I would not have started playing Dragon Age without a guide. I found the Origins one immensely valuable and then with the DAII guide I used it the first time but subsequently only referenced it occasionally. Of course I started playing in January 2014 so the wiki was up to date and help was plentiful.
With this game I like spoilers, but I am afraid at the same time. The first playthrough I will try it without a guide as long as I can. Maybe get the guide for Christmas or something.
.....Or you could just use the DA Wiki..... save yourself $20.00+ (not sure the price)
I will let my first two playthroughs be my decisions and mistakes w/o knowing the outcome (one will be Pro-Mage the other Pro-Templar)
I don't want spoiled on anything
Its 18$ 
any way it can help you faster then the Wiki but Wiki is good too 
I already have the hardcover collectors edition preordered. I will most likely do what I did when I got the ME3 collector edition and that was to look at the guide after my first playthrough
I always get the collector's guides for Dragon Age, and yet I almost never use them for playing (I think I looked through each one when stuck playing Origins and DA2 for the first time maybe once or twice). I buy them more for the extra art and lore that comes with them. Sure, the lore will be on the wiki eventually, and I do check it for lore and walkthrough stuff later, but I like collecting published DA lore. I also preordered the artbook, though I won't peruse it until after I've beaten the game once.
I preordered the hardcover Collectors Edition for $25. It will be the very first Collectors Edition guide I have ever purchased so Im super excited about it!
Anyone know what the Premier Ring of Insight does?
Its 18$
Way faster. In my experience nothing ever shows up on gamefaqs or wiki for at least a month in most cases.
The other problem, GameFAQs in particular, is dbags posting spoilers in the topic titles (cause when the game is first released, you've got to go to the message board if you need help). I remember when DA2 came out, someone put in a topic title the end result of Act 1, the resolution to your mothers story in Act 2 and who the final boss in Act 3 was. I had already beaten Act 2, but I know some people who were still going through act 1 may have been super spoiled.
The guide doesn't have that problem so long as you scan it with your eyes properly.

From the Twitter thread:
@dragonage Inquisition Collector's Edition guide comes with 3 VALUABLE IN-GAME ITEMS. http://ht.ly/DTvZa http://ow.ly/i/7tR1K
There's no description of the ring, but going by the name my best guess is that it gives a free ability. Could be totally wrong, though.
And my goodness, that's one ugly dragon...horse...thing...
I'm surprised no kind of armor or weapons included with in-game bonus items.

I'll probably get it to know for sure what all the choices are and if I need to prepare in advance to make them happen. Like for exemple, if cullen can die but it requires a very specific chain of actions or something
That has to be the ugliest thing I have ever seen in a game! (Sorry whoever designed it, meant no offence.)
Maybe it debuffs enemies when you charge them with it
I always get the strategy guides for RPGs because I miss so much going in blind. Also, I'm a puzzle failure.
I really hope that the print in this one is bigger than the one for DA2. Even with my glasses on it was very hard to read.
I will only get one chance to play the game so I want a perfect playthrough. I only played DA:O and DA2 once as well.
It is the same as Mass Effect.
I'm assuming that the insight ring will boost experience gained. Seems to be more in line with insight than an ability point(but what do I know)
It's also more in line with what we've seen as bonus items in the past, e.g. the Formari Tome and ring for DA:O. (Other games have done this as well, like the +XP% headgear that came as a preorder bonus for Diablo III.)
Happy to see this info has finally been published! We've been wondering for ages. I suspect the dracolisk mount isn't exclusive and that the code just makes it available earlier than usual. I'm also curious about what particular species that is, since "dracolisk" is a category of mounts, according to the menu we've seen in gameplay videos.
ETA: Perhaps the particular species of dracolisk is exclusive -- I guess we'll have to wait two more weeks to find out. :\
What I wanna know is will it let us surpass the soft level cap of 30. Like 1% additional Exp is lots over a whole playthrough, but if it doesn't lead to an additional level at the end then I'm kinda bummed out.It's also more in line with what we've seen as bonus items in the past, e.g. the Formari Tome and ring for DA:O.

It'll let you level up faster. But I doubt it will increase the level cap.
^ This. ^
It will mean that I won't even contemplate
The cap is lvl 30 ?
Regardless, the game is open-ended and doesn't end after the campaign so there's technically unlimited xp available
It's a soft cap: as you reach higher levels, the low level enemies stop providing XP. Theoretically you could reach a level where even the dragons no longer give XP.

The devs have said that there is a soft level cap, meaning that XP returns will decrease as you level. Eventually you will reach a point where you will simply not get XP from most enemies, and I suspect that the ones that will give you decent XP at high levels are unique (e.g. dragons).
Either respawning enemies won't give any XP once you reach a certain level, or they will give so little XP that it will take ages (months, perhaps, depending on the respawn rate) to reach the next level. If the latter is true, there would technically be unlimited XP, but it would be practically worthless. However, the first option would mean there is a limit to XP, at least until such time as they release DLC. You'd still be able to roam around and kill things, but you wouldn't receive XP for doing so.
ETA: totally ninjaed because I'm way too verbose
