Dragon Age 3: Inquistion

[Bilopdop]

Really looking forward to this game.

When I look up the Inquisitors Edition it says not available. Is it sold out or have they not started selling them yet?

Sold out I believe.

New trailer featuring a bit more Morrigan and hints at the villain.

Spoiler: show

And a little bit of FemHawke thrown in as well so guess that character isn't as done as the Warden from Origins though I have a feeling that one moment from that game is going to come into play here again.

"If you just took on the story and nothing else, roughly 55 hours is the time we've achieved during our playtests. But naturally, players are going to stop and do optional objectives, so it's going to take them a little longer than that. If you did everything, it would come in at around 150 hours." Per Aaryn Flynn from Bioware at EA's Gamescom conference.

Dragon Age: Inquisition, the third entry in BioWare’s epic fantasy RPG series, will sport four-player co-operative multiplayer at launch.

According to IGN, the newly announced mode will challenge you and three other friends to take on three different multiplayer campaigns, each lasting about 20 to 30 minutes in time. Each campaign randomly generates a large level comprised of 10 smaller pre-designed sections. Every play through will vary not only in arenas, but also enemy encounters. In the multiplayer environment, combat is all in real-time, so gamers won’t have the same chance to stop time and plan attacks.

Like Mass Effect 3′s multiplayer, players will earn gold during each play through that can be used to unlock Treasure Chests that carry items like recipes, potions, grenades, new equipment, heroes, and hero skins. Items and equipment are not up for purchase with real money, but players can opt to trade real dollars for more in-game gold in order to speed up the unlocking process.

Nine heroes are offered at launch, three in each class — mage, melee, and archer — with more to be added through free DLC which also will include new levels.

Pleased to hear this after the ME3 Prothean fiasco.

While ME3 multiplayer was pretty awesome, I hope they're leaving it as a totally separate entity from the singleplayer. Dunno how I'd feel about the fully realtime combat, but in theory players would be smarter then the occassionally retarded AI in the games (unless you had the AI mods in the first one)

[Vagrant]

They did eventually say it will be totally separate in which case I'm not that bothered by it so long as they don't ignore the single player post release.

[Krandor]

I'm still holding out hope that people will figure out how to reliably mod the game, since Bioware has been saying that Frostbite 3 is not conducive to modding. Based on the screenshots/videos I can't see myself really wanting to do anything visual to the game outside of SweetFX or something, but I'm sure Bioware will fuck up Archery AGAIN and modders will have to fix it in some way (though truthfully all it took in 2 was a simple console command to give yourself a single perk).

So it's not going to be full on character creation like Origins, but instead of just Hawke from 2, there's 9 different persons to choose from?

There will be full character creation for singleplayer.

Those are for the MP portion of the game or DAMP as Bioware is apparently calling it.

Just like ME3 multi, you get a few classes/races at launch with more added every so often along with new maps for free to keep people playing. I have never been much of a multiplayer guy (even in xi, I solo'd mostly or duo/trio) but I enjoyed the ME3 multiplayer. Hopefully this retains a similar feel and is a fun addition to the game.

There's a playable MP demo at PAX. Though I hear the line is really, really long.
