  DRAGON AGE™: INQUISITION Official Video – Creating the Visual FX

Most of the effects shown on this video don't exist in the real version of the game. Vivianne doesn't have the magic ability of casting meteors as it's shown in the video. There is not such a scene where a mortar hits a fortress because there are no mortars in-game. There is no NIGHT time on The Western Approach.

 

If you pay attention, the video shows many more things that never made it to the final version. This is not a leaked video recorded by an attendee to an Alpha presentation from EA/Bioware. This is an official video.

 

This video is really deceiving. It seems intended to attract new customers who will buy this game basing their decision on things they won't find in the current version of game because the game don't have them.

I'm not mad in this case. Inquisition is already a big game. How can someone complain that something is missing when there is just so much game?

So why then don't show what IS in-game instead of making an official video of things that no one will experience if someone purchases and play the game.

[Cheviot]

Among the things in the game are:

 

-The nighttime desertscape of the Hissing Wastes

-The meteor-tastic Firestorm spell

-The part of Here Lies the Abyss where the Inquisition lay seige to the Wardens.

 

Also, if the intent was to hoodwink unsuspecting buyers into buying a game that had the features shown in the video but in different context, they would not have emphasised "plenty of torches" as a striking visual effect.

[caradoc2000]

And it has a Jade Empire poster in the background, you can't be mad at any video that has a Jade Empire poster.

[Ryriena]

So then why tell these people that these visuals are in the game, when they aren't. I would clasfiy that somewhat as false advertising or at least misleading the audience in to buying their games. They should stop using pre alpha footage to sale the game, since they cut most of those items in the finale product.

Oh, it also shows vegetation and a sword....or two. There is vegetation and swords in the actual game so you are maybe right

There is a desert at night time. There is a castle wall.  There is a spell that drops meteors on an area of the battlefield.  There is a castle under seige. A person buying the game specifically for those things gets those things. 

 

And plenty of torches.  Plenty.

That's your argument I mean really?

Ahh yes.....

 

Vast open spaces filled with bears, wolves, bandits and more bears.

 

Not to mention the most epic quest of all: Lead that Druffalo back to the owner.

 

Good times.

Glad we sorted this out.

Please tell me your joking, since it's misleading at it's best or at least false advertisement at it worst. Since they claimed The Western Approach would have this feature not the Hissing Waste.

That is not the problem with this official video and you know it. This video is filled with fake content that is not part of the actual game. None of your examples above make up for the fact that this video deceive potential customers into believing that what is shown in this video, is the real content in-game. That's either false advertising or it's at least, put in there for deceiving purposes.

[Ryriena]

Ok I just read that again my scarsam meter must be broken or just from being tired lol.

Well I hope this imaginary person who buys games exclusively based on what time of the day it is in a specific desert level of games that contain three desert levels set at different times of the day is able to get their money back from the games store in whatever whimsical realm of the imagination they dwell in.

[Han Shot First]

There is a meteor casting area effect spell in the shipped game. It just ends up as one of Solas' spells (potentially) instead of Vivienne.

This video, released nearly 3 months after the game is released, is supposed to trick people who have not bought the game so far, despite however many official videos, trailers, reviews and awards, and they hope to do that with the promise of night time deserts and torches?

I am not saying I would turn my game in for this, but this is somewhat misleading to the viewers of said video. It could be considered misleading or false advertisement from a lawyers veiw point.

Nope. The video has been made with the sole purpose of giving you the opportunity to defend EA/Bioware intentions........and their videos. Mission accomplished.

Au contraire, mon ami.  The video has been created for you alone, so you can protest on behalf of people who don't seem to exist, and try to paint me as some sort of corporate apologist, when I have misgivings about the video, just not the ones you're attempting to have.  For one, why the emphasis on torches?

You make it sound like that's all there is to it.

So many missions accomplished then, mon ami.

 

What emphasis on torches are you talking about? I don't recall mentioning them before now.

The interviewer asks the guy something like "so what are some of the cool details players can see" and the first thing he says is "plenty of torches".  He leads with that, as if that's the most important thing!
