Dragon Age: Inquisition Pre-Release Thread

You give to much shit about jumping, who wants to jump anyway. How long ago have you jumped in real life? Last time i make a jump was in august.
Screw the jumping.

Maybe some of us want to jump onto the iron bull.

People here complaining about having more freedom to move, just because its bioware. Fucking codex.

Did you could jump in Torment, Fallout, Icewind dale, baldur's gate, Jagged Alliance, X-com ?

I could destroy walls and fences in X-COM and Jagged Alliance... is this counts? Well thanks to Codex I will spare my Broadband, time and eyes pirating this flips flopping dwarves simulator as thanks to SJW pandering it won't even have Lulz older Biowhore games had.

So this time around, ole' Manjaw is the only romance option for normal guys. I can only guess what Bioware is trying to achieve with the bro demographic by forcefully shoving an androgynous female in their faces.

Or maybe the fedora tippers finally got strong, independent womyn that they've been begging for on the forums while secretly hoping for a new incarnation of Isabela.

"Once the shine had worn off though, disappointment began setting in."
"The role-playing too, pretty as it is, didn't feel like BioWare. There are straight up MMO style quests, like collecting 10 bits of meat, which at least make sense in context - that you're helping refugees and refugees need food. Others, however, are thrown in with no finesse whatsoever."
"(H)ome of some of the dodgiest accents this side of 'Allo 'Allo."
"The big threat is boring, and it's hard to take everyone seriously when they rattle on about its urgency."
"None of this is remotely deep or strategic. When asked if a situation calls for diplomacy, spies or military strength, any of them will work and few require any more effort on your part than actively not declaring "Zhu Li, do the thing!" at an unlistening monitor."
"Most stories and decisions just provide trinkets or Dragon Age's equivalent of Mass Effect 3's War Assets, though others can unlock their own stories and decisions further down the story."
"Combat tries to offer a similar compromise, though it's not entirely successful."
"There were many exciting battles on the main story, but none I could say were tactically very interesting, and none of them against one of the oddly unimaginative damage-sponge bosses, with Rift clean-up detail especially wearing out its welcome. Like the equally boring Oblivion gates, every one is basically the same - deal with a couple of demon waves, don't stand on exploding ground, close rift. Yawn."
"At times though, it can still be oddly... not bland as such, but definitely flatter than it should be, with an odd reluctance to follow through on anything that might create a sense of vulnerability or ambiguity."
"Here, everything remains insular, confined to its own bit of the story rather than being intertwined and paying off when you least expect it. At least, unless I was just unlucky."
8/10

8/10? Wtf just happened there?
Also this: "How beautiful does everything look turned up to full? Enough that I put this review on hold for a day so that I could get a GeForce 970 to replace my old 660. It was clear it deserved nothing less."
Completely meaningless score AND product placement. Itz a cockslap in the face.

This one is in Kraut, but they lament that DA:I lost the "fantasy" aspect of DA:O and that it has become too political. It's also unmissable that Bioware tried to hook onto Ubisoft Montreal's and Bethesda's success, in the process diluting the whole experience. Big world and countless sidequests. Characters no longer feel like family, they're now mere assets. Also, they hate the clean look and unsatisfactory combat.

Wow, that is a solid, oldskool review. Took me some time, since German is not even my second language, but worth while.

Apparently and as expected bioware fucked up royally in several major areas. Stupid consoletardization making menus, moving about and the combat tac view when using a mouse and keyboard something the real inquisition would have used on heretics which were considered too evil to burn alive. Also tac view is almost never needed so basically useless. Main campaign is 50 hours tops, the rest is fedexing the world until your fingers fall of because of rsi thanks to the control schemes. The final killer, apparently skyrim is considered more dynamic. I cant see this ever selling skyrim numbers, 15-20 million. If would be funny if it totally bombs.

I don't really think this will do better than Skyrim, mostly because Bio's usual lgbt friendly stuff. Keep in mind how big Skyrim is among dudebros.
Edit: is that a vanilla screenshot? It seems Bioware finally understood how people have sex

Her neck is enough to tell that it is a legimate Bioware shot.

Man or woman?

So that's what Bioware fans masturbate to

 

[Mystary!]

there are no attribute points?

There are, but you dont allocate them yourself, attributes are raised automatically as you level up. Appearently some of the abilities and spells offer passive increases thou.

There are attributes but you dont allocate them yourself, they are raised automatically as you level up. Appearently some of the ablities and spells offer passive increases thou.

You can raise your attribute by choosing specific abilities or by equiping armor/weapons/rings that gives you bonuses to stats. You can also craft shit and put runes in it to raise your attributes even higher.

 

[Abu Antar]

I'm glad there's a jump button. If the game sucks, maybe I can manage to jump off a high cliff. The again, there is no hardcore mode.

 

[Jedi Exile]

Wow, bare tits in a BioWare game. It finally happened. Do they fear competition from CD Project?

 

[J_C]

, the threat is basically Oblivion's gates recoloured green, and that the villain of the piece is referred to as "The Elder One", as if the entire writing team had just thrown their hands up in defeat.

It makes me laugh to picture this scene. As Gaider and Co says, fuck it, just go with the most cliched origin story you can find.

Ok, but seriously, fuck this Eurogamer review. The writer is complaining about the game for the whole time, and yet he gives a 8/10 at the end. It is clear that the guy doesn't have the balls to give a lower score. This is mirroring the whole industry, where the big games are automatically given a high score. Except if your are the unlucky one, who becomes the punching bag, and it will be the cool thing to hate you.

Nobody reads reviews, they only look at the score. Next week on Reddit: HO MY GOD, I'M NEVER PREORDERING A GAME AGAIN: Dragon Age 3 Edition.

[dryan]

How can Bioware betray its wymyn customers and provide such blatant objectifying scenes that cater to the male gaze?
