As the potential Ariqun, she'd be one of the three pillars (leaders, if not the leader) of the Qun. A very serious lady, indeed. But, can't see her frolicking amongst humans or even be a companion. I think anyone hoping for Rassan to be a companion might be setting themselves up for disappointment. She is a character with leadership baked into her being, I don't see there being a way for her to play second fiddle to anyone other than the Arishok, and even that stops once she is named Ariqun. Besides that, she is a prominent and powerful figure and her protagonistic involvement would go against Patrick's older statement of "what happens when the people with power don't do what they should". These objections can be overcome by the fact she was the Ariqun in waiting. If I am right and she is the reason the Antaam rebelled against the leadership in Par Vollen then to them she is probably now persona non gratia! One of the things they said in the Behind the Scenes video is that the game will explore what people do when those in charge are not dealing with the threats as they should. This would fit with Rasaan feeling that Par Vollen aren't taking the Solas threat seriously, nor perhaps red lyrium for that matter, and so she has gone rogue as a result taking "her" Antaam, as she described them in Tevinter Nights, with her. If the Arishok sent the antaam to Thedas on her advise, then do you think he would stop using her as an adviser because the ariqun stripped her of her title? If he did then I could see her joining us having lost all authority to command or influence anyone, but if she's still the Arishok's adviser or has wrested control of some/all of the antaam from him then she's still probably in too much a position of power to be going off on adventures with us - could be a potential mid-to-late game alliance npc choice though. Since their Tevinter invasion started in East Tevinter I wonder if it's about encircling Arlathan Forest. Treviso seems to be the Northmost of Antiva's coastal cities (funnily enough there are no settlements on the north coast of Antiva major enough to be on the map, possibly an indication of high cliffs?) - if they head NW from there than it will sure look like they're after the magic forest.

I see her as a pure QUN ideologue. Unwavering in her Qun beliefs... a leader and used to command. She'll not play second fiddle.
DA4, will have, imo, a female Q magic user and I'm looking forward to see her unique magic. This implies that magic is opened up to some extent, at least.

If she is leading her Antaam, I don't see her running around with us. She is the commander of an invasion force that needs an iron grip. If the Arishok sent the antaam to Thedas on her advise, then do you think he would stop using her as an adviser because the ariqun stripped her of her title? If he did then I could see her joining us having lost all authority to command or influence anyone, but if she's still the Arishok's adviser or has wrested control of some/all of the antaam from him then she's still probably in too much a position of power to be going off on adventures with us - could be a potential mid-to-late game alliance npc choice though. Okay, then the alternative is that she is working with Par Vollen. In Tevinter Nights she wasn't with her Antaam, if that means her army as opposed to just the small contingent of soldiers she had with her, but was off looking for clues about Solas. That is clearly her main focus. Besides she didn't need to stay with the Antaam once she had advised them where to attack. She is a spiritual adviser, not a military one. That is how it has always worked in the Qun. The Rasaan would stay at the side of the Arishok, advising him of the will of the Qun, but not on military strategy, which would be entirely his responsibility. However, this system fell apart in DA2 because apparently Rasaan stayed behind on Par Vollen when the Arishok went to collect the Tome of Koslun in what was probably thought to be a routine action that didn't need her input. Then for some inexplicable reason Par Vollen didn't think it appropriate to send her south to join him in Kirkwall. We know how that worked out. Still, it shows that if circumstances demand it, she can leave the side of the Arishok. Of course, we don't know whether the Arishok is in charge of the rogue Antaam, he is still on Par Vollen or he is dead. If he is still alive then I think it unlikely he is still on Par Vollen because the subordinate leaders of the Antaam effectively mutinied and I would have thought the normal response would be to send in Ben'Hassrath agents to take them out. Instead they were allowed to proceed, which either means they did have the secret approval of Par Vollen or the Arishok made the decision to attack without the approval of the other two members of the Triumverate, which technically he was entitled to do, because, as detailed in WoT, he is ultimately responsible for all military decisions. The other possibility is that the Vints succeeded in assassinating Arishok Sten, as they were apparently intent on doing, and the Antaam retaliated as a result without waiting for Par Vollen to appoint a new one.

I see her as a pure QUN ideologue. Unwavering in her Qun beliefs... a leader and used to command. She'll not play second fiddle. Maybe not but I think we will see her, if only as an antagonist, because she did feature in Tevinter Nights looking for clues to undermine Solas. This is why if our aim is to stop him then it might well be a case of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Charter did admit that the Qun probably know more about Solas' activities than anyone as they were on to him before we became aware of his identity. They also declined the invitation to attend her meeting, likely because they suspected it would be infiltrated by one of his agents, if not actually Solas himself. His agent was also trying to bring Par Vollen into the conflict with Tevinter in Tevinter Nights, so it is possible that if she is still loyal to Par Vollen we could be working with her. From what Gatt said, Par Vollen is co-operating to some extent with the shadow Inquisition and he was in contact with Varric. I suppose it is possible that Gatt could be the member of the Qun working with us and the Qunari female is just a genuine Tal'Vashoth. My main reason for wanting her to be Rasaan is because she is a pure Qun ideologue and as a high ranking priestess ought to know far more than normal operatives, even the Arishok, would. Iron Bull hinted that perhaps the Tamassrans know more about the origins of the qunari than we have been told up to now. The only way I can see us learning more of their background is from a high ranking member of the priesthood. I suppose the alternative would be a companion who is a true Executor because there were hints in Tevinter Nights that there is some connection between the two, possibly the original Qun leaving their continent of origin to escape from the Executors, since the Executor in TN seemed to suggest that the Qunari might be afraid of them. Quite some claim. However, Solas also saw them as a threat, since he silenced them before they could reveal what they knew about him.

Since their Tevinter invasion started in East Tevinter I wonder if it's about encircling Arlathan Forest. I definitely think it may have something to do with the strange magical phenomena that seem to be arising in that area. The Qun have been studying unusual magic for some time now, so any signs of something unique arising would make them want to investigate it. The trailer hinted that, as some of have previously suggested, the appearance of that fairy tale castle may not be normal. If that is the case, it could explain why the Qun attacked Treviso specifically.

Hu? Studying magic? Don't they treat magic like Kryptonite? ... very, very dangerous?... and they're studying it?
One way, if not the only way, to study magic is to have the best magic adepts working on the problem. However, these individuals are also considered the most dangerous. And, the most dangerous are masked with lips stitched and with a constant guard to boot.... hardly conducive to research. It's just the idea of the Q actively researching magic is Anathema to the Qun thinking. That is, the Qun theology is rather like a cult... Restrictive, maintain power via control and enforced discipline of its subjects / followers.
Where am I going wrong here?

In Trespasser we see one of the storehouses of magical artefacts they've been investigating. As with lyrium mining and gaatlok and Saarebas, the Qunari are willing to use dangerous things if they think the advantage it gives them is worth it.
That said, there's nowhere near they're anywhere near knowing as much about magic as Tevinter does, let alone as much as Solas and whichever other ancient elves are still running around. You can only learn so much from poking magical artefacts under contained circumstances and treating all your mages like unexploded bombs.

Gotcha! Still, the Qunari Adepts seems to have better /more powerful talents that humans. We may yet see different magic in DA4.

I sure hope so! We're going to see at least one of the Evanuris unleashed, right? And surely they can do some serious damage, they were powerful to be worshipped as gods by a race that was itself inherently magical, so that's gotta say something.

Hu? Studying magic? Don't they treat magic like Kryptonite? ... very, very dangerous?... and they're studying it? In Trespasser they had apparently figured out that the Veil was not natural and, in view of the Breach, could be damaged and weakened, let alone removed altogether as Solas wishes to do. So, the Viddasala was researching how to strengthen it. I'm not sure exactly how powering up Saarebas with lyrium was meant to do this but that seemed to be the main thrust of her research. Also they seemed to have been making a collection of eluvians at the Darvaarad but whether they then smashed them deliberately or accidentally was not clear. In Tevinter Nights they had decided to make the base the Darvaarad a dreadnought so it could move around and less likely to be detected by their enemies but apparently Solas figured it out and one of his agents had been given the task of destroying it and Kon'Tar whilst implicating Tevinter, so Par Vollen would be brought into the war. No doubt that was meant to distract the Qun from following him. Gatt said that Darvaard means "magical isolation" near enough in their language. The floating Darvaard had a whole collection of magical items, which presumably they collected both the stop them being used against them and also research how they worked. Whether this was generally to work out how to counter magic or whether it was still directed towards thwarting Solas we shall no doubt find out in the game. The important clues I took from the stories in Tevinter Nights featuring the Qun is that there is probably method in their madness in attacking both Tevinter and Antiva at the same time, they seem interested in Arlathan Forest and Solas definitely sees them as a threat. If Strife and his Veil Jumpers are not working with Solas, then they are likely doing similar research to the Qun but in opposition to them.

Archi @exhaustedarchivist.bsky.social Hey @trickweekes.bsky.social question about Cole if you have the time.
In banter with Bull when he becomes tal-vashoth, Cole says he can read the Tamassran's thoughts because her pain touches Bull's. Is he actually able to read her thoughts, or is he doing something else?
Trick Weekes @trickweekes.bsky.social Sort of, but "reading thoughts" implies a lot more control than Cole has. Cole is naturally attuned to follow paths of emotional connection through feelings of pain. As in another banter with Bull, Cole can't use it to guess a number.
Archi @exhaustedarchivist.bsky.social And those connections he follows are they connected through the Fade or just paths that exist in the world in general?
Trick Weekes @trickweekes.bsky.social Probably through the Fade, but I don't know that I have a perfect answer. I was going deliberately vague rather than thinking of mechanical limits/abilities. It was never going to be something we used for someone to min/max to break the game.
DarkGoddessEris @darkgoddesseris.bsky.social @trickweekes.bsky.social
2 questions if you do not mind
1. Who is responsible for the little head shake movement Solas has during his romance scenes?
2. Many fans view Solas as racist towards anyone not ancient Elvhen. Some say its a lack of information due to his long slumber. Thoughts?
Trick Weekes @trickweekes.bsky.social 1. I THINK that was Jon Epp -- he did most Solas scenes in the main game. But I wouldn't swear to it.
2. I think it's absolutely fair for people to have either opinion.

Okay... and...? The point here is...? Literally ALL I anticipate is a mention of whether or not they expect DA:D to be released within the fiscal year, which is their responsibility as part of their annual review with the investors of anticipated income for the fiscal year of 2025. I don't expect a release date, and I never did, and I don't think anyone ever did. BioWare already explicitly has a release date announcement scheduled -- FULL REVEAL THIS SUMMER INCLUDING THE RELEASE DATE, if you recall -- and that is not the responsibility of the EA c-suite to reveal.

I would like to think that if their planned timeframe had slipped to the 2026 fiscal year, we would have picked up on some kind of panicked shift in behavior. Whether from the devs on Twitter or through some kind of Jeff Grubb intermediary.

Of interest to me is that No-News-Bio announced a "Summer Reveal" leaving out the "launch date". While I still believe the game will launch in the Fall of 2024, their statement gives them wiggle room.
Dev chatter was moribund from early 2023 and has recently picked up; a sign, that imo, the game is on track.

Same for me. I feel like the tea leaves look promising for an "on-track" release this Fall.

Since I apparently cannot find the actual blog itself I'm gonna have to link the thread but this is from the BioWare blog that they did right when they released the trailer for Dragon Age Day, Thedas Calls: "With that will come our full reveal including new trailers, gameplay, and—of course—the long-awaited release date." bsn.boards.net/thread/20149/bioware-blog-dragon-age-2023

Long-ass wait, for those of us that have been in the long haul since 2014, but we're so close now. Very exciting!

Time is reletive though, if it really is a couple months out that will be an eyeblink for the ten years we have been waiting. Though honestly I think most of us have only been seriously waiting since 2019. We had Andromeda and even, to an extent, Anthem to keep us busy in the meantime but that is pretty much when the first trailer dropped. If I am remeembering the time frame correctly.
