Dragon Age: Inquisition has gone gold

Anyone have any info on the Tempest? Besides Knight Enhancer, that is the other job that really interests me since it sounds like it will have some interesting abilities.
 
those archer passive skills is what i wanted in an RPG since forever.

Yeah, Pincushion + Death from above is a the most damage boost I've seen in a tree.

Or First Blood + Devestating shot to initiate combat.

Though from what I've seen in the weapon screens on streams, bows appear to have generally lower base dps,
 
A friend of mine has been working on collecting screen shots of the Inquisitor's skill trees. Everything is nearly complete save for the specializations.

Anyway, if you want to look at the skill trees without pausing vids, here you go.

Edit: Whoops, didn't realize this was shared already.
 
Tank - Archer - Mage - Mage

One of those mages will be my Inq as a Knight Enchanter, so the melee/ranged split will be even.

Or Mage - Mage - Mage - Mage when I'm feeling trolololly.

Haha, this was exactly what I was going to do as well. My only indecision is whether or not to make the Warrior a "real" tank on my first playthrough, or just a high DPS fighter with one or two emergency tanking skills. Those almost always outperform the traditional tank builds in the DA games. Not sure if that will remain true in this though.
 

Does anyone else's choices not carry into the Keep? It seems to have defaulted every major quest for me, like (spoilers for DAO)
sacrificing myself at the end, although I remember letting Loghain do the killing blow
, and minor quests seems to have been ignored completely. Pretty annoying, since I don't remember half of these quests at all, let alone the choices I made.

Also, I wonder if my HD 6950 2GB will be able to run this. I'm planning on doing a major upgrade early next year, but I really want to play this at release. What kind of performance can I expect? I have an overclocked i5 2500K and 8GB RAM.

You can't import your choices into the keep unfortunately. They really should make that much clearer.

The syncing process doesn't actually import any choices, just the Warden/Hawke's custom avatar and their name. I think it's a technological barrier because the plot flags weren't uploaded.

Everyone still needs to manually set every choice for both games. They do give you some context to try to remember. and there's always the Wiki with more story details.

Ah, I took for granted that it'd include those. Well, at least it sums up the major plotline of the games. I had forgotten a big chunk of DA2's story. The Keep's pretty cool.
 
Bannable or safe? Would save me alot of money, but dont want to lose all my other Origin-games.

I took the time to read through the Sales Terms; It appears that you'd be financially liable for the correct tax rates if discovered but it does not mention any suspension or cancellation of your account in that instance.
 
Never played a game in this series and I've been vagely following this. Will buy day one. But a few questions; How is the leveling up in this game? Do enemies scale with you in areas? Do only your active companions level up with you?

Enemies don't level with you ie if you stumble into a group of stronger enemies prepare for a whooping, then return later to face the challenge when you are ready.

Yes your companions do level up with you.

That's great news. So I take it that the companions that are not in your active party do not level up?

They should also level up. When you find new companions they'll be at whatever level everyone else is, but you can obviously respec them.

(At least, they have in every other Bioware game that I've played, and I haven't heard otherwise for Inquisition)
 
Uffff, 2 more days to embargo lifts. I have a feeling we're going to get Metacritic of at least 84.

Man, work is dragging today :(

idk if I'm allowed to say this but: The amount of content in Dragon Age: Inquisition is downright terrifying. @pkollar

It is known :)
Care to share more? ..if you can of course.

My main concern with that is that some quests were described as MMO-tier on the PC Gamer hand on (kill 10 rats etc). I'm wondering how prevalent that stuff is.
 
I would like some advice. I have the PS4 version pre-ordered but I was thinking on maybe cancelling the pre-order and go for the PC version instead.

Intel Core i7 CPU 870 @ 2.93GHz 2.93GHz
4GB RAM
GeForce GTX 460

If these only meets minimum requirements, then I will go for the the PS4 version.

But then if game really is 50 to 100 hours long / playthrough it's destined to have your more cliche MMO quests like rat killing.

Sorry I can't hear you, friendly fire was on and I just nuked you and all the enemies from orbit like a boss.

You take pride in killing your teammates? No wonder no one wants to play with you at same sandbox x)

Check out http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ as it should give you decent idea about how your specs meet minimum and recommended. Your PC seems to be mix of minimum and recommended when looking by glance so running High / Ultra most likely is out of question.
 
I suggest playing Dragon Age II on normal actually. Maybe I was not just very good at it, but towards the end the waves of enemies became a chore to get through on Hard, especially in the quests with demons enemies. The battles keep going FOREVER, one wave after another. I became fed up at the beginning of Act 3 and turned it down to normal.

I had no problem with Origins hard mode, actually I kind of destroyed the base game, and Awakening was even easier. But the waves really ruined the combat for me in 2.

Im ok with these types of quests, as long as they have meaningful context ie the main story for that region or the over arching story.

Thanks, I think I will stick with the PS4 version.
 
Yeah, I spent like six hours in a desert yesterday. Remember those desert pics I linked earlier? That was only from 1 desert zone. The one I did yesterday was probably the biggest. It felt like a real desert just because it was so huge and difficult to find stuff.
 
I really want the Steelbook for this game but I also don't want to shell out 170 bucks for the Inquisitor Edition since all the extras are basically junk.
 
Pre-ordered PS4 version as was on for a good deal, a game like this I would usually reserve for PC, but I sold my current rig.

Was planning to build a new one for when Witcher 3 comes out. Hopefully by then we will have some full fat Maxwell based cards and AMDs competition out by then. Temptation is strong though to do an SLI 970 rig :)

1st post yay !!

That reminds me of Divinity 2, and I don't actually like that in practice.

I'm never touching the multiplayer tho. That can go and I wouldn't miss it.
