Anyone here gonna stream using full tactical cam? Can't play the game for a while.

 

[Vlodril]

[piratepwnsninja]

Good news. Your order will be ready for pickup on Tuesday, November 18, 2014.

Based Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked...

Was worried since I ordered a physical PC edition that they wouldn't have it tomorrow.

You don't need a direct reference- if the Warden didn't survive the battle against the Archdemon then the Orlesian Warden-Commander must exist.

Sure, but we did pick name, race and gender for them, yar? I was kinda hoping those could get recorded too.

*gasp 3 minutes*

 

[Soren01]

SO much hype.I cant remember the last time I felt this way

I use SoftEther VPN Client. Give it a try if FlyVPN isn't working.

I've never played a game on Origin before. Do they usually handle this day one load pretty well?

 

[sensui-tomo]

It's 10 years from when the Blight starts in DAO to when Inquisition starts.

thanks for that link

Spoiler

gave me specific knowledge of when a certain event happens in the game.

 

[Simzyy]

So close

 

[Vorheez]

How long did it take them to make this game? It boggles my mind how Bioware is able to keep producing games of this magnitude as frequently as they do. It feels like this should be at least a 5 year project.

Not if SimCity launch was any indication, lol.

 

[DylanTackoor]

Time for some last minute overclocking.

ONE MORE MINUTE!

Does the protagonist in this one actually speak during dialogue sequences, or is (s)he mute like in Origins?

 

[Sevenfold]

We are go!!!

[DylanTackoor]

GO GO GO GO GO GO

Yes that means it's up now.

Are there hidden Nolan North/Jennifer Hale options?

Splendid news - this bothered me more than I thought it would. Thanks.

From the RPS review, I love this line:

I haven’t enjoyed a BioWare game this much since Baldur’s Gate II and I haven’t enjoyed an RPG this much since…well, Divinity: Original Sin. Ask me to choose between them though and I’d throw sand in your eyes and run a for the hills clutching them both to my chest.

 

[OverturePT]

I'm in. See ya, real world.

 

[Wind's Howling]

PS4 would work in another way. Such as buying the game on the HK PSN instead of US. So wherever you bought it from that's when it will unlock. Not recommended to buy it off of a PSN where you can't understand the language. HK usually have English though.

I highly doubt it works that way. It didn't for me with Destiny IRC.

Or I am deeply mistaken and if so can someone clarify?

Anyone? If I can play the game early on the PS4 by buying it from the US store instead of having to wait until Thursday for the EU release that would be such a delight.

Am I the only peon waiting till midnight for this?

Bioware as a whole has upwards of about 800 employees broken up into multiple teams.

They started working on this game in concept after Dragon Age Origins released back in 2009, so yea it's been a while in the making. This team is separate from the Mass Effect team, though many developers interchange between the two.

A number of devs on this game have already moved on to the new Mass Effect.

 

[Gvaz]

i can't get any vpn working with softether and korea

 

[ttocs]

Are you guys playing the game now? Is it live somewhere?

 

[Tovarisc]

Yep, here we go

 

[dragn]

im in

 

[DylanTackoor]

This menu music is hyping me up more than anything else I've ever played. God damn.

This is gonna be great

 

[ttocs]

Oh, is this only for PC? I guess I can't play my Xbox One version. My trial through EA Access ran out, but it was fun while it lasted.

 

[pixlexic]

As a huge fan of the series and played the full 6 hour trial u am litlle skeptical. It seems like it could be a cool game but it doesn't feel like dragon age.

Maybe more time with the game will.bring that around.

Thanks for the info Shinobi, and excellent OP.

 

[Hristi]

How do you add this to steam so it shows playing DA:I?

Really? I didn't feel that way at all. I thought it felt just like a Dragon Age, a nice mix of DA:O and DA2.

 

[SargerusBR]

Bye guys, i'm in

 

[MisterShine]

Am I the only peon waiting till midnight for this?

Nope. My friends and I are all getting the PS4 version (I'm the only one who has a gaming PC), so I'm headed to the midnight release tonight with them. I'll be trying not to read this thread too much though, I've made it this far knowing barely anything about the game and I'd hate for some spoilers now.

 

[shinobi602]

At least you got that much! I can't play until tomorrow afternoon

 

[Facism]

bah it crashes 1 minute into the title screen :/

 

[JohnGrimm]

How do you add this to steam so it shows playing DA:I?

You have to add Origin.exe as the non-steam game and then name it to whatever you intend to play.

You need to be signed out of Origin first and then boot the client from within Steam.

 

[Zod the Bear]

Am I the only peon waiting till midnight for this?

Gonna wake up early tomorrow morning before work to play with character creation, but won't be able to really sit down and play 'til I get home from work around 6pm tomorrow.

So you'll beat me, at least!

 

[BrassDragon]

At the title screen.... "Connecting to the Dragon Age servers"... forever.

Think they're getting hammered. *grins*

 

[X-Frame]

So just to confirm, the Flames content is included with the Deluxe Edition not pre-order bonus content that will be gone by tomorrow?

Only because on Amazon it says that the "Deluxe Edition also includes the mighty Flames of the Inquisition" and no mention of it being a pre-order bonus only.

So I could pick up the Deluxe Edition at any time (like a month from now) and still get all the Flames content?

To be fair there's three games in the series now so there's no longer any baseline of what a Dragon Age game needs to be. They try something new each time and if it sticks they run with it.

 

[DylanTackoor]

Anyone else testing out multiplayer first?

Edit: I'm playing with people called "event_ea_02" and "03". Interesting.

 

[Xevren]

Am I the only peon waiting till midnight for this?

I'm braving the midnight launch at Gamestop to play it, gonna play some multiplayer for awhile once I get home with my copy.

 

[Kinthalis]

I knew I should have taken off Monday and Tuesday instead of Tuesday and Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARGH!!

I hate you all. I hate you!!!

 

[StarlordDial]

2 more hours damn it lol

 

[Megasoum]

So if use the proxy to unlock it do you need to keep the proxy up until tonight or it's just to unlock it?
