Dragon Age 3 Announced
Dragon Age 3 Announced: Dragon Age 3: Inquisition Coming In "Late 2013"
Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, the third game in BioWare's Dragon Age franchise, will be released on late 2013. According to BioWare and EA, the game will combines "the storytelling legacy BioWare is known for" with "deep RPG gameplay." It will be built on a new RPG game engine "underpinned by EA’s critically-acclaimed Frostbite 2 technology." “The Dragon Age team has been working on Dragon Age 3: Inquisition for almost two years now,” said Aaryn Flynn, General Manager of BioWare Edmonton and BioWare Montreal in a statement. “We’ve been poring over player feedback from past games and connecting directly with our fans. They haven’t held back, so we’re not either. With Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, we want to give fans what they’re asking for – a great story with choices that matter, a massive world to explore, deep customization and combat that is both tactical and visceral.” I'd love to be able to tell you more -- show some pictures and maybe a video -- but there is no more to tell at the present. As soon as we get any more information, we'll let you know. Until then, though, check out our review of the last Dragon Age game: |

I switched to mage and I am enjoying it a bit more. It's not as terrible as I made it sound once you get keybinds set up how you want them. The companion AI script is still lacking. I think I was just in a bit of a mood last night when I played. I haven't got past the Hinterlands, so the story will come along, hopefully. The beginning seems pretty generic fantasy complete with a lot of Brits droning on about an amnesiac chosen one closing rifts ... and I think I just kinda lost it.

Bioware games almost always have loot highlight keys, either the tab key (I believe that's what it was in Origins) or the alt key. The only difference with inquisition is that it's the v, there's the radar 'ping' sound to go along with it and the rare hidden item you have to find (which I think is a cool little new thing). Otherwise it's not really anything nothing new.

Looks like there is some talk that EA DRM eats your SSD in certain games... DA3 included. Yuk

Err uhh.. the game makes your drive constantly write information. For solid states drives this is a problem becuase they have finite write cycles. If the game is writing a reportedly 30gb of data for every 40 minutes of gameplay, that's a ton of wear and tear on your SSD. People are concerned if they play DA3 off of an SSD, or already have, that they are prematurely wearing out the drive, and that = $$$

I like this game. But I don't want to control multiple people. Ugh

I've got to be missing something easy. How the fudge do you use a healing potion with ps4?

So I've got an embarrassing number of hours played now, and all I can say is that this game is incredible so far. I've gotten the hang of combat now, including the tactical camera that everybody seems to hate, but I've found to be invaluable during things like dragon fights. The simple thing that fixed it for me was moving the camera so the angle is no longer top down - basically you can stay in third person mode with the tactical camera. Double click on character portraits to change perspective. It's actually pretty easy to control the battlefield, much easier than when I was trying to do everything looking down from above (since you can't pull the field of view very far back).
The story so far is amazing. The trick is, unless you're a grinder (which I am...), you need to get out of Hinterlands by the time you're level 4 or 5. Don't stay there just running random sidequests. Because you can spend dozens of hours there doing random stuff and never advance the story at all. But once you leave (you can always come back and finish stuff later...) everything really kicks into high gear. There are some tremendously emotional moments, and some very difficult choices to make. Even the romances seem to have taken a major step forward, at least with Cassandra, who for me was one of the most mature and well done romances I've ever seen in a bioware game. The character interactions in general (meaning conversations at Skyhold and the ensuing individual character quests) have all been very good as well. Now, being a grinder, I'm still in act 2 despite about 60 hours of game time, so I have no idea what the rest of the game's going to bring. I'm clearing areas right now, and putting off going forward with the story. But to this point this is the best thing I've played in years. And I'm gonna hate not being able to play much this week. |

Ran into an area last night that had some baby dragons and then this big momma swoops down from the sky and rains a fireball on my guys. My little level 4 guys did not make it. Not sure what level of team it will take to go in there but I don't think I will be back there for a while. It is in the hinterlands and in Lady Shaynas Valley
