    [​IMG]IGN has a new fourteen minute gameplay demo video from Gamescom last week.

    ​

    BioWare stops by the IGN booth with a brand new demo of Dragon Age: Inquisition, live from Gamescom.​
    They also have a new article about the game's improved relationship system.

    Sex and relationships typically suck in video games. Relationships are about sustainability, commitment, and building something meaningful, but when it comes to romantic relationships in interactive stories, getting laid is typically the endgame.

    Not always, though, and that's something BioWare is learning from when it comes to improving relationships romantic, and platonic in Dragon Age: Inquisition.​
    Also here's a new interview with producer Cameron Lee on MMGN from Gamescom about how Frostbite changed Bioware's approach to development.

    MMGN: How have fan expectations changed for the genre? Do you find yourself trying to appease a different audience now than you were with the first Dragon Age?

    Cameron Lee: Wow. It's changed a lot. One of the most important aspects that's changed is that there's a broader expectation of what gamers want. Some players want really niche aspects of RPGs, some want action orientated RPGs, some want customisation. What we've definitely seen is the scope of what someone wants is very different compared to the days of the Gold Box series. It's like, 'Just give me an RPG!' and we knew what they wanted. I think that these days, RPG means different things for different people.

    MMGN: Bioware has been vocal saying this is the biggest Dragon Age yet. Has working with the Frostbite engine permitted you the flexibility to enhance the scope in the way you have?

    Cameron Lee: Definitely. In order to do something with what we're doing with Inquisition, the scope of it, the depth of it, it wouldn't have been possible on the previous engine. Like the Eclipse Engine, and Unreal and stuff like that.​
