“More than 100 scenes went into Sense8′s title sequences, most of them shot by Karin Winslow, who’s married to “Sense8″ co-creator Lana Wachowski. While Lana and her team filmed the 12-episode season last year on location, Winslow ventured off in a rental car with a camera assistant, scouring the surroundings for interesting faces and places.

Yay! I’m glad you’re interested in Dragon Age! (My obsessive posting of Dorian butts and bad Hawke jokes lures in another unsuspecting victim… :D)

Your impressions aren’t wrong. Dragon Age Inquisition is very, very much a pure sequel to DA2 and Origins (as opposed to the next installment of a franchise, a la Final Fantasy, which is what I felt DA2 was). Two of the five or so Big Main Plot Points specifically wrap up character story arcs that were first introduced in previous games. 

In fact, I’d venture so far as to say that if you haven’t played the first two games and their DLCs, then you’d be completely lost through about 75% of Inquisition. And even if you did find your bearings, the narrative twists and ‘gotchas’ would offer you little emotional resonance, because you don’t have that history with the world or its characters.

So, nah, don’t drop the $60 on Inquisition just yet, not until you’ve played through Origins and DA2 at least once, as well as the Origins DLC “Witch Hunt” and the DA2 DLC “Legacy”. I feel like that’s the bare minimum you need to have under your belt before you’re prepped to understand what the hell is going on in Inquisition. (Though it’s a little out of date now, I’ve written before about which games I feel you should start with and why here and here)
