Anyone know what the download size of this game is? I may have to go digital with it, and am running out of room on my harddrive and bandwidth on my cap.
~40gig consoles, ~20gig PC
It's around 24GB IIRC.

Thanks
I was able to find it just now. It says 41gb. Man, I wish games weren't so big.

They definitely did. It's unfortunate that many gave up on the series after DA2, while understandable, Bioware did the best they could in that timeframe. From a few private convos, the publisher had a deadline in place, it wasn't up to Bioware of course.
Inquisition's been in development since before Dragon Age 2 even shipped, and the delay from 2013 to 2014 was due in no small part to Bioware heads literally telling and showing EA execs that it just won't be up to snuff to ship. EA gave them all the time they needed as evident by the delays, a blank check metaphorically speaking. Things are really changing inside EA after Andrew Wilson became CEO. The "gamers first" philosophy seems to be translating over well, to the point where he'd rather delay a mega-game (BF Hardline) out of the holiday season for quality.
Wait until you see Mass Effect. EA's giving them all the space they need.

Is this the same for Mirror's Edge and DICE?
Good.
Probably you have to download multiple languages on consoles as mandatory while PC only loads one.

I don't know anything about the development of Mirror's Edge particularly but it's company wide mindset so I'm sure the same goes for it.

I think like 26GB or so. I'm in the same boat as you, I have a single 256GB SSD.
So yeah, I'm glad it isn't like 50GB or so

This makes me so much hyped for Mirror's Edge's "when it's ready"
I'm really liking this new EA

Only thing that I worry is that they put it smack in the middle of the busiest month of the year.
Better question would be: is the BioWare from 2009/10 back?

Also the idea of EA controlling things design-wise isn't correct, at least when it comes to Bioware. Only thing they typically veto is marketing. They got to do more than they ever have when it came to DAI. All the trailers you've seen so far were all by Bioware, not any EA marketing division.

Hehe
Edit: Oh, I see it was already posted!
I want to go into hibernation until 9:00 pm, PST, on the 17th.
So is it?
Tuesday, my friend.
Tuesday!
Yes, I know I'm hyping you guys to death, lol.
Don't forget they even allowed an editor like myself to post screenshots from areas they haven't really shown themselves (well, not completely) yet. First time I was allowed to do this, ever since I started writing in the vidya industry.
Yes, we need to do that. It will be made clearer soon. Apologies for the confusion.
Hnnng... can't wait to see that baby!
And you like it, don't you? Watching us squirm in large amounts of hype while you get to play it!

Considered releasing official tables on class / sub-class skills? I would love to see latest skills, detailed, before diving in so I know what to roll
Sounds like EA learned from DA:2, Mass Effect 3 and Battlefield 4.
Well, EA taking that sort of approach is music to my ears. As they certainly have the talent under their umbrella that deserves the time and money to make games the right way.
At any rate, I have said it before in regards to this game and I will say it again. Redemption draweth nigh for BioWare.
That topic does come up. Speaking personally, one of my favourite times at the studio was the BioWare from 2000 - 2003. The energy was amazing in the studio, because that time spanned MDK2 (first 3D game, first game on a console), BG2 (first sequel, felt like we "knew what we were doing"), NWN (first 3D RPG), and KotOR (first Star Wars game, first with cinematic approach to storytelling), plus the beginnings of Jade Empire (first new IP of our own after Shattered Steel).
Now, we have DAI about to ship and it feels more and more like that time again, to me at least. We have another Mass Effect game in development, new IP cranking along, and we have more new technology than we know what to do with! 2009 - 2010 was great too (I had just taken over as GM for Edmonton), but shipping two games in three months was... interesting...
Just my two cents.

That is extremely awesome to hear. I hope Greg & Ray catch wind of this too as I'm sure as your opinion would make them smile.

Hah, yeah. The reason I brought up 2009/10, was because that was the time Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2 released. Two of my favourite BioWare games (even though I'll always prefer the story of the first Mass Effect).
That said, I completely forgot there were only a few months between DA:O and ME2. That must have been a busy period.

I'm so ready. I've decided that i'm creating Quick Ben from the Malazan books as my lead character this time (I always use characters from books as my MC). Now I just have to hope the game is actually good, but the signs are pointing to it being great.
It would help, but it shouldn't be strictly required.
This. I'm looking to get into this series but never played it, ever. Was gonna do the buy 2 get 1 at Target with this GTAV and LBP3.
They say they've designed it to also be a stepping in point for the franchise, but I'd suggest working through Dragon Age Keep at least to get the gist of the previous stories.
What's the keep? I'd love to do that.
Dragon Age Keep is how you specify the choices you make for the state of the world going into Inquisition (and subsequently import those choices into your game).
This site also provides valuable context for making those decisions that you won't currently find on the Keep site proper.

It's their new service, allows you to create and import save files. There's also a special overview narrated by one of the companions, and a text-based RPG thing on the side. Very cool stuff.
Edit: Beaten badly.
Wow, you have some catching up to do
Lol. Was never really one for role playing games. Looking to change that around this gen.
