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.

Great job Sab. I knew that only perfection would result from your work. I may look into this game now.

[[SS]Rator]

[[SS]Sabotage]

[[SS]Wally]

[[SS]Shooter]

Nice work.

Did you have to rough up any other members of the crew there or get all like 'Come at me, bro!' with em? Bet you did and now they be all respectin' you and shit cause you're an OG.

[DatGuy]

good job dickface! been playing it on PC, its pretty good so far.

[[SS]Sabotage]

Thanks Wally! Thanks DG! Yeah shooter, we went at it. At least 40 minute wrestling session to show who's...willing to take more work haha.

[[SS]Midnight]

Nice Sa . My wife loves the series. She has played them all and for the last month all I heard from her every day was the count down to release.

[[SS]Skinman]

Just got through reading most of the guide. Really good stuff Sab.

[[SS]Sabotage]

Thanks brother, that means a lot.

[DatGuy]

I don't have the guide, but I'm dying to know...who does Sab say you should make the sexy time with?

[[SS]Sabotage]

Depends, what's your class/race make-up. It matters because it makes more sense in certain situations. If you're going for the bad ass "dayum that was cool" go with Iron Bull. Cassandra is "The Ideal Romance" and she's cool, but tricky. Everyone else just depends on your preference. I played a Female Qunari; her and Iron Bull had an exuberant amount of fun.

[DatGuy]

well, Im a female Dalish Elf Rogue...who do you choose for me oh mighty guide writing man?

[[SS]Sabotage]

You're playing the same build as my GF. Might just go with the Bull.
