Dragon Age: Inquisition (http://www.joystiq.com/game/dragon-age-inquisition) will feature a familiar method for calling out actions for your party, BioWare's Mike Laidlaw and Mark Darrah revealed during a panel at PAX Prime. The game will include a "tactical view" function, which has players shifting seamlessly to a top-down view at any point above a battle, similar toDragon Age: Origins (http://www.joystiq.com/game/dragon-age-origins). With the game frozen in place, players can then issue commands for their companions at will before shifting back to the game's traditional over-the-shoulder, third-person perspective and resuming action.

The in-game action demonstrated during the panel took place in a location called Crestwood, which Darrah said is "bigger than all of Dragon Age 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/dragon-age-2) put together." The game's delay to fall 2014 allowed the developers to bringmultiple playable races (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/15/dragon-age-inquisition-delay-brings-back-multiple-playable-race/) back to the series, and it was revealed during the panel that both male and female horned Qunari characters would be among those playable races.
