Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

The strength of mages and weakness of fighters is one of the bigger issues I had with DAO. My first toon was a sword+board guy, and he was weak to basically any CC. My second guy was a blood mage, and he roflstomped the entire game. DA2's balance is better.

The way I got through DAO was tank goes in, taunts, mage uses the invulnerability prison on tank, and then I unload on AOEs on mobs swarming the invuln tank.

Make sure you learn how to make potions. It is infinitely cheaper and you will always come across herbs to make them in your travels.

Bioware does a good job creating promotional videos, hi2u Sacred Ashes/Choices/Destiny/Take Back Earth/ Betrayal/The Return/ etc, but I can't see how you can get overly excited until people get their hands on some real substance and can provide a verification of quality workmanship or not.

Hot and bothered over an engine showcase, really? You can see better visuals in an HD BF4 walkthrough...

I'll play it because I'm a graphics whore, but I have zero faith in BioWare's ability to make a game that is even just "decent" anymore.

The simple fact that they're taking longer than a year to make this one is reason enough to feel hopeful that this'll be better than DA2 (really, how the hell did they think they would crank out a AAA rpg in a year?). Combined with that leaked demo video, I am, dare I say, cautiously optimistic about DAI.

Although yeah, I'm going to want reviews before buying.

Looks good and it appears they have been keeping on eye on the Witcher 3. Unlike the Witcher 3 though this game does have a release date set for this September (I have a feeling we won't see Witcher 3 till next year).

At 1:31 I can make out three of the four party members being Varric, Cassandra, and the Inquisitor, but I can't think of who the skinny bald dude with the staff would be. Anders with cancer on chemo hopefully.

I pretty much have stockholm syndrome with bioware - I'll still buy it at release and it'll probably be a CE. I loved DA:O because it had the spirit of Baldur's, and while DA2 didn't amaze me it still had some awesome storytelling elements in it (Though not really the main story) so yea. It looks gorgeous, and bioware games that let you make choices have the same effect that reading a good book series does: You become attached and you have to see how the story ends.

Also the dragon age world is pretty awesome. That trailer is straight out of a bunch of games though; you can see The Witcher, Skyrim, etc all in it as inspiration.

Same. DA2 was bleh. I'll wait for reviews on this one. Honestly, the launch games I bought for PS4 were the only games I've purchased without reviews/waiting in a long, long time.

and by "reviews" we obviously mean "reviews from people who have played through the entire game and have seen the ending(s)" here

It was great in theory, but completely dicked people over from using certain choices because they were too minor to represent.

A la dialogue choices in ME2 that opened up peace between Geth/Quarians. Iirc even making the right choices in the comic book and ME3 you couldn't make peace without playing ME2. What the hell.

thats where savegame editors come into play
