Developer BioWare reckons future Dragon Age Inquisition players will have to set aside between 150 and 200 hours in order to complete everything there is in the upcoming role-playing game. During a recent interview courtesy of Polygon, the game’s producer – Cameron Lee – stated “[they’re] just making more. More and more and more. And it’s all entirely up to the player. It’s your world, your game. We want to give our players a real world to explore – we want to give them a BioWare story”. The producer also mentioned Dragon Age Inquisition’s main story should take gamers about 20 or 25 hours to complete. “That’s what we do, and it normally takes 20 to 40 hours anyway to tell the story we want to tell”, continued Lee. “People could burn through it and just do the main path, but we wanted to have a world that’s fully immersive and well-defined for you to explore, discover and get involved in. We want you to see you decision have an impact and take shape in the world”.
Dragon Age Inquisition is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. The developer is planning on fusing elements of both earlier games in the series, Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age II, into the creation of Dragon Age Inquisition. The game will feature larger environments with much more opportunity for exploration. BioWare has confirmed that multiple playable races are returning, both male and female. Players can play as a human, dwarf, or elf just like in Dragon Age Origins. Additionally, Qunari are also playable for the first time. However, combat is expected to differ somewhat from its direct predecessor, and focus more on a player’s ability to prepare, position, and form a cohesive team with his or her party members, requiring fewer repetitive finger strikes but better thinking like the first installment. Tactical view also returns for all five platforms in Dragon Age Inquisition, whereas before it was exclusive to PC in Dragon Age: Origins, and which was removed in Dragon Age II.
Dragon Age Inquisition launches on November 18th in North America and November 21st in Europe, on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
