Wondering what happens at Skyhold's war table? http://bit.ly/1qFAwY5  #DAI pic.twitter.com/48IJfxfcKF

 

 

Two weeks ago, Dragon Age fans were introduced to Skyhold—the Inquisition's base of operations—through an article from our friends at Game Informer. Following the article, we caught up with Dragon Age: Inquisition producer Cameron Lee to ask a few follow-up questions.

In part 2 of this interview series, Cameron discusses the war table, the role of your advisors, and more!

 

[DRAGON AGE]: All three of the Inquisition's advisors have been introduced, but can you tell us more about their role in the Inquisition?

[CAMERON LEE]: Leliana, Cullen, and Josephine are your primary advisors in the Inquisition. They represent the three pillars of power: espionage, military, and politics. Each of them leads a contingent of agents they send out on operations that help you in your search for and battle against the Elder One.

 

 

[DA]: So, each advisor has a specific area of expertise?

[CL]: Exactly. Leliana is the leader of your agents who uncover secrets, assassinate enemies, and sabotage your enemy's organization. Cullen leads your military, so he's focused on building your army and training and equipping your forces so you can use them as a hammer against the Elder One. Josephine uses political power and diplomacy to advance your Inquisition's cause. Each of the advisors will want to approach challenges in different ways, but it's your choice about which action to take.

 

 

[DA]: What types of tasks can you carry out from the war table?

[CL]: There are over 300 missions and operations available on the war table, and they can change depending on your previous choices and actions in the game. There's a range of types: scouting missions to establish the first camp in a new area you'd like to explore, building missions to raise structures in the areas you've being exploring, recruitment missions to bring expertise into the inquisition, treaties, resource-gathering, political assassinations, and many, many more.

 

 

[DA]: How will players gain influence and power for the Inquisition?

[CL]: You earn influence and power as you explore, overcome enemies, bring stability to regions, complete quests, and close rifts between the world and the Fade. You spend that influence and power at the war table when you send your agents on an operation or begin a new major story plot.

 

[DA]: What do you get from completing operations through the war table?

[CL]: Operations will give you different rewards such as gold, rare crafting materials, weapons and equipment, new recruits, and even the ability to rebuild structures you've seen on your adventures.

 

[DA]: Will the advisors have different opinions on the best way to complete an operation?

[CL]: Each of your advisors will want to approach an operation in a different way, which will help determine the outcome and rewards for completing the operation and can potentially affect any follow-up operations.

 

[DA]: Okay. Are you ready to talk about judgments now?

[CL]: Let's do it!

 

Join us later this week for part 3 of our Skyhold interview with producer Cameron Lee, who will talk to us about judgments in Dragon Age: Inquisition!

Interesting.

 

Now this is what makes Skyhold interesting to me.

 

--OT-- I am really liking the inquisitor's outfit in that last shot (assuming it's the inquisitor).  Wonder if that means there will be different outfits in Skyhold rather than wearing armor all the time (I know if DA2 - Hawke wore his/her .. dinner robe, I guess?)

[jaethos]

Sounds great. I love building up my base and forces and having them do things for me in games.

[Vaseldwa]

300 missions!    Need to know about the Judgments!!!! Cant wait!!!!! .....This game is gonna bring out the hoarder in me! Must...Collect.....everything! 

[Jorina Leto]

Requires Time? What?

[Dubozz]

something something warlords of draenor

[thats1evildude]

So the war table ISN'T for having rough sex on with your advisors?

[Kantr]

Requires Time? What?

See the Pc Gamer article and numerous posts about it (real time)

 

Is the inquisitor in that picture an elf? It's hard to tell

[Reznore57]

Requires Time? What?

 

As far as I know some mission are timed , you have to send your agents do whatever and it will take them X amount of time before they come back to Skyhold.

I guess during that time you can't send other agents on other mission.

So for a completionist run we're expected to leave our PCs and occupy our time with something else, instead of playing? LOL!

[The Elder King]

Good interview. I can't wait for the next one, I'm very interested in seeing how the judgements work.

[The Elder King]

You can still playing and do other quests.

Even in higher res it's hard to tell for sure...

 

[Jester]

Goddamn, Leliana really looks so great on that screenshot...

 

Ekhm...

It sounds really, really cool. I can only hope that they'll nail the execution and doing all those 300(!!) missions will have some real outcome/consequences, so it won't be done Assassin's Creed Brothehood style, where all it did was give you some gold.

[Itkovian]

See, I don't understand why people assume this is the case. Isn't the fact that it sounds so ridiculous that it warrants a "LOL" enough to realize that it obviously doesn't work that way?

 

Of course you can keep playing, and you can send different agents to other missions, and obviously the game is structured so you're never in a situation where you must stop playing and let the clock run in order to progress.

[Reznore57]

I think it's the Inquisitor they used in the demo at Gamescom , the screenshot is from that demo , so human female warrior.

[SerCambria358]

Nice im really hoping that we'll see multiple groups/races walking around in our inquisition depending on who we recruit. It would be cool to see a squad of Vashoth you recruited during a mission, walking around the Skyhold or even around Thedas

I'm sure that's the case. I mentioned AC: Brotherhood before. Quests were there timed from several to about 20 minutes real-time. 

I think that some people think that it will be like in mobile/facebook games, where you have to wait 8 hours for the quest to complete. 

I;m also sure, that the game will only count the time when you're actually playing. So leaving your computer for the quest to finish would do nothing.

[HaHa365]

Love all this info! The amount of choice and missions, is nice to know that it will be lasting.

[Al Foley]

*some random BioWare developer* Damn it!  I knew we were forgetting something!

[FiveThreeTen]

 

I hadn't noticed before but it seems like the Inquisition grabbed a collector edition (beside Josephine). Now that would be an interesting mise en abîme.

[Beerfish]

Map pin alert!  "A colony of Nugs has taken over a small empty camp you use to occupy."

 

Leliana:  We should infiltrate the Nugs and spy on their conversations, perhaps they have learned things of our enemies, I can send Schmooples in as our agent.

Josephine:  We should negotiate with the Nugs, offer then some food an relocate them to another area, they could be good allies in time.

Cullen:  I'll send in a few knights and we will whack them all, we can then top up the roasted nug larder.

[CrabbyCrackers]

i have to wait to hear about judgements ?!
