I just finished my first Inquisition playthrough (as a female elven mage, romancing Solas). I love how this plays out with a Solas/Lavellan romance going (although I'm even more super mad about the party banter bug, however, because it's clear that I would have gotten so much more depth about Solas if I'd been hearing all his commentary. :'( I need to go back and take Solas exploring in the elven ruins some more; I couldn't be bothered gathering enough shards to get in very deep the first time around :P and see if I can get any more banter, too.

FWIW, the fix to always use the War Room fast travel to leave Skyhold/change party did work for me -- once I started doing that I got loads more banter. Also, if you are playing the game for the first time, I highly recommend do NOT spend too much time before you do the first two "major" quests tiny meaningless spoiler ) -- I ended up getting overleveled and doing too much, and I think it plays better if you spend roughly equal amounts of side-questing in between all four of the "big" pieces.

OK and now -- SOLAS. ALL THE SPOILERS below the cut for the overall ending and for Solas/Lavellan romance (SERIOUSLY DON'T CLICK UNLESS YOU ALREADY KNOW THE END)

(also please don't spoil me for the templar plotline or any of the other companion romances!)

(but please come talk to me about Solas omg)

solavellan spoilers and story idea rambling )

aaaaa, so many feelings! And now I get to start my playthrough of human warrior boy with a Dorian romance, and after that I think I'm going to do a bit of a wild, devil-may-care female rogue and split it into three romance paths with Iron Bull, Cullen, and Blackwall. Although the human warrior boy might go for Iron Bull, too. so many choices! \o/

Also hey where is the fandom other than the bioware forums? Is there a kinkmeme anywhere? (And if you want to throw me in particular any Solavellan prompts, the inbox is open although I make no promises!)

IN-GAME FOOTAGE from Dragon Age Inquisition, omg (it was taped off a screen at GamesCom 2013 so it's cam quality, but you can still see the quality of the visuals, and ohhhhh *___*).



Also they have brilliantly adopted as their own a tool that modders made for the last two games!

One of the awesome things about Dragon Age is that your choices affect the endgame outcome substantially, and they tried to build on that by having your Dragon Age: Origins choices affect the world in Dragon Age II. And of course there were issues -- bugs, if you didn't keep your save games, or you wanted to play as though a different outcome had happened, etc.

So people made tools that would build fake save games so you could pick and choose the backstory you wanted. And now Bioware has built the Dragon Age Keep, which will let players do exactly this, choose the exact backstory settings they want to load up into Dragon Age Inquisition.

I'm waffling hugely over whether to apply for the beta. I want to but realistically I don't have the time to really exercise it. :( But if any of you do, you should totally head over there and sign up to be let in early! (AND TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT.)
