Well when I did it with Titanfall it was the International edition, so I don't think that will be the case.

edit: Scroll to the bottom of the product page and see supported languages. Even on the Mexican site it says that all nearly all languages are available.

What's the reduced price supposed to be at? I seem to be getting the same price with Hula on/off (45 USD).

I bought the game off G2A but is it normal I didn't get a code to redeem the game right away?

edit: or do they send the key when it gets released?

Apparently the g2a customer service has no idea when they'll have the keys.

G2A is legit, they just don't have enough pull to get through publisher bullshit. That said there's no real reason to preorder from them, you mostly go there for their weekly sales.

When you approach it like that I suppose she has a lot of good points, but the book doesn't bear that out as much because the Templars are trying to dick things over anyway.

Still, these things happen and chatting will happen.

Agreed. Vivienne has some good points, mostly relating to how noble rebellion so often becomes pointlessly violent and that the mages have no real shot at fighting off all of Thedas with their small numbers, but the privileged life and connections makes her whole "perspective" speech hypocritical. Especially the way she glosses over every detail that doesn't paint he political opponents in a negative light. She really is a fantasy Republican.

Decided I'm going to make a male human warrior for my first playthrough. As dreadfully dull as that sounds, I think it just makes more sense for the character as I want my first run to be with a holier-than-thou prick who supports the chantry and the templars.

I'm making a Female Human Warrior, make look as close to Andraste as I can in CC, but play her as Anti-Chantry and an Atheist who hates being called the Herald of Andraste and who will help the Mages and Elves.

Yep. Seoul cuts off 14/15 hours from the US release time, and obviously days off the euro time, but that's the earliest.

Haha oh god apparently the Dragon Age: Inquisition - Inquisitor's Edition is full of dollar store junk: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/2mcqxe/dragon_age_inquisition_inquisitors_edition_very/

quote:

The items inside were all made from VERY cheap gray plastic. The map tokens, inquisition sigil, and lock picks were all the same basic gray cheapo plastic with very poor paint. They all felt like they would break with the slightest pressure. They were also a hell of a lot smaller than the picture on the box. The coins were poorly molded with a terrible paint coating. The quill and ink pot was nothing but a black plastic feather and an empty jar with a cork top....straight from the dollar store.

I haven't gone through them all so this is just from a Swede's point of view. The Digital Deluxe edition that costs $44,99 (with the Mexico VPN glitch) costs 699 Swedish Crowns (SEK) in the Origin store, which google suggests is the equivalent of $94,6. 699 SEK tends to be a standard price for vidya games around here, though PC games tend to be cheaper (I suppose I could buy the standard edition for 599 SEK). In other related news: I just used the VPN thingy.
EDIT: I'm a slowpoke.

Pretty much, but I can't help but think how irritated she is going to be when I broker a decent deal between the "rebel" mages with more overall freedoms than they had and the Templars having to vet their recruits a lot more.

So I had a problem with my previous preorder and got a refund, and I found insta-gaming when looking for another place to preorder.

At a first glance they seem totally legit. You can preorder Inquisition 33,47 euros. I paid via Skrill and haven't encountered any problems, so give it a try I guess?

Prices in Finland are usually not the worst I guess but for this game they are 60€ for regular and 70€ for deluxe so about 75 and 87 US dollars. I bought the regular version with a Mexican proxy and it ended up being around 33€ so almost half the price.

Here's a stupid question though, how do I know that stuff imported from the Keep actually work when I start DAI? Is there going to be a line somewhere in game thatt clearly states which world state I'm using?

I imagine similar to the Mass Effect games and DA2 there will be a menu to select an uploaded world state.

This Denuvo DRM, is it the always online type or what? I hear it described as needing a code that constantly changes in order to play the game, which to me sounds like it would be. Not being able to play a single player game because your internet is down or slow is the most backwards thing.

According to Bioware, Origin is the DRM. Denuvo is just used as an anti tampering tool on the executable. Something about 64bit encryption or kernel gobble gook.

Not that we console peasants have to worry about such elite matters.
