Dragon Age: Inquisition Received a Premium Collector's Strategy Guide with DLC

A premium collector’s edition strategy guide for Dragon Age: Inquisition was made available, offering dedicated fans a substantial package of physical and digital items. Titled the Dragon Age Inquisition: Prima Official Inquisitor Edition, the guide was listed on Amazon with a price point twice that of the standard video game, positioning it as a luxury collectible rather than a simple walkthrough.

The Inquisitor’s Edition Contents

The centerpiece of the collection was a 358-page strategy guide, but the package extended far beyond the book itself. The entire set was designed to be a physical artifact for fans of the series. All items were housed within a themed container made of faux leather, creating an impressive display piece. The guide featured unique embellishments such as artificial leather bookmarks, colored ribbons for marking pages, and decorative metal headers.

Further enhancing the collector’s appeal were physical extras designed to immerse the owner in the world of Thedas. The edition included faction emblems and a stylized pen bearing the game’s logo. A special themed box was also provided specifically for storing the pen. These components transformed the strategy guide from a simple reference tool into a comprehensive collector’s set, akin to a deluxe edition of the game itself.

In addition to the physical goods, the Prima Official Inquisitor Edition also included codes for in-game DLC items. At the time of the product’s listing, the specific nature of this digital content was not detailed, leaving a bit of mystery for prospective buyers. Such bundles often included exclusive weapons, armor, or cosmetic items to give players a unique in-game flair.

A Collectible for the Dedicated Fan

Strategy guides have long been a companion to complex role-playing games, but this edition from Prima Games represented a higher tier of product. Its significant cost and elaborate presentation were aimed squarely at the most devoted Dragon Age enthusiasts who appreciate physical memorabilia. By bundling the guide with exclusive items and an ornate storage case, the publisher created a product that served as both a practical guide and a status symbol for a player’s collection.

The guide was scheduled for release on November 18, 2014, launching simultaneously with Dragon Age: Inquisition. The game was released for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC, with the guide serving as a companion for players on all platforms.
