DA: Inquisition E3 trailer up





Morrigan's back, clearly, though I'm not sure if she's just doing the narration. Varric appears as well, and it looks like the Veil is completely ripped open. So there's that. The talk has been that they're going to make it open world, like Skyrim, which...is interesting. Not sure how that'll work with Bioware's storytelling style, but on the other hand, I logged my 1000th hour in Skyrim last month. I even put it down and came back to it, something I only do with DA2 when I need to confirm a bit of dialogue.

I do wonder if we're going to get some actual resolution to plot threads this time. I don't care if my Warden and Hawke ever show up again--I'd almost rather they just continue on in my completely non-canon reality--but I'd kind of like to know what the hell happened to them, at least. Hopefully with the release date not for more than a year, it won't be the incomprehensible mess that Act III of DA2 turned into.

We are so going to Weisshaupt.

Cautiously optimistic right now.

Same here. I really want to get excited about it, but I can't manage more than "ooooh, looks pretty cool... so far".

At least it looks good enough that I'm comfortable crossing my fingers and looking forward to seeing more gameplay footage :)

I couldn't bear to get invested for the next year and a half and then get smacked in the face with something really egregiously bad. Like, "We had time to make four different humanoid species, but we only made female models for the ones we thought straight dudes would most like to penetrate." Frex. Maybe that bothered other people less than me.

And suddenly Sandal's crazy talk from DA2 is true talk

One day the magic will come back. All of it.
Everyone will be just like they were.
The shadows will part and the skies will open wide.
When he rises, everyone will see.

I'll go with cautiously optimistic as well. I agree, I want to know what the hell happened to my Warden and Hawke. More concerned about my Warden honestly, but they make it sound very important that the two disappear, and if they don't address that, I'll consider it a major continuity flaw. I've read all of the books now (I really wish they had given Gaider a beta or something) and all of the comics. I enjoyed Asunder even if some of the plot points were incredibly manipulated for effect and nothing more substantial. Either way, I love this universe and I cannot wait to play the next installment.

I've been pretty hard on Bioware recently because of the sub par job they have been doing managing and producing their games, but I have to admit that this *does* look awesome :D
