BioWare has some ideas on how to spend your 6 hours of Dragon Age: Inquisition through EA Access

November 13 marks the day that EA Access members will be able to download Dragon Age: Inquisition to their Xbox One and play six hours worth of the game before it releases on November 18th.

In an attempt to give you an idea of what to do — BioWare might've given us an idea of what we will come across in the first six hours.

There's the obvious thing's you'd do – character creation, see the giant gaping hole in the sky (you know — the plot of the game) and such, but within the first six hours you'll come across party members Cassandra, Varric, Solas and Leliana, dragons and close at least one Fade rift. That's a lot in six hours.

If you want to know what BioWare officially listed as things do to, see below or go to the source.

  • Create your Inquisitor. The game begins with the creation of your Inquisitor. Personalize your hero's race, class, and appearance. There's trillions of character possibilities!
  • 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!
  • Form the Inquisition with Cassandra and Leliana. Every journey begins with the first step. See the Inquisition at the point of its humble beginning.
  • 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.
  • Explore a cave. Treasures are rarely hidden in plain sight. What secrets will you uncover by venturing underground
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 armor, create a sword with elemental properties, or just stockpile healing potions.
  • 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 is set to release on November 18 for the PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3.
