12 Things To Do With 6 Hours Of Dragon Age: Inquisition

Are you ready to lead the Inquisition? Beginning November 13, EA Access members will be able to download a trial of Dragon Age: Inquisition on Xbox One and experience six hours of gameplay before the full game releases on November 21st. Best of all, your progress will carry over! In an effort to help you get the most out of your six hour trial period, we've put together a list of twelve things possible to do during that time. Are you up for the challenge?

1. Create your Inquisitor. The game begins with the creation of your Inquisitor. Personalise your hero's race, class, and appearance. There's trillions of character possibilities!

2. Witness the blast that tears a giant hole in the sky. Dragon Age: Inquisition's story kicks off with a bang. You'll get no spoilers from us!

3. Form the Inquisition with Cassandra and Leliana. Every journey begins with the first step. See the Inquisition at the point of its humble beginning.

4. Discover the Hinterlands. The Hinterlands is a massive area in the world of Thedas, ripe for exploration. With the war between templars and mages at a fever pitch, watch your step. You might get caught in the crossfire.

5. Explore a cave. Treasures are rarely hidden in plain sight. What secrets will you uncover by venturing underground?

6. Experience real-time and tactical combat. How you choose to engage in combat is entirely up to you. Jump into battle and start crushing your enemies with real-time combat, or pause the game to survey your enemies and surrounding environment and issue commands to your party before resuming play.

7. Fight a dragon. Dragons are the apex predators of Thedas and will surely rank among the toughest battles you'll face. Make sure you're well stocked on supplies before engaging this massive creature.

8. Meet a trio of followers. As the Inquisition's reputation grows, you'll discover characters throughout your travels who want to join the Inquisition and fight by your side. During the early stages of your adventure, you'll have the opportunity to get acquainted with Cassandra, Varric, and Solas.

9. Use the war table. The Inquisition's war table is a powerful asset. Issue commands to your agents all over Thedas and complete missions that will aid in the advancement of the Inquisition.

10. Close a Fade rift. The Inquisitor has a mysterious power, one that grants the ability to close tears in the Fade and stop the demon assault.

11. Experiment with crafting. As you gather schematics, recipes, and materials, you can put them to good use by crafting upgrades for your gear—or entirely new gear. Upgrade your armour, create a sword with elemental properties, or just stockpile healing potions.

12. Try out multiplayer mode. Band together with other players over Xbox Live and test your luck completing a dungeon. Can you work as a team? You'll need to in order to survive these punishing missions.

Dragon Age: Inquisition will be available from 21st November 2014. Lead them or fall.
