Dragon Age: Inquisition class descriptions and new screenshots

Just a few days ago Bioware revealed the box art for Dragon Age: Inquisition, followed by a new gameplay trailer in which they’ve also announced October 7 as the release date. Recently, the company also updated the game’s website with new screenshots and descriptions for each of the three classes: Warrior, Mage, and Rogue. It’s worth mentioning that every class will have three unique specializations. For the moment, Bioware has only revealed details for three specializations, one for each class. The official descriptions can be viewed below:

Warrior

“Battle-hardened and masters of close combat, warriors are pivotal to any group entering battle. As front-line fighters, they absorb the brunt of opponent attacks, steal enemy focus, and create an opening for deadly ranged assaults from other classes. While some warriors prefer visceral, sweeping damage, many are silverite-clad bulwarks, weathering any blows they don’t deflect with their shields.”

Champion specialization

“Champions are defenders and protectors, and when a warrior trains in the champion’s tradition, he or she becomes unstoppable. Champions use their armor, weapon and awareness to shrug off incoming attacks while holding critical positions on the battlefield and protecting allies in the process.”

Mage

“Those who can tap into the raw energy of the Fade and block the whispering temptations of demons are truly exceptional. When they turn that mental focus onto the field of war, they can be truly terrifying opponents. Rains of fire, walls of ice, or even the ability to heal allies make up a mage’s toolkit. Most employ considerable skills rendering foes not only weakened, but also vulnerable to physical attacks, setting up opportunities for their teammates to exploit.”

Knight Enchanter specialization

“Among the Circles of Magi, only a few mages have the strength of will necessary to focus their energy inward. Wrapped in protective magics and wielding blades of arcane force, the Knight Enchanters are rare, but inspiring sights as they lead the charge into enemy ranks.”

Rogue

“Armed with bows, daggers, and any number of dirty tricks, the rogue’s primary focus is damage: tearing foes down one at a time with systematic efficiency. Rogues commonly use a mixture of stealth and mobility to reach positions of advantage, be it a sniper’s perch away from enemy blades or behind an unsuspecting mage. Deadly and resourceful, rogues can tip the balance of any strategic assault.”

Artificer specialization

“Intricate mechanisms are the core of the artificer’s craft: Deadly traps; Distracting contraptions; Marvels of engineering turned to deadly purpose. If an artificer is standing at the far end of a seemingly innocuous stretch of the battlefield, you should find another path. If he or she is smiling? Best just to hope your affairs are in order.”

We’ve also mentioned that Bioware updated their galley with new screenshots, we posted a couple of them below. For the full gallery you can visit the game’s official website. As a side note, Bioware confirmed that the hooded woman we saw in the trailer is indeed Leliana. She will be joined by other familiar faces from previous games, such as: Morrigan, Varric, Cassandra Pentaghast and Cullen. Dragon Age: Inquisition will be released on October 7 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and the PC.
