If you’ve played Dragon Age: Inquisition, you probably remember that you could sprint with your horse between different destinations to save time. Or… could you really?
When a Twitter user asked “what’s the most useless fact about Dragon Age that you know?” Dragon Age: Inquisition’s creative director, John Epler, decided to answer and had something really surprising to share about his classic RPG. It turns out that the sprint didn’t actually do anything at all due to technical limitations from the Frostbite game engine:
“when you ‘sprint’ on a horse in DAI it doesn’t really do much because frostbite couldn’t stream in levels fast enough, so we just added speed lines and changed the camera so it felt faster”
Really nice nice there Bioware, you had us completely in the stands.
