If you aren't rolling a mage in Dragon Age you're doing it wrong.
Wait that makes no sense. What is freedom but self-governance?
I'm saying that Mages shouldn't be holed up, but allowed to be a regular part of society.

So the review embargo's up well before release.
Dat confidence.

But they shouldn't be allowed roles of governance, so second class. That's not freedom. Thats all I'm saying.

Aw yiss. My body is ready.
Lookin' forward to your OT, Shinobi. Shit's gonna be magical.

Oh no they can do that, I just mean they shouldn't be allowed to make a new Tevinter.

So you put a cap on how many of them can govern then, or which roles they can fill. Still second class.
I should stop before I turn this into a debate on what freedom means in a society where we inherently surrender some (or a lot) of it to not have chaos. But I do like that thats one of the big questions this series asks.

Nah there's no cap, I just mean creating a society where everyone ELSE is second class.

Or be mind controlled with blood magic into voting for me.
Its a messed up world, no easy answer. Freedom is probably an impossibility in it. Actually the way I define the word, I know it is, because its even impossible in real life short of being a hermit. If I was a mage in DAs world, thats what I would do. End up like that dude in Origins that lived in a stump. I wouldn't steal from rhyming trees though, they would be my only friends.
Everyone who isn't part of the ruling class is second class though. Once mages held a majority of the power, bam its Tevinter. Well, without the literal slavery at least. (I can keep going foreeever)
Thanks man, hope I deliver!
Did you notice this?

The renders could serve for the OT.

Glad this unlocks 12AM EASTERN time. I'm hoping Bioware releases the skill trees early so we (or maybe better said I) can start planning builds and examining skills.

Mind control is one of the Mages' powers. I don't think in a civil society you can have people who are capable of mind control in any position of power. This is why the circle and templar supervision is absolutely necessary.

They missed a huge opportunity there by not including Bodahn and Sandal (C3PO and R2D2).
Hey guys should I be worried?
Got in on the second chance of getting the Inquisitor Edition off gamestop.com, and was in a hurry and used Paypal as the payment method. My Paypal listed the money deducted, but it never did come off the credit card when I checked my info on it. I look again today (since it's going to be shipped to retailers soon and all) and it's not even on my Paypal account anymore :/ I thought Paypal always charged immediately, no matter what pre-order it is?
My status is still "open" on the website, but I am worried that it's an "uh oh" in the system :/ Anyone else have anything similar happen with Paypal and/or GS online?
EDIT: Looks like they might have screwed up my billing address. Unless that doesn't matter since it's still via Paypal? Should contact CS anyways...

Mages need to be free!

Prediction time: 93 in Metacritic.
I'm gonna guess an 89.
Though I would be delighted to be wrong and for you to be correct!

Fuck. Starting to wish I would have chosen this over Unity for my November game!
Just not sure if I'd like the combat

Hollywood, my Qunari Templar Inquisitor, is going to eradicate your kind from the face of Thedas.
I mean, jesus christ.
Do what you will, I will make sure that Mages will allowed to be free and live life the way they want to!
COME AT ME BRO
I was in the same sort of predicament. In the end the EA Access discount tipped me to go with Dragon Age. December shall bring me Unity.

When is the game available for EA Access subscribers? Curious since I have a PS4 and my PC isn't powerful enough to run it.

Ashodin is baiting you, there's a elemental trap on the ground in front of him. He think you to be a dumb brute.
I just realized, Qunari Templar sounds good.
I don't need that shit, Arcane Warrior/Knight Enchanter for life

You know not your regret.
I would be shocked if it was higher than 89. I'm expecting 83-85, and this is coming from someone who has already preordered two copies.
There was a good deal on Green Man, I couldn't resist!

I think I missed that one, do you have a link?

Around 2:28:00, though actual coverage starts more around 32 minute mark.

so I've had this preordered for a year. I've never played a DA game before, is this a good one to start with ?

Thanks

DAO and DA2 still hold up, but yeah there's nothing wrong with starting out with DAI if that's what you want to do.

I'd be surprised at a Meta score in the 90's as well. I'll guess 87, making it the highest rated major PS4/XB1 release of the year.

Is there any footage or info on the skill trees yet? I haven't played a dragon age in a while and can't remember how the skill trees worked
I'm not sure about the early access part of it, but the preorder is up now with a 10% discount (I'm in Canada, so I bought it for $62.99 rather than $69.99). All downloaded and ready to go!
Edit: Just checked, EA Access members get it five days early apparently. But Bioware has been cagey if it's the full game five days early or not.

Yes, yes, I am wearing battlemage gear and putting Cass in templar gear and we will be known as "Not Rhys and Evangeline."

I'm expecting 2 ploids out of 1. Ploid is a sucker for party based rpgs and he's been hungry for the next one, playing old party games as he wait. He's going to over score that bugger, unless the story hold the gameplay and killing back. If multiplayer is crack though, he may find another ploid point somewhere.
