Dragon Age: Inquisition Demo Panel Breakdown - PAX Prime

EDIT: There is no swimming in Inquisition. There seems to be drowning or some kind of water damage, however.

Better late than never. Breakdown of my collection of notes on Dragon Age: Inquisition's demo from all 4 days at PAX Prime!

EDIT: There is NO swimming in DAI. I'm not sure where the taking damage in the water comment came from during the panel, so possibly just drowning? We'll see.

I'm going to approach this game like I do all Bioware games. I do all of the side quests I can before doing the story content, then do a piece of the story that unlocks more sidequests, and do all of the sidequests first again. Bioware designs pretty much their entire questing system around that design.

I can't count the number of people who only did the story content for Mass Effect 2 and wonder why the failed, or only did the story content for Mass Effect 3 and wonder why the game is killing off most of the characters they met in Mass Effect 2. Same thing in the Dragon Age games. If you skip content in one act for Dragon Age 2, you miss out on more content that was attached to it in a later act.

It's really not smart to skip side quests in Bioware's games, so the more interesting they make them the better.

Thank you for another great breakdown. For those of us who are not connected or able to make it to these shows, you offer insight and information.

will we meet the characters in the multiplayer (the archer, the keeper, etc) in single player campaign since they are basically the Inqusition's agents? 

[Skullzi]

Nice catch on the Inquisitor abilities!  This is why I watch your videos, best source of news in my opinion

[brushwoodcalamity]

Thank you for always updating! It eases the wait Lol.

[alisonpiercy]

Awesome video Ashe! Keep up the good work!

I hope we get a DLC for a Mabari companion.

[Jonathan-ubkt]

wait, wait, wait, wait, WAIT!

We can SWIM now!? :O

[Oversamma]

at 1:17, is that a scene from Dragon Age 2 or Inquisition? I didn't like they templar's armor design in DA2

[TheGodlikeDragon]

Wait, what? War-nugs? Did the writers of DAI smoke weed and and listen to Black Sabbath´s Warpigs when one of them said: We should have War-nugs in DAI! That would so much cooler then a Mabari!
Cuz that sound like something similar to what Oghren said about how he thought the Grey Wardens should ride on Mabari Chariots

[Druller-yp]

You know that the World is burning when you ride on a warnug!!!! XD

[Jostingongwong]

I think I will spend more time doing side quests...

Is just the way I play; I spent more time doing side quests in Skyrim before doing the main story, not all of course but I did plenty of side quests without even touching the main campaign!

I am really looking forward to DA:I and to spend hours exploring the world alone

[RoweRage]

So what do you think on how in depth the character creation will be? "Four playable races, two genders, and a choice of voices, as well as our unique, brand new facial customization system that offers over a billion possible faces" It seems like Bioware really putting a emphasis on customization and not just on character creation but armor and weapons. It's getting me incredibly excited. When I saw that weapon customization for a axe on that multiplayer video. Holy shit!!!

[ARC_Nemisis]

Something i totally didn't even remember until i recently replayed DA: Awakening was that during your mission in the Blackmarsh the Warden-Commander/ Warden and his followers are all forced into the Fade by "The First" with some sort of power that came from his hand in the form of a bright green ball of light. So this means that The Mother somehow knew of this power and taught it to The First. This ability seems extremely similar to the power the Inquisitor gains, including being able to manipulate tears in the veil and either open or close them. Ashe, I was wondering what your thoughts about this were. How did The Mother know about this power and if she knew then surely the Architect knew.

[MessagerOfHell]

What about more detail on crafting?

In the end, we saw at the Demo the developers making a one handed axe and it had different stats that depended on what materials the developer used. But what about armor or runes and the such?

[Witchling]

Do you now if there will be any differences, more than graphics between the old gen version and the new gen? And have you seen the old gen version? Thanks for the all the great vids.

[ItsNik.]

The graphics will be slightly decreased on old-gen consoles, I think you stated before like that was only things like how interactive water was? I really hope the differences are not too much since I am getting a PS4 in December, so yeah XD

[Waasiq]

Hi Ashe !! Can you talk about inventory and stuff please !! I was playing DAO again and realized inventory getting filled up quick is a little annoying and trying to sell is even more annoying, so what changes in DAI have been made in inventory ?

[serelryk]

Have they said anything about the Rogue Specialization Tempest yet? I need to know about it so I can choose between that or Assassin!! =)
