I'll settle for Lelianna. That girl turned into a killing machine in DA:O.

Leli is not a romance for the Inquisitor. Neither is Cole. Or Morrigan. I swear there was another character or two they'd commented on, but I can't for the life of me recall them...

 

There are eight romances, two with racial preferences, and at least one "outside of the Inqusition" (neither companion nor adviser). Confirmed romances are Josephine (both genders) and Cullen (female Inquisitor), Cassandra (male Inquisitor), Dorian (male Inquisitor), Sera (female Inquisitor), and it's almost certain that Bull is a romance as well - quotes like "Iron Bull likes bed time Olympics" and "he'll sleep with anyone he's resonably certain he won't break" had better apply to my Inquisitor! That leaves the mystery outsider(s) and possibly one more companion unknown.

Leli is not a romance for the Inquisitor.

Damn.

Gods, Cullen is so ugly in the latest screenshot. I hope it was the camera's tilt and his visual is really fine/looks much like DA2. Having no good romances for a female so far sucks as it is, but the only normal-looking non-party option to become fat and ugly? Please no.

[Eleima]

"Does this armor make me look fat?" "Yes dear, now take it off."

 

Maybe that's what's going on in that screenshot?

[Kulyok]

Mwahaha! I hope so!

[Kulyok]

A good review bodes well. So, Solas is the driest character in the crew? Man, I hope not - I'm going to fall in love with him, after all!

 

(then again, we're getting an immature butt-obsessed rogue, which sounds like a carbon copy of me, except I've got a better haircut!)

 

Kind words for the Qunari guy sound nice, too. 

 

I've pre-ordered - I'm going to be downloading the game on Friday as it's available on Origin by then. I don't know how they're going to prevent people from playing till 19th - but then again, I'm in no hurry.

[Yovaneth]

I have pre-ordered but I think I'll do my usual trick and wait for the first patch before playing it. I'm currently playing Divinity: Original Sin and it's a real old-school make-you-think-bloody-hard RPG.

I pre-ordered as well after I saw the Polygon review.  I was going to get it eventually, no doubt about it, but this push me over the fence, and I'm definitely excited now. 

 

Yovaneth, D:OS is supposed to be really good, have fun with it!

[Eleima]

Thanks for posting that thread from the forums, Kulyok!!  I can't seem to keep up with all those reviews. 

[Kulyok]

Thank you - without you I wouldn't be drawn to these reviews, It's really amazing! Though I wish more of those reviews were written by girls like us, with more info about romances and companions, maybe some non-spoilery warnings that some may have a bitter end, or a flirt screenshot, something like that. Of course, then I wish I was given an advanced copy! Heh, we'd have written long and glowing reviews, I don't doubt.

 

Five more days now...

Made sure to have the whole week off to enjoy this!

It's not perfect, but I found one Game Informer article which might interest you! 

 

Vicen, you're lucky!  No way I could get that much time off to play a game!!

 

Now let's see...  Gonna have to pick between Cullen, Solas and Blackwell...

Solas, absolutely. I watched a short video with his first conversations. Face animations can be terrible at times indeed, but the voice is just right, and the text(while there _can_ be a bit of unnecessary pathos) is great.

 

I'm choosing between Solas, Sera and Iron Bull(who reminds me of Wrex a bit). But Cullen and Blackwall are intriguing, too - Bioware really went all out!

 

Getting internal server error on that Gameinformer article, but I will try again, thanks!

[Kulyok]

Preloaded my Digital Deluxe! (I just hope they haven't pre-installed Russian subtitles and not English ones, because while my English is not bad, I'm highly uncomfortable without subtitles, and I don't want to see any of it in Russian instead of English). And still getting the server error for Game Informer.

[Eleima]

Hum...  Maybe the Google cached version will work better?

This is page two.  Trying to find page one...

[Kulyok]

Thank you! That's pretty cool info! Sera, Cullen and Solas - the best three. Cache does open, even though the server doesn't(banned in Russia, maybe? don't know).

[Kulyok]

Tomorrow evening. Oh god, tomorrow evening!

 

I haven't watched or read spoilers, only one video with Solas' first dialogue. I wanted to learn when and how Logain would come into play(and if he ever would), but I decided not to delve too deeply. 

 

Finished my Dragon Keep playthrough: an all-good sarcastic mage Hawke with Anders, all companions but Sebastian/Isabella; Tallis is angry.

And a rather angry Dalish Warden: Redcliffe abandoned, Connor dead, Urn of Sacred ashes despoiled, Alistair, Sten, Leliana and Wynne killed(because I really want to see the reactions, especially with Leliana).

 

I love Dragon Age Keep's import mechanism. I only wish they made it for DA2, too - then I could finally enjoy Zevran's reaction to romancing the Warden properly.

So, it's been a complete shock, but here's what we discovered a day ago: anybody from Poland or Russia can NOT play Dragon Age Inquisition, unless they're happy to play with Polish or Russian text. We can't even buy a copy in English, not even for the double/triple price - it is not available for our region. The only option at this moment seems to download third-party software(VPN), change the IP, and then buy a version in English - again. 

(The funniest thing is, from what the other players report, many regional versions cost just as much as the Russian one, AND they have English text. Sigh).

[Archmage Silver]

Sooo.... I went ahead and purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition. It's currently sitting pre-loaded on my SSD and ready to go on 20 Nov. To be honest, I've been so swamped with uni work that I've had precious little time to follow the news about Inquisition (or to play any games for that matter, apart from Diablo 3 seasons), so I'm going in blind - the headlines look promising though.

 

I'll post my impressions once I log some hours with the game, and maybe we'll see a bit more activity here again as well - it has been "a while" since DA II was released after all.

Huh, that's weird. You'd think they'd know that people use a VPN in those cases, at least based on the posts on the BioWare forums.
