Is there hope for a Qunari protagonist in DA4? Or do you guys think it is impossible to make that work? Could be one of the Antaam that didn't like how that branch has gone crazy. Could be another Ben Hassrath ordered to be involved. And where there is more Qunari, there is more Tal Vashoth. Or even a captured Qunari turned slave, then freed. so ya, I think it's possible. I'm still hoping for the Universal Origin of the PC being a slave. and the Prologue being the staging of a rebellion that gets the attention of the higher ups.

Why I didnt bring Bethany to the Deep Roads on my first blind PT?
Varric and Hawke are locked in (I was playing Rogue). Anders is the better healing mage. And I needed a warrior on the team, not another squishy mage. So I grabbed Aveline and off we went. Bethany seemed relieved not to have to go, and LEandra had just begged me not to take her.
Nothing about protecting her, and everything about party limits and balance. And maybe making mom happy.
on my 2nd PT, I went mage and got Carver. Seeing Bethany attack the Ogre by herself made little sense with her character so it was a bit of cringe and a duh when she died. Carver met my requirements of being the warrior in my party of Mage/Mage/Rogue. He insisted on coming. So, he came and became a Grey Warden.

o you think it makes sense for Bethany to be allowed into Circle and not killed right at the spot? They put her through the harrowing immediately. I think that was there attempt to kill her on the spot. I think if she'd joined in Act 3, the corruption of the Templars would have led to her immediate death

For the first time, I sided with the mages and to be honest, makes me feel filthy. DAO and DA2, I would feel that way about siding Templars. But no issue siding Templars in DAI.

melbellaAn Antivan Crows assumed the Qun functioned like all other societies in that they had an "Important Person" surrounded by "important stuff" in one location. Since Crows are meant to assassinate, not steal stuff, I'm assuming she was sent to kill "the Important Person". But the Qun have several "important persons" that do the job she was itching to murder. And she threw herself into the jungle trying to get to a place she had deemed important but the Qun had not. And died on the way. She must have been of a house of a Lessor Talon, she was poorly educated. I guess by saying he pitied her, he was really saying he pitied anyone outside the Qun

Now as for his comment, I can behind that DA:I style regions do allow for a more controlled mix of directed and emergent experiences. I don't agree though that open-world games are by nature less interesting. I agree with him. Fallout lost me. The very fact that I could pick a direction at random and walk forever, running into little, made me turn off the game after about 90 minutes. The game needs to care if I do that. I read about how people found this unique rock with some writing on it in a corner in a cave you almost missed after a 30 minute walk and I'm all o_O All those Question Marks in The Witcher were meh, especially after I realized all the loot wouldn't level with me. I think Horizon Zero Dawn had a good "open" but not endless and empty balance I can appreciate, but it was quite a small map compared to other Open Worlds.

"Dirty Robin Hood" and "Varric"... whoops, I read that as Sera, not Varric. I wasn't watching this video too much, just listening. How is Varric Dirty Robin hood? I also like the nickname they gave Dorian, I mean "Rock star mage" that's him to a T I actually thought it only connected with the sparkles on his base clothes. When Gaider called him Tevinter Tony Stark, I was like, ya. That matches.

Fictional characters' sexual orientation is usually arbitrary, so why one and not the other? it's possible they kept her straight to buck the stereotype that strong butch women have to be lesbians.

If the griffons originated there, doesn't that mean an entire population of them could have been thriving there for hundreds of years? Mayhap an eluvian will give us access.
There better be a Griffon Courting ritual to be able to earn the ride. I don't want them to be unceremoniously given to me like any other horse.

On Reddit I encountered someone gushing that Cassandra finally represented a tomboy and she was just high in the clouds happy there was someone finally representing herself reflected in a video game.
Maybe the looks aren't there to make your pants uncomfortable. Just an idea

I'm so uninspired by the options we think we have a chance at.
I want completely new people to romance and be dramatic about. By the time they would make Harding "exciting" to me, she'd be a totally different person than we'd thought she was in DAI.

Would have been nice if we could have visited the actual camp at Skyhold, the one visible from the castle walls. I think Iron Bull's chat is meant to be there except if you build the training area in the courtyard before having it, the two happen in the same place, which is very distracting to say the least. Seems very unlikely the soldiers would be pitching their tents in the courtyard. I've always envisioned Skyhold - both the building and the grounds - to be so much bigger than portrayed. I would have loved to have been able to explore it more. Yeah, it did seem like it was about the same size as our castle in Amaranthine. And then we still somehow kept the dying in the courtyard. Or maybe even, Ostagar is about as big as Shyhold and we didn't even get to see the other half of camp, where the army actually was. I dunno what to say, Ostagar and what I recall of the deep roads makes DAI feel small. Maybe it's the ability to look up? At a super tall ceiling that goes on forever? Or a sky that looks just as far away

She'd get ALONG with Viv?! I mean, she's probably used to mage assholes as they come a dime a dozen in Tevinter. But Viv would absolutely think that Fran was beneath her and then say she deserved to be in the Locked Up Tight and Away from Society type of circle.

Why does it matter if we find people he doesn't know? He so easily murdered everyone at the meeting.
No, someone he doesn't know is irrelevant. It'll be macguffin time and I hate it.

Call me crazy, but I honestly prefer the graphics or Origins. Ostagar looks suitably huge.
Love the setup too. Whole camp serious and on edge

Whew. Irving's got a cold bitter heart, to be dooming Lily to make a point
Got Amell to Ostagar. Man, playing a goodie two shoes is boring. But I did find how he ends up with Morrigan.his flaw is curiosity.

I've made Amit Amell. Super red hair, green ey am I intend to play him as a pseudo paladin (Arcane warrior will help) with a Lawful alignment that goes by the book. A sort of healing tank?
He will nonetheless fall to Morrigans charms. My plans for him are that he kills the kid, and has a human baby in Morrigan unknowingly and goes off to do the Ultimate Sacrifice.

How many times have you seen a Qunari *who wasn’t the Iron Bull* crack a smile, laugh or joke? And yet, they do that CONSTANTLY throughout the story. I was thinking more about this. We have that species that is prone to little talk. So, as a writer, how do you communicate a stoic face of emotions via word? That potential excuse aside, I think there was more smiling in that story than any of the others so...they should have tried harder.
