Dragon Age 3: Inquistion

I don't want to read up or check in on any of this new information. Still way too long for this game to come out and it'll most likely get delayed even farther.

That said, I'll still probably keep checking up on any new information.

Another game informer article on the game. This one is about the Mages and Templars. First page is mostly a recap of things. Second page is on what to expect in the future.

Some new gameplay footage of combat there along with the confirmation of Qunari as a playable race joining Elf, Dwarf, and Human.

Might be delayed to 2015

EA has cast doubt over Dragon Age: Inquisition's autumn 2014 release date, suggesting that though a release next year is "most likely", there's a possibility it could slip.

"We were highly conscious of the fact that, if Battlefield is as successful as we believe it'll be, that that sets ourselves up for a challenge next year," said EA CFO Blake Jorgensen during the firm's Q2 2014 financial call last night. "But remember, we're introducing NBA this year. We're introducing UFC next year. We have Sims next year, we would most likely, possibly have Dragon Age next year."

Dragon Age: Inquisition (previously known as Dragon Age 3) has already seen a major delay, having been previously due to launch this autumn. It is currently expected to launch on current-gen consoles, PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 late next year.

However, Jorgensen's comments suggest the firm may not be 100 per cent confident in the revised release date.

EA will reveal "more about our ultimate revenue and plans and title plans when we give guidance later in the year," Jorgensen adds.

It's good to see they're at least learning from their mistakes and not shoving shit out the door like ME3 and DA2 were. Kinda glad they threw out the new command and conquer as well. Maybe we'll actually get one worth playing.

**Krandor** · 2013-10-31 07:18

Based off what their CFO is saying, it would have nothing to do with the game being "ready" and more to do with EA and their love of money.

**mightyg** · 2013-11-03 02:01

Well, the initial concept for C&C generals 2 was a bigass "free to play" scheme where units were rented. It was shit and it would have failed. So they canned it, and maybe they'll realize you can't throw shit monetizing schemes into established franchises and expect the customer to enjoy it. Here's hoping the dlc for DAI is actually worthwhile and not petty little chunks carved out of the main game like exiled prince and prothy the prothean.

On a side note. They are absolutely retarded for not emulating the League of Legends model. Seriously missed that bus a long long time ago, you think they'd have wised up by now.

The Dragon Age Keep

Hey, it’s me again,

In Dragon Age, choices matter. It has always been important for us that our fans have complete control and freedom in shaping their Dragon Age world. The decisions you make, the foes you vanquish, the relationships you forge. It’s all important and needs to be honored. Many of you have been wondering how your choices from Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II will be supported in Dragon Age Inquisition. Today, I’m here to give you information on exactly that.

I’m excited to announce the Dragon Age Keep. Within the Keep, you’ll be able to customize a Dragon Age historical world state to your exact specifications. How did you modify your Warden and Hawke? Who were your companions? Who did you choose to romance? Who rose to power, and who fell in defeat? What legacy did you leave?

Within the Keep, you’ll be able to customize as much or as little about the world of Thedas as you wish. Then you’ll be able to import your saved world state into DAI at the start of a new game. Have you lost or corrupted your save files? No problem — remake your world state on the Keep, and preserve it for the future. For those folks new to the Dragon Age franchise, the Keep will serve as a great way to understand the people, places, and events that shaped the world leading up to DAI.

I’d like to give some history on how the Keep came into existence. Very early in the planning of DAI, we began to think about how we were going to address the issue of importing save game files. We were dealing with a brand new game engine, plus the next generation of consoles. It was a priority that our fans be able to have their decisions carry forward, regardless of their past or future platform.

We realized that in order to make this work, we’d have to look into a cloud-based solution. Moving to the cloud allows players to take their unique world state into any platform (present or future) and even other media. For existing fans, an advantage of being in the cloud is that (if you are ok with spoilers) you can fully explore what-if scenarios, and become aware of events and consequences in our past games that you may not have known were possible. You can then fire up the previous games and go exploring for those moments.

Even if you don’t go back and re-play the previous games, you can still establish that scenario as part of your world state, and import it at the start of a new DAI game to see the consequences of your actions.

What about actually importing your save games? We are continuing to investigate ways in which save files from previous games could be used to populate the initial world state of the Dragon Age Keep. We’ll provide more information on this in the months to come.

An additional benefit offered by moving to the cloud is being able to fix issues in plot logic, which historically we have not been able to do because of client side complexity or platform holder limits. Under the hood, the Keep has a logic validator which ensures you’ll always have a valid world state free from errors and conflicts.

Choices in our games are immense, and on occasion subtly perceived. In some cases, the consequences of decisions you’ve made in a past game won’t reveal themselves until some future story. Handling all these permutations is complex. Really complex. Tracking all possible prerequisites and potential knock-ons, even just to create the simple acknowledgement of a choice is very detailed — and prone to error.

As an example, an import from DAO to DA2 brought across something in the order of 600 different data points, most requiring complex logic solving to answer correctly the question of “how did the player settle this choice at the end of the game.” As a result, some current save imports are buggy, which is our fault, and something we’re committed to fixing. Permanently. The Keep allows us to do just that. Users of the Keep won’t have to suffer with these types of logic inconsistencies any longer.

Starting today, you can visit the Dragon Age Keep and register for its beta, set to kick off early next year. We’re eager to hear your feedback and get your impressions before it launches publicly in 2014. The Keep will be available to everyone a few months before DAI gets released, in order to give fans plenty of time to experiment with scenarios and make their history exactly how they want.

More to come soon, and thanks for reading.

Thank The Maker I don't have to do multiple DA2 playthroughs.

**Souj** · 2013-11-08 21:02

Sounds actually awesome. And also debunking the rumor of it being pushed back to 2015.

hey! I actually remembered my Origin password.

Oh. You can only apply for beta now. Can't do the save data stuff yet. Boo!

Multiplayer rumored
http://assets.vg247.com/current//201...ultiplayer.jpg

Someone has spotted a survey that GameSpot linked that is intended to help BioWare recruit folks near Vancouver for a playtest on Dragon Age: Inquisition. The questions are all about experience with previous BioWare games, with one specifically asking about Mass Effect 3′s co-op mode.

That doesn’t necessarily mean anything about what will be in the final game, but it does lead easily to speculation that the playtest will involve a multiplayer component of some sort, perhaps to see if what they’re developing is worthwhile at all. This is not, of course, the first time word of a Dragon Age multiplayer mode has spread around.

This third Dragon Age will be out on PC and Xbox One and PS4 someday.

Those look very underwhelming.

**Prothescar** · 2014-03-23 20:49

fancy use of shit light filters to hide muddy textures and character models. k. the dragon is the only one that looks interesting.

**Takiwaki** · 2014-03-23 21:14

Looks like magazine scans, could be why they look like crap. I could be wrong too lol. Its just the gameplay footage looked alot better.

**hey** · 2014-03-24 02:17

If it plays anywhere near as good as the first, i'll play it no matter how awful it looks.

**noblemountain** · 2014-03-24 08:06

graphics are not in my top five concerns for this game.

**Thiefami** · 2014-03-24 10:53

yep, not caring about the graphics. I am really excited about continuing the storyline
