Dragon Age: Inquisition

Dragon Age III will be set in Thedas, the fantasy world in which the two previous games are set. The game will cover more geographic territory than its predecessors, with one map being described as four to five times the size of Ferelden, the setting of the first game in the series.

The plot will involve an all out war between mages and templars, the foundations of which comprise the main plot of Dragon Age II. Also, along with the larger world, the player will be able to travel to places as far as Orlais and Tevinter to calm or encourage the fighting.

BioWare is planning on fusing elements of both earlier games in the series, Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II, into the creation of Dragon Age III.

Combat is also expected to differ somewhat from its predecessors and focus more on a player's ability to prepare, position and form a cohesive team with his or her party members, requiring fewer repetitive finger strikes but better thinking.

Ray Muzyka, BioWare's CEO, said in an interview with Wired.com that Dragon Age III would be influenced by more open world games, such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which BioWare is "checking out aggressively."

"The elves trusted that the world as it was would never change. This rubble is the legacy of that trust. Empires fall, and regimes change, Inquisitor. Do make sure you’re still standing when the dust clears." - Vivienne de Fer

"If you love a character, you give them pain, ruin their lives, make them suffer. Maybe even throw in a heroic death." - Varric Tethras

"You know I hate the aristocracy as much as you do. I hate that they sit in palaces sipping wine while people starve outside their gates. I hate that good soldiers die in senseless wars over who gets the fancy chair. Still, it’s better to have the nobility on your side than not. They’re dogs, all of them, and even the primped and powdered ones have teeth." -Blackwall

"Damn it! We save Ferelden, and they're angry! We save Orlais, and they're angry! We close the breach twice, and my own hand wants to kill me! Could one thing in this fucking world just stay fixed?!"

"I wouldn't put on a show, marry the girl, keep everything unsavory private and locked away. Selfish, I suppose. Not to want to spend my entire life screaming on the inside." -Dorian

"Beg that I succeed, for I have seen the throne of the gods and it was empty." -Corypheus

"It doesn't matter that they won't remember me, what matters is that I helped." -Cole.

"Take moments of happiness where you can find them, the world will take the rest." -Ameridan

"Go as you must, as must we all, but know that the only thing worse than a faith broken, is a faith untested." -Mother Giselle

"That's the world. Everything you build, it tears down. Everything you've got, it takes—and it's gone forever. The only choices you get are to lie down and die or keep going. He kept going. That's as close to beating the world as anyone gets." - Varric

"You have done the People proud, and have come far." -Mythal

Trivia:

• Corypheus remarks that since he awoke he doesn't feel the presence of Dumat (First arch-demon/silence) - when he recites the old Verses of Dumat, he hears no whispers, no commands. Although he has disavowed Dumat and the other Old Gods throughout his campaign to attain godhood in his own right, in the Elder One's dying moments he desperately calls out to Dumat one final time. The former High Priest is met with utter silence.
