The project got a 98 out of 100
I'm a huge fan of both Dragon Age series and The Witcher series, and when The Witcher 3's Sword of Destiny trailer came out, my jaw dropped at how amazing that trailer was, and also said that it seems none of the Dragon Age Inquisition captured the the best part of the game as The Witcher's trailer did.
For me, all that matters is good music. Without much thought, I went in and grabbed the audio from that Witcher's trailer and made a fan trailer for DAI.
Something I made a while ago for a class project. I summarized 8 level design techniques I learned from Half-Life 2 level designs.
Techniques like how to properly use lighting in levels to guide players, how to reward players, how to pace gameplay, how to do tutorial correctly, etc.
FF13 features one of the serie's best soundtrack collection, and I'm personally a huge soundtrack nerd. After finishing LR, I went out to make this mashup, mixing all the best tracks from all 3 games from the series.
