Dragon Age 3: Inquisition

Dragon Age. Spilserien begyndte på en episk note med Dragon Age: Origins og satte en høj standard for kommende RPG-spil fra den populære udvikler. BioWare er kendt for at lave mindeværdige rollespil, herunder blandt andet Baldur's Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic og selvfølgelig Mass Effect, men i nyere tid er studiet imidlertid faldet i popularitet. Dragon Age 2 var ikke just den oplevelse, som mange af os havde ventet på, og Mass Effect 3? Den suppedas behøver næppe nogen kommentarer fra mig eller nogen anden.

Nu er de imidlertid klar til at løslade informationer vedrørende Dragon Age 3, og efter alt at dømme lyder det til, at spillet kommer til at hæve niveauet betragteligt. Creative Director på spillet, Mike Laidlaw, talte om spillet til en konference, hvor det kom frem, at spillets områder blandt andet bliver store. Meget store endda! Et af områderne skulle være lige så stort som hele Dragon Age 2! Det lyder fornuftigt. Ydermere er der ligeledes tale om fuld tilpasningsmuligheder af ens karakter og følgere, men det kom ligeledes frem, at man (igen) kun kan spille som menneske. Det er lidt af en skam taget i betragtning af, at man i Origins kunne spille som alle racerne. Dette skabte en fin dynamik, som nu desværre går tabt, men jeg holder endnu håbet højt. BioWare har brug for en succes nu, og Dragon Age 3 kan meget vel blive den succes! Spillet forventes at udkomme i efteråret 2013.

English version:

Dragon Age. The series started on a very high note with the popular Dragon Age: Origins and it set a high standard for future RPGs from the popular developer. BioWare is known for making memorable roleplaying games, like Baldur's Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and of course Mass Effect, but in recent times the studio has experienced a decline in popularity. Dragon Age 2 was not what anyone had expected and Mass Effect 3? Well that doesn't really need any more comments from me or anyone.

BioWare is however ready to unleash details about Dragon Age 3 and all things considered it seems to be a game that will raise the bar considerably. Creative Director, Mike Laidlaw, said at a conference that the levels in the game will be massive. One of the levels is actually the size of the entire Dragon Age 2! That sounds promising indeed. Furthermore we will be able to customize both our main character and followers as well, but he also stated that we will only be able to play as humans. That is a loss, I believe, because being able to create a character of any race in Origins created a certain dynamic to the game which will now be lost. But still I maintain high hopes for Dragon Age 3. BioWare needs a success and this game might just be it! The game is expected to launch in late 2013.
