On an other note find below a gampeplay video of Dragon Age Inquisition...Well I had lost Faith in the Franchise but this one looks very very promissing.
I thought you might be interesting. Enjoy the video!

I watched the video and it does look very promising indeed. I never played the other Dragon Age games because I really hate turn based combat, but this looks more real time. I did try the first game, but it didn't inspire me at all although it supposedly has a good story. I couldn't get into the combat and some of the other mechanics.
It looks like they have changed their focus with Inquisition and created an open world which is more appealing to me.
I must say that just on the video I'm not a fan of the in game sounds, like spell casting and combat etc, but that may just be the video itself.
VAC is Steam's own anti-cheat function.

Buffing means casting spells or using items to enhance combat or add protection against magic for example, and debuff is doing the opposite to enemies with items that degrade their gear, holy water and other stuff.
Invasions are a part of online play where a player can enter another player's game world and hunt them down and try to kill them. You need to be in a Covenant (factions) to do this as well as have the appropriate items which can be found as drops from mobs or purchased from the Covenant leader.
There are other Covenants though that are mainly for co-op and also one that summons the member to help another player who is being invaded. The latter are the Blue Sentinels who also hunt down sinners, (people who invade others and kill NPC's) but this mainly happens in New game Plus.
On the other hand you have co-op where you can summon another player into your game world to help with a boss, to get through a hard area on the way to a boss, or just for fun playing together. People can summon you to their world also for the same reasons.
I'm not really into the PvP part of the game, mainly because I
at it, although I have won some interesting fights against invaders. I usually lose against magic spammers though when they have high level Hexes or Homing Crystal Soul mass etc.
New Game is the main game first time through on a character. Then you have the choice when killing the final boss of continuing on to New Game Plus which is harder, adds new enemies, new items, and lots of other cool things. It's not automatic though as in the first game. You can choose to move on at a certain point or stay in NG if you have other things to finish. Then after NG+ you have +++'s up to 7, I believe, which would be really, really hard. Enemies, including bosses are more aggressive and have more ways to kill you.

I was thinking I might keep my other characters in NG at least until I see what the DLC is about. I don't want to have to start over when I already have characters ready to go. I believe it starts in the Rotten's room somewhere. Just think - more of that lovely poison. I'm going to buy out Gavlan's stock of Poison Moss...
