The trailer shows off the game’s high speed driving and dynamic weather effects and consider its being produced for hardware that’s nearly a decade old, it looks beautiful.

Dragon Age Inquisition Trailer: Combat System.


 
By Sam Coles:
 
The guys at EA and Bioware are starting a short video series discussing the different aspects of their latest game Dragon Age Inquisition which will be aired leading up to the release date of November.
 
The first video they have shown off the combat system in great detail and how tactical it is by having a camera you can move through the battlefield when you’re engaged with the enemy. This seems to give you great flexibility because you can see things from a different angle and take a different approach to fighting if you see fit. If you are a more action orientated person like the Dragon Age II combat then don’t worry Bioware have catered for both audiences, the hardcore strategy fans and the high octane hack and slash for you blood thirsty warriors.
 
 
Each video they show off with the gameplay leaves more and more impressed as we edge closer to the release date of the game and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Dragon Age Inquisition is to release November 21st on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3 and PC.
