Dragon Age: Inquisition sees return of multiple player races

Casey Hudson said about the endings.

Have them kneel before a demon spirit with these options

Green: You and demons become integrated and meshed into one species

Blue: Control the Demons and become dark lord of the 9 hells

Red: Destroy the demons and everyone you love and multiple castles and dwellings. Elves don't survive.

Seems like pretty good ending choices. Let's roll with it guys

Woo, well that is one thing fixed lol.

In all seriousness though I really hope they make all of this work, I really want this game to be great, DAO is one of my all-time favourite games.

demons falling from the sky... come on... without that the story would be more interesting...

What was unique about the first one was not just selecting the characters race and class but also you start in a different origin when you begin the game I hope they do that too.

The news about the combat are great:

• "Wants to make the action less frantic and more deliberate, returning to more tactics-oriented approach to encounters. Big return to party-based tactics
  


• Part of that is slowing down speed of attacks, more important is designing enemies that force you to examine the battlefield and choose actions carefully
  


• Battles veer away from button mashing toward a structure where observation and reaction take precedence
  


• Instead of swarming enemies, your foes have specialized roles; work together and force you to size up the battlefield
  


• You won’t regularly see waves of new bad guys appearing out of nowhere to extend encounters"
  

I'd usually be optimistic to such news but since it's Bioware, I'm going to be really cautious. No racial option, armor customization, romance, spell or weapon will matter if the story will suck badly, which is Bioware's weak spot today and such event has a high chance of occurance.

"when a hole opens in the sky and demons"... aside from that in-eloquent incentive, I do certainly hope there is as marked a return to the "origins" game-style as possible. I enjoyed the second game. but it never had the effect and impact as the first in the franchise. I'm not 100% sure the effectiveness of a Mount being a game-piece considering how "on rails" most bioware maps tend to be though? regardless, I will stay interested.

more characters like isabelle please.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought part ll sucked. Dragon Age: Origins was a great game though. More of an RPG then part ll was.

Same gameplay as DA2, same camera angle and it still developed for the xbox controller.

Gamespot has no good news this morning

back to par, sry bioware your magic touch for rpgs is dead.... more of stinkfinger now

Awww would you just look at that....people still crying over DA2...yes go on and continue to 'pre-order' your games and buy it day 1 without even taking a glance at the reviews...bunch of blind fools....I always wait for the metacritic and the avg. user score before buying ANY game.....I haven't pre-ordered GTA V,I haven't pre-ordered PS4....I will never pre order any game or buy it day one no matter how good it looks...

Shitty blind folded fanbois.

Does anyone know if character origins will return in this?

By reading:

'In the game, the player will take the role as the head of the Inquisition, an organisation formed to confront evil and corruption in the land of Thedas.'

I'd assume not :(

I still can't get my mind around why they would make a sequel to such a successful game so different from the original. If it's not broke, don't fix it. DA2 had a decent premise in teeing up the holy war (Dammit Anders!), I honestly didn't care about the combat changes, and I think the supporting characters were well done but to shrink the world, narrow the story, restrict customization, and limit the character creation options just seems boneheaded.

Dragon Age 2's biggest downfall, in my view, are the replicated environments. The characters are pretty good, and Jo Wyatts' Hawke is outstanding. Combat and animations are more impressive, visually and in terms of raw action. I guess a few subtleties of tactical nature got lost. But I have played this game several times, and went from disappointment to appreciation. It's the game I have replayed the most, this generation.

Sounds like they really heard the criticism, I mean, they would have to since that's all we talk about. Hopefully they where able to take enough away from "da2 iz sh*t" to improve on the formula. I do think this game will be fun.

Dragon Age 2 was a different approach, that many didn't like. I felt stifled by being in the same town for the whole game. However if you're defending the town it makes sense.

There is a market for that type of story and game, it seemed to have so many feelers out there that played into the overall plot, it made the game a bit of a mess. I digress, choosable races eh whatever. In these games options are nice I guess, its more about the story than the options.
