Dragon Age III: Inquisition contains deeper customization, castles, large levels

[Blacksite]

Dragon Age 3 will bring back character customization to the series “in a big way,” and some the levels are going to be rather large, according to BioWare.

Speaking during a panel during the the Edmonton Comic & Entertainment Expo today in Canada, cinematic designer Jon Perry said “one level in Dragon Age 3 is as big as all of the levels in Dragon Age 2.”

Not be outdone in the guess-what-else-is-bigger department, creative director Mike Laidlaw added that “customization is going to be bigger than Dragon Age Origins,” and that players will also be able to customize their followers.

Players will also be able to control their own castle, and character choices from previous games will be importable. According to executive producer Mark Darrah, the team is looking into ways to do this “without save imports.”

Series writer David Gaider also added during the panel that players will be human, and that “backgrounds will be in Dragon Age 3 even though you will be human, it’s not playable but it does significant impact on the story.” We’re not too clear on that bit, but you can read the tweets from the game’s producer Cameron Lee yourself here.

Also, Flemeth the shapeshifter, known as ‘the Witch of the Wilds’ will be in the game in some capacity, because according to Laidlaw: “It feels wrong to not have a little Flemeth in your game.”

Dragon Age 3: Inquisition is slated for a late fall release in 2013.

Sounds good, apart from managing your own castle. But that's just me.

One lvl is as big as all the lvls in da 2? Not hard when it was just like 5 zones and two dungeon modles reused over and over lol

Yeah, "dungeons" is not something DA2 tried hard at, same rooms connected in different ways, and with alternative doors blocked off.
Despite the modellers laziness, I enjoyed DA2.
I just would never have paid full price for it it.
It cut some major modelling corners.

I got bored of DA2 about 2/3 in a just haven't gotten back to trying to finish it. Not sure if I'm ready or interested in another DA. Considering how much they changed to the detriment for DA2 and ME3 I sometimes wonder if maybe Bioware is following SquareEnix off the top of the RPG totem pole.
