Dragon Age 3 details allegedly leaked in fan survey

An online survey leaked on the Bioware Social forums today purportedly contains details on the next installment in the Dragon Age franchise.

The survey reportedly sheds details on the game's plot, offering a synopsis that reads: "A portal between the worlds unleashes hords of demons in the land, civil wars rip apart nations and the corruption is limitless. Someone is behind the shadows, drawing the threads which destroy the world. Time has come for the Inquisition."

"Take the Inquisitor's cloak and lead the only force able of bringing light into the darkness. Choose the direct method and gather your armies, send spies into the shadows or engage in a political war, make friends and use your connections indirectly: it is up to you how you lead the inquisition. But you'll have to take lead of it from the beginning. Make your player a rogue, warrior or mage and set up your crew from up to ten (!) complex companions to lead them against those who attack you by systematically spying on, revealing and destroying them."

The purported survey also asked people about potential upcoming titles for the game, offering them the choice of the following: Dragon Age 3: The Breach, Dragon Age 3: Exarch, Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, Dragon Age 3: Inquisitor, and Dragon Age 3: Apocrypha.

They were also gauged on their interest in several different costume styles which can be viewed in a Neogaf thread here. Some of the details are backed up by what Bioware hinted at PAX East this year. However, again this is all just a rumor, and we do not know if any of this information is factual. It's definitely fun to think about though.

Pokémon Profiles: Salamence (#373)

Welcome back to IGN's Pokémon Profiles! In case you missed the last installment, Pokémon Profiles is a video series in which we discuss the overall awesomeness of a different monster every week for your catching and watching pleasure. Afterward, we ask you to vote on which monster you'd like us to profile next. No generation is off limits - we intend to give due love and credit to them all.

And just to be crystal clear, the video below is the "profile" of which I speak - not this article. It is also in no way meant to include every detail of every Pokémon discussed - it's simply a brief, hopefully fun look at one of the many monsters we hold near and dear to our hearts. Make sense? Good, because up next is the badass known as Salamence. You guys sure do love your flying dragons!

That wraps up this week's Pokémon Profile! Starting next week, I'm actually going to have you folks vote on which monster I'm going to profile the following week, rather than the one I'll feature two weeks from then. It should be a bit more exciting (and less confusing) that way, as you won't have to wait a whole two weeks to see if your choice gets the spotlight. Since I already have the results of last week's poll to go on for the next episode, this means that voting will resume as normal next Monday. Did Lugia take the win, or did one of the other legendaries reign supreme? Come back next Monday to find out!

And be sure to let us know your thoughts on the beast that is Salamence. Has it ever graced your team, or did you give up halfway to level 50? Let us know in the comments below.

Until next time, PokéMasters - Game on!
