Dragon Island is an island situated off the Storm Coast .

  • 2 Involvement
  • 4 Hostile creatures
  • 5.1 Dragon Hunter
  • 6.2 Leather

Background [ ]

This region is home to scores of dragonlings that roam the island without fear of outside influences. The island's peak features an unreachable cavern surrounded by two massive Paragon statues. It is unknown what the dwarves of old may have used the island for, or if the cavern's opening is connected to a Deep Roads entrance or perhaps even a forgotten thaig . Travelers and explorers however, avoid the region out of fear of what lurks further inland preventing additional exploration.

Involvement [ ]

The Inquisitor can gain access to Dragon Island after storming the Red Templar stronghold in Daerwin's Mouth . The island can be accessed through a row boat found at the cave's exit on the north shore. Once the port at Daerwin's Mouth has been cleared out from Red Templar activity the corresponding landmark will shift from a point of interest to a fast travel marker labeled with the town icon on the player's map.

To access Dragon Island the Inquisitor must complete the war table operation Red Templars on the Storm Coast and the side quest Red Water . The row boat that will provide transport is located on the shoreline of the furthest most section of the region; however, to interact with the rowboat all Red Templars need to be taken out of commission.

Tips to get you started in Dragon Age: Inquisition

Dying too much in dragon age: inquisition here are some tips to get you started.

dragon age inquisition getting started guide review screenshot win32 0025 final wm

It is, in a word, daunting. This isn’t a game you just dive into. You soak it in, really take the time to learn how everything works and, more importantly, how to make it work for you.

The good news is, we’ve done the tough stuff already. We’ve made mistakes and learned from them. And after more than 100 hours spent wandering around Thedas, we’ve got some handy tips to help you get your fledgling Inquisition off the ground.

ABC (Always Be Clickin’)

Here’s a handy tip that you’ll be making use of all throughout  Dragon Age: Inquisition . As you weave your way through the game’s assorted exploration spaces, make sure to click the left stick on your controller after every few paces. It’s bothersome at first, but it quickly becomes second nature.

  • Ahead of Dragon’s Dogma 2, you can get the first game for $5 right now
  • The next Mass Effect gets a new teaser on N7 Day
  • The Sims 4 is going free-to-play and you can get extras if you bought it already

Why? Clicking the left stick releases a sonar-style ping — visualized as an expanding circle that issues forth from your character — highlighting any objects in the surrounding environment that you can interact with, including dropped loot and treasure chests. If you click the stick and hear a high-pitched tone in response, there’s something nearby. If you don’t hear the tone, it’s all clear.

The ping also highlights the silhouette of any nearby interaction-friendly objects in bright yellow, and identifies them with text on the screen if you’re close enough. It also never lies. If you hear the ping but don’t see the yellow silhouette, try panning the camera slowly around in a circle. Look high and low. Change position even. Sometimes, little scraps of paper highlighted in yellow are hard to spot.

The ping is gospel though. If you hear it, there’s something of interest that you should check out. Just make sure it’s not a ladder or some other fixed object; those get highlighted, too.

Make your own Inquisitor

Ahh, character creation. You know how this goes. The face/body modeling stuff is purely cosmetic; how your character looks has no impact on the story or gameplay. The race that you choose — human, elf, dwarf, or Qunari — is more important, with different racial benefits applied at the outset and certain minor aspects of the story shaped according to your choice. Nothing that bars access to parts of the game, but the residents of Thedas respond differently to each race.

As far as racial bonuses go: Humans get a bonus ability point to start the game with; Elves have a 25-percent bonus to their ranged defense; Dwarves get the same bonus, but for magic defense; and Qunari get a 10-percent bonus to their melee defense. There are also three classes — Warrior, Rogue, and Mage — the former two of which further break down on your initial choice into a pair of specializations: Warriors can go with Sword & Shield or Two-Handed and rogues can go with Archer or Double Daggers.

While you’re stuck with whichever race and class you choose for the entire game, the warrior and rogue specializations merely inform your starting abilities and weapons. There’s nothing to stop a warrior that started with a “Sword & Shield” focus from moving into the two-handed skill tree. Doing so limits your ability usage — if you switch from wielding a one-handed axe and shield to a two-handed maul, the skills from the former tree won’t be available again until you go back to using a weapon/shield combo — but each class also has more support-oriented trees that complement any class.

Humans are a good choice for any class. The bonus ability point is more of an early edge than a long-term gain, but it’s handy when you’re just starting out.

Elves, with their ranged defense boost, are best suited for mage and ranged weapon-focused rogues. Those classes usually camp at the fringes of a battle, raining fire on enemies while supporting allies, and as such they tend to draw a lot of fire themselves from ranged attackers, archers and mages. The boost to defense increases the survivability for these low-HP classes.

Dwarves are actually barred from becoming mages, the only race in  Dragon Age: Inquisition that carries such a penalty. It’s too bad, as the magic defense bonus could be a handy thing for a practitioner of magic. Dwarves make ideal warriors, particularly the one-handed weapon/shield variety. Complement your skill points spent in that tree with some investment in the Vanguard tree, particularly the Challenge skill and anything that increases your threat level. A capable shield-user is virtually unkillable in combat, so you want your warrior drawing as much attention as possible.

Qunari are great warriors as well, particularly the two-handed focus. The extra melee defense that you get helps to offset the fact that two-handed weapon-wielders are more of an offensive force than defensive force. Qunari players should also consider pursuing the rogue’s Double Daggers specialization. Coupling that with stealth abilities makes the Qunari rogue a potent front-line attacker, with the added benefit of being able to absorb more close-quarters damage than your average rogue.

Stay classy

Regardless of how you choose to specialize, each character class fills a basic role that should be familiar to any longtime fan of elaborate role-playing games and MMORPGs.

  • The warrior is your tank class, capable of taking all the damage and drawing all the attention.
  • The rogue is your damage-per-second (DPS) class, someone who should always take a rearguard or flanking position so they can spit out an uninterrupted stream of damaging attacks.
  • The mage is a support class, with spells that inflict status effects or provide bonuses.

Now to be clear, it’s not  quite that segmented in  Dragon Age: Inquisition . A warrior doesn’t have to assume a tank role, though the class’s offensive capabilities make it more of a close-range attacker by definition. Warriors that focus on two-handed skills and the Battlemaster tree, for example, fall more into the realm of damage-dealers with support capabilities.

All that said, it’s useful to think in terms of those traditional tank/DPS/support roles as you build out the characters in your party. It’s possible to let the game auto-level the Inquisitor’s companions, but your best bet is to apply all skill points yourself, both to know what each character can do and to tailor your various adventuring parties in a way that each character’s abilities address the weaknesses of others.

One other important point to keep in mind for would-be mages: There is no healing spell in  Dragon Age: Inquisition . Mages can eventually unlock “Revival” to bring back downed allies, but all health restoration in the game is handled by potions. We’ll cover how that works below.

Hunting and gathering

Exploration is a huge part of  Dragon Age: Inquisition . The basic flow works like this: You venture into one of the 10 open world regions and complete any number of quests that you find there, earning Power points as you go. “Power” is a form of currency in  Inquisition , one that you spend on unlocking both story quests and new regions to explore.

The availability of the different regions is dictated by the story. Some of the later environments that you unlock are just too unfriendly to low-level players. Even early on, a location like Storm Coast — the second region you’re able to unlock — shouldn’t be jumped into right away. Take your time. If you go somewhere and you’re getting slaughtered with every step, you probably shouldn’t be there yet.

In every new region, you should prioritize tackling the “discover new camps” mission. Camps are fast-travel locations in  Dragon Age: Inquisition ; they’re not the only fast-travel points (certain towns and other points of interest are as well), but camps are where you can go to refill your potions, change up your party, and turn in requisitions. It’s possible to fast-travel  from any location, so long as you’re not in combat or restricted by the story.

Potions are the only source of healing in  Inquisition . You’re able to carry as many as eight at the start of the game, to be shared among your entire party. Fast-traveling to a camp or resting in one of the tents you find will refill your potions. Camps therefore make good rally points to fan out your exploration. The world can be a brutal place, especially early on, so expect to visit camps frequently to recover your potions.

Requisitions are simple material gathering quests that, once completed, bestow some benefit or another. Usually Power. Each region has its own, specific set of requisitions based on the materials that can be found in that location, but there are others that come up as well. There’s a requisition table at every camp, as well as one in the Inquisition’s main base, and you can turn in completed requisitions at any of those locations, even if they’re not for the region you’re currently in.

Between requisitions and crafting — which we’ll cover in a future guide — it’s a good idea to always grab any crafting materials you spot while you’re exploring. There is no such thing as too many. Crafting materials don’t take up space in your inventory, and they’re useful both for completing requisitions and piecing together new gear/gear upgrades. Running an Inquisition isn’t all sword-swinging and spell-slinging; you’ve got to farm as well, and farm a whole lot.

Life during wartime

Running around, adventuring and doing hero-y things, is only part of your job as Inquisitor. There’s also a whole army to run! Whenever you return to the Inquisition’s base, make sure to spend some time at the War Table. Here, your top three advisors gather — a general, a diplomat, and a spymaster — and together, you survey the map and decide on how to exert your growing influence.

The War Table is where you go to spend Power on unlocking story quests and new regions, when they’re available. You can also dispatch your people on Operations, which are hands-off activities that you delegate to one of your three advisors. Each Operation takes a certain amount of real-world time to complete (it usually varies according to the advisor you assign).

For the most part, these Operations serve as narrative color, with little impact on the larger game. You sometimes get rewards, in the form of gear or a boost to your Influence (an in-game stat that we’ll cover momentarily). Other times, one Operation begets another. It’s worth your time to read what each one is all about, and how each advisor plans to address the situation. Again, there’s no material impact on the larger game, but it’s a good way to better immerse yourself in the fiction of  your Inquisition.

Lastly, let’s talk about Influence. Think of it like it’s XP, except for your entire Inquisition. As you earn more Influence, the Inquisition’s rank levels up, and each new level earns you a perk that you unlock at the War Table. Perks spread across four different categories and they apply passive bonuses to your larger game. Some unlock new dialogue options, others give you more direct character-level enhancements.

Secrets is a tempting category to start with, since you can unlock a perk that allows your rogue to pick Masterwork locks after you’ve invested four points in the category. That’s definitely handy, as it opens up access to more loot than you’d otherwise get, but it’s not the best thing to prioritize. Look instead at the perks that increase your inventory capacity or potion capacity. The merchant/crafting perks are good picks as well if you expect to be doing a lot of shopping and/or crafting, though that’s better for the mid-game. Start with the inventory/potion capacity boosts and go from there.

BioWare shared a quick update on its next entry in the Dragon Age franchise, Dragon Age 4, in a blog post on its site. Development on the game is going well, says the developer, and is currently "right in the middle of production."

https://twitter.com/bioware/status/1496546668191358978

If players want to try out the next entry in the Dragon Age franchise on console, they'll have to get their hands on a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S. According to a report from VentureBeat's Jeff Grubb, Dragon Age 4 will be a next-gen only title, marking it as one of few major third-party releases to ditch the PS4 and Xbox One entirely.

The Next Dragon Age Official Teaser Trailer - 2020 Game Awards

Anthem should have been a slam dunk, or at least that’s what EA was banking on. The live service title, which replaced Destiny’s space wizards with flying robots, was meant to be a long-term game that would keep players engaged for years. With tons of loot to collect and an ambitious content road map, plus the talented team behind Mass Effect at the helm, it seemed like EA couldn’t fail … until it did.

After launching to middling reviews, the game quickly failed to meet EA’s lofty sales expectations. EA CEO Andrew Wilson quickly conceded that the approach wasn’t progressing as intended, telling GameDaily: “The promise was we can play together, and that's not working very well.” One year later, BioWare got to work on a total overhaul meant to revive the game’s player base, but now, one year after that effort, EA has shuttered the project entirely.

Dragon Age Inquisition guide and walkthrough: Crestwood sidequest

There's plenty of small quests to complete in Crestwood. Let us help.

dragon_age_inquisition

You’ll need a power level of 8 to access Crestwood. During the main quest From the Ashes, talk to Varric in Skyhold to trigger a cutscene, then make your way to the war room, highlight the Ferelden area, and choose Find the Warden in the centre.

After arriving at Crestwood, check in with the mayor to pick up the Still Waters quest as you can get a number of other quests done while completing it. You should also pick up the Naturalist and Homecoming quest from the NPCs in town to be super efficient.

Holding Crestwood

Description: Establish camps to hold Crestwood and support Inquisition activity in the region. Reward: +100 Influence, +1 Power Level Requirements: None Starting NPC: Scout Harding

Objectives: Establish two camps

You need to set up 2 camps in Crestwood. The first will be the camp that you arrive at and you can follow the waypoint to the second.

Still Waters

Description: Undead have terrorized Crestwood since a Fade rift appeared in the lake. There must be a way to close it. Requirements: Unlock the Crestwood area Reward: +1,934 XP, +400 Influence, +3 Power Level Starting NPC: Scout Harding

Objectives: Help Crestwood fight back the undead Speak to Crestwood’s mayor Claim the keep to reach the dam Enter the building on the dam Unlock the door to reach the controls and drain the lake Find an entrance to the Flooded Caves Enter the Flooded Caves under Old Crestwood Close the Fade rift Inform the mayor that the rift is closed

Once you arrive at Crestwood and watch the cutscene, talk to Scout Harding, then follow the waypoint to the southeast for the Still Waters side quest. Along the way, we’ll gather a number of other side quests to save a lot of faffing about later, but won’t go into too much detail on them, so refer to the individual entries on each side quest for more information.

When you reach the town, save the villagers outside and enter the main gate. Enter the first house on the left to find Gauld who will give you the Naturalist quest. Exit the house, pop around the corner and head up the stairs to the map marker for Still Waters.

Enter the house and talk to the mayor, starting off the Capturing Caer Bronach side quest, then follow the Still Waters waypoint to the south of the village and at the fork in the road, foloow the left path toward the cave and landmark, which you can loot and claim, then continue to the southwest and you’ll eventually happen upon a keep that you need to clear out for the Capturing Caer Bronach side quest (see the entry for this side quest for more details).

Continuing with the Still Waters side quest, get to the top of the keep and follow the map marker through the door, down the corridor to the right, up the stairs and on through the necxt doorway. Now you’re outside, carry on heading down the southwest path until you see the sign for Old Crestwood, then go left and into the tavern. Chat to the villager then pop into the room on the first floor and go through door at the other end and interact with the wheel to initiate a cutscene that will decrease the water level.

Return to the Old Crestwood sign and make your way north until you spot a rift over to the left, then head towards it. Kill the enemies, close the small rift and loot the area before going north again, and you’ll soon come to a landmark and a small hovel you can loot. Resume your journey north and you’ll reach an astrarium.

If you want to complete the astrarium, start off in the central triangle, at the left middle point. Go down and around to the peak of the centre triangle, then move to the left and the outer triangle, circling around to the peak of the middle triangle. Now move to the right and the outer triangle to finish up.

When you’re ready to resume the Still Waters side quest, keep heading north to the waypoint until you reach Old Crestwood. There’s a demon in a house in the centre of the town and you can speak to it to pick up the Burdens of Command side quest. While you’re here, look for the piles of corpses to wrap up the side quest Homecoming.

Make your way to the Flooded Caves to the north and follow the central path once you’re inside. Light up the torches as you progress and at the waterfall, pop down the path to the left to grab some loot and go around to the right path for a chest.

When you’re ready, retrace your steps and take the path leading to the lower area of the cave and when the path splits, go right, kill the enemies and pick up any loot, then continue down the tunnel to the right at the end of the room to find a chest and item. Return to the room you just came from and continue down the path that leads deeper into the cave. You will eventually come to a door on the left with a torch on either side of it. Ignore it for now, and instead enter the room to the right of it. When you enter, to your immediate left will be a corridor that you can follow to the end to find a mosaic piece. Double back to the outside of the room with the 2 torches outside. You’ll notice a breakable wall to the right, so have your warrior smash through to find crafting materials and a ladder that you can climb down to more crafting mateials, loot and a mosaic piece.

Return to room we’ve been ignoring and head inside to find the rift. You’ll face 3 waves of enemies before you can close it. Once this has been done, grab any loot, pop across the hall, through the northeast door and over the water, up the steps and finally, up the ladder.

There’s a lever at the end of the path that will open the door here, so pull it, go through and follow the path to exit the cave. You’ll pop out next to another rift surrounded by enemies, including a Rage Demon relating to the side quest Burdens of Command, so clear them out, close the rift and make your way west until you’re able to head south.

You’ll soon find yourself back at Crestwood Village, so return to the mayor’s house and read the letter inside to finish the quest.

Capturing Caer Bronach

Description: Bandits known as the highwaymen have occupied Caer Bronach. Without the fortifications of this legendary keep for protection, the villagers of Crestwood and the surrounding area are left exposed to undead plaguing the region. Reward: Gain control of Caer Bronach Requirements: None Starting NPC: Mayor of Crestwood

Objectives: Take back Caer Bronach

Talk to the mayor of Crestwood Village to pick up this quest and follow the path for the Still Waters side quest until you reach the keep. Attack the enemies at the gate, then proceed inside and kill the enemies here. Make your way up the staircase to the side and into the corridor that leads to the the courtyard, where you’ll be attacked again.

Continue up the stairs and around to the left and go straight on through the next 2 doors. Head to the opposite side of this area, pop through the door to the right and take a quick detour into the next room to restock your supplies. Head up the stairs and get ready for 2 waves of enemies, with the Highwayman Chief leading the second one.

The Highwayman Chief is weak against electricity, while physical effects won’t have much of an impact. You’ll want to get the barrier spells on the go as his hits pack a punch. Kick his butt, then continue ahead to the map marker and capture the keep to finish the quest.

Burdens of Command

Description: A spirit in Old Crestwood has a task for you. Reward: +512 XP, +200 Influence, +2 Power Level Requirements: Drain the lake engulfing Old Crestwood Starting NPC: Wraith in Old Crestwood

Objectives: Destroy the rage demon in the Flooded Caves Inform the spirit in Old Crestwood of the demon’s demise

You can find the demon in a dilapidated house in Old Crestwood, and should’ve bumped into him while trekking through the Still Waters side quest. Make your way to the Flooded Caves and hand a can of whoop ass to the Rage Demon in here before reporting back. While you’re in the cave, you can attend to the Still Waters side quest so take a look at the details for the that quest in the Flooded Caves area.

Description: Sister Vaughn wants to cremate the bodies of people lost in a flood 10 years ago. Reward: +512 XP, +200 Influence, +2 Power Level Requirements: Talk to the Mayor of Crestwood Starting NPC: Sister Vaughn

Objectives: Find three piles of bodies Return the remains to Sister Vaughn

After your initial pow wow with the Mayor in Crestwood, seek out Sister Vaughn in the village and talk to her. Jumping ahead to Old Crestwood where you’ll be poking around for the Still Waters quest, search the ruined buildings to find the 3 piles of bodies and report back to Sister Vaughn.

Description: A man in Crestwood is concerned that a friend of his, Judith, isn’t safe living outside of town. He’d appreciate someone checking up on her. Reward: +128 XP, +80 Influence Requirements: None Starting NPC: Gauld

Objectives: Check up on Judith

During Still Waters you’ll have been given the opportunity to talk to Gauld while in Crestwood to start this quest. Near the end of the Still Waters quest, you’ll be in the vicinity of Judith, so just follow the waypoint to find and check up on her. Talk to her again to initiate the Wyrm Hole side quest.

Description: An aggressive wyvern is harassing Crestwood’s villagers. It lives in a cave up in the hills. A woman named Judith outside of town seems interested in the body if someone manages to kill it. Reward: +242 XP, +80 Influence Requirements: Complete the side quest Naturalist Starting NPC: Judith

Objectives: Kill the cave wyvern Return to Judith

After locating Judith for the Naturalist side quest, talk to her again to begin this quest. Make your way north, dropping in at the camp to restock and rotate a mage into your party if you don’t already have one, then follow the map marker to the cave.

Deal with the enemies outside and inside of the cave and continue towards the pool. The wrym will be there with a number of other enemies, so as usual, pick off the weaker monsters first, then focus your attacks on the wyrm. Ice spells will serve you well during this bout. Report back to Judith to finish off the quest.

High Stakes

Description: Leliana’s “eyes and ears” in the region, a spy named Charter, mentions that her man Butcher seems to be running a little behind. Reward: +128 XP, +80 Influence Requirements: Claim the Caer Bronach Keep Starting NPC: Charter

Objectives: Find Butcher Inform Charter of Butcher’s fate

Use fast travel to get to Caer Bronach and talk to Charter who will be marked on the map.To save time, use fast travel once more to zap over to the second camp you established in the area, then set out southeast to arrive at a collection of big rocks. Poke around here to find Butcher, and retrieve the note from the corpse to initiate an ambush.

Kill the enemies and head back to Charter to finish off the quest.

Weeding Out Bandits

Description: A handful of highwaymen remain on watch at farms around Crestwood and should go the way of their brethren in the keep. Reward: +128 XP, +80 Influence Requirements: Claim the Caer Bronach Keep Starting NPC: Agent at the Caer Bronach Keep

Objective: Kill all eight bandits

After laying claim to the keep, talk to the agent here to start the quest. Follow the waypoint and find and defeat all 8 of the bandits to complete the quest.

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf Can't Leave the Original Games Behind Entirely

Dragon age: the veilguard confirms romance details, dragon age: dreadwolf gets new title and reveal date.

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is the next title in BioWare's acclaimed Dragon Age franchise, and while not much has been revealed yet, several leaks and rumors suggest one big change coming to the franchise. If the leaks are true, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf will feature more action-oriented combat like God of War than the combat Dragon Age has been known for in the past. Of course, each Dragon Age game has changed its combat system, so this is to be expected. Still, ARPG-style combat would be quite a departure from the norm for Dragon Age . Assuming this information is accurate, one might wonder which direction BioWare's Mass Effect series might be heading in next.

Unlike the Dragon Age franchise, which has seen a change in combat with every game, Mass Effect 's combat has stayed true to its roots. Apart from some smaller changes to skill usage, general fluidity, and quality of life, Mass Effect 's combat system has essentially stayed the same throughout each installment. As such, perhaps it's time for the next Mass Effect game to feature combat similar to Dragon Age: Dreadwolf 's rumored combat system, if only to shake things up for once and start a new era of Mass Effect for modern audiences.

Despite BioWare's best efforts to welcome new players, it may not be possible to separate Dragon Age: Dreadwolf from the previous Dragon Age games.

Mass Effect's Combat Could Transition With Dragon Age: Dreadwolf

Mass effect has always been a cover shooter.

Since the first Mass Effect game in 2007, the series' combat has remained the same, following the design and mechanics of a typical cover shooter like Gears of War . This style of combat generally allows players to strategically plan their next move, especially when time-altering mechanics are implemented that either slow or pause the flow of combat when a weapon or skill wheel is opened and give players plenty of time to choose their next action.

For the most part, this combat style has served the Mass Effect series well, though the first game's combat was very clunky and unresponsive before Mass Effect: Legendary Edition revamped and updated it. However, like turn-based combat , the cover shooter formula may be too old-fashioned for some modern audiences, so the series may need a change in Mass Effect 4 .

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf's Rumored Combat Change Could Be What Mass Effect Needs

In the increasingly fast-paced modern world where higher speeds, in general, are demanded almost everywhere, video games are evolving along with those demands and offering players mechanics that suit the needs of those looking to be instantly gratified by a game's loading times and input responsiveness. Final Fantasy 16 is a perfect example of this, as it is the first mainline Final Fantasy game to feature fast-paced action combat, as opposed to the turn-based system the series was previously known for.

This drastic change divided the Final Fantasy fanbase, but Square Enix backed it up by clarifying its intentions to deliver an experience that younger audiences could enjoy. From what the developer understood, younger audiences crave fast-paced action above the slower, more intentional movement of turn-based combat. This is why Dragon Age: Dreadwolf 's rumored combat change makes sense, and it may do Mass Effect some good to consider the same.

Mass Effect 's cover shooter mechanics may not move as slowly as turn-based combat, but it still lacks the engagement that true action combat can provide. Of course, shifting from cover-based mechanics to action would essentially exchange the defense provided by cover for blocks and dodges, but it could fit well in the Mass Effect franchise, especially if BioWare is aiming to take Mass Effect 4 in an entirely different direction than before.

Since it may be a good idea for Mass Effect 4 to distance itself from the original trilogy after all these years, perhaps it could use Dragon Age: Dreadwolf 's rumored combat change as an excuse to change as well. This would see BioWare taking its two biggest franchises in the same direction for a more cohesive move of progress for the developer.

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is the fourth game in the franchise, serving as a direct sequel to the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition. Players will attempt to stop Solas from tearing down the Veil, among other possibly major plot points. Its events see players travel to Tevinter, the Anderfels, Rivain, and Antiva.
