BioWare Delivers An Encouraging Dragon Age: Inquisition Update

John-Shepard 9 Comments

It's one of the most anticipated games of the new generation, and developer BioWare was recently good enough to give us a detailed update .

Executive producer Mark Darrah said Dragon Age: Inquisition has "come a long way" since the team first showed it off at PAX Prime. That's definitely good news, right?

Furthermore, he says the developers were able to produce a "Holiday Build" of the game, which allows employees to play it over the holiday break. This build is "as complete as possible" and includes the entire storyline; yep, playable from beginning to end for the lucky staffers. The build is hardly bare-bones, as it features some of the voice performances and encompasses all the gameplay systems. Darrah added that it's critical that the game "cover a large variety of locations," which is nice to hear considering that Dragon Age II didn't really do that.

Inquisition is slated to launch for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in fall 2014.

Dragon Age: Inquisition Dev Diary: RPG Aficionados Revel

Ben-Dutka 10 Comments

Seeing this dev diary, one starts to feel that Dragon Age: Inquisition could be the epitome of "bigger and better."

In addition to carefully listening to fan feedback after releasing Dragon Age II , BioWare has stepped up their game for the next generation. In this behind-the-scenes video that features plenty of comments from the talented team members, we discover that Inquisition is going above and beyond.

The "bigger" part comes with the sheer size of the world; no more cramped corridors to run around in as in DAII, and we can almost guarantee the cities in question will be bigger as well. As for "better," that can't be confirmed until we play the game, but this is all very encouraging. It'll feel like a true-blue role-playing experience again, and it'll utilize the power of next-gen systems to become more immersive than ever before. More detailed, more alive, more dynamic.

Really, what is there to complain about?
