Be careful, it’s raining demons out here. Or so says Varric in the recently launched trailer focusing on the plot details and new information on the Inquisitor that were previously unknown. This week has been an extensive one for the folks at Bioware, who’ve been working rather diligently on the next pending installment of the Dragon Age series. Dragon Age: Inquisition received its own box art earlier today, and that public release was followed with another previously unseen trailer depicting the main character’s role in a scarred, and broken world. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say, “on the verge of breaking?” The trailer gives a little more insight on the background of the main character as a sole survivor of a catastrophic event that turned thousands of the living into mummified corpses.
The trailer seen below will give you a clear understanding to the horrendous event that I am speaking about. As well as the role that will be instructed in-game for the Inquisitor and the various members whom will become your companions. So far, we’re aware of three that have been revealed to us from Bioware. The roles of the others are still albeit rumors; but the combined presence in the trailer launched on Bioware’s official Youtube channel does give us some leeway to assume that all possible companions are present in the footage.
The overwhelming success of the original Dragon Age made the sequel seem a little condensed, constrained, and overall was seen as an upset for the Bioware gaming community. This, alongside the disappointment still rife due to Mass Effect 3‘s ending has initially made Dragon Age fans skeptical about the upcoming release of Dragon Age: Inquisition. According to Mark Darrah on PC Gamer, there’ll be a pleasant mixture of the previous Dragon Age games and new content; so the balance will not be disturbed while offer players a more comprehensive in-game experience. “Dragon Age 2, we decided we wanted to try something, to try to do very different storytelling, something much more personal, something much more tightly constrained. No chosen one, no clear overarching threat. I don’t think it was a perfect success, but that was intentional,” Darrah told PC Gamer. Urging that the game was taking a risk in attempting to be different then Dragon Age: Origins and missed its intended mark with the Dragon Age crowd.
“The overall scope of the game or the perception of the combat getting a lot simpler or waves and things like that—not intended, exactly. That was supposed to be more evolutionary. I think we just overreached. We pushed too hard,” concluded Mark Darrah in his interview. Acknowledging the blips in Dragon Age 2, so that the gaming community might enjoy the changes and overall shift in Dragon Age: Inquisition. With the new information that we have now, there’s reason to be more optimistic about the upcoming release. We’ll be getting the game rather soon, so keep tuned in for more details that’ll be trickling in from Bioware.

We’ll be sure to keep up to date on the sudden onrush of information that should make itself known in the upcoming months.
