First aren't they pre-order, not deluxe items? Second, dunno about their strength, the more important aspect is that you get their schematics or forms so while the actual items you get might not be strong after a few hours you can craft items in their likeness that do have good stats. So if you really like the way that armor looks or that sword or shield looks you can craft weapons and armor that look just like them but will have better stats or stats you want them to have even 100 hours in at the end of the game.

Oh really? Okay.
Oh okay.
As far as i have heard so far they are pretty basic and received at the start, with the option to turn them into more powerful items with crafting later on, could be wrong though as my info all comes from reading biowares forums.

Yep you're right, I guess just the armor is with the deluxe edition.

well that turned out to be anti-climatic. in any case, here's to tomorrow!

So you can have virtually identical armor throughout the game, but have it scale by redrafting it?

Okay, I gotta ask. How you kids gettin the thingy to unlock with a VPN what is that even.

I mean the client, sorry.
Yeah, as long as you find the form for it. Finding armor doesn't automatically give you the schematics for it though unfortunately and I'm not sure if it's been confirmed or not that every weapon and piece of armor has a schematic, especially for some unique ones. Hopefully they do, but I can't say for sure one way or the other.

Well I'd rather not spend unnecessary money. If I can cancel the preorder I can just buy a disc copy and not have to deal with this strange memory issue, or unearth my 120GB 360 from the shadowy corner it's been gathering dust in.

Hell yes it was. I was all hyped up about it, despite my efforts to not be.
But hey - you guys recommending softether VPN saved the day! I'm just glad tomorrow morning looks possible now

Good enough for me, I'd much rather have consistent armor throughout the game!

this is especially true for mages. In games like DAII there was like 1 cool style for robes and the rest looked like shit. I mean sure mages got the coolest looking final armor, but it wasn't worth all the shitty robes.
I mean the whole point of it is to tell you what happened. So yes.
GavinUK86

Yes it does.
I hate to break it to you, but this game is also going to spoil stuff from the other games.
Download the Softether VPN Client + VPNGate Client plugin from here, when you install it and run it the first time, double click the VPNGate public VPN relay servers and accept all the various prompts and then when it comes to a list of servers pick a Korean one. Exit and relaunch Origin if you already have it open.
Major props to all those involved on the creation of the OT. Looks quite good.
Since we are already on page 9, what's the consensus? Everyone is going to to use a VPN to unlock the game earlier? (which I assume is in 8-10 hrs away for Korea)
Also, did we ever heard what does the 0-day patch included in the preload fixes?
I probably will start by creating my character, then jump to Multiplayer to get used to the controls, and then get back to SP for a new proper session (likely with a new designed char). Can't wait to see how everyone's Inquisitor looks (specially female Qunari).

Yes. Its a summary of the whole game including how it concludes and its end game.
If you don't want to get spoiled for origins and Da2, it would be best to play them before inquisition.

I don't know if it's the same for other people, but I've found the only way to connect to any of the Asian VPNs is to select the UDP protocol option here:

That's okay if you're buying something, not to play a game early. Check my post a few minutes ago with a link to reddit with a guide.

Rewetting the Keep's personalized recap video before going to sleep, and all I can think about during Varric's narration is this:

I don't know anything about it, but someone in the old thread said it had some junkware or spyware. Something like that
Should work with TCP, the differences between the two protocols should be irrelevant when its used in a manner like this.I don't know if it's the same for other people, but I've found the only way to connect to any of the Asian VPNs is to select the UDP protocol option here:
It would be very difficult to play this game without knowing anything about the DAO and DA2 storylines (if you're interested in the story that is). The OP did a great job with a general summary of them. I mean, try to imagine trying to play Mass Effect 3 without playing or reading about 1 and 2.
Having finished my watch-through of the DA2 cinematics I'm all set for DAI. I would definitely argue against "playing" DA2 given how clearly repetitive things are with the combat and the environments, but it wouldn't hurt to watch the cinemas.
I still need to create save states in the Keep though. Better get that done now. Cannot wait for this to be unlocked. Though I wish they did weekend unlocks, I know no one does because no company wants to do QA/CS over a weekend for initial players. No doubt I'll probably spend the first few hours I have the first night just creating characters.
Can't wait to see more of Varric.
But jeez, whose idea was it to give Dorian that stupid mustache? And I wish the Iron Bull looked more like the Qunari of DA2 than he does now.

It's 684 KB [~0.684 MB] in size so I doubt its fixing anything outside of random typo and missing , or .

Tempted to unlock this via VPN, but considering I'm working all day Tuesday but have Wednesday and Thursday off I think I'll just wait.

Don't hate the 'tache bro.
I really with the OT title had been "Escape from Shit Mountain" 
Seriously, even watching just the cinemas of DA2 I could see just how terrible the environments looked both technically and artistically. And to imagine having to go through those same areas time and time again without any change in them over the course of 40+ hours would be just mind-numbing.
Thankfully just a few screens of DAI look 100X better than DA2.

I just can't take it seriously. It's so hilarious looking.

Ah I see, gonna go read the entries for DA 1 and 2 then, at least for DA 1 I'll enjoy the combat based on how well its recieved.

They said you can find armor schematics for mages that look like plate armor, but strictly speaking you can just put plate mail on a mage, even if they are a KE.

no way to confirm but clothing/armor can have different stats. The way this game works is that your stats come almost entirely from your equipment and weapons. So unless you can find armor with magic stats.
Well, Frostbite use heavy compression, I think. I'm mostly hoping issues like the mouse losing focus is fixed.
Shame that unlocking the 30 fps limit during cutscenes is apparently not as simple.
Where my Knight Enchanters at
Only class worth playing imo
sword and board and rogue are all so boring

DAO is my favorite western RPG of all time. I hear Inquisition is even better!
Day 1 patch for BF 4 was easily several hundred MBs. What DAI has as Day 0/1 patch is joke, that size means some typo fixes more or less.
I doubt cutscenes will get unlocked if their reason for lock is that animations and sync don't utterly break.
