Finally bought the fancy schmancy deluxe addition of DA:I. It's certainly the best of the three and I'm enjoying myself thoroughly.
Any other fans of the series?

I have purchased Dragon Age Inquisition as a special present for my birthday, which is tomorrow. I'll probably play it for the first time at December seventeen or even later in the month, I am not sure yet... I am really curious about this game, everyone says it's great and I hope to enjoy it very much.
The only problem is that I'll be playing the PS3 version of the game, but apart of graphics that cannot be as good as they are in PC and the most recent consoles it's the same game anyway.
Please tell me more about the story and the setting of Dragon Age.
What is the first thing to do in the adventure? What type of character would be the best for a beginner that has never played any other Dragon Age game, to start with? Any tips and suggestions are welcome!
I'll be telling you everything about my adventures as the Inquisitor =)
I got it on sale for about $20.00, and am playing through right now. I'm going to have to break with everybody here and unfortunately state my opinion that Inquisition is, the weakest entry of the series.
First, purely from a technical standpoint, I have run into some serious bugs. I have had entire lines of dialogue become hopelessly mangled by some bizarre audio glitch that renders the speech entirely unintelligible when that glitch kicks in.
Second, when talking to characters about the past happenings, particularly what had happened to the Hero of Ferelden you played as in the first game, those characters gave entirely incorrect information as to that character, both gender and the fact that the character died at the climax in the first game (although I have played as both a male and female character, in all playthoughs they survive.) Probably trivial, I know, but seeing as how I am playing on the same system as my other game saves, it is distracting and definitely pulls me out of the game to hear the game-world history so thoroughly mangled (especially when relayed by a character who was there with the Hero of Ferelden.) Dragon Age II, for all the criticism it got (and some deservedly so) managed to get the established game-history correct if you had a completed gamesave.
As to the game itself, if really just feels like a large amount of random fetch-questing. "Find these supplies." "Mark these building sites." Stuff like that, unbefitting for someone who is supposedly referred to in-game with such reverence.
As to the characters, I am still in fairly early, but I just don't really care about them the way I did for the characters in the first two games (except Varric, he still rocks.) Maybe that will change as I advance through the story, but that's where I am right now.

Hello Tom!
It's great to hear that the PS3 version of D.A. Inquisition has been working fine for you. I am not sure what happens with this game, but for the moment I am not willing to risk playing it again in fear that it may crash and damage my PS3. Yes, the great crash happened during the first adventures of the game at the snowy mountains.
I hope that the game will continue to work excellent in your PS3, but this is what I discovered: Please Fix Dragon Age Inquisition. And right now I have found this also: Dragon Age Freezes.
Instead of risking damage to my PS3, I'll wait to play D.A. Inquisition in the PS4.
