Watch This In-Depth Look at Character Creation in BioWare's Highly Anticipated Dragon Age: Inquisition

Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins' ongoing review of gaming and virtual world style

Dragon Age: Inquisition is one of the games I'm anticipating the most as we approach the end of the year, so naturally my eyes have been glued to the archive of the Inquisition stream that BioWare ran on Twitch.tv earlier today.

In addition to a little taste of the actual gameplay, the reason this stream is so very interesting is because it shows a pretty detailed slice of the game's character creation tools, with a particular focus on the Qunari. This is the first core Dragon Age game where the Qunari will be a playable race, so I've been eager to get a better look at what will differentiate them from the series' other more familiar races. I won't pretend the assortment of horns available is a surprise, but the variety and depth of the available skin tones certainly was...

They also spend some time exploring the options available for your run-of-the-mill human male, which I'll admit was far less interesting for me, but will still give you a good idea of what to expect.

You can watch BioWare's stream for yourself above, or over on Twitch.
