I'm probably one of many players coming over from the Mass Effect games to these games hoping to join a great fanbase and experience just as amazing a game while waiting for the next Mass Effect. On that note, has there been any discussion of just how many choices The Keep will have for us new players? I will say that I did try out Dragon Origins and then Dragon Age 2 on PS3 but I was left in a weird place. I couldn't get into the MMO-like click-based gameplay of the first, but, I also felt the second game's transition to a third-person hack n' slash felt very bare. Mostly, I wonder how the variety of choices will fare when it comes to minor choices as I'm confident that most if not all of the major story choices of the last two (three? Is Awakening included?) games will be represented. With this game, they seemed to have combined the two into something that I'm truly intrigued by and so I will be jumping in for the first with Inquisition. I look forward to sharing my thoughts with all of you and hope I become as attached to Dragon Age as I am to Mass Effect universe of chacters.

Keep will provide players every choice that will affect the world of DAI.

 

Only choices that will not be included will be choices in DAO and DA2 that does not affect the world of DAI.

 

For example, DAO has a lot of side quests but not all the Side-quests will affect the world in DAI.

I want to tell you, but I fear I would be breaking NDA by doing that.

For a number I think it's been said to be around a hundred by now, and more are still getting added

 

Since the Keep is for all future games they're trying to add every choice that may have any impact in the future, even past DAI.

they said there will be over 300 choices in the keep, thats about the most we got on number of actual choices.

No worries. I'm under NDA too, but I haven't got access yet. I was just wondering if they'd initially announced anything.

I'm not breaking the NDA by saying that save games are not imported just achievements, so you will get exactly the same choices as those who have played the games. We'll just have to answer less questions.

There are two different questions here:

 

how many choices The Keep will have for us new players?

 

It doesn't break the NDA to tell you that all choices available in the Keep will be available to new and old players alike. That is, you won't be gated or filtered out from making certain choices by a check on which games you own, or which DLCs you bought, etc. All choices are available to everyone.

 

I wonder how the variety of choices will fare when it comes to minor choices as I'm confident that most if not all of the major story choices of the last two (three? Is Awakening included?) games will be represented.

 

There are a lot of minor choices represented in the Keep, some minor to point of irrelevance. Two that were shown publically so we can mention here, in example, are whether you fed a prisoner you find in a cage (which makes no difference because this prisoner is presumed to die later in the game anyway), or whether you help cure someone's animal or not (which makes no difference because, it's just an animal, it matters to literally nothing else in the game).

 

That is to say, there is a whole lot of very very minor quests and choices represented in the Keep (as shown in the dev streams) - but obviously not all of them will have any impact in Inquisition. The Keep at this point is more than just a savegame generator; it's going to be a hub for you Dragon Age accomplishments, a gallery of your playthroughs and the decisions that shaped your heroes' journeys. That's why there are so many small choices, they're there more to outline the world you've been shaping. Just keep that in mind when you get access to the Keep and see so many small choices that you may get a little overwhelmed - there will of course be some Conrad Werner choice there that you make in game one and turns out to come back for a very nice resolution in game three, but not every little choice you make in the Keep will necessarily have a direct effect later on. The Keep is very comprehensive, but not everything in it is a promise of things to come.

Thank you very much. All of you. These are much better answers than I thought I'd get. Especially since a save generator is all I thought it was in the first place. It sounds very exciting. I can't wait to get access. I just signed my NDA last night so I probably still have quite a wait.
