Didnt they say that the game should be more like a combination of the first and second one? If this is the thing then they have made a totally 180 from what DA was before. This looks more like a mix of Fable/DA2.

Quite the opposite, pretty much everything they said so far seems to hint the game is trending even more toward "pure action".

I like the sound of story a bit, but with each installment my grey warden and his organization feels more and more insignificant

Looks and sounds great. Loved 1, didn't even bother with 2 after all the negative reviews .. but I give everything a chance on its own. I'm just hoping it lives up to the hype.
And I'm glad it wasn't L4D3, I'll actually read this article.

Burgeoning interest quickly destroyed...
I thought Dragon Age 2 was a good (not great) game with some noticable problems. Fantastic thing, DAI will be on current-gen, since I'm not planning to buy a new console right away (Might have updated my PC til then though *fingerscrossed*)
I have no real opinion on "Choosing the race", it depends. But if this way more people who hate BioWare after DA2 will listen, its a good thing!

Saw the scans
Yep, definitely a step up in how it looked
Saw a companion that seemed to appear as a mage, but can't really tell what race it is. Might be qunari
edit: Definitely Qunari companion. Holy shit Morrigan looks awesome

I'm at work so I can only give a super shallow write-up, and will let someone with more time do a full write-up for a new thread, but:
-At least three playable races (female/male of humans/dwarves/elves). They're considering Qunari.
-Same three classes.
-Instead of just your characters growing, you also grow your inquisition army through lots of various methods ranging from doing favors, blackmail, finding ancient lore, getting ancient relics, obtaining secrets, making connections, etc, etc. An example of how this helps you is that say a castle turns you away. If you only have a few people, you might just be turned away. However, if your inquisition is an army, you can just siege the castle to get inside.
-"Question: Is there multiplayer in this game?" "BioWare: Boy we really loved Mass Effect 3's multiplayer. They just knocked it out of the park."
-The world is split up into parts across multiple countries, but they're large and explorable. Instead of progress being gated by how many of the missions you've completed, you are gated by the power of your inquisition. So, you have to go explore across all these areas and find ways to increase the power of your inquisition. Basically think of like DA2's first act where you had to amass a ton of gold, but on a much larger/broader scale with a lot more choice/variety in what you do, and that the entire game works like that. Also, the inquisition buffing stuff doesn't overlap with your character growth mechanics like gold did, so you don't have to avoid buffing yourself to save your cash. Their goal is that ultimately you can do the types of content you like and explore the places you like and still finish the game.
-They want to increase the variety of things you do. Think of your traditional kind of open world game where you have all sorts of various quest option types.
-The map spans from Eastern Ferelden to Western Orlais. "Each of the areas we're building is bigger than anything we've done before."
-The zones are all traditional open world zones where it's large open and there's interesting stuff scattered all around that can start quests or open a new side dungeon, etc, etc.
-You can run into random monsters in the wild and have a mount to help go through the giant open areas. There's a lot more environmental variety.
-Okay in summary if you've played Skyrim you know how this open world works.
-Environmental interaction is a notable focus. Mages can repair bridges, if you find an abandoned fort you can turn it into an inquisition base, and things like that.
-The PC version's controls will be tailored to the PC unlike DA2.

Still, I'll put mine here:

I love Pokken!
It is just me or this Inquisition order works just like the Spectres from ME?
Also, there was any mention if Hawke and the Warden will play some role in the story?

I really really like the idea of playing as the one responsible of rebuilding the Grey Wardens.
Visuals seem to be pretty nice too. My problem is that Bioware has been on a downward spiral since Mass Effect 2.
(Blah bla blah they have been on a downward spiral ever since Baldurs Gate 2 etc)

Not Grey Wardens. Inquisition. Totally different organization.
Taking a guess, but get used to "Inquisitor".

Not really impressed graphically, I'd say TW3 is another league. ¯\_(ツ
I think the visuals are fantastic. Keep in mind this is also a cross-gen game. They can't really take complete advantage of Frostbite 3.

Can't wait to read about it looks great might be the first Dragon Age I buy.

FUCK, i'm getting hyped for this ;(
I'm not too impressed to be honest. Will need to see a solid gameplay video before I make a judgement. Bioware needs to prove it can do DA right after the second one.
