Dragon Age: Inquisition Pre-Release Thread

Bioware's version doesn't have a helpless lady on it. GAAAAAAAAY.

 

In Bioware's version, YOU (the player) ARE the helpless lady.

 

There's nothing helpless about BioWare's PCs... in fact the Bio-haters on the Codex most often complain (with plenty merit) that Bio's PC's are omnipotent Mary Sue's.

 

This is going to be the biggest disaster of the year. So hype.

 

I meant "the player" as the physical, IRL human being, rather than the PC/avatar. The player is therefore indeed helpless and overwhelmed by Marysue-ism and derpery.

Indeed. Gameplay looks exactly like DA2.

Eagerly waiting for an epic failure from BiowarEA.

It's the Scrappy Dappy Doo of RPG combat mechanics!

 

Eh, no surprises here. After DA2 and ME3, after all those people left Bioware, and after all that SJW pandering I was sure that it will be shit. That's to say, they don't even try to hide it, do they? Like people ITT already have said, both combat animations and combat itself look exactly like they looked in DA2. They must have some top-grade echo chambers at Bioware offices. "LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU IT WOULD BE GOTY 2014 #RIDETHEBULL".

 

Lemme at 'em LEMME AT 'EM! Take That You And That And That!

 

I was just about to post the image.

 

To be fair, with the exception of the "Oblivion Gate" (not the best thing they decided to copy from Betheda) segment, enemies don't lool like they spawn from the thin air in the middle of the fight. So let's respect the standards of awful game design decisions established in the DA2.

 

Oh look, characters now can jump. Well, that's a great new step towards SkyrimWorld of WarcraftNinja gaiden, tactical RPG!

 

FLASHY COLORS ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE DESPERATELY TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT THAT COMBAT IS SHIT OH GOD ITS HEAVAN!!!

Varric doing backflips made me though, they should make that a stand-alone dlc, maybe even as a replacement for story mode: you press the awsum buttan -> spastic combat is automatically skipped -> the dwarf backflips into the next romance scene. Only $19.99

 

It looks absolutely horrendous, and to make matters worse, almost like an exact copy of DA2 combatwise. Even the dungeon brings back bad memories. What a failure in the making.

 

LOL, this is the mighty Frostbite engine? The Witcher 2 leaves it in the dust any time of the day. I can't even imagine how someone could compare it to Witcher 3.

 

The best thing I took away from that video was that the portraits look nice. I like the way they start to look injured at low health. That's surprisingly old school. All the flashy explosions and backflipping dwarves sure are silly though.

To quote broteam: it's an EA game, so the left hand has to hold the orange light.

 

We must uphold high standarts

 

did Chris weigh in on the matter?

 

Fat chance of that I wager.

 

He's evil.

 

He's obesed obsessed with high standards.

 

Lemme at 'em! I'll give them a good dose of puppyfat power! I'll whack 'em an' smash 'em! Scrappy dappy dooooo!

 

Jesus christ, max settings?

Aside from the improved particle effects, the gameplay looks more bogged down than DA2.

Fucking medieval backflips, what the fuck BioWare?
