Our wish has been granted – at last we have a Dragon Age Inquisition date. And there’s even a gameplay trailer to accompany it – wow the game looks as beautiful as I’d hoped. You just have to watch.
Holy Bioware that video is impressive. For those who don’t watch videos, we get a glimpse into the gameplay and the world, as well as some of the backstory. My favorite part is what appears to be a big, burly smart-mouthed companion. Oh, and I suppose the actual dragons attacking. Yeah, it all looks rather pretty.
So, the game is coming 7 October 2014. Will it be everything we hoped for? Well, it certainly looks like it. The characters seem varied, and I’m liking what I can glean from the storyline. Besides, with visuals and audio like that, it’s sure to be a breathtaking experience. I seriously need to play this on my next generation console. Of course, that means transferring all my save data from my last generation console using the Dragon’s Keep, but it will be worth it.
Anyone else making this an insta-buy? I know EA has lost a lot of credibility, especially with the Dragon Age franchise, but I can’t help but think that this one might just redeem them. The trailer made me feel all tingly – I can’t wait to see what Bioware has done.

Depends on a lot of things. Mostly because this is being handed to us by Ea’s dirty, oily, unwashed, hairy, money grubbing hands. But that trailer though………

Hopefully they have the game at RAGE! Will need to get a next-gen before this game launches 🙂

I was excited about this game before that video… That just amplified it by a million 😐 I’ll go hibernate until October now

Why does the video still say DA:I but show a guy from Skyrim? 😉

You are drinking the kool-ade. Don’t start anointing this as the redemption of the DA franchise based on a video that shows no game mechanics at all. There is still plenty to be skeptical about.

As with all new games, wait a while and get the game and all the DLC for less than the original game. It’s the only way to experience the full game for a reasonable price. You just never know how much of the game has been carved off into DLC to make extra money until they release it all.
Alien Emperor Trevor
April 22, 2014 at 18:58
That’s true. It’s an EA game & they LOVE their DLC.
CTed
April 22, 2014 at 20:32
Yeah I am a year behind now on games but once you get into the cycle it’s the same, new games every year just a year old. You get the GOTY edition with all the DLC for original price or less.
Alien Emperor Trevor
April 22, 2014 at 22:30
That’s what I’ve been doing for the last 2 years as well. Not only do you save money, you don’t stuck with preordering a dud.
CTed
April 22, 2014 at 22:52
and you don’t play the game and then they announce some coll DLC you would wished you had when you played but don’t feel like playing again just to include the DLC… Isay wait until the entire game is released before playing it……

“wait a while” wtf does that mean? 😉
unfortunately, I am looking for an awesome RPG game for a while now. Not that many out there that fancy my taste.
I was one of the few that enjoyed all the DA games so far. So it will be hard to wait 😉

Varric! I love that bastard. Definitely day one for me, might even try to get a collector’s edition. This looks more and more promising. 🙂

You would guess correctly. Also Witcher 3 and WoW Collectors editions are in the pipeline.

its been sitting in my takealot cart for weeks now, been waiting for any news on preorder bonuses

April 23, 2014 at 10:09
I wonder if I can play this, without playing the previous ones.
Matthew Holliday
April 23, 2014 at 11:32
Theyr pretty standalone, i played #2 without finishing #1 and didnt feel i missed out much.
a few references to characters here and there, but thats about it.
OminousRain
April 23, 2014 at 11:38
Thats good to know. Also never finished the first, and never played the second.

been trying to get back into DA:O but it feels so old now, controls are so gimmicky.
Matthew Holliday
April 23, 2014 at 12:00
Is there any news on anything about the preorder bonus?
theres a digital delux version, but that just comes with a few hats.
