Dragon Age III: Inquisition detailed – castles, backstories, customisation and more
By Alice Lynton on October 21, 2012 at 1:30 pm
Let’s pretend for a minute that we’ve already had the long boring fight about whether Dragon Age 2 is good or not and skip right to being very excited for what BioWare has in store for the recently-announced third entry. The hometown development team was on hand at the Edmonton Comic & Entertainment Expo and was expected to show some concept art, but got a bit enthusiastic and gave out a bunch of new details instead.
Although a full report has not emerged, BioWare staffers said that “one level in Dragon Age III is as big as all of the levels in Dragon Age II”, which should please those who criticised the sequel’s repeating environmental designs. Continuing the trend of addressing critique, the third game will have “bigger” customisation than even Dragon Age: Origins, including the return of follower customisation.
Although players will be restricted to a human character, they will be able to choose and play through a background story which will have “significant impact on the story”. You’ll also be able to control your own castle.
Finally, the game will support importing save data from previous titles, but BioWare is looking at some way to allow new players or those switching platforms to craft a custom backstory. Dragon Age III: Inquisition is expected in late 2013.

to control you own castle
which will habe
but got a biut enthusiastic
If you are going to C & P at least run it through a spell checker first.
Doesn’t that imply that the original article had those spelling errors? Which it… doesn’t?
Anyway, thankyou for spotting those, which have already been cleaned up!
Oh it was rewritten? Fair enough then.
So DA3 is going to be small? Or is Alice having a bad day on the keyboard?
Pass and/or another <$5 amazon digital purchase down the road like DAII. Think I'll stick to the proper rpg's coming out next year like Wasteland 2 then Shadowrun returns/Project eternity after that.
I'm a bit over bioware these days.
Have to admit, that line makes no sense. It sounds like every level in DA3 could fit in one level of DA2.
Also boohiss on human only =((
Yeh i didn’t think that made much sense when i first read it, but i just read the kotaku post then and it’s the other way around lol.
supposed to be one level in DA3 is as big as all of DA2. It’s a sunday i think we can let it slide.
What i would like dragon age 3 to be: a true squeal to dragon age origins!
Got Dragon Age: Origins on steam. Loved it.
Got Dragon Age 2 on Steam. Enjoyed it, not as much as Origins however.
Dragon Age 3 is probably not going to be on steam, so I won’t buy it unless it has Alistair in it and I can play an Elf.
I’m sick of playing humans
So am I. I can play the role of a human in real life.
Always keeping your cool haha. Good guy Colwill.
Ain’t nothin’ gonna ruffle these feathers
uuggghhh .. why Human Only? A: Because it totally worked in DA2 AMIRITE? :looks around for support:
Stupid. I wanna whip out my Dwarf again .. even in public.
What fight? DA2 is universally regarded to have sucked :P
Sad that I can’t live out my dwarf warrior fixation again like in DA:O
Well my only major gripe with DA2 looks like it’s been addressed. Which is nice.
Now hopefully the storyline focusses on the political and social side of things again, really not keen on being the demon-slaying hero who saves the world.
Odd choice talking up the customisation then locking in a human player character – I’m going to assume it’s for voice acting reasons…. 2 actors instead of 6 or more. If that’s so, the VA had better be Hale quality.
Regardless, BW are very good at evolving their cinematics and combat systems, so the core of the game should be something to look forward to.
DA2 was good, it just had far too much stuff cut out of it.
I thought it was courageous in that it wet away from the stereotype heaven that was Origins.
I still enjoyed DA2, just got sick of the copy-paste areas.
Yeah I’d be happy for it to be closer to DA2 than Origins, mechanically and story-wise. Origins was fun and all but really safe.
Take the best of both and make a really great game is what they need to do.
