Dragon Age: Inquisition Pre-Release Thread

[Tytus]

They figured out how to make RPGs more replayable. One playthrough for each waifu.

And two voices per gender! When you play again, you can hear a different crappy voice actor saying the same bullshit lines as before! You can play it 4 times!

 

[GrainWetski]

Frostbite does not lend itself very well for fantasy/medieval style.

Don't blame the incompetence of the developers on the engine.

 

[Shadenuat]

I can't believe they used twice the amount of money on voice acting for protagonists than they used before.

As for the gameplay, it might be players will end up running in a bunch of linear locations farming power-points to progress the plot. And if you're not stupid, you'll better farm fucking all of them like in ME3, unless you want one of your favorite waifus die.

How much can it cost anyways...? I mean it's just reading lines in front of the mic, it's not rockit science.

 

[Space Satan]

A lot of devs stated that voice acting costs a great chunk of game budget. People said it was mostly related to some "voice acting union" that holds actors' salaries high.

 

[tuluse]

Who's their target audience ?

Players who like going on an epic journey with party of NPCs that have personalities.

Most romances ever, in "all kinds of flavors"

You all know it's true.

the presentation looks good so far.

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

Secret harem ending DLC incoming !

Auto-balancing? Dragon Age 3 scales to your level

They said in the presentation the game does NOT scale to your level, you dummy

jewtube version

i bet that dragon was as random encounter as was that griffon in witcher 3. he just happenes to be there

 

[muds_animal_friend]

It actually looked vaguely promising in that video.

Roofles.

 

[set]

Awesome button everywhere.
Overly flashy shit. Animations have no weight to them -- again.
Retardedly sparse and binary dialogue options...
Pointless tacked-on MP like ME3
Awful aesthetics and questionable degraded writing.
This is another DA2.

 

[Perkel]

I don't know what people here were expecting. After ME3 and DA2 Bioware doesn't give a fuck anymore about proper RPG mechanics or even dialog.
It needs to look pretty, it needs to have viseral combat, it needs to have lot of shitty dialog, meaningless, stupid choices and fisting.
With that they will sell shit ton of coppies.

 

[Roguey]

Hard to determine ~quality~ from an E3 presentation that jumps around a lot and is likely using the easiest difficulty setting for presentation purposes.

This is another DA2.

This is absurd hyperbole. That looked like a game made in 11 months, this doesn't.

 

[Infinitron]

Roguey It does look like an action-RPG though...including body-swapping between party members KOTOR-style, just like that thing Infinitron was talking about.

 

[Excidium]

Have they showed char gen?

That's how it worked in DA:O-in-third-person-mode and DA2.

It looked like slower DA2-style combat to me.

 

[kris]

we dragons dogma now

Had to comment. They are shooting fire at a fire dragon.

 

[Delterius]

Humans are highly resistant to water attacks. In fact they cant even drown.

 

[kris]

But, that is fantasy; it is fantastical.

You say this like it is true and means "anything goes". Things you talk about could be explained or just as likely is due to lack of knowledge. (their lack of knowledge)
