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:

According to a post on reddit, 43 reviews currently, combined average score of 88/100.

Some random tidbits from reviews:

Inquisition is a triumph and proves that despite some missteps along the way, BioWare hasn't lost its touch.

Inquisition is not defined by the traditions it returns to, but by the new directions it forges for this magnificent fantasy universe.

Obviously I cherry picked the best of the lot, but even the negative reviews were along the lines of "may not be the best thing RPG ever but still the best in a while". Lowest scores I've seen so far were 3.2 out of five (still described as 'good' by the reviewer) and 7/10 (in Swedish, no clue what it says...).

So fyi, for anyone who isn't aware or who has forgotten, there are no save imports for DAI. You have to go through the Dragon Age Keep to set up everything. That bugged me initally, but as I went through it this morning I actually found it to be a nice refresher on everything that happened in the first two games (neither of which I've touched in 2+ years). Links is https://dragonagekeep.com/en_US/worldvault/#product/dao

Usually avoid posting full articles, but screw it, I liked this one. Putting it in a spoiler tag simply because it's a very long read, not because it's particularly spoilery...

Got a month of EA Origin to save 10% off the pre-order. Paid no sales tax and now get to play it for 6 hours before next Tuesday. Best pre-order I've ever pulled the trigger on!

Bit from an article from polygon talking about how Dragon Age: Inquisition’s greatest achievement is its writing
Quote:
the writing manages to make me feel like I am exploring a world with a bunch of different personalities. They react to circumstances and action triggers in ways that feel authentic. I do not feel as if I am moving through a world, dragging these constructs around with me, just because I am going to need them to cast spells or deliver melee damage. Frankly, I'd happily have the best of them tag along, just for the ride.

Different characters feel as though they were raised in cultures that you may or may not find agreeable. They bring alternative perspectives to the broader story.

...

This, for me, is just as valuable as the gorgeous visual details of soaring mountains or swaying trees or burning cottages. I love that, while I'm going about my busy quest, I can enjoy the drawn-out resolution of two characters who ought to hate one another, exploring potential areas of commonality. I love that characters defined by their beliefs at the beginning of he story, become defined by their ability to question their beliefs. I love that romance is a drawn out process of simpatico and compatibility, build upon words and actions, not gimmicks like gift-giving.

It helps that the issues at stake in this world are interesting in and of themselves. They may be presented in fantasy gobbledygook about chantries and elixirs and the end of the world, but they are really about belief and belonging, self-doubt and individuality. The developers have chosen not to simply leave this soup on the boil, until it is reduced to a bland liberal jus of tidy RPG resolutions. There is a feast of different ideas and perspectives, demanding that you consider their merits and shortcomings.

...

BioWare has made games in the past that lack the emotional wallop of Inquisition. Technological potential is only rarely realized in game design, most particularly in the area of creating convincing narrative worlds. No, this game's chief triumph is its writing. The fact that the writing stays good, right through this massive game, is an achievement in itself.

I dug into it for an hour or so last night. It's different than any DA I've played before, and I'm getting ready to tear into those 6 hours some more right now.
