Wait, before we get into the news, which is important, what’s really important is these kente cloth-wearing white people because that shit was hilarious. And so was the kneeling. I mean I know that the GOP is off the hook in their craziness, and as the secretary of minutes for the black folks, I have to say that this…

It goes without saying that the basic setup of 4 would spoil plot points from 3. That’s how every sequel works.

Proof of a well written character is that they cause a lingering reaction in the audience. I sometimes do panels at conventions on villains, and the last one I did was last year, almost on the 5th anniversary of Dragon Age: Inquisition. The second Solas’ face went on screen, you could immediately tell who in the…

just remaster Dragon Age Origins already with modern graphics, but leave characters, story, music, game systems alone

They recently had it on sale last week for about $5, if I recall correctly. Just get it whenever a sale pops up again.

They don’t telegraph Solas throughout the main game. He’s more of the guy whose weirdness makes more sense once you find out at the post-credits scene of the main game who (what) he really is.

Okay, but will the Warden Commander have figured out what the deal with the Calling is and be able to solve the mystery of the blight?

There was a lot of evidence in the main game that Solas was the Dread Wolf, and that he had something to do with Coryheus. Trespasser makes all of this explicit, and walks you through his plans: ie: the elves used to rule the world (well, the elven gods did, and the gods were “just” extremely powerful mages, not…

I hope they go back to a more Origins esque gameplay style, but giving the popularity of DA:I, I doubt that’ll happen.

I certainly didn’t romance Solas, but I was about as close to a friend to him as you could get: lore/philosophy nerd that I am, I chatted him up and stayed open-minded at every opportunity. After taking that approach, it’s kind of hilarious how remorseful and even embarrassed he is when you confront him at the end of…

Just wanted to point out that a companion has carried over from DA:O > DA: Awakening, Oghren was a companion in both....then Anders from DA:A > DA2 was a companion in both, and then Varric from DA2 > DAI....so I think there is a good chance some companion will carry over....It seems like they carry over the “fun…

They try to make each game as new player friendly as possible, but IMO you really are going to be missing on a significant layer of fun by just going in cold because:

Glad you asked! You have 2 ways to go about this. One is to just play the games. There’s some background information that’s handy to know about theprevious games but it’s not critical to playing and enjoying DAI.

OR

You could go to dragonagekeep.com. It’s a website BioWare built for folks who want to import decisions…

I’m the weird person who loves DA:I passionately and have played it like 4 times through. I know I’m setting myself up for Andromeda level disappointment but I can’t help it. I’m hyped.

I’ve been a big fan of the DA games, but haven’t delved too much into the stories outside of it. I really should have, I would have liked it. Thinking back on it, I find myself not remembering quite as much about Inquisition as I did DA2. Solas became my right hand confidant during my play through, which made his…

*puts this in her blog topic rolodex to bust out as we get closer to DA4*

Would gladly read a “Dragon Age: The Story So Far” article from you!

*checks watch* how much time you got because I will gladly give you the rundown.

I think this is pretty disingenuous. There are certainly alt-left groups, but comparing the alt-right to “liberals” is a hugely false dichotomy. Liberal groups generally push for inclusion, sometimes at the expense of existing social structures. Alt-right groups often push for ethno-states and the subjugation or…

I was not aware of this trailer’s real historical connection to the absolutely stupefyingly stupid idea of Cultural Marxism. Pieces like this is why I read Kotaku. Thanks, Ian!
