Okay I just finished DA2. I feel very betrayed by everyone!!! but I liked the ending and I'm very glad Inquisition is coming out soon bc the ending was such a cliffhanger ;a;
edit: and I gained respect for Cullen as a character. He would have made a much better leader than Meredith from the start. Perhaps if Cullen had been the one in charge things would have ended with less death. I am so excited to see him in Inquisition.
I'm really hoping that these areas aren't just big to be big, because I'm almost done with the first "gameplay" video, and they look like a whole lot of nothing in this world. Big maps aren't good because they're big but because there's lots to see and do in that space.
I think that depends on the areas. From the other gameplay videos I saw, the worlds are big but full of things to do/enemies and so on, but they said at the beginning that the place they're going to visit is quite large and unpopulated. It makes more sense to have some places that are emptier than others - especially if you're in the middle of nowhere. I think that makes it more realistic too.
Also I am so hyped for all the different mounts they have in Inquisition. I fucking looooove that I will be able to ride a giant ass reindeer/moose creature around. Bioware made the best decision ever about that. Horses are awesome but nug-hippos and reindeer complete my life.
