Dragon Age fans have eagerly been awaiting Dragon Age: Inquisition E3 updates from the conference and were left wanting more after a chat with the game's executive producer Mark Darrah, since the game is the biggest yet and there's tons to cover. At E3 2014, Darrah discussed some of the new mechanics, classes and changes to gameplay, which will include a more open world where players can roam freely.
Since choice-making has been a huge part of previous versions of Dragon Age, players will be able to import previous game states with the cloud-based Dragon Age Keep. Gamers can also look forward to 40 major endings and more romance options than ever before. In combat, different types of dragons will be the most fearsome predators and it will also be possible to target specific body parts in an attack. BioWare announced Dragon Age: Inquisition will be released on October 7th.
