Summary/Abstract: Schweiger presents the preliminary outcomes of his doctoral research project on representations of power in The Witcher 3 and Dragon Age: Inqusition. The main method used in the first stage of this project was a computer-assisted analysis of the content of intros, outros, cutscenes, as well as dialogue sequences in the two games; gameplay analysis was a secondary reserach method. Based on the codes gained from this study, Schweiger isolates 13 dimensions that distinguish the ways in which political power is represented in the two games then discusses how their interpretation may be influenced by a dissonance between the plot and the rules in these games.
