Dragon Age Inquisition

Old thread but don't think anything more recent...

With the release on November 18th, I saw some places state that reviews will be released starting November 11th....the developer must be pretty confident in the game to allow that.

Still undecided if I will buy, but since reviews can come out soon I can make the decision later this week.

^Where'd you see that? Ironically I was just watching some videos to get in the mood. I pre-ordered.

Cool, they must be confident like you said. I think that bodes well for us.

So when is pre-load gonna be up for this?
(Mind you, for us non-Americans release date is the 21st and not the 18th :( )

Midnight on the day of release? 21st for you?

^There's supposed to be a pre-load option.
It's advertised on Origin.

I'm watching y'all's commentary. DA1 was awesome but DA2 not so much.

Gusington · November 10, 2014, 02:32:14 PM

I didn't even buy DA2.

BanzaiCat · November 10, 2014, 02:55:12 PM

I was very disappointed. Somehow I thought it was an extension of DA1. Loved the characters in DA1. DA2, they're meh. I dunno, it's been a while, I need to revisit it.

Gusington · November 10, 2014, 05:25:25 PM

Isn't DA2 more of an ARPG also?

BanzaiCat · November 10, 2014, 05:44:00 PM

Yeah, but the whole thing just seemed...off.

I played DA1 so much I racked up like 500 hours, almost as much as I have in Skyrim. I played DA2 through once. Same deal, I just couldn't get into the characters and the combat seemed very off. It certainly never managed to inspire the sense of desperation that my first playthrough of DA1 did.

I think they got the message though. This is looking pretty good from what I've seen so far.

^You guys and 1 million other screaming DA fans can't be wrong. And I agree, from the videos and wikis I've checked I am getting a good, loin-moistening vibe.

DA1 was excellent. I suspect I'm in the minority but I thought DA2 was pretty good too. Not as good as 1 but good none the less. It was different than1 but in some ways better. Your character's story spanned many years of time as she/he grew in not only levels but in wealth and fame. I liked it.
