I really like it. I'm pretty happy that I could use it to change a slight mistake I made in Origins but didn't feel like fixing in-game after noticing it.
For whatever reason I had Alistair be the one to kill the archdemon, which I guess meant he couldn't be king? So I changed it so that my Warden killed it, and now King Alistair and Queen Warden rule land. <3

Not part of this conversation but ok.
Yes, wanting a company to be rewarded with a bonus on a good product is sad
That animated gif really makes your point
Did you answer the question..."Does Bioware bonuses depend on the metacritic score\/\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'.
I really enjoyed Dragon Age 2 (despite most people hating it). I have always been a big fan of the world in which the games take place, so call me a sucker.
As to your question I don't know if this will help a ton, but I used it to make sure I was getting everything done.

It has all the quests broken down into categories such as "main" "side" and "companion". If you do all the companion and main story missions you should be good to go!

It says on the 16th. I think I've heard people say before that the earliest it's 12 am Pacific. So 2 am central, 3 am eastern. I would assume it's when the PS store updates, which could be like 2 pm pacific. So maybe we won't be able to start preload till midday tomorrow.
JerkShep compiled a list of all Origins, DA2 and DLC quests accounted for in the Keep here.
That doesn't mean they'll have an effect on Inquisition of course, but it does mean that if a quest isn't on there you can safely skip it.
I'd recommend doing all the companion quests whether they are choices in the Keep or not, though. Not spending time with DA2's characters is going to make Kirkwall a much drearier place.

So is there an option in the game to turn on crazy blood splatter like in DA:O? It was always hilarious in cutscenes.
+1 for Merril
All hail the hitler elf Fenris. I enjoyed forcing him into a group of mages.
Is there blood at all in Inquisition? I haven't seen copious amounts of it in gameplay videos.
I saw a stream with it. It didn't seem as prominent as it has been, but I clearly saw the blood splatter.

Man, I *do* want to dive into this game, and it's the only title I'm interested in for the rest of the year... I've only really played LoU on PS4 outside of that, but I really wish I had the EA trial to just erase all doubt.
I may skip the preorder and just read the OT impressions and hype before I finally cave

You know if there is one thing that has been a work in progress for the series it's the Qunari. In DAO they were just really tall bulky humans. In DA2 they all had horns and look more creature like. In DAI they are in the middle, with the horns (you can choose not to have any though), but have a human face once again

Let others be the guinea pigs and get it when it goes on sale.
Think that will happen since it's Christmas/black friday season?
I am in Canada, but I am hoping for some sweet Cyber Monday deal or something.
Hope so. If the PS3 version hit $40 during Thanksgiving weekend, I'd be in.
Might happen closer to xmas time.

So am I understanding right that if I have auto-download on and set that for DAI on PSN, that I can put my PS4 on rest mode and it will start downloading whenever it's available by itself?
Let others be the guinea pigs and get it when it goes on sale.
I think I'm going to do the same. Also, I love this gif.
I'm watching a full playthrough of DA2's Story/Cinematics and my god this is so accurate.
Missing Fenris, though he's so obvious "The Emo twink for anime fangirls"
Though Anders should also be given "annoying" somewhere in his title.
It's too bad the characters are such tropes because the storylines in the game are not bad. I remember a lot of people complaining about the Mages vs Templars thing, but the story lays down the foundation for the conflicts very well. It shouldn't have been surprising how things turned out in that regard given all the undercurrents of illusionary peace in the city and the backstabbing and backdoor deals going on.
Oh missed Isabella too. What would we call her?
As far as I know the DA:I contract hasn't leaked, but it's within the realm of possibility that they have a bonus tied to metacritic because other recent games have. And even if they don't, it's possible that they have a bonus structure dependent on something else potentially affected by metacritic - like sales.
If you don't think MC affects sales at all, I don't know what to tell you. Anecdotal evidence is all we have, but it's pretty much accepted as true that higher scored games attract people who may otherwise not have been interested.
Even if there is no bonus, a high metacritic score is like a virtual hug. We just want to give people who do good work virtual hugs.

Saw this video of an epic fight against a dragon in the Hinterlands.

No point in trying to deal with him. We've seen other big games like destiny and fallout having meta tied bonuses and im sure there are many others as well who just werent made public.

hey, shouldnt Who cares be replaced to gigglesquee?(or is that something everyone just forgets about?)
Just please don't create LTTP topics :/Let others be the guinea pigs and get it when it goes on sale.
Commendable attitude, but it's something we'll never know. I'm positive the developers are proud of their game
I'm wondering the same thing, I swear they said it would be up on Thursday.
It depends, DAI is dialogue heavy and has tactical/action based combat. If those tickle your fancy then yes, do it.
P.S. My EA Access ran out last night, I JUST perfected my Elf Mage and got to looking around Haven and then BAM! EA kicks me out..
Withdrawal is kicking in hard
((Don't know where to post this, so I'll ask it here: the game is not letting me level up my character. The character details section shows locked up. Has anyone run into this?
Keep playing buddy, I think you may in the tutorial section of the game. The inventory and character (level up/skills0 pages will unlock eventually as will party selection.
I think I got past that part already. As a good skill point hoarder, I didn't use the skill point at the time. I'm more than 2 hours into it and still shows locked.
If Iremember correctly the first skill point
is when you close the first fade rift
Yup. Did that already. I think my character is level 4 or 5 already.

If my hero in default world state in dragon age keep is a male, can I change it to female later in the game?
Watching DA2 playthrough
So
I'd have been so frustrated with that plot point.
So
It is pretty much Isabella's fault for the Qunari attack. I can't believe there's no way to get rid of her. I also appreciated the irony of Aveline talking to the Arishok about taking the law into his hands, when that is pretty much all Hawke does

That's why you let the Arishok live, because he's awesome.

You can
turn her over to the Qunari and their leader leaves.
