wilds in Origins.

 

Weather Effects & 3 Types of Dialogue Wheels being Emotion, Reaction, & Dialogue

 

Inquisition is about POWER & THE BURDENS OF LEADERSHIP
