Bioware has released a new screenshot for Dragon Age: Inquisition, showing for the first time the special UI that will be available on the PC version. As we can see, PC gamers will have a quickbar via which they can add 8 abilities to each of their characters. Do note that you can only assign 8 abilities (you can change them between battles) on each character, meaning that 32 abilities in total will be available during your battles.
As Mike Laidlaw claimed, Dragon Age: Inquisition is all about roles, planning ahead and making tactical decisions. This obviously means that players will have to choose wisely as potions, ability choice, gear, and party composition play a huge part to this latest part of the DA series.
Enjoy!

looks much like DA2 UI
Yeah and dosn’t that send a chill down your spine. Still it wasn’t so much the look as the substance of DA2 which annoyed me.
DA2 did some things i liked, keeping the distinct visual appearance of party members and the separate locations for them, it made them feel more like actual people rather than roadies.
The friendship/rivalry system was much better than DA1 bend-over backwards dialogue and point scoring gift manipulation, was much more granular as a system, you didn’t need 9 characters to all like you.
What i would like to see is a better mix of how characters you don’t use in your party interact with the story, so far the tactical combat has made it so to get deep and challenging gameplay, you need to only use a certain mix in a party and when you do that, anyone outside of the 3 companions, effectively disappear from the story.
I think Final fantasy does it a bit better, you often only have a few that sit in the combat party but everyone still get involved with the story.
It would need more work because final fantasy story-lines are more linear but i think it is workable in a dragon age game.
On lirst look is good for me.
why did they think the rhombus ui was good? shit is so ugly looking. they should have left square like origins. there was nothing good about the UI in dragon age 2, in fact, a graphics design 101 student could have done a better job at it.
I was about to say the same thing
looks good
I just hope they won’t forget about that a lot of people use gamepads on a PC. Bioware in Mass Effect assumed that all the PC gamers play games with a typing tool, so they ditched the conteoller support in a PC port and changed the UI, which was a huge mistake.
Yeah, that crap with Mass Effect was stupid. The point on PC is to have options, not be forced to play one way. Some of us play at our desks with k&m or at other times we play on our big screen tvs much like a console. We need to have full support for both options.
I tip my hat to you sir.
it support Controllers on PC, they said it on E3 (i guess it is their first title that supports controller on pc). the demo was running on a PC with X360 controller and they talked about it
Nice. It’s always good to have options. It’s one the biggest strength of the PC 🙂
of course
what? how? mass effect never had support for controller and it should stay that way, its a pc game, why should it have mandatory pad setup? mass effect plays better with a keyboard, a lot better and way more responsive. i dont get the whining about me3 not having a pad option. dragon age should not have it either
Go and read some info before posting next time. ME 2 and 3 have been ported from consoles. The xbox assets are still partialy there and can be unlocked by editing coalesced.ini. Unfortunately had been removed in ME3. And about you saying it plays better with keyboard, I would like to see you playing it with M/K on a 65inch tv and sitting confortably on a beanbag. 3rd person space rpg with aim assist where the story is more important than shooting is just better with the controller. I’ll never understand you mouse and keyboard fetishists.
Gamepads is the least worry here: The real issue is: Witcher 3 will kick the shit out of this faggot corruting of the youth
propaganda jew game so much that it will be fun to watch! For your 60 bucks
you will get: Half game, rest is DLC and microtransactions by EA jews.
Witcher 3 is a day 1 STRAIGHT UP 100 %, so there!
looks good
“8 abilities” 8slots is better than 4, at least it’s a good start, a little bit more work needed. game looks (i feel it) better than DA2, i hope it will be better than that s*it.
I haven’t really followed Inquisition much, does your actions from DA2 have consequences?
Witcher 3 will kick the shit out of this faggot corruting of the youth propaganda game so much that it will be fun to watch! For your 60 bucks you will get: Half game, rest is DLC and microtransactions by EA jew bastards (And fag propaganda). Witcher 3 is a day 1 STRAIGHT UP 100 %, so there! Witcher 3 is also not made by Christ killers (Or commonly known as Jewish kikes) scum.
Can this ignorant hatred get banned from here?
Cant kike be shown to the promised land ?!
First of all, you are not getting your point across better if you are swearing, second the multiplayer is totaly separate from the singleplayer, and i wont be touching it, third its beacuse of this multiplayer micros that have nothing to do with sp, which is the main reason people will buy the game, that the DLC is going to be FREE.
More importantly, there has been confirmation that the mouse and kb camera utilization will be the same as past DA games on PC. That means right mouse button panning, mousewheel zooming in and out (not locked into 3rd person like console), and virtually all key presses having dual functionality so you can basically play the game with only the mouse if you wanted to.
There were many people worried that the console-first production timeline would totally screw with the camera and what worked perfect for the first 2 games. Thankfully, Bioware isn’t that daft and that’s been resolved.
