Dragon Age: Inquisition


Recommended Posts

It's just a fan-made trailer, guys.  Someone took some publicly available footage and threw some generic "epic" music behind it.  Not from Bioware.

I gathered that from the little tag on the video when I watched it. Still well done other than the voice sync.

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

That explains why it feels so disjointed.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling

Woo dragons! Sure these have already been posted, but just in case - 30 mins of official gameplay footage. Apparently pre-dates E3 2014

 

Part 2: 

 

Torturing someone wearing armor, that must be new (I'll give them the benefit of the doubt though and assume that's placeholder material) :p

 

 

Looks like she might have chipped a nail. Must have been terrible for her.

Sometimes, the worst damage done, is the stuff you can't see.

Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.

I suppose they didn't feel like retreading Rockstar's old ground with their torture scene controversy business -- It probably isn't a coincidence that a minor controversy with ME1 affected the presence of nudity in the sequels, where the supposed sex scenes where at best a bra and a bit of pants-on-dry-humping. To paraphrase Futurama -- Everybody is always talking about saving Hitler's brain, but when you it inside a Great White Shark -- Oooooh, suddenly you've gone too far!

From Award Winning Director... *insert director here of Dragon Age here*, comes..... DRAGON AGE: INQUISITION!

 

 

Narrator: In an ancient land, before time or sundials, it was time for a hero. This Fall, prepare to believe all over again, once more, again. Dragon Age: Inquistion - prepare to believe.

Woman: It's a time before time... Oh no, here come the ****ing dragons!

Cassandra: We need a hero, or evil will reign for 2000 generations, and a million Qunari will storm these lands, and the CGI bill will be apocalyptic!

Narrator: Dragon Age Inquisition - prepare to love.

Inquisitor: I'm only a humble blacksmith with a California accent. How can I possibly rise up and conquer evil without a montage?

Dorian: How indeed? Do you believe?

Inquisitor: I believe, in the miracle of merchandising! I'll need a furry talking sidekick to spew one-liners while I chop off heads!

Sera: (sound of decapitation) Don't lose your head! Hehehehe!

Iron Bull: We shall spin gold out of this drivel.

Narrator: Prepare to sit through a four hour journey.

Inquisitor: I've got a quest: I must defeat evil, and sell franchise rights to Tevinter!

Cassandra: We're cursed! The dragons! They're flying upside down!

Man: Nooo! The CG machine is broken again!

Inquisitor: (yelling) INQUISITION!

Narrator: The quest is yours. Dragon Age Inquisiton; coming soon to a theater near you. Rated "G" for gibberish.

But the GTA V torture scene was a political statement. Here it's just part of the story. 

 

No, I don't just want to see Leliana strung up naked getting candle wax all over her back. I'm not that kind of sexual degenerate.

I'm not down for anything rapey happening to Leliana either. However, I am down for her getting her bowels slashed open and her guts spilling out.  You know, tasteful and classy like.

we don't want for bad stuff to happen to her. well, perhaps a severe case o' laryngitis so she can't sing would be an ill we would wish 'pon her. also, we would hope that somebody would teach her how to use a bow. her form is complete wrong.  how tough is it to get her to keep her elbow up, pull back to mouth or chin, and hold longbows at a 45 degree angle?

 

am joking o' course. wanting realism in combat is kinda silly. 

 

...

 

am kinda serious 'bout the laryngitis though.

 

HA! Good Fun!

I'm sorry, have you played the game since you are able to comment on its context? :p

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

HA! Good Fun!

Well its good to have you back, you don't realize how much you miss someone's insight  until they suddenly don't post anymore. Its like " hey where is person x " and I have seen  several regular members vanish lately  from being regular contributors towards discussions

That's not the message it sent to its audience as one can tell by either playing it or viewing the reactions.

What message, pray tell, is it then?

I guess it was to make torture in the name of fighting terrorism uncomfortable as you're not working with Paladin Bauer and things aren't clear cut - the instructions to off a guy with a beard and who is left handed, etc.

Yes, torture under the name of freedom was GTA V's intent. You do realize the game, not so subtly, completely attacks the far right in the U.S. right? (With some quips at the left as well)

Yep, much like GTA 4 had some of that.
