Dragon Age Inquisition: Snake was Right, y'all gonna Love this Game

So to the not-surprise of Snake but to the incredible surprise of everyone else, the third Dragon Age title looks phenomenal and well worth everyone's time.

That being said, I've been looking everywhere for information regarding the last-gen versions of the title to determine whether it makes sense to purchase the PS3 version now, purchase the PC version now, or wait for the PS4 version in 2015. On the one hand, the game will look better on my PC. But I'm wondering how much DA1 and DA2 content I can transfer directly from my DA:O and DA2 saves to Inquisition, and aside from Dragon Age: Keep existing to help folks with new consoles, I can't seem to find any further information.

Like, I want to know: Given that Hawke apparently appears in DA: Inquisition, on my PS3 version, will Hawke on that system share the same appearance as Hawke from my DA2 game? This is a vitally important question for me that'd make the PS3 version a better experience for full immersion, even if it's a step back graphically.

So, let's talk about Inquisition here. The game's action is split among several different open-world areas you can explore, all with wildly different geographies, and representing mostly Orlais but also a fair chunk of Ferelden. You can't really customize your character's history but you can customize race, and you can even play as a Qunari. Your character inherits some kind of crazy magical gift to close green mystical breaches or something and is elevated to a position of prominence while the Templars and Mages are duking it out.

Yet again, Bioware seems decently committed to a diverse cast of characters, including at least one gay man and one lesbian, though as always I'm concerned as to how that diversity is actually going to look in practice, because Bioware's never been as great on the SJ front as they like to imagine they are. But I'm excited that a lot of characters and content from DA:O and DA2 are returning. And, while a lot of reviews seem to take potshots at DA2 for being so 'disappointing', it's good to know that while the gameplay and the aesthetics have been improved, DA2's superbly underrated story still has incredible influence.

So: Anyone else buying this game next week? Who will you be playing as? What system will you be playing it on? (Is Snake the only poor, underpaid sap who might be playing this last-gen?) What characters or plot points intrigue you?
