I've been keeping an eye on things to see whats been going on with the Deluxe and Inquisitor editions in the UK, since atm there is no retail version on the Deluxe or Imperial for the PC in the UK. While I was checking that I found that while last week it was possible to get the preorder bonus from Game.co.uk with the armour, weapon pack and mount, however that has changed this week. Now Game (who have the exclusive on the Deluxe edition) only offers the preorder mount, Amazon have the weapon pack, Shopto have the armour pack, and Gamestop (who have the Inquisitor edition) has no preorder bonus. Not only that, when I checked Game further I noticed that the preorder bonus is only on the standard edition, the fine print even specifies the offer as only being for the standard edition. The only place I could fine all three preorder bonuses together in the UK was on EA's own Origin store (which is also the only place that you can get the PC version of the Deluxe edition).

 

So in the UK you can have a Deluxe edition, and Inquisitor's edition, or one of three preorder bonuses, but none of them together unless you buy the PC edition from EA's own store (at a higher price than the retail copies).

I can't answer all your questions, but hopefully I can clear up a few things. There are 3 editions for Dragon Age: Inquisition: Standard, Deluxe, and Inquisitor's. There are digital versions of the Standard and Deluxe editions on all platforms, except for Xbox 360, which is physical only. The Inquisitor's edition is a packaged goods offering only and, for the most part, includes the Deluxe edition box inside (more details on this nuance will be coming Very Soon Now).

 

There are 3 different pre-order items we are offering: Flames of the Inquisition Arsenal, Appearance, and Mount. The Arsenal item is available to every retailer on all platforms. They just have to decide to participate in this pre-order offering. Occasionally, a retailer will chose not to participate in this program, but that is their decision. These pre-order offering are only available if you pre-order and once the game is released, this offering ends. With me so far, I hope?

 

The reason that there is no pre-order offering for the Deluxe edition (and therefore the Inquisitor's edition) is because the Deluxe edition already includes the 3 pre-order items as part of it, for all time, on all platforms. Pre-ordering the Deluxe or picking it up after the game is released gets you the same three Arsenal, Appearance, and Mount offerings.

Do you mean Arsenal, Armour and Mount?  Because the weapons and the arsenal seem like they're the same thing

Whoops, yeah, bad copy and paste from another document. It is Arsenal, Appearance, and Mount. Fixed it above.

But...I still don't understand why we can't get the Deluxe edition on PC from anywhere.

 

Basically you're saying that in the UK, retailers have decided that instead of offering the normal Deluxe edition, they have made their own 'editions', by having each retailer have a different part of the deluxe bonuses and spreading them out instead of offering them all at once?

 

Doesn't that also mean that by them doing that, the UK will be unable to get the Deluxe edition even after the pre-order period ends?

I am not saying anything of the kind. I have actually just not answered the question yet. EA is a very large organization and there are a lot of different folks in different time zones and it simply takes a while to co-ordinate everything. I was hoping we would have a public answer to these questions early this week, but it was not to be. Last time I asked I was told the public answer was coming Very Soon Now™.

One more thing: is there any digital/bonus content included in the Inquisitor's edition that is not in the Deluxe Edition?

There is no additional digital content in the Inquisitor's Edition compared to the Deluxe Edition.
