[SerRodrik]

Not going to bother with this one until it's been out for months and I can get a read on word of mouth. Bioware's gonna have a hard time winning me back after their last few games.

A year ago I would have had to fervently hope for this to somehow turn out well and be a return to form. Now I'll be able to play Project Eternity and Torment around the same time this is released, and can be more objective about it.

Also this. The role the Dragon Age franchise previously filled is now being occupied by these, and seemingly more effectively.

 

[Kayhan]

Will isometric be back?

 

[Patryn]

did you play DA2 on console on easy?

gameplay in DA:O and DA2 are practically identical, completely based on tactical combat. and I am quite sure inquisiton will have the same

Not really. For two major things, friendly fire was on on Nightmare difficulty in DA2, and the wave combat system and more specifically how waves spawned led to little to no emphasis on tactical positioning because you had no idea where enemies would spawn, including places where no logical enemies could come from.

 

[Subitai]

Probably getting for PC master race unless PS4 has some goodies to make it look better.

 

[soundscream]

Morrigan stole my seed and than ran off to the woods :'(

If it's more like 1 I'll get into it.

I think we both talked about that in the latest LTTP topic, these issues are true, but can hardly be called "major things".
implenetation was lazy in DA:O and even lazier in DA2, I admit, but still, the combat is practically the same, especially on harder difficulties.

DA2 has lots of problems, combat isnt among them, if you liked combat in origins.

 

[Hedja]

Original character do not steal.

 

[Kinyou]

Can't resist Morrigan

Did you not play the Witch hunt DLC?

 

[dream431ca]

Dragon Age is the most incoherent game trilogy in history:

DA1: Massive RPG, tactical combat

DA2: Hack and Slash RPG

DA3: Looks like an open world RPG.

Wow.

Fair enough. I have no problem agreeing to disagree.

 

[empressdonna]

so glad to hear old cast are back (morrigan! woo!) but I'll be watching from the distance in case as I was excited for DA2 and it let me down

 

[Trigger]

Original character do not steal.

Morrigan and Lulu couldn't be more different.

 

[Hedja]

Morrigan and Lulu couldn't be more different.

It was a joke on character design, not personality.

No did I miss something?

The wave spawning and design for no friendly fire completely and utterly broke tactical positioning in DA2. I could think of few things that are more major issues for a tactical, party based RPG. It was a bad game even if you completely ignore the ridiculous levels of asset reuse.

 

[Patryn]

No did I miss something?

It's all about Morrigan, and shows your Grey Warden catching up to her.

 

[Kinyou]

No did I miss something?

Well it kind of finishes the Morrigan story. Not really worth for the gameplay though. I guess you could just youtube it.

 

[Seda]

Better quality trailer

[Subitai]

Depends on your decision when you meet her.

You also missed out on some nice unlockable weapons/items for replay-throughs.

 

[commanderpepper]

At least Morrigan looks good.

 

[Lord Phol]

gameplay in DA:O and DA2 are practically identical, completely based on tactical combat. and I am quite sure inquisiton will have the same

What? DA2 is basically a crappy "press A button for awesome!" buttom smaher while DA:O is more of a traditional isometric RPG.

 

[Trigger]

oh

At least Morrigan looks good.

Her face looked off to me.

 

[Mugaaz]

Dragon Age is the most incoherent game trilogy in history:

DA3: Looks like an open world RPG.

Wow.

DA2 was not hack and slash, what the hell?

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Didn't excite me. Also, Morrigan looks like she's wearing wax lips.

 

[Moff]

The wave spawning and design for no friendly fire completely and utterly broke tactical positioning in DA2. .

ridicoulusly exagerrated.
DA:O had the same issues, although I admit they were even lazier in DA2, which ultimately led to more trial and error (while DA:O was already a trial&error heavy game), but I still had to heavily utilise tactical postitioning, mages die instantly when they or the tank are positioned wrong. DA2 does not work witthout it, except maybe on the console easy mode where you only have to spam the attack button.

console easy mode, then

 

[cpp_is_king]

I was really hoping to be wowed by this trailer, but... no. And morrigan looked anorexic and her lip movement was just terrible, not even close to realistic.

 

[ironcreed]

Looks alright. Can't wait to see some gameplay.

 

[Yoda]

Looked terrible. CGI trash.

 

[DC1]

Such a lackluster trailer.

Man... I'm hoping that have new writers. It looks like a cartoon.

 

[Xamdou]

Dragon Age Inquisition is the game I've been waiting for! Faith in EA restored a bit even though they didn't announce a Mass Effect or Kotor 3.

 

[commanderpepper]

oh



Her face looked off to me.

It looks to me that she's become older.

 

[commanderpepper]

[Mustainium]

Varric ensures this will be Day 1 for me.

 

[diamount]

Looking forward to it. Also the comments about CG lol, it's in-engine.. jesus this forum sometimes.

 

[hemtae]

Going against Project Eternity and Torment doesn't seem wise to me but giving it more development time does so meh

 

[Duane Cunningham]

I'm on board. I've been keeping up with the novels and comics, so I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

 

[Deified Data]

The ending where

Spoiler

Morrigan has a child with your Warden

is probably going to be retconned to be canon.

 

[Moaradin]

LOL at people saying the trailer is CG. I guess it looks good if so many think it's CG?

 

[DC1]

Will isometric be back?

I don't know. I just feel bad for them.
Their core fan base happens to be 'not on the Xbox One'. EA didn't market Fuse; Here's to MS doing their part.. Post money hat.

EDIT:
I thought you typed Insomniac (maybe you did).

 

[Demon Lizardman]

This is all I have to say

 

[hateradio]

I'm cautiously optimistic. Apparently the game is barely going into production, so I hope the end result is better.

Also green ending, damn it BioWare!

 

[Xamdou]

It's using the Frostbite 3 engine right? Freakin awesome news if it is!

 

[Patryn]

Just realized that it's no longer officially Dragon Age 3: Inquisition. It's just DA:I.

Interesting. Another step back from DA2?

 

[Trigger]

Going against Project Eternity and Torment doesn't seem wise to me but giving it more development time does so meh

Do the two even appeal to the same audience anymore? The overlap between them has probably decreased.

 

[Animator]

This looked like utter shit. Give me witcher 3.

 

[KKRT00]

Its actually pretty amazing that some people think that was CG trailer.
Definitely in-engine with game assets and looks gorgeous, i'm excited.

 

[Terra_Ex]

Morrigan seems to be the bait to bring in the DA:O fans

Ain't gonna bite

Literally the first thing that popped into my mind. Beyond that the trailer showed nothing of value. Surprised at the release date though, would love to see this go up against The Witcher 3. And in the unlikely event this turns out well we can rest assured that EA will turn DA4 into a cash grab though, thus restoring the balance.

Dragon Age Inquisition Trailer (PC/PS4/XBO/360/PS3, Fall 2014, Open World)

PS3? X360? where?

 

[Nirolak]

PS3? X360? where?

Their Twitter, but GAF keeps dying before I can update.

I'll try again after Ubisoft's conference.

 

[poisonelf]

Will isometric be back?

That's all I care about. With the same tactical combat and no awesomely somesaulting enemies spawning from nothing.
