It's a Bioware game.

It downloads what's necessary for you to start playing first (DLC, update file, and 5.3 GBs) and then installs it. The rest of the game is downloaded in the background. Go to the game on your menu, press start and check on "information". It'll tell you how many gigs it has downloaded there. I'm 10.3 GBs in.
that's like tag material right there.
I second this motion.
Oh, is that how it works? I did not know that.
It could be worse; we could be in a Sonic thread.

I mean don't quote me on it, but Destiny did a similar thing. It downloaded a portion of it and the rest was via the background.
We already know PS4 can download a portion of the game and let you play. So I see little other reason as to why it separated 5.3 GBs beforehand and then downloads the rest in the background

Does DA on pc have a strong mod community? Debating between ps4 or pc, mods will probably be the deciding factor.

Obviously this is the price we pay for the new OT rules.

I assume it's going to be hard thanks to Frostbite and a lack of mod tools.
The end is nigh.

From what I've heard, due to the engine, mods are going to be very difficult. I'm not positive on this though.
I wouldn't expect many mods for DA:I unless someone is really determined.
And even then you'll most likely end up with a white Vivienne mod made to piss people off.
Aha, thanks. On 10.5GBs.
I was worried I'd go to play it on Tuesday and would get a message saying "hah lolz u haz 39GBs to dwnlode" but if it just needs those files to launch then all good. Didn't realise it did the rest as a background download.

well they can't really do anything about it due to release dates. That is meant more for people with slower connections and those who start downloading like the night before or anytime after so they can start playing ASAP

He just said out loud what everyone thought.
Since my lady Hawke was already a dual-wielding rogue, she had no place in my party. Thusly I
told her to give the book back to the Qunari even if it meant her life, and she ran off forever.
Somebody went wrong on his way to the Bioware forums.
DLC?

I'm not sure but I think it might be the masterpiece, Wolf Children ( http://myanimelist.net/anime/12355/Ookami_Kodomo_no_Ame_to_Yuki ) same guy who made the MMORPG animation (Summer Wars) and Girl Who Leapt Through Time. One of the few directors who can touch Hayao Miyazaki.

I'm planning a female Qunari mage with skills from the Spirit/Winter trees and the Knight Enchanter specialization. She will definitely be in a romance with Sera.

Maybe she's still hung up on your original DA:O character?

Cullen is!
Because The Warden is either alive and she doesn't want to cheat on them or The Warden is dead and she's content with being single widow.
Or maybe, just maybe she doesn't want a relationship with anyone right now.
That doesn't look bad at all.

I have been seeing images and videos of the 360 and PS3 version (which, I dare to say, are identical) and, sigh, I wish the game did not use Origin and got rid of denuvo on PC (even the character creator has less content -like scars- on past-gen consoles). I do want to play it on that platform (and I built a gaming PC for this kind of games!), but I am against EA policies and Origin.
Also, my savedata on 360 are useless...
Sigh, I feel conflicted.
There may be fewer individual notches on the scar slider, I don't know, but with the positioning capabilities in Inquisition, I'm happy with them. You can move them in four directions and they slide around face contours. It's awesome.

Someone should mod the game and make her a romance option.

I'll be playing as a mage. They've always had the most interesting skill trees to me, so it's a pretty easy choice. Not sure if I'll do Knight Enchanter or Rift Mage yet. Knight Enchanter seems a bit more fun, but Rift Mage sounds really fitting for the Inquisitor.
I'll probably romance Cassandra. She looks really cool.

I personally am glad she can't be. Don't need a bunch of people getting all gross with my Warden's partner.
That reminds me that I completely missed Leliana on my first Origins playthrough. Only found out that she existed after I read her name online and wondered who she is. I still don't really know how that happened since I'm usually extremely thorough while exploring.
Uh you know theres this thing called a release day?

Preloading now! Trying hard to stay away from streams but from what I can tell the IQ is pretty good.
Downloading @ 2.2MB/s so max speeds.
