‘Dragon Age: Inquisition’ gameplay looks at combat, choice, and consequence

By Adam Rosenberg Published December 2, 2014

It turns out that Dragon Age: Inquisition looks an awful lot like the previous Dragon Age games, though it’s much prettier, even when shakycam-captured off of a demo screen. BioWare showed off the footage at Finland’s Digiexpo (via Polygon), and the video comes from one attendee that was okay with holding up a camera for 30 minutes. Thanks nameless Digiexpo attendee!

The clip runs through some of the story, so consider this your spoiler warning. The Inquisitor and his followers pays a visit to a town that’s been attacked, and since the town is in league with the Inquisition, you’re there to help. The gameplay highlights exploration and combat as well as a bit of the series’ trademark focus on choice and consequence. There’s not much more to say than that; check out the footage below to see for yourself, and let us know in the comments what you think.

The emulator now handles Nexus Mods downloads and per-game profiles directly inside the app

GameNative is making it much easier for Android players to commit one of PC gaming’s oldest crimes against storage space. Its v1.1.1 pre-release adds Nexus Mods integration, cutting out much of the file shuffling usually required to get PC game mods running on a phone.

According to GameNative’s official release notes, users can sign in to a Nexus account and download mods through the app. Downloads can be paused and resumed too, so losing your connection shouldn’t force you back to the beginning.
