Lord of the Rings meets The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion – this was my initial reaction upon hearing the opening score for Dragon Age: Inquisition, which is a VERY good combination. And while that impression was not to last, I’m in no way saddened by the turn that the game took. Veering back towards the traditional party-play that Dragon Age is known for, we were shown some of the first gameplay which showcases the title’s combat system, which can be seen below.

You’re not alone if some (all?) of those characters seem new. Luckily, we also got a brief first-look at who some of the playable party members will be.

But most importantly, nugs are back.

Below you can find a gallery of (admittedly poor) screenshots from the environments that we were shown. Click the thumbnails to see the full-size images.
