14 DAY TRIAL // Dragon Age: Inquisition has just received a fresh set of details taken from a magazine preview, detailing some of the new followers in the upcoming RPG, as well as the protagonist and the fact that it will have no mod support.
Dragon Age games in the past have delivered some great experiences, even if the last one, Dragon Age 2, caused quite a heated debate.
Currently, BioWare is working hard on finishing the next experience in the franchise, Inquisition, which is set to star a new protagonist, as well as a fresh story that expands the Dragon Age universe.
Now, thanks to a new preview article from GameStar magazine, via NeoGAF, a series of fresh details about BioWare's upcoming role-playing game have appeared.
First up, when creating the main character, depending on the gender, players will be able to choose one of two voice actors, a major improvement over Origins' silent protagonist and Dragon Age 2's Hawke, which had one voice per gender.
One new follower has been detailed, in the form of Solas, an Apostate (renegade) mage who can enter the Fade at his own will and offer more details to players.
The protagonist will also spend some time in the Fade and players can create their own rifts inside it to summon demons. Bear in mind that there won't be any fade puzzles.
Players can also upgrade their homebase, which at the start is in Skyhold, with new rooms and sections, like a garden, while customizing other outposts throughout the land, depending on how you manage to secure them.
Wildlife in the world is quite dynamic and you'll often see conflicts between animals like wolf and deer, but also major monsters like dragons and giants, for example. Hunting all the wildlife in one area means that you must wait a while before the animals reappear.
Progressing through the story means not only completing quests but also improving the strength of the inquisition force, allowing you to enter new regions.
Combat will be influenced by the terrain and conditions, as muddy ground can slow down your troops, and there are quite a few fresh enemy varieties, such as the aforementioned giants that are much bigger than the Darkspawn Ogres, for example.
Unfortunately, it seems that BioWare once again isn't planning on offering support for user-created mods inside Dragon Age: Inquisition, although no exact reasoning or details have been offered by the developers just yet.
Dragon Age: Inquisition is set to launch on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One this fall.
