I will not be reviewing Dragon Age: Inquisition, which means that I get to release my unbridled enthusiasm for the game. I simply can’t wait to create my Inquisitor, explore all of Thedas, do every single side mission/quest and interact with my followers. Every aspect of the game excites me, and now this trailer is making my wait for the game seem interminable.
Here is Dragon Age: Inquisition’s latest official trailer – The Breach.
And this is where those without YouTube access can watch it. There should be no excuse now, everyone must see this video and join me in the excitement for the game.
Maybe it’s the music, or perhaps it’s seeing the combat and how all the characters work together, or it could be the uniquely terrifying enemy design, but that trailer gave me goosebumps. I am far, far too ready for Dragon Age – I need it to be in my home already.
Dragon Age: Inquisition keeps going on about how you need to lead them or fall, which is sort of like every other RPG; be good and save the world, or everyone will die. However, I like that there’s a focus on leadership. It’s not just about leading a party of ragtag heroes – the people you are leading and working with are leaders in their own right. It somehow makes me feel like the Inquisitor is even more heroic, and has even more responsibility.
Have you, like me, pre-ordered the game already? Are you that excited, or will you be waiting for even more positive reviews before you’re convinced? Our review will hopefully be out next week so you can read all of our thoughts in time for launch.

I am soo looking forward to this game!! I have one question though, will I need to use the whole ‘Keep’ thing? Or will it still give me the options to change the story when I start the game?

They said you can start from anew, but my guess will be they’ll incorporate important decision into the game from previous DA games as you play along a new game.

I hope they’ll figure out some way of importing your saves from previous games acrfoss platforms or ast least do the mini comic DLC thing that ME introduced for the decisions… my problem is not even PS3 to PS4, My previous DA exploits are on XB360 and I’ve pre-ordered this on PS4…

Great thanks for the clarity, Just wasn’t sure if it allowed for cross platform from Xbox to PS, but seems like it does…

there is a “default” world of pre-made decisions, otherwise you use the Keep to use your customized version of Thedas with your own decisions from previous games.
Reid
November 14, 2014 at 13:11
If the default world is anything like the default settings in Mass Effect 3 it’s best to use the Keep. I didn’t have a save for ME3 and according to those settings Shepard sucked in the previous games and a lot of people died.

I actually watched the trailer (at home where I have YouTube) and it seriously impressed me. Then I started watching more DA:I videos, just to torture myself (since I’m not getting it).

Aside from the fact that I haven’t really bought an EA game since SimCity I actually have to choose between DA:I or spending that same money on some games I have on my wishlist on the coming sale. I’m not big enough of a DA fan to go for it, even though it does look great.

Is the inquisition by any chance from your better half?
Mine bitches about becoming a gaming widow whenever something new comes along…
Just the other day she paraded around in front of the TV in my man-cave in sexy underwear and was very put out when I told her she wasn’t made of glass and to please get out the way because I couldn’t see the demon in Diablo that was kicking my ass…
She seemed very put out for some reason…?

November 14, 2014 at 13:47
Yeah, I know, but in the game you’re the “Inquisitor”;
In my case in RL my wife is the “Inquisitor” and I’m the “Inquisitee”… and she takes full advantage of punishing me for spending too much time on the game and not enough on her…
ToshZA
November 14, 2014 at 13:56
If I’m honest – if my wife/gf were to be in front of me in her underpants, the game would cease to exist.

New PS4 update fixes the game, it was mentioned in one of the reviews, when the game went through certification it was certified for the previous version, the current firmware breaks it new one out this week fixes it at least its on sony’s side and not BioWare, because as much as we loathe EA this is BioWares last chance if this game tanks because of felling rushed like DAII no one will trust them for the next Mass Effect and that will be sad

Well on the internet and on a gaming website, people tend to have internet lines at home. They also tend to believe that everyone has internet or should just get internet, like it’s an easy thing to do.
But when I go out into the real world and meet real people. They tend not to have internet lines at home.
Internet people can’t fathom that there are lots of people without internet at home.

Like the people who run XBOX. They had all the DATA in front of them.
80 million 360s sold, only 47 million on XBOX LIVE. So they opted for an Internet 24hour DRM console.? One word… AMERICA. 😛
Ryanza
November 14, 2014 at 13:31
That’s why It never made sense to me. Yes Microsoft saw they were making money through Xbox Live. I don’t know if they just figured that if they are targeting a 5 year cycle, then just market the Xbox Live crowd.
48 million divided by 8 is close to what they have sold with the Xbox One.
84 million divided 8, then you can see how much more the PS4 sold in a year.

No need, they got the boot. A pity the studio who published 2 of the best games (Mass Effect and Alan Wake) had to shut shop.
Matthew Holliday
November 14, 2014 at 14:01
i actually think that if over 50% are willing to pay for an xbox live subscription is a success story for xbox, rather than thinking “only 47 million”.
their use of always online for the next console was a given, they wanted to push it, if the xbox live subscriptions hadnt been so successfull, then they would have pushed compulsory always online sooner, rather than later.
forcing people online opens up chances to get more money.
it has nothing to do with the data, it has to do with profit.
OVG
November 14, 2014 at 14:04
Makes sense.
Ryanza
November 14, 2014 at 14:10
48 million is not the Xbox Live Gold stat. The 48 million is just the stat of people who set up an Xbox Live account. Then you have to think about those who have more than one account. For the most part that 48 million number is Xbox Live Silver accounts.
Yes it’s fine if they want to create more money through Xbox Live Gold. But when they cut off a lot of people who would have bought the console, is not a good thing.
As it stands Xbox One is only for internet users. I hope Xbox Live and all those multiplayer only games accounts for all those offline players they lost. Because Sony has them now. And Sony is known for their single player games. The Last of US. Just to mention one.

You could always download the updates from the playstation site and do a manual update. Maybe at work or somewhere else. It would suck if it doesn’t work and you need to update your ps4 to play an offline game
