I didn’t feel alienated for not being well-versed in Dragon Age history and it's pretty easy to grasp what is going on. While it is obvious that there's a bigger picture and universe here than I was personally aware of, the game doesn't treat you that way. I really appreciate just how noob-friendly the game’s story plays out right from the start. Despite the protests of nearly everyone else, Cassandra takes your character out to investigate one of the closer rifts and see just how you are connected to these strange portals. This is definitely not your stereotypical, female character. Cassandra is a very strong-willed and ambitious warrior who demands respect from everybody she comes in contact with. She is a very interesting character to say the least and actually one who I believe is going to become a hallmark for the series. There is only one individual who is willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and give you a chance to prove your innocence: Cassandra Pentaghast. Your character is somehow connected to them and, as a result, you've been taken prisoner and are to stand trial for your role in these strange events. Following the events of Dragon Age II, it appears that there are a series of strange rifts that have opened up all over Thedas. Too many role-playing games take their time in getting you into the thick of things, but Inquisition does its best to get you onto the battlefield as soon as possible.
One of the things I enjoyed was how quickly the game throws you into the action.
Physically, you have control over nearly every aspect of your character, from the obvious choices like sex and hairstyle to even fine tuning the shape and position of their ears, eyes, and nose. The races will play a role in the social aspect of the game, and the classes will dictate which stills and equipment your character will be able to use. You get to choose from a variety of races (human, elf, dwarf, or Qunari) and classes (dual-wielding rogue, archer rogue, two-handed and one-handed warrior, and mage) as well as fine tuning the physical attributes using a very intricate system. Now I find myself waiting on pins and needles for the game’s release later this month, because I can’t wait to dig deeper into this universe.Īs you would expect, the experience starts off with a robust character creation system. I got a chance to spend a few hours exploring the first section of the game on PC, and I can’t believe that it has taken me this long to join the masses in exploring Thedas. That is all about to change after getting an introduction to the new chapter of the series, Dragon Age: Inquisition, last week in San Francisco. This is one of those series that I have always admired from afar but never taken the plunge and played. I have to be honest with everyone right up front: I am a Dragon Age virgin.
