Dragon Age: Inquisition has gone gold

From Mark Darrah, Dragon Age Executive Producer:

I’m excited to announce that Dragon Age: Inquisition has gone gold on all platforms! This milestone is a testament to the hard work of the developers (and their families!) who put so much into this game, and took on every challenge that was put before them. That we’ve made it this far is also an acknowledgment of tremendous support and patience from our fans: you’ve been an inspiration to us since the beginning.

We started working on this game in earnest more than four years ago, before we’d even finished Dragon Age II. Back then, our goal was simple: do whatever we had to in order to tell the biggest story we’d ever told in the Dragon Age universe. Achieving that meant leaving no stone unturned – from adopting a new engine in Frostbite 3, to reimagining combat so it could blend tactics and action better than ever. It meant bringing back playable races in addition to gender choice, to work in conjunction with the biggest and deepest character creator we’ve ever built. It meant building a beautiful and detailed online platform to ensure your decisions from the previous games carried over. But most importantly, it meant crafting a story that put you in the role of a leader, with the biggest supporting cast we’ve ever had, made up of both new and returning characters.

These are characters who can challenge you, support you, fall in love with you, and maybe even betray you over the course of hundreds of hours of playing. Perhaps you’ll do the same with them. Looking over the vastness of the game we’ve finished, it really is the Dragon Age experience we’ve always wanted to make for you.

The biggest story of the year is yours to play, very, very soon. Thank you.

Mark

Can't wait! Again I'm a little bummed for such a vast RPG and whatnot that the contents of the case is barebones..I mean no manual?

Like you said very few games have booklets these days but I had expected more for Dragon Age like a map showing the world map in the game ala War Table.

Interesting that they got the PS4 version and not XB1.

2 1/2 weeks left!

I believe that reviewers are generally allowed to select which version of the game they want. That's unless you have odd situations like Bethesda telling people that they were going to get the PS3 Skyrim only to then get the 360 version.
 
So excited for this, definitely my most anticipated game of the year. Can't wait to delve into it, hoping that it turns out great.
 
Fuck it, I'm hyped as hell. I've got my expectations set sky high and given that EA has allowed Bioware a longer development cycle only compounds that. LET'S DO THIS!...uh, in a few weeks.

Always thought publisher just sent them the version that has the marketing deal.

I have no knowledge in this, but i would make the assumption the publisher would send the console version that shows the game in the best light.
 
Hype!

I'm really looking forward to this. All the streams and press this game has been given over the last month or so has really pushed this game to the top of my most anticipated list this holiday. Hopefully it delivers.

Please explain the hype behind this game. How does this thread exude hype AND worry at the same time? The two should be mutually exclusive.

Some of you don't know if the game is going to be any good at all... yet you're still excited?

I have no stake in this at all, but the emotions in this thread are interesting to me from a purely academic standpoint. Mainly because i've never gotten excited for a game that I wasn't SURE would be a good game (based on the developer's previous track record being good).
 
OH GODDDDDDDDD PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I NEED IT

Nov 14 I can preloaaaaaaaaaaaad

@georly: a TON of people not even following the game because of DA2 bad taste in their mouths, a real fucking shame imo, this game is going to own face.

DAO was amazing. DA2 sucked. Hence my comment.
 
SO EXCITED.

I tried, I really did try to remain cautiously optimistic.
I loved DA:O, played through it multiple times. That being said, I played DA2 once and was done. The game wasn't the abomination that many believe it to be, it just failed to live up to the first one I felt.

However....DA:Inq looks amazing and I cannot freaking wait!
 
No confidence at all in the game. Everything I've seen (which hasn't been much, thankfully) has been terrible. The Dragon Age expansion was terrible. Dragon Age 2 was terrible. Mass Effect turned terrible. Everything BioWare has started since EA bought them has been progressively worse. Is Inquisition going to break the trend? Yeah, doubt it.

Right. I played both. After DA2 there's no way I could get hyped for a 3rd game. It falls into the category of 'wait and see.'

Is it just hope? Hope to a return to glory days?

I'm excited about lots of stuff that I don't know will be good or not. Sometimes it pans out. Sometimes it doesn't. Them's the breaks.
 
Dragon age 3 [OT] Dragon Age 2 did nothing wrong!


That's probably too meta. Man, I hate hearing about games going gold. It makes the wait excruciating.
