Dragon Age Inquisition Deluxe Edition

A throne made from an ancient dragon skull sits in your Skyhold. That's not a power fantasy. That's a design choice, and it says everything about what Dragon Age Inquisition Deluxe Edition on PlayStation 4 was going for.

This edition loads you up with in-game items that reshape how you experience Thedas from the very start. The Red Hart Halla mount is a great-horned beast that turns traversal into a statement, while the Bog Unicorn brings a grotesque, undead charm to your stable. The Mighty Flames of the Inquisition gear, multi-class weapons, Inquisitor armor, and armored mount round out a loadout that makes your Inquisitor feel like a force of nature from the opening hours.

The World of Thedas digital soundtrack provides the musical backdrop that Inon Zur and his team crafted for one of BioWare's most sprawling adventures. Dragon Age Inquisition won Game of the Year in 2014 for good reason. It was the RPG that proved BioWare could still build vast, choice-driven worlds after the polarizing reception of Dragon Age II.

The Deluxe Edition's extras are all digital, which means condition and completeness hinge on whether the DLC codes were redeemed. For PS4 collectors who care about owning the definitive version of a landmark RPG, the Deluxe Edition represents the fullest launch-day experience BioWare offered at this tier. It's Inquisition the way it was meant to be played, dragon skull throne and all.
