Dragon Age: Inquisition feels like it's BioWare's Skyrim

Some fans weren’t thrilled about developer BioWare’s Dragon Age II. The big complaint? It didn’t feel epic. From what I saw today, Dragon Age: Inquisition is not going to have that problem.

BioWare is showing off a live demo of its upcoming role-playing game for the first time at the Electronic Entertainment Expo tradeshow in Los Angeles today. For the first time, we learned that Inquisition is breaking from past Dragon Age games by giving players an open world to explore. BioWare creative director Mike Laidlaw explained that if you see a mountain in the background, you can walk to it. It was right then that I started to feel like Dragon Age: Inquisition is looking to borrow some ideas from one of the biggest RPGs of the last 10 years: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
