Good think you asked, I was unsure about the hour and wanted to see this really bad. I'm from Romania, so 7PM for me too.

I'll admit the first half of my post asked if I could romance Varric/more romance info but I know they can't answer that. Jokery romance questions aside, I then went on to ask two more serious questions:

Something like:
1. How well does our inquisitor convey emotion. Can we comfort companions, be saddened by loss, become angry. I made a suggestion if this would be done with the reaction wheel and a possible non spoiler example.

2. The timespan of inquisition form breach to end game. How the flow of time will effect factions, relationships and such. (Basically does time flow nicely and how long does the event take place)

What new DA:I features features would you say have been at the top of your Dragon Age "wishlists" for the longest? Why weren't you able to implement them before, and why can you in DA:I?

That one in particular is pretty good. Not just in the subject of choice, but in how it's open for an actual discussion.

Cheers thank you, I've liked a lot of your questions as well.

 

Also last minute Dagna question, because I couldn't find one that specifically asked how prominent she'd be within the game. I've been trying to avoid character questions, because those are the one's the devs will probably be unable to answer, but I wanted to show Dagna some more love in the thread. :P

It's 10am PDT, which I believe is 17:00 GMT.

I'm torn about the 'can we romance Varric?' campaign, because on the one hand it doesn't seem like they're going to answer the question so it's a waste of time asking. On the other hand: FOR THE LOVE OF THE MAKER, CAN WE ROMANCE VARRIC OR NOT?!

 

Frustrating to see so many questions that have perfectly good answers already; thanks to those who have gone in and answered them. Hopefully the mods will at least pick some stuff that we don't already know.

I'm trying to like all the sensible questions and answer the "old news" ones as well, but it really feels like a losing battle. I may have cried when I saw the "What engine will this game use?" one.

Yes, it's directly in the comments, the best way to see them "Quick" is by filtering by original poster. (Little checkbox under the main announcement post, but before the comments proper)

Just hit the "show comments by original poster" checkbox and it becomes much easier.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the primary youtubers (Gamermd83, AbilityDrain, Ashe) have a video about it in the near future as well.

"Can I romance Bettany now she's my sister no more?"

 

 

I didn't know Paul Bettany was playing a Trans character in the Dragon Age Series.

Can someone ask if Battlefield 4 would be a good benchmark to judge potential DA:I performance? For example if I can run BF4 on high/ultra settings I shouldn't have much of a problem running DA:I.

Yes, I would.  You could also probably copy and past from the Twitter thread for a lot of them to save you some time.

 

It'll probably be easier for the OP in the 'things we know' thread to get them from here, or if someone wants to post them there too that'd be awesome.

All the ones from Raptr that have been answered are here.

They follow Q&A format, and some have numbers due to the fact there were multipile questions  but they are correspond to their answer.

 

 

 

Q.Any chance that Bioware will show off the new Character Creator before release, to give fans a peek at who their Inquisitor can be?

A.There is a chance. We will see. We SHOULD do a video at least. - Mark

Q.I was just curious as to how many hours a day do you think is spent just going through all of the forums and other social media? And how do you guys react/handle "trolling" or negative feedback in these realms?

A.That's hard to say. We have people who have this as a job but the team bears a lot of the burden as well. - Mark

Q.Will followers have to run behind you across the landscape when you are on a mount or will they kind of just disappear until you get off your mount or do they get their own auto-mount when you get yours?

A.They Disappear was confirmed by Mark

Q.The first Dragon Age was a huge success, with expansive gameplay and a captivating story, it's one of my favorite games of all time. The second was not received as well and felt rushed, with repetitive dungeons. Although I did like some aspects of the combat gameplay. So my question is this: With the success of the first and the short comings of the second Dragon Age, what have you learnt and implemented into 'Dragon Age: Inquisition' to try to make it the best Dragon Age game to date?

A Ultimately this is the game I have always wanted: Big, with places to explore. Combat that rewards tactical play but is responsive Followers to get to know - Mark

Q.1) Can you tell us anything about the third, so far unnamed, adviser? 2) Can you elaborate on the conversation system-- I know it's supposed to have tone variance in addition to different choices, but not much more than that. Roughly how many options can we expect to see in an average conversation in our dialogue... box? Tree? Wheel? Cart? 3) Is Blackwall going to be romanceable... I know you're probably being pelted with romance-related questions, so this will probably go unanswered (also, can't keep us all happy, I know, I know)... I just love his design so much.

A.1) soon... 2) Different conversations have different numbers of choice points so this is wildly variable 3) Soon... - Mark

Q.1) Are we likely to ever again run into Jowan, the mage from Redcliffe and the Warden Mage Origins of DAO? 2) Do choices relating to the in-game Keeps you can conquer affect the world later on? For example, will I be locked of content with Leliana if I mostly create mercantile Keeps? 3) Does the Inquisitor's backstory vary greatly depending on race/class? Will a human mage have a similar backstory to a human rogue?

A.1) I don't remember. Maybe someone else will pick that one up 2) Keeps do affect gameplay 3) The reason you are where you are as well as opportunities in the store will be affected by Race/Class -Mark

Q.I think one of the most intriguing character of the entire DA setting is Flemeth. Are we going to know more about her, her daughters, her daughter's child (Old God Baby), and what are the links between her( or all of them) and the dragons? Even not explain entirely Flemeth's origin or purpouse, but a clue of those. And... what about Thedas' divinities? The Maker, the Ancestors, elven Gods... they all seem to exist. Maybe there is a way to explain all of them at the same time?

A.Spoilers Flemeth will appear. Spoilers - Mark

Q.Is Dragon age: Inquisition going to cover years within the game(like Dragon age 2) or is it more like months? Do Dalish elves still possess the Irish and Welsh accent, like they did in DA2? and if they do can your inquisitor have it? Also Can your Mage Inquisitor still be a Blood Mage?

A.We do use Welsh for some elves. Not the player elf, however Dragon Age: Inquisition is a more contiguous time period than DA2. - Mark

Q.If the Murder Knife returns and the Inquisition is really influential can I become Walter White and organise for the murder-knifings of 10 prisoners in a 2 minute window?

A.No - Mark

Q.Hi guys ! Can you tell me more about female hairstyles ? According to me, it's really important to create a beautiful character I'll be proud to play with. In previous iterations, the customization was not so great... I mean, I would like to see more long hair, feminine haircuts and gowns. Have you improved it in DAI ?

A.We are trying to get more hairstyles. There are a weird number of bald people on our art team... - Mark

Q.Will all areas be available from the start or will they unlock as we progress along the main quest?

A.Some areas will be unlocked once you have a rational reason to visit them - Mark

Q.How prominently, if at all, will Dagna be featured in the game?

A.Not a follower. She does appear - Mark

Q.How will the crafting mechanisms work? Will it be closer to origins crafting style or 2s?

A.It isn't really like either. It is deeper than either of those. A bit hard to explain here. We will have a deep dive at some point - Mark

(

 Side Notes I took that did NOT need a question to understand;

 

 

Cross Class combos make a come back

Darkspawn are about in the world

We will probably see Gideon Emery Again.

No Capes to be worn

No Griffons

No Qunari helmets. They have a different head slot )


Q.Will character creation options be more varied and unique from previous games? Ex// curly, wavy, or kinky hair. Different lip shapes (there has only been 1 lip option in previous games, yet mass effect had many options in all 3 games?) Or a wide variety of skin colors. This is kind of stretching it but will we also be able to choose our body type/shape in inquisition?

A.There are a lot of lip options now. We are working to get more hair options No body type choices, sorry - Mark

Q.So, some of us aren't the greatest at open world gaming. We get lost, people die, then we're stranded. Without any pants. With 80 sidequests we aren't sure what to do with and can't remember. What navigation devices can we expect? On screen minimap? Fable's golden trail leading us to our destination? The Elder Scrolls incredibly useless compass? Will there be plot markers we can apply to the map like Mass Effect 1?

 

A.minimap style thing You can put down custom plot markers You can mark any quest as the active quest Hopefully these things will help.


Q.Many of these comments are just questions that have been answered before by Bioware. I'd like to actually hear some new news, especially considering how close we are to the release date. 1. Returning characters from previous games, will we see many familiar faces? And if so, are they just small cameos like DA2 had? And are there any you'd like to mention? 2. How many story-based DLC's do you plan on doing? And is there any estimated amount of months after the release of the game that we'd need to wait for them? 3. And of course.. Romance options!! Many fans have been holding their breaths ever since it was confirmed that romances can be race/gender restricted. We want to know what our beautiful love interest's cup of tea is, *before* we start playing!

A1. There are returning faces. Some are cameos some are followers (Cassandra, Varric) 2. Plans aren't firm yet. Nothing at launch 3. More on romances later (or maybe today if someone goes crazy!)



Q. How much detail goes into the inquisitor's background? For example will it just be "You're dalish" or will it have a whole story with specifics? 2. Can you make a party work fairly easily with "unbalanced" teams (like 2 mages, 2 rogues, and no warrior? 3. Can you adjust the pitch of the inquisitor's voice from the four base voices?

 A.There is a background based upon your choices 2. You can try. Sometimes it will work, sometimes you may find you need agro control. 3. Not at the moment.

Can people not wikipedia page that or watch recent trailers??!! Good grief, it's been known the engine was Frostbite 3 for 2 years!
