Dragon Age: Inquisition Strategy Guide

[[SS]Rator]

Recently our own [SS]Sabotage has been working on some guides. Some digital work for Titanfall and BF4, but most recently Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Here's his writeup and some pics from the adventure, good work Sab!

Long nights full of taco bell, double-shot iced coffee, delirious laughter, and hilariously accurate voices; that all sounds like my normal daily life, however cram that all into 18 hour days of work and you have only the last couple months of my life. Back in May, writers David Knight and Alex Musa started their journey on putting together the official Prima Strategy Guide for a game that was released today, Dragon Age: Inquisition.

DA:I is the third installment of BioWare’s epic journey through a completely original fantasy world full of Dwarves, High-Dragons, Elves, Darkspawn, and much more. Sometime in August I received a call from Prima Games’ Associate Publisher, Andy, and Project Managers, Paul Giacomotto and Shaida Boroumand offering me an opportunity to join the project as the technical editor. Because I was and am a huge fan of the series, I gladly accepted the job and got straight to work.

When I arrived at the Prima office I met with the entire team, they sat me down and gave me the complete run down on what needed to be done and what had been done thus far. I was impressed with how much work had been put into the project already, but hardly surprised due to the amount of talent that the team had as a whole. Then, right away I had to get my feet wet with the game itself. I created a female Qunari Warrior, a new playable race to the Dragon Age series; if you have the guide you have definitely seen this character in the screenshots, and began.

For the next month, I did nothing but learn everything that I could about the game and took as many notes as humanly possible. This allowed for any questions or second opinions on strategy over the process of the studio’s game creation and changes that occurred in the process. The team and I, now joined by “Evil Drew” worked every day and pretty much every minute of those days all the way to the very last second of the deadline. The best part about this team was that they cared about what they were writing and it mattered whether we had every tiny detail included or that we covered what may seem insignificant to the average player. Between my old and newfound knowledge of Dragon Age series, and the rest of the team’s expertise, talent, stamina, and willpower, I am proud to tell you that my name is in the credits of the Official Prima Dragon Age: Inquisition Strategy Guide.

I would have never received the chance to even get eyes on this project without the support of my brothers, my Sea Snipers. Every single one of the [SS] were in full support of me and the entire time I always had the thought that I needed to make my clan proud. I can honestly say that I gave this project my all and even though my poor sleeping habits plummeted even further during this project, I would do it all over again today, especially because I couldn’t ask for a better crew and clan to be surrounded by.
