do the DLC do anything or are they simply aestetic?
I think they're mostly aesthetic. The pre-order bonus (Flames of the Inquisition) gives you some unique weapon schematics, but the mounts and throne seem to be aesthetic. As far as we can tell all the mounts function the same, so it's just an aesthetic thing. And (mounts spoilers from Skyhold video):
Did some checking around and I have found ZERO information as to what the bonus content is with the DAI collector's guide.
I am perplexed as to why the Inquisitor Edition set lists the bonus content but this does not. Considering launch day is coming up, I would have thought it be listed by now.
Any developer want to weigh in here please.

For me, that depends on how much you like soundtracks more than anything else, really.
I usually just buy the soundtracks off ITunes and then copy onto disk or into Ipod to listen too, not really getting anything free with the higher prices.
Seems like you will be able to buy the Deluxe items for PC separately from Gamestop. I put down a preorder for it today and it's gonna cost 99SEK, so I guess it's about €10, and is supposed to be available at the DA:I launch.
IF anyone was wondering...
I was not 100% sure as to how Gamestop handled shipping and game releases since normally I order through Amazon. A game I pre-ordered was shipped today with the release date being tomorrow (11/11/2014). Since I paid for one day shipping it will be here on release date.
So anyone here who pre-order DAI from Gamestop, they will ship it out the day BEFORE the release date and if you paid for one day shipping it will arrive at your home on the release date.
Cheers! 
I just called Gamestop to verify my order and that there will be no problems with them shipping it out, and am I glad I did. They had my order all set, but the agent I spoke with said that there was a problem anyway. Back when I placed the order, I knew that my credit card was going to be expiring between that date and now, so I couldn't very well place an order on it that wouldn't be paid for until after the card had expired and I couldn't very well wait until September to place the order or I'd never have a shot at the Inquisitor's Edition, so I selected PayPal as my payment method. And of course that would have been a problem now if I hadn't called today. I would have still received the game, probably, but not until at least a week or possibly longer after the 18th, depending on how long it took for processing to take place, before and after the 3 day wait for confirmation of funds. Since I called today, the agent was able to change my payment method to my credit card instead, and I will now have it delivered on the 18th, as scheduled. By the way, anyone who ordered the game to be physically shipped to them, the only way you will receive it on the 18th is if you paid extra for overnight delivery because they are not shipping them out until the 17th.
So, for anyone else out there who selected PayPal for their method of payment, you have two options. You can either call to switch it to a credit card or you can go to a GameStop locally, buy a gift card for an amount greater than the price of whichever edition of the game you ordered and then call them to transfer payment to that gift card. Otherwise, they can't guarantee a delivery date.

Cool, thanks for the info! I signed for overnight delivery, so I was curious how that would work. They haven't taken my cash yet for the IEdition--Some people say that have, so of course I've been refreshing my order 8974945 today to make sure it's okay. This is reassuring 
I've never ordered from gamestop before so I'm running blind.
OK...me being Mrs. Paranoid and Confused (especially with all the crap going on with the DAIE). I went to GameStop and contacted an agent.
There is nothing wrong with my order, I AM getting a copy of DAEI AND there is no issue with my payment. Woot!
As for the "confused part." the Gamestop agent informed me that, One Day Shipping and Over Night Shipping ARE the same. So if you paid for One Day Shipping, (again as I said earlier) you WILL get the game on the 18th.
I do suggest anyone who has pre-ordered from Gamestop to take a few minutes out of your time and contact them to ensure there are no issues with your order. Better to be safe then sorry.
Cheers!
I contacted them as well. I am also getting the Inquisitors Edition, no issues with the order, it will be delivered on the 18th. I was told by the guy on the phone that I should call back again around the 15th to double check that everything is OK as that is when they expect to start processing orders for shipment on Monday.
With that said, I will probably do that.
I just looked at amazon for the inquisitors edition guide book and it's telling me it won't be out until the 25th, I'm wondering why it's coming out so late after the game? All the other guide books, the regular edition and the normal collectors edition are coming out on the 18th, but the inquisitors edition guide is the 25th.
That's really weird. I was sort of hoping to have it around release day. Bummer.
Try, "Books a million."I just looked at amazon for the inquisitors edition guide book and it's telling me it won't be out until the 25th, I'm wondering why it's coming out so late after the game?

I just bought the regular collectors edition guide and will return it when the inquisitors edition guide comes, or myabe I'll keep the inquisitors guide sealed and add it to my collection.
Man I'm really panicking that I won't get this on day one as I'm in the UK and Gamestop do not really have a presence here. I ordered from the UK site (cant remember the delivery option but I would have picked the best one available). I wish it hadn't been Gamestop exclusive because I would feel way more comfortable ordering it from Amazon or GAME as they are companies who have a lot of presence in the UK.
I'm just worrying endlessly, but whatever 
Try, "Books a million."
I got the uber guide book edition and on Books a Million, they said it would be released on the 18th. Maybe Amazon is back ordered?
That is a fair assessment, except that on the offical Gamstop website for the exact same item, it now also lists the release date for the Inquisitors Collector Edition guide as 10/25. In addition, strange at it is, there is at least 1 new copy of the guide available on amazon for sale (yet, oddly there are still no more copies available to purchase on the Gamestop website), so the back order issue would seem unlikely.
I admit I was / am slightly disappointed that just within the last day or so this date change took place, thereby making this edition of the guide a week past the release of all other copies available.
Glad I read this. I preordered and prepaid at the store. After reading I called to check on delivery date and was told 5 to 7 days after release and if I want delivery on release day I need to go back to store I ordered from and pay for next day delivery and have store call them to confirm it.
If I purchase the physical copy of the game, whether this or the standard edition, will I be able to download the game through origin instead of downloading it? My disk drive isn't connected to my mobo and I don't feel like buying a new cable for it...
Sorry if this isn't the right thread, I havn't used these forums in a while and I'm just hoping for a quick answer. Didn't want to create an entire thread.
Yes. Once you receive your physical copy, put the disk in the drive and follow the prompts. It will at some point prompt you to enter the key which will allow you to install off of the disk. If you just enter your key into Origin it will default to just downloading it.
Hope this helps.
Welp they did the pre-authorization withdrawal from my card today (I was an online only orderer from Gamestop for the Inquisitors Edition). Guess everything is going well and it's all happening! Hopefully that overnight shipping is pro, I'm going to be hard to live with on the 18th until it gets here, haha. Good luck everyone
Okay, well when I ordered the DA:I IE I added on Tales of Hearts R in order to get free Express Shipping (split shipment). I just got a notification that Tales of Hearts R has been dispatched okay: since they were on the same order, I will assume that DA:I will go through next week (seems they took the payment on Monday). Fingers crossed, it might even arrive on Thursday!
