[@DerKrazyKrautGaming]

Why do game developers insist on making bodies disappear instantly? I know too many objects in the game world could drain the computers memory, but can't they at least make it disappear after you leave the area or something? sigh

[@Merlin_Price]

i agree. one of the things i loved about skyrim was going back through a dungeon and noticing how cool everything looked after i lopped heads. not enough consideration is given to permanent destruction.

[@bornlegacygaming2538]

I mean it could last about 2 months if you play only a few hours a night but let's say 10 h on weekends so 25h every week or so is 5 weeks. I've spent probably 4 times that on skyrim alone this year, (600h? sounds legit about 6.8% of the years time in hours and I'd say I spend way more than 6% of each day on skyrim) and I'm going to be honest I just fell onto the bandwagon of Moba's so... my eyes can't take direct sunlight for the next few months.

I really do hope these allies make a difference and that their not just a "number" added to a total score like some other game. Other than that, game looks great! I'm really glad that they're making it more strategic by encouraging players to use the tactical came.

[@smartmouth4444]

I think the way agents work like points (That's what they made that big guy.) He becomes a resource you can spend to do other things like scout an area or something like that.

[@ItsBrandonYee67]

smartmouth4444 I remember hearing that somewhere. Something like sending assassins out on missions in the Assassin's Creed games, companion missions in SWTOR, or duty officer missions in STO. It's a nice feature to have. What I don't like about the feature is that sometimes it ends up making those characters "2D". In my experience, they tend to become "nobody" with a timer (for whatever menial task given to them). I hope not though. As a huge fan of DAO (and not DA2), it's so important to me that they make the characters have meaningful impact on my campaign against the Fade xD.

[@thebufoon]

Bad news, bud.

[@stevenbell482]

seriously this is the sickest tactics i ever seen in a Role-playing Game!!! As i said before, this gAME will be EPIC E P I C

[@Dwakey]

Looks like a huge improvement for atmosphere in the environments than DA2. And I'm really glad they finally added a top-down isometric view for pause. It was so weird playing a tactics game in Third Person all the time for earlier DA games.

[@bellaswan2248]

Finally a game that will take Skyrim's place as the go to fantasy game! Skyrim had an amazing story and lore but the combat was clunky and boring. This however will have the amazing story and amazing gameplay! It's a win win!

[@Robbie83nijs]

And the next elder scrolls game will take a huge flaming shit on this one.. Trust me. Next/current gen elder scrolls is going to be one of the best selling games this console generation.. This game will sell reasonably well.. But like it's predecessors it's not in the same league as TES.

[@bellaswan2248]

You may be right, but I dread to think how long Elder Scrolls 6 will take. A long time is a reasonable guess. So for that amount of time Inquisition will take the crown as best open world fantasy game. Also I'm sure this being a Dragon Age game, the exploration and choice elements will be a marvel.

SkyrimPrincess If only they could do the same and stop comparing DAI with witcher 3.

[@marquisfire5]

They look the exact same

[@DamnUKakkaCarrotCake]

So does the combat play more akin to the first Dragon Age or the second one? To be honest, I actually like the second Dragon Age's combat because it was more like a hack-'n-slash, but I honestly can't tell if Inquisition is using MMO style combat where your character is doing a series of attacks after one button press, or DA2 style combat where YOU are controlling the attack sequence.

[@War624]

You can play it like DA2, like more of an action rpg, if you want. Attacks don't queue up like an MMO. You can still play with the pause and play tactics from the original DA, if you want.

[@DamnUKakkaCarrotCake]

Okay, cool. Thanks for answering my question.

[@War624]

Not a problem, bud. :-P

[@BradTheAmerican]

I dont really understand when people say DAO and DA2 had different combat "styles." All DA2 did was have faster attack speeds for characters in general, and closing attacks for melee. The core gameplay is the same; you walk in, stab a bitch, walk out.

[@galuskavlad5985]

BradTheAmerican No it's not and you explained why in your comment lol,these differences that you told us are more than enough to throw in a huge gap between the 2.

Tobi4444 the tactics is there, you just have to put it on the hard or nightmare difficulty.

[@bindair_dundat]

I never understood the RPG loot system. You switch gear almost every hour. And even weapons to different weapon types. It is like Aragorn dropping his sword in favor of a mace that does +1 damage. A fighter, who uses *swords* will not change to *maces* unless the situation requires it. Not to mention, that every weapon/armor fits your hero perfectly, no matter the race/size/gender of its previous owner. It is hard to imagine qunari males wearing armor that fits elf chicks perfectly. Even harder the other way around. I would prefer a mechanic where you bring the loot back to base to reforge it into the weapon of your style. You just found *Mace of Fire* but you'd prefer a sword? Reforge it to *Sword of Fire*. You just found *Corset of Fire Resistance* but you are a male? Reforge it to *Tunic of Fire Resistance*. Problem solved, the character is more realistic and you can immerse in the story more easily. Even if they put a slight downgrade on the reforged items it would still worth it.

[@WillJohnson138]

I, like most of RPG gamers, don't change to something that does +1 damage. If it was +25 or say more, then maybe. Most of the people who do that are people that don't Pole Play in a RPG.

[@bindair_dundat]

Will Johnson A real warrior would only switch weapons if the new one is given to him by a King/Queen, a love interest or a legendary weaponsmith/warrior. And they probably wouldn't change to a different weapon style, not even in these cases. It is fine as long as you play as the "farmboy" who starts with *wooden sticks*, but eventually in every game you will gain status, recongition and equipment halfway through and this is when you become a "warrior". And in most games, you keep switching gear long after that point. I still support the idea I mentioned before. You have *sword* and you find *mace of fire* with +5 fire damage. You either replace your weapon, which is the less immersive way, or you reforge the new weapon into your *sword* or a rune that you can add to your *sword* to get *sword of fire* with +3 or +4 fire damage. Those who wish to roleplay, would take that minus fire damage in favour of immersion. It may have been done before in games, but definitely not often.

[@rowboat9633]

You know, it's a bit of that greed for new stuff. Like in diablo you get good gear from everything. It's kinda psychological I guess.

i have discovered new features who must have came with a recent patch: A new storage chest in Skyhold's crypt, not far from it a new table to dye your armors (using materials) and a new shop next to the the woman who sells rune stones. This shop has expensive weapons. Is there any new stuff in the other regions of Thedas?

[@FeuerFremder]

Still no PC gameplay. Worrisome. Until the confirmation that horrible skyrim-ish menu UI, dodge-rolling/button-mashing and pause-only isometric camera are console-only(as in you can play the game in similar way as Origins on pc), this is still no-buy. Still sad for derivative art style and no modding and the writing most likely will be incredibly meh, if bioware's last few titles are to go by, but oh well.

[@wintermoons1215]

Well you are a very pessimistic person. In any case every demo we've seen has been on the PC with an Xbox controller because the controller is easier for doing live demos. But there will be a separate keyboard/mouse interface.

[@FeuerFremder]

wintermoons1215 I hope that involves different UI. One of biggest problems with Skyrim that made it unplayable was the "Scrolling" interface EVERYWHERE(look at the attribute allocation "scroll list" in the video), which makes no sense on PC. But at least with Skyrim you could mod it out - you won't be able with this. So yes its quite a hindrance.

[@johnfaucher2582]

If you mean that you can only use the isometric camera while paused then you're wrong, the latest combat trailer showed a lot of combat in isometric view that wasn't paused. As for button mashing I'm not sure what you mean since there are over 200 spells and abilities. I guess you could mash those 200 buttons lol. The writing I guess is personal preference. I love the writing in dragon age. There are tons of political/racial conflicts with different types of bad guys. There are some all out evil characters but also some enemies that could be considered "good guys" if you look at their point of view like Loghain.

[@FeuerFremder]

john faucher I mean the forced "push button for something awesome to happen" combat nonsense. Hopefully it is playable with mouse like the previous games, without the twitch-combat. AS for writing, no matter the topics, DA2 and ME3 handled it in very juvenile ways(Ex: Ander's "Terrorism", not to mention horrible almost offensive misrepresentation of sexuality). I do not expect anything better in this this. I just hope its more bearable than DA2 writing where unless you played Snarky Hawke(who was sufficiently aware of being a character in some sort of bad fanfic, making quips about stuff and questioning reality), you would go insane.

[@FeuerFremder]

john faucher I am sorry? How the fuck are you doing that shitty logical leap? I am bisexual myself and I am offended that Bioware has turned sexualities into stereotypes. THEY CAN'T write them correctly and the result is offensive horrendous mess. We do not need need stereotypes whose only defining characteristic is their sexuality, we need EQUAL very well fleshed out characters who are capable to stand on their own BEYOND that. . Leliana was a step in right direction, Anders and the guy in ME3 - took away that progress. Write character who happens to be gay/bi/asexual/pansexual. DO NOT write character AROUND it as if they are no longer PEOPLE. Look at Gone Home for an example of WELL WRITTEN LGBT characters who are established as characters BEYOND their sexual preference. Its like bragging about adding poc character into your work and then giving them an "afro" and a gangsta personality.

[@Nova-uh9fe]

Am I the only one who has a hard time trying to enjoy this game?

[@TheOdMan]

+travis sprague I did, when it first came out. I loved Dragon Age Origins, and even Dragon Age 2. So I was very exited to pick this up when it was released, but... there was just something off. I didn't enjoy the combat as much as I did in either of the previous games, the story failed to grip me as Origins had done so many years before, and my favourite class, The Warrior felt kinda "meh" I got as far as to Skyhold, and I got my speciailzation (Reaver) But even that failed to save me from my lack of enthusiasm. So I simply stopped playing, my GF continued though, and she really liked it, she is as big a fan of the 2 previous games as I am, and she has continued to play this game and all the DLC content, and she has loved it and kept raving about it. So, after the last DLC was released, I decided that I should give this game another go (I started playing again little over a week ago) And now I'm 80 hours in and loving every second of it, and I have a lot of the main story plus a lot of side areas left to go through. I don't know what changed for me, maybe it was that I started over and am now playing a Artificer Bow and Arrow Rogue instead, but even though I like this class a lot better, it can't be the only reason. All I know is I stopped playing this game almost a year ago, and gave it up as a lost cause, but upon reinstalling it last week, it has me hooked, and I already bought and installed all the DLC's, because I want more!

[@Nova-uh9fe]

Yeah I am playing as a warrior to, but I want to restart as a archer even though I'm really far

The arrow proceeds to impale the poor man's forehead or torso, and that is the moment when he decides it's probably time to stand up from his chair and loudly ask "Is anyone there?!" because his head feels a little heavier than usual. I'm certain that we won't have that sort of comedy in Inquisition coming from enemies, because there's A.I. in Inquisition (well at least in DA2 enemies did spawn out of thin air, that was quite something).

[@ChibiHelloween]

I´m gonna play the shit out of this Game *.*

[@liepsnele11]

It's really fun reading dudes comments how it sucks that BioWare used female for this gameplay. Almost every game has only male protagonist and it sucks for us (women), you know. But we don't whine nearly as much as you did now.

[@trentstross3388]

Okay, what do I get? This game or middle earth shadow?

[@devilrobbie25]

PenguinGamerz middle earth

[@robertkelly4820]

PenguinGamerz Shadow of Mordor. It's one of the best games I've ever played

[@DankVader4]

middle earth is better imo

[@Purphuros]

middle earth defiantly

[@ibrahimkharal9027]

shadow of mordor is a bit dark. the landscape is most of the time somewhat ugly plus the gameplay is quite linear. same thing to do most of the time. whereas dragon age has a witcher 3 touch and is perhaps a lot more playable. use of magic and stuff like that. but shadow of mordor is more critically acclaimed.

[@hippiebrother3]

Now this... This looks like a game worthy of being a sequel to Dragon Age Origins. DAII was ok, but Origins was like my favorite game, and this looks awesome. Can't wait! Got a new PC coming in for this and Witcher 3.

[@TramainBacchus]

must say I'm impressed. Never liked the past ones but this is on my radar

[@trisnyce]

The enemies need more health to extend battles and I hate the map, go back to DA:O map interface

[@bossross8270]

No.

[@juicekidjayyy]

No.

[@SHORTBUSxH3RO]

No.

[@LadyWgun]

No.

[@johnfaucher2582]

It's probably set on easy btw, most demos are. Enemies usually have more health on harder difficulty.

[@Matyboi]

I always loved the art and lore of Dragon Age but the game was almost unplayable gameplay-wise. Every battle draged on too much IMO and the game would get really boring thanks to that. It looks a tad faster now, but I don't know if it would be worth the buy for me.

[@galuskavlad5985]

A lot of people enjoy the tactical mode dragon age origins had,including me but you should play the second one if you wish for more hack n slash,also this will be perfect as it has both :)

[@Matyboi]

I played both and DA2 was really visually stunning but I had the same problem as with the first one. Atleast the quests were somewhat interesting-

[@galuskavlad5985]

Dee Jay Well that's the first time I hear that,people usually say that DA 2 was worse than origins (I personally think so too) but the gameplay from DA 3 will be a mix between the 2 and,to be frank about it,it sounds like you won't enjoy it much.

[@SerChade]

I disagree, I loved the combat in Dragon age, an example of bad combat for me was skyrim, clunky as hell, no fluidity or satisfaction at all to it, meanwhile the world was so big and immersive.

[@richardgreeter4918]

Dee Jay yup i'm getting both dragon age 3 and witcher 3

[@realOGvoli]

looks better than veil gaurd damn it😂😂😂

[@truelord-x8671]

I must admit, I'm impressed. A big improvement after the debacle DA2 was. Hopefully there will be plenty of customization and choices to be made like in the original. This franchise doesn't need to be dumbed down it needs to stick with the original formula.

[@VittoriaInk]

This has been my favorite franchise since Origins. I cannot wait for Nov.

[@woonam]

This is where everyone gets overhyped and then release rolls around and the game turns out to be Dragon Age 2: DLC

[@GameoftheYear-fx4mq]

It's crazy how bad these comments aged 😂 But I bet you picked up the game anyways. Thought I wouldn't notice your comment on the other video huh?

[@Red_Salmond]

I like this game, I might get it :D

[@ringwormboy1575]

Did you get it? Is it worth it?

[@gh0stofsparta85]

Why is everone comparing this to Skyrim? It looks nothing like Skyrim. It doesn't even look like it plays like Skyrim. Not everything needs to be compared.

[@ivanlagrossemoule]

Because most people only know Skyrim as RPG reference. But I agree, the game has to be worth it on its own, if other games are better or not isn't really relevant. Though honestly, I'm quite sure the threat of The Witcher 3 sort of motivated them to do a better job than on DA2.

[@TastyGamingQc]

The statue in the circle of magi, in DA:O and even Jowan, both seems to foreshadow something big. "The sun goes down but here comes the dawn" sound waaaaay to much like the song "the dawn will come" the first sentence most particularly.

[@maskettaman3331]

Fantastic. Another quality Bioware product, just like Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, and The Old Republic. Since these are not only the greatest games of all time, but also the Citizen Kane of gaming, they will not let us down. Regards, Someone who is not being sarcastic.

[@theothernights]

as the Inquisitor can you pick your own weapon, so i can i be a mace Inquisitor ?

[@theothernights]

Donovan Delacroix ugh this sucks...thanks

[@Caldain77]

maikeljay he was being sarcastic btw

[@theothernights]

Colin Sweeney yeah i know lol

[@Caldain77]

Had to be sure lol lots of disinformation out there in the ol interwebs

[@gsimon123]

Donovan Delacroix TROLLED! 8D

[@bennefib]

people aee whining about the female character... just wow #banIGNcommentsection

[@LoboOscuro88]

Whats up with making all the inquisitors female?

[@MrDowntownmarkbrown]

This is a major upgrade for the others. Looks like I'll be hooked on this one.

[@mousecop3696]

This is dragon origin with more than a hand full of improvements! I love it!!!

[@drownoble]

DAI needs to be a hit for Bioware, for whatever is left of it. DA2 was very disappointing. Reused maps, poor writing and (for PC) awkward combat. ME3 had the huge PR fallout that got so bad the 2 founders of Bioware left the company. SWTOR's sub numbers got so bad it had to convert to f2p to sustain itself. So, to use a baseball analogy, they need a Grand Slam with this game. If this game fails, then Bioware will pretty much be done. A once great company ruined by EA (possibly).

[@CreativeUsernameEh]

Poor writing and awkward combat? No, use your words properly. The combat was too fast and flashy, the endless waves of minions was annoying. Even so, most people enjoyed the increased action/responsiveness of combat, compared to DA:O. It wasn't "awkward" at all. Awkward would be pressing X and waiting 5 seconds for your character to shuffle into position. DA2 was nearly instant and very snappy. The poor writing is your subjective opinion, and I'd like to know why. I really liked all the acts, with the exception of the somewhat tedious act 1. At least it set up quests in the later acts (like the Serial Killer)

[@drownoble]

CreativeUsernameEh I did use my words properly. On PC the combat was awkward, no tab targeting. So when a mob dies I'd have to pause, click the next target and unpause. This broke up the flow of combat. I heard combat was better on console, but I never played it on one.

[@drownoble]

CreativeUsernameEh Oh and as for the poor writing. Merrill ' s story went no where. She's trying to rebuild the mirror that Morrigan used in the DAO DLC. Then at the end says "sorry can't get it to work my bad" and that's it. Numerous characters from DAO make an appearance, but their pointless to the story. I never met Isabela. Not once. You'd think I would of at least been directed to go meet her if I wanted. Go from a large game in DAO that spans an entire country, with many large different environments, to kirkwall. A dull uninspiring city that I never grew to care about. Finally there were too many choices taken away from me. Pick a mage at creation? You just got your sister killed and there's nothing you can do. It's like Bioware wanted the story a specific way and you were just along for the ride. This is why DA2 got lower ratings from critics too.

[@CreativeUsernameEh]

drownoble Uh, Bioware stories tend to go off in different direcitons so maybe you didn't get the same ending: Merrill eventually learned after slaughtering her clan and watching Marethari sacrifice herself she WAS wrong and the mirror was evil. Its a lot of character development, and a big change for her. So she stopped working on the mirror, after the Pride Demon came through. You call that "going nowhere"? The cameos were kind of lame, they should have had real impacts rather than "you get this quest now" or "hey remember this dude?" -- I agree. it seemed rushed. If you didn't meet Isabela, you avoided her. She was constantly at the hanged man, they even play a cut scene the first time she is present; you avoided her on purpose. Hey, I'm not arguing that. DA2 was rushed and they cut corner with the environments. We know.

[@drownoble]

CreativeUsernameEh I didn't "avoid" Isabella at all, I checked locations many times as I played through. You would think if she was essential for the qunari storyline I would of been directed to her somehow. Yet I did that storyline and she was never mentioned. Merrill just "stopping" was going nowhere. After standing by her side she just "gave up", it was rather anti-climactic. As far as a Bioware game DA2 seem to have less branches. Many things were pre-scripted regardless of what I was doing. Not to the extreme of the ME3 ending but still was disappointing.

[@ChallengedBrickGames]

I think it would be awesome if everyone stopped buying EA games and just started pirating them, just to prove how much they've gone downhill

[@Bufuvids]

People don't already?

[@Fyriaan]

Instant pre-ordered DA:I when it was possible, I want to support them with making more of these games.

[@Bloggerboy1000]

Fyriaan And if it turns out into another Mass Effect 3?

[@Fyriaan]

***** Well, then there are no worries, right. I enjoyed Mass Effect 3, the only problem was the ending, but nevertheless a awesome game.

[@nothingtoseehere8771]

the games not even out yet

[@TheHollowClown]

My god..what's with all the complaints about a female inquisitor? Much masculism?

[@TabletTriple9]

Man, this game is going to be so awesome. Just finished all of the content on Origins: Next is DAII, I want to have played it all before Inquisition comes out. BioWare is by far one of my favourite game developers, second only to Naughty Dog, who are genius at developing games. But I love how BioWare blends story with customization and character choices, DA and Mass Effect are legendary franchises in my book. If you haven't finished Origins and all DLC's, again PS: If a recreation of my original grey warden returns with Morrigan as part of the story in Inquisition, that would be the coolest thing ever in terms of an RPG story.

[@bindair_dundat]

For those who plan on playing the previous games before this, don't forget using mods. They make the games even better, Check the Nexus. My ideas: Dragon Age Origins: *SilveriteFix* - this fixes a common bug where you lose some equipment. *Hide Helmet/Armor* - it is so annoying to hide your companions' faces with helmets. Especially cloth and leather wearers, as those helmets look dumb. *Extra Dog Slot* - this allows you to take your dog with any other 2 companions all the time. Is it OP? Slightly. Is it fun? Till the very end. *Qunari update* - this makes qunari look like in DA2. They kind of changed their appearance between the two games, and this simply fixes that. *LockBash* - allows you to bash locks if you don't have a thief in the party. We ain't got no time to "come back later" for it. We want it now. You can even set a % of destroying stuff inside. But 0% is the best. *Gift Guide* - lets you know which gifts should be given to which companions. Nobody wants to google them or miss out dialogues. *More Hairstyles* - just some cosmetics. *Bigger Shale* - this golem companion was shrunk due to gameplay reasons. I don't care what others say, a golem should be bigger than Leliana. Dragon Age 2: *All Chests Unlocked* - similar to LockBash, but this is as far as DA2 modders got. *No More Bloody Teeth* - does what it seems to. *Big Bad Fenris* - makes a typical anime character into a warrior more fitting to a Dragon Age game. I prefered the Dark one. *Tougher Dog* - makes Dog tougher. Here he is already a free companion. Something to change Aveline. There are several mods. The original Aveline looks like He-Man. She is not supposed to be stunning, but at least she should look like a female.

[@prygler]

Yeah there are over 200 skills/spells, BUT YOU CAN ONLY USE 4 OF THEM AT THE TIME, BECAUSE YOU ONLY HAVE 4 SLOTS IN YOUR FREEKING SKILLBAR. Sooo brainless.... seriously....

[@kharjo4331]

You can use 8 and a lot of those skills are passive or upgraded versions of simpler skills. You'll be fine.

[@prygler]

Juvei Styles Yes you got like 4 active skills and 4 passive skills in a 2x skillbar system. I know about it dude. But passive skills are PASSIVE, and therefore you DONT ACTIVELY USE THEM. So they are not really something that contributes to the combat intensity and complexity. They are just buffs that are there. And having only 4 active skills to use in combat is for 11 year kids, who cant comprehend any more than dealing with 4 skills at the time in combat. In previous Dragon Age games you could have lots of skills in the skillbar. Now it is all simplified down to 4 active skills and 4 passive skills. Who cares if there is over 200 different skills/spells... They could make a 1000 different skills/spells, but you can only use 4 active (ye ye and 4 passives) at the time. Do you run around checking hundreds of skills/spells in when you can only use 4 actively? No, you choose 4 and then stick with them untill you get bored or challenged enough to change something in the 4 skills/spells. Why? Because of default bias and status quo bias, which is a psychological bias in humans, where you have strong psychological tendency to use whatever you are already using, unless something motivates you to change it. This is not fun! This is not a good thing to have in a game! Its like when Total War decided that "Oh the building system in Rome 2 need to be simplified down to 4 to 6 building slots in each town and like 20 different buildings, so they wont get confused and so the game wont be too complicated for people". Previously Total War games had a fine building system, with lots of options and limited resources. Now Total War Rome 2 is made with at simplified shitty building system, which makes the game booooring! I know because ive played and many says Rome 2 is boring.

[@Genkaro]

They have to cater to the console untermensch.

[@prygler]

Well look at the gameplay footage. They never do pause the game and use a different skill/spell then they have in their skillbar. So it seems you cant on that data. But ultimatively i dont know. However, you should always use your skill from your skillbar, that is what the skillbar is for in the first place....

[@tzlawina]

Like World of Warcraft, lets just clutter the whole screen with a million skills. Will work extremely well with a controller. Fucking idiot.

[@ttobyg]

Dragon Age series is to RPGs as McDonalds is to food.

[@Rastrelly]

Looks mediocre. I Numenera, Withcher 3 and PoE seem to have muuuch more potential.

[@Rastrelly]

Why stop? Witcher 3 and DA3 compete directly. They both promise open-ended world and lots of gameplay hours. But W3 is based off a really good setting (if you didn't read the books, it's not my fault) and visually looks better (IMO, of course).

[@gsimon123]

Rastrelly True. But you can't pick your character can you? You can't pick your race can you? You can't play as any member of your party can you? Oh and add to the fact that Bioware always presents more dialog options and story paths... it is also a very easy case to argue that Bioware consistently gets superior voice actors... plenty of reasons to play this instead of Witcher. It is all preference. WHY NOT PLAY BOTH? Besides the latest trailer from Gamescon for DAI was more impressive to me than anything Witcher 3 has presented. And I don't give a shit about the books. I want to sit down and play a game that entertains me without the need to read novels. Besides, Dragon Age has books too lol

[@Rastrelly]

I won't play DA:I in any case: after ME3 I'm boycotting BioWare. Still, I preferred Witcher setting to Dragon Age's one. Sapkowsky managed to create a great pattern of factions and countries, a wonderful backdrop and awesome characters. Can't wait to see Ziri and Yennifer. And don't you fucking dare to compare The Witcher novels to that soulless crap released for DA. Do you even aware that Witcher games are based on book series that is actually more interesting then Game of Thrones cycle? Also, I don't care how you spend your time. I hope buying all DLCs to DA:I will be fun. As for WHY NOT PLAY BOTH: maybe in your country 60 bucks is a miserable sum, but I live in fucking Ukraine.

[@gsimon123]

Rastrelly I don't care about your financial problems. And you claim that it is heathenish to insinuate comparing video game novels but yet you make the wild uneducated boast that the Witcher books are on par with Game of Thrones? Do you mean a Song of Ice and Fire? In which case you are still silly. ASOIAF is what freaking inspired generic stuff like Witcher. The Witcher is nothing remarkable from a storytelling perspective. It is just darker in tone than Dragon Age which is simply what you prefer - not better. It is nowhere near the same league as Martin's book series you stock-fish. That tells me everything I need to know about you - you don't know the difference between an above average book series and one of the best ever written since Tolkien. So stop typing useless comments on here since you clearly don't care about Bioware anymore. The amount I care about your dislike for Bioware is even less than my sympathy for you being a poor bastard that can't afford two video games. Get a job and a better taste in storytelling and stop to trying to ruin things for other people just because you can't enjoy them.

[@LadyWgun]

gsimon123 well said sir

[@297fihsy]

Looks awesome, I feel like this and the Witcher 3 are the big fantasy RPGs for the next few months.

[@Narwelch]

I never played the others or cared enough to look into this game, but I'm liking what I'm seeing. I might have to pick this up. Then I'll actually have a reason to play my PS4.
