We have new details for you for Dragon Age 3: Inquisition. Hold on to your seats because we have a bit of a lot.
First off, we have a pic of a female Inquisitor, clearly an elf, as our cover image. Some fans are trying to pick up impressions off of this pic, but I think they may be reading too much into this. In the end, it’s just a first peek at your customization options for the Inquisitor.
We have some impressions for the game as well. As has become par for the course now, you can go to nearly any location you can see from a distance in this game. The combat is described as a combination of both a strategic, turn-based element, and a more reactive, action game element. In this way, Bioware can cater to both fans who want to get in the thick of the action and feel it, as well as those who prefer to oversee the action and keep tabs on the numbers. Bioware managed to make this system something really easy to pick up on quickly.
Finally, here’s a spoiled list of achievements. Of course, this list is yet to be confirmed so take it all with a grain of salt, but there’s a chance it could be real. Also, we are sharing this list verbatim, possible errors and all. Of course, considering the delay, even if it is true, it may receive changes in the near future as well. For all these reasons, caveat emptor.
