What is happening inside bioware, this seems like several generations ahead of the previous DA games in evey aspect. The world and atmosphere are absolutely amazing. Hopefully the story and narrative will see similar leap. I can't wait.

They did look at Elder Scrolls and took some inspiration from it, which is great to see. I like it when game developers use each others work to help develop their own products.

Trailer has hyped me a lot. Will probably pre-order to get the pre-order stuff.

 

That seems to be the case, but I wouldn't say they are inspired by The Elder Scrolls. I believe they are very different, especially the combat which is the main weakness of the Elder Scrolls imo.

Anyways, DA franchise has a great potential, hopefully BW will deliver a complete package this time.

 

Well you take the good, and discard the crap. I meant they were inspired by the expansive openness of Elder Scrolls, not the gameplay. If DA ever moved towards TES gameplay I'd drop the series like a hot coal. I like the idea of being able to ride / walk throughout the world with quick travel as an option, rather than the area transitions of the past DA games, so I hope Bioware have been able to implement that from TES. If as they say one free-roaming area in DA:I is a big as the entireity of Kirkwall and surrounding lands from DA2 then that would be a great halfway house with the only area transitions when you're travelling between distant locations. Semi open world I guess.
