After a lot of speculation Dragon Age 3 has formally been
confirmed:
The subtitle, which had been one of several doing the
rounds, will be Inquisition. As was very widely expected, the action will take
place in Orlais, the faux French kingdom west of Kirkwall
and north of Ferelden.
As expected (and pretty much necessitated by the end of DA2)
the game will feature the chantry being torn apart as mages and templars go at
each other's throats and refuse to acknowledge the chantry's authority.
According to the info the game's been in production for 2
years already and is expected late in 2013. Hopefully the much longer turn
around time than DA2 had will see a superior quality game. Apparently the world
will be more expansive, there will be more customisation (I'd love the chance
to play as a Qunari but would be surprised if that's an option) and more
'reactivity' to player choices.
Of course, we'll have to wait and see how it turns out. DA2
had some good elements (the Qunari were a rare case of retconning improving
things and the voice acting remained of a high standard) but it was clearly
rushed. There was little variation to areas, with the vast majority simply copy
and pasted. Likewise, the story lacked a central theme or sense of direction.
I like Dragon Age, so hopefully Inquisition will be a great
RPG.
