Just so you know, almost everyone here is well aware of all the information that you know ,and more. You don't need to repeat all that here, like you usually do in GameFaqs forums, no offence.

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.


To be fair, that CEO no longer works at EA. So...

I simply do not buy games that require you to be online all the time to play the game. There simply is no need to monitor my gaming though the net, plus not all people have internet even they have computers to play with.

I watched video interview awhile back on and and I think they had mentioned that they planned for it to only be a one time internet connection. 

 

I also don't think they'd set it up so that some people can import saves and other people have to use The Keep. Cos part of the reason they're doing the keep is cos they know there are some save import flags from DA:O and DA2 that are broken, and they want to fix them - so anyone who used a direct import risks getting a sub-optimal experience. But there would probably be a lot of programming issues throughout the game that would happen if you could import from either the keep or save files.

 

And finally, it would be considered unfair if say, PC gamers could import their saves but console players couldn't. And if console players could only import saves if they stayed on the same console, they would be angry that they have to sacrifice graphics quality for the save games, but more also, Sony and Microsoft would probably not be happy with that because they want to encourage people to buy the next gen systems.

 

But you can't really blame the next gen systems unless you really wanted every single Dragon Age game ever to only come out for xbox 360 and ps3. And since they've said they planned Dragon Age as a series that could continue on for like, 16 games, that would really suck.

Why is this guy randomly spouting off information about the game, I thought he was asking questions about The Keep.

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.


That is not supported.
 

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.


No.

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.


Yes, a dial-up modem can handle it. Yes, it is free. Yes, it supports PS3.

 

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.


What you learned is bunk.

Thanks Maria, sorry I get carried away I just love Dragon Age, I follow, research & compile anything that is NEWSWORTHY, some is True some is Fake,  I Guess the news on MP is False.

 

Another rumor I hear is Inquisition being Delayed till 2015 but you have to keep in the fact that Inquisition Has yet to be listed on Any Major Retailers & also Nothing from Gamestop & also Gamestop doesn't even have the game listed as a Place Holder.

 

My Friends have told me this Is cause they will not update Inquisition until after E3 where we should get a Final Solid Release Date.

 

Sorry about me Rambling on other things, I am just super excited on Inquisition. Which is why I am so passionate on the game.

This is my most anticipated game in 2014,

 

 

So with Dragons Keep let me break it down so I got the facts Straight feel free to correct if I am wrong

 

Works on Dial Up

 

Can Load Up to my PS3

 

Do not need to play Physical Copies of my Origins & 2 anymore

 

Can make Choices & Key Critical moments such as Morrigan's Ritual to who Romanced Hawke

 

Saves have more Impact something about them being Bugs made them Usless on Consoles hence why Importing Origins into Dragon age 2 was a complete mess.

 

See in my DA Anders would have been Dead, Nathaniel Howe would have died so would Zervan therefore they shouldn't have been in Dragon Age 2 so thanks to Bugs they showed up anyways.

 

The Keep Fixes these Issues

 

Can I use a USB File to Transfer my Keep Choices into my PS3 Inquisition. Like I would use the Keep on my PS3 then Transfer my Keep PC into my PS3 Physical Disk of Inquisition.

 

That is where I am still confused on HOW DOES THE KEEP WORK.

The keep is a web service.Communication goes from earlier save transferred to keep, keep----> current save. The question of if you are able to use your usb is determined by one underlying factor. The implementation of the save file. If the client is able to read through your secondary storage for a save file and then use that save file then by all means. However, that is less than likely. It will look like the keep client will just send a request to the web service containing your profile details and then receive the data like that. Difference between reading from the web and reading from the file.

 

Which brings about another question, does the keep act as a converter between different formats. If the new dragon age is using  a variation of an xml format, rather than xml itself is the keep acting as a converter between the old save format and the new one. This would surely complicate the idea of usb imports.

This is all correct.

This is speculative.

It’s a website.

You log in with your Origin account and create a world state. This creates an online saved game. Your console or PC can connect to the saved game cloud and download that save. You only need to do this once. When you play DA:I, it will reference this information.

DA2 saves are 600K or so. That's under 3 minutes on a 56K modem IIRC. Not something you want to do every time you run the game, but to do it once doesn't seem all that bad. I downloaded The Stone Prisoner on 56K a few years back.

If the game just needs a file with the plot flags, you could strip out a lot of the fat from a DA2 save too.

Personally I think that if at all possible to cover bases then some form of the Keep will be bundled on the disk akin to the comics for Mass Effect that allowed you to make key decisions. 

 

Not a perfect replication but better than nothing.

 

As it stands I look forward to the Keep just so I can find out various options, I have so many saves with so many characters I really can't remember most the story at the moment.

The Keep is probably the best way to solve the import issues. The birth of a new console generation was bound to cause problems, anyway. It will be interesting to see all the possible options one can pick for different things too. Which choices that were "important" and such in the previous games.

I don’t see any problem using a 56k modem as the file will probably be an encrypted text file so should only take a few minutes to download so i would not worry if was you.

Not to mention that the Awakening DLC from Origins completely messed up your save if you used it as your import to DA2. So, yeah... they really needed a fix for all that before they went into a third game with even more buggered plot flags.

My biggest question is if I am using 56K Dial Up on Dragon's Keep being on my Laptop how would I transfer the Keep Choices if I am playing my Inquisition on my Playstation 3.

 

Rightnow I am using a Compaq Persario Laptop using Windows 7 but I am going to be playing Inqusition on my PS3 since I got rid of my Xbox 360.

 

So how would this work.

As I said before, we don't know yet. They haven't released any information regarding how it's going to be handled, so I suggest you wait.

From what little we know now, the plan is to get on your laptop, set up your choices through the Keel website. Then, when you buy DA:I for your PS3, you would hook your PS3 up to your 56K modem. When you fire up the game for the first time, the game will use your 56K modem to pull your data file, letting you use those choices to create your game.

There is talks about having a way to transfer your data to a portable format, like a USB thumb drive, but as of this fall when the Keep was announced, this was not a guarantee, only something they were looking at.

What would be perhaps most helpful for you is to go to the thread about the Keep under the Scuttlebutt section and hit the "Bioware responses only" option, which will show only the posts in that thread that are from Bioware employees. It will cover all of this information in less posts than are already in this thread.

Thanks Bioware needs to clearly explain the Keep in a FAQ section explaining the Keep in Step By Step details such as How, & How to Transfer from a Laptop or Desktop where in my situation I am using my Laptop to my PS3 when I get Inquisition this fall.

 

I am just worried on Inquisition will not be like previous Dragon Age games, the more I hear of this game it is more like a Resource or RTS type of game more than it is like a Open World RPG like Bioware makes.

 

I know this game is about the Burden of Power & Leadership to Progress futher into the Lands you must have a Certain Amount of Strength to me this screams of Mass Effect 3s Galaxy at War being a Certain Scrore would unlock Shepard Survival Ending.

 

Regardless I am getting Inquistion, My games I will get are Drakengard in May then Tales of Xillia 2 followed by Shadows of Mordor then lead up to Inquisition this FALL Holidays.

 

Just worried on these Issues is all I am concerned on.

They must be aware that a fair number of people in North America - let alone the rest of the world - have no high-speed internet connection. But it might not be that traumatic. I could imagine a streamlined web page where people could input their choices and receive a small "worldstate.xml" file that contained the decisions of past games. A list of variables and their values would be very small indeed.

 

You are posting on an electronic forum, so you must have some internet connectivity, even if it's dial-up. A 500KB could contain a lot of variables, but it would still take less than 10 seconds to download.

Exactly, The only real processing will be at Worldstate generation and Worldstate parsing.

Like I said before I have good speed considering I am on 56k Dial Up, Being in a Remote Location the only option I have is Satellite Internet being like Hughesnet, Excede, Wild Blue but I hear those have Restrictions & Limitations on them. Being Download Allowance to other details to me it isn't worth it. So I stick with Dial Up 10x Cheaper + I don't have to buy the Equipment.

 

Maybe sometime in the near future something will make its way here so I can get WiFi or DSL but for now I will just use what I have & play Inquisition to the best of my abilities.

 

I cant wait to play Inquisition, I hear they increased the AI which I always thought previous 2 games were easy even on Insanity then again I been playing games since 1983 so a lot of games are easy to me.

 

I am going to have so much fun with Inquisition any news if Bioware will release a DEMO.

Also you can not hook up your PS3 to a 56K Dial Up Laptop since the PS3 Console is WiFi, DSL or Wireless which wouldn't work. so the only viable option is USB Flash Drive from the Dragon's Keep then hook into the PS3 via USB Flash Drive would be a Much easier process & less complicated.

 

But I whish that it didn't have to be this way, I prefer the simple Method of Previous Importing such as how My PS2 Armored Core games did or my Dot.Hacks did or my Xenosaga Trilogy did being a Simple Direct Import Method.

 

This sounds Complicated with the Keep, I could always take both my PS3 Console & My Laptop over to my Relatives home & somehow use a USB Hook In to somehow Connect my PS3 Console into my Laptop.

 

Then somehow would Transfer my Keep from Laptop into my PS3 Inquisition.

 

But another method would be make the Keep APP directly onto the PS3 Itself via Download the Keep APP from the PSN Store.

 

Other Ideas lets hope Bioware will make it a simple & easy access process. The Keep Releases a Month before Inquisition.
