"At EA's Gamescom's press conference, BioWare's Aaryn Flynn said that in testing, a recent completionist playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition clocked in at 150 hours"
"BioWare Canada General Manager Aaryn Flynn proved Lee's point, telling Destructoid, "if you took on the story and nothing else, roughly 55 hours is the time we've achieved during our playtests.""
woo
I betting a depressingly large amount of this is running around their new giant maps to get places.
honestly, all else being equal, I prefer artificially large maps to small maps with the same amount of content. The illusion of size is one I find very easy to unconsciously accept, and I'd prefer it be that way.

Have they said anything about system requirements yet? I really cannot afford an upgrade right now but I also don't want to play it on 360/PS3 so I am hopeful that I'll at least meet the minimum.
What kind of PC do you have?
If you can run most 360/PS3 era games, you should be able to handle it since it's crossgen.
is the PC version on par with PS4/XB1, or 360/PS3?

I never had a problem with the outfit showing skin.
It fits Morrigan as a character. She uses sex as a powerful weapon and form of manipulation.
Certainly worked on my Warden. Now if Leliana or Wynne was walking around in it, yeah, it would be weird.
I always gave Dragon Age a pass for Morrigan's skin showing.
I mean, yes, it's an example of "oh hey how convenient that her character uses sex as a weapon and thus it's okay for her to be male eye candy", but unlike most games in Dragon Age's category, this attribute was not applicable to every single female character - Morrigan was an exception, and it's okay to ahve that, I think.

Depends on your PC I guess. The high end specs are probably just as good if not better than PS4/One.

Morrigan is awful for many, many reasons. Her showing some skin is the least of these.

I always thought Morrigan was sexy. With her smokey voice. A rocking hardbody paired with a preference for skimpy outfits. The ability to shapeshift. The playful witticism. Her casual sexual attitude. Awful is definitely not what comes to my mind. I loved Morrigan. She was great in the sack. Amongst lots of other things I liked about her.
What I'm saying is, I'd really like to hear some of your reasons why Morrigan is awful. Seems like a personal thing. She is a favorite of mine, and I'm sure the same holds true for the broad audience. I guess we must all be awful people too. Yours is a fringe opinion, and to elaborate on such a thing is only in good form.

The sociopathy, pathological lying, and inconsistent writing were definitely my main turnoffs.
But god damn this post is a little creepy.
How is the post creepy? Because he has an opinion that is so unlike yours? I think throwing the "creepy" word at someone without good reason is just rude as fuck. It's an internet fighting word, not merely an opinion.
-edit-
Nevermind, I get it now because of your helpful bolding. It's not that the post is "creepy" it's that you are engaging in shaming of male sexuality and calling someone a creep is a quick dirty way to do that.
I think perving on a videogame character to the extent that he did(see bolded comments) is creepy as fuck. If you like the character that's fine, different people have differing opinions, but publicly leering over her "rocking hardbody" "casual sexual attitude" and her being "great in the sack" is fucking gross and neatly sums up why I dislike Morrigan.
DA is a mature game for adults. It has sexual content in it. Saying that Morrigan has a great body (for a video game character) hardly the offense that you are making it out to be. I think puritanism is really gross but everyone gets to have their say.
(Also I feel the need to state, for the record, that Alistair is my one true video game love and I only cheated on him with Morrigan to save the world and our lives)
But she is still really sexy just between her voice and her attitude
I don't like Morrigan because she's a sociopath you aren't allowed to argue with.
I could only stomach multiple playthroughs of Origins because I could just leave her in the camp and never talk to her at all. I'm kind of worried about what i'm going to do if she's a required advisor in Inquisition. I'd really like to not get pushed to hammering the 'skip dialogue' key on my first playthrough of a Bioware game. Don't get me wrong, Claudia Black is great, but not even she can make that character bearable to me.

But what if she's become a better person and wants to make amends?
Theres atleast a 3% chance thats going to happen. Maybe a hard 2%.
I think people like Morrigan in real life (without the witchy powers obviously) inspire the exact same polar reactions in people. You either love them and are drawn to them, or find them repellant. Sociopaths are usually like this in reality. Intensely magnetic people who attract and manipulate some people, but others who pick up on something that's "off" about them will do almost anything to avoid them.
I've totally known people like this, who had little cult-like circles of friends who were more slavishly devoted to them than you would see in normal relationships, but people who weren't caught in that persons orbit tended to despise them, and the brutal efficiency with which discarded circle members were made outcast from their clique when the leader became bored or displeased with them.
There's a lot to dislike about Morrigan, but her physicality and sexuality aren't especially good reasons.

Hahahahaha what even? Public leering is creepy and makes me uncomfortable. I like talking about romance and sex, even in the context of DA, but tone is more than a little important, and specifically calling out her hot body and sexual skills comes across as shitty highfiving ones self over a sexual conquest which is a little objectifying, to say the least.

I have a much larger problem with weird male entitlement/MRA attitudes showing up in a largely sensible community that I enjoy reading on a daily basis, and in general I like to call out gross shit when I see it because sometimes a simple "hey, cut it out", can be very productive.

On the topic of male versus female sexuality, there's this recent viral video on youtube wherein an average guy asks 200 women outright for sex, with abysmal success. Even a deliberately unattractive woman would outperform any male counterpart easily, given the same task - except maybe for male celebrities, I'd guess.
Beneath the pretentions of the civilized life of ours, trying to mate with as many partners as physically possible is very much in the nature of men, and it's not been until rather recently, that it's become somewhat en vouge to say it's not. The modern man acts as he does despite himself. Just look at the supposed mating habits of gay men, which are infamous for their outgoing sexual proclivities. That's practically pure male sexuality, mostly uninfluenced by the female way of doing things.
I'd say most men would love if women acted like gay men supposedly do sexually. If we could simply order up a motivated nice young fit bird to a toilet stall to satisfy our urges, for free and with no strings attached, like some gay men supposedly do on Grinder - we'd like that, like a lot, and we'd do it all the time.
As for my supposed *creepy* post, I just like to be precise. I could just have written that I find her *sexy*, and leave all those supposedly creepy things unsaid. That said, I don't think that being precise is ever *creepy* - I don't believe in *too much information*. I believe in honesty and clarity, and the pursuit thereof - at all cost.

Because mine doesn't actively diminish the value of women or reduce men to instinct-based sexual predators, probably.

Back to Dragon Age, I can't read the latest writer interview about villains because the page doesn't work on my phone, are there any good snippets in there?
@Rainfall
(spoiler'd for length) I personally found these bits interesting
[DA]: Does seeing early concept art of the characters ever inspire your creation or spark any new ideas?
[DG]: It can. Sometimes, we'll have a concept artist such as Matt Rhodes sitting in on our concept meetings, and as we discuss ideas, he sketches away and actually has pictures for us to look at by the time we're done. Sometimes, they're pretty amazing and will make us incredibly excited at the possibilities.
[SF]: Definitely. The concept art is really when a character starts solidifying into a person. You ask why the character dresses the way they do, why they carry themselves with a certain posture, etc. Those questions need answers, so the threads start coming together.
[LK]: Oh, hell, yeah. Plenty of times, I've gone to one of our concept artists with a description, and they have hit back with something great I never would have suggested. Maybe they seized on a word I didn't mean to emphasize, or just bring their own unique understanding of an archetype. Or maybe it even seems "wrong" initially, but it makes me think about the character in a new way.
Not related to villains, but an early concept for Sera had dangly metal earrings (ultimately we didn't get them), and I was concerned that an archer would find them annoying. Then I pictured someone in-world asking Sera exactly that, and it helped define how she would react to critiques of her choices and what she likes. "No. Do they annoy you? (Shakes head vigorously.) It's like music!"
[DA]: Is your process for writing enemies the same for writing heroes, or do you have to approach them differently?
[DG]: Very differently. The story is largely from the hero's perspective, so you have to account for the villain's presence from that hero's viewpoint. The player is only aware of who the villain is and what they're doing insomuch as their character is aware of it, and you have to write the villain with the core idea of motivating the player to care about stopping them.
[SF]: It's complementary. You want an antagonist worthy of the hero and vice versa. They can't be separated out on a macro level without some consequences because that's usually the core of your drama.
That said, I think people "permit" some supervillain-esque characters to be more theatrical because that pompousness speaks to a tragic weakness in their own perceptions, which in turn makes them larger than life to those who cross them. And also because it's really fun.
[LK]: In a BioWare RPG, the "villain" is defined, and the "hero" is more of a blank slate.
The risk, then, is that the hero can be less relatable than the villain. I have to try to accommodate as many internal motivations for the player character as I can, stated and unstated. The motivation for the villain is always consistent, even if his or her actions have to adapt to the variables of the player character.
[DA]: In any story of good and evil, you have to have a powerful foe to stand in the hero's way. How would you describe the "Elder One" from Dragon Age: Inquisition in one word?
[DG]: Relentless.
[SF]: Let's go with "ambitious."
[LK]: Arrogance. Not "arrogant"—that's somehow not enough. He has a confidence born of absolute certainty that in his estimation no others can comprehend. He will do what needs be done.

That's practically pure male sexuality, mostly uninfluenced by the female way of doing things.
I'd say most men would love if women acted like gay men supposedly do sexually. If we could simply order up a motivated nice young fit bird to a toilet stall to satisfy our urges, for free and with no strings attached, like some gay men supposedly do on Grinder - we'd like that, like a lot, and we'd do it all the time.
As for my supposed *creepy* post, I just like to be precise. I could just have written that I find her *sexy*, and leave all those supposedly creepy things unsaid. That said, I don't think that being precise is ever *creepy* - I don't believe in *too much information*. I believe in honesty and clarity, and the pursuit thereof - at all cost.
What the fuck. This is gross. Please go to SE++ and read the feminism thread and hopefully gain a more healthy view of the world. Thanks.
Nah. Laura Bailey.
But I like that! You're thinking!
Totally rock hard body!
Link for you, since I think you need it. Please. Your attitudes are actively harmful to society and I would prefer they weren't.
A healthy view of the world is that there are countless ways to look at things. Why would my way be any worse than yours, or rather, why should yours be any better?
Because mine doesn't actively diminish the value of women or reduce men to instinct-based sexual predators, probably.
...Okay, yeah, I can see the appeal now.
(Also, I vote Laura Bailey. It never ceases to amuse me to hear the 'Wait, Jennifer Hale isn't in Saints Row 3 and 4?" conversations on gaming podcasts and the like.)
Why I fear the ocean.
I could listen to her read the phone book.

Because your way of looking at gender relations appears to be kind of shitty.
