DA:I Thoughts for January Blogging Meme

violacea asked me to talk about three things I hope to see in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Sorry this is late!

Before I get started, a note on spoilers: I went into information avoidance mode for DA:I back in August. So I've seen the teaser trailer, read the Game Informer article, and am aware of pretty much everything that was common knowledge up to that point. I very purposefully did not look at the Game Informer releases that came out after the article, and have managed to miss most of the major revelations since. So it's entirely possible that the things I talk about here have either been confirmed or denied by developers. I might guess correctly, or I might be completely off track. Either way, I don't want to know. So please, if you have been following pre-release information, or even if you've just heard a rumor here and there, don't tell me about it in comments.

This may seem like a hard line to take, but I know for a fact that too many spoilers will interfere with my ability to set expectations. I'm happy to speculate about the upcoming game in general, but I don't want to have too much pre-release information while I'm doing it. Thanks for your understanding.

Okay, now that the disclaimer is out of the way, on to my actual answer to the question! :)
