Dragon Age Inquisition Release Date, Companions, Gameplay, Trailer: Bioware Producers Talk About Skyhold, Preview Character Companions [VIDEO

"Dragon Age Inquistion" has a release date of November 18, 2014, and it is shaping up to be Bioware's most ambitioutous game yet.

"Dragon Age 2" was one of Bioware's worst reviewed games, which would be most companies mid level games. This was in part because they developed it very quickly. This time around they aren't taking any chances and have delayed the game from its origonal October release date.

In a new interview with Game Informer, creative director Mike Laidlaw and producer Cameron Lee gave some details about 'Skyhold,' the castle which will serve as home base for the Inquisition that the player will lead in the game.

"Over time, as you progress through the story, you get to see it rebuilt and more areas open up. It goes from 'kind of wrecked castle' to 'your castle.' The walls are fixed. Your soldiers are patrolling. You see your support staff growing in number. Merchants come to set up station. You get that feeling of it becoming a grand, central hub."

Skyhold will also contain your war table, which is a lot like the war room in "Mass Effect 3"

"The war table is your central command. You get the sense that that the things you're doing - from throwing little rocks in the pond to tossing a boulder now and then - the war table tells the story of the Inquisition's growth and helps you, as commander, make decisions... You start feeling like you have this massive influence throughout the world, and you get these detailed reports back from your advisors."

There also will be a bunch of new followers that can join your team.

Blackwall is a Grey Warden Constable. He is described as a devoted follower of his creed, a man who underwent the Joining voluntarily. Also, he likes dogs.

Then there Cassandra Pentaghast, who is a Nevarran Seeker, the famed Hero of Orlais and the Right Hand of the Divine. Cassandra is a character who has appeared previously in Dragon Age 2 and was the star of the "Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker." She is also a warrior and an avid hater of mages, as anyone invlovd with the Chantry tends to be.

Next up is Cole, a Spirit and the Ghost of the White Sphere. He is some form of human that lingers between the realms of the real world and the Fade. Thought by some to be a demon in disguise.

Finally there is Vivienne: an Orlesian mage and Enchanter to the Imperial Court. She transfomred her position under the Orleasean Empress Celene from court jester to advisor.

The game will also include a dwarf, two elves, a man, and a Qunari named Iron Bull as potential companions.

Again, "Dragon Age Inquistion" has a November, 18th release date. Check back for more information as we get closer to the release date.
