"No Brothels to be in DA4" as per Mark Darrah Tweet.

Well, dunno about the others, but my mockery wasn't directed at you and sometimes it was just a matter of easing the tension or injecting humor. I think ultimately my major concern isn't that someone is having concerns, but worrying too much about something at a time when we really don't know anything about the game yet.

I could definitely go for some hard-core cappuccino on biscotti action! :hearteyes:

Oh neat, I hadn't even thought that.

Still, Isabella gets a ship is canon no matter what Hawke does. But Jose's quest being done would have to be made canon for her to have a fleet.

Oh yes, give me that food porn... who needs brothels!

Actually, it'd be hilarious if Solas missed, say, an important eclipse or something because he got distracted by sampling delicious desserts in one of Minrathous cafeterias (the secret Inquisition plan! He may know their weaknesses, but they know his too!).

He wouldn't be able to reach the Fade if he drinks too much! GENIUS!

 REPORTED!

The lack of brothels doesn't mean the story will full of rainbows just like their inclusion doesn't mean that the story suddenly turns 'dark' or 'adult' and I can't really understand why some people choose to think this way...

Iron Bull's design is honestly.... sorry for the term, gross, in my opinion. I'm fine with some abs but his body is so over the top, it's ridiculous. I know there are people who find that sort of thing attractive but his proportions aren't even right. He has such a tiny head for his massive body! His neck is absurdly large. It's just, ugh, no thanks. His face isn't exactly great either. I find the Arishok much more attractive than him. I wish Bioware would return to that design when it comes to qunari. The qunari males you can create in the CC are fine, but most of the times they have too much of a baby face. But the qunari women are just ugly as hell to me (the lack of hair certainly doesn't help) unless you have some mad CC skills (or maybe I just suck at creating good looking characters, which is entirely possible too, haha). I've recently seen some qunari females created with mods and it's like night and day. 




My problem with Blackwall isn't even his looks, I just honestly find him so uninteresting, it's hard to imagine he was one of the main romance for females. Good thing they decided to add Cullen and Solas romances at the last minute, otherwise female straight characters would be screwed. Not that I find Solas particularly handsome, but I can see the appeal, he is more of the nerdy guy, you know?

But it's honestly weird to me that I too find the characters in DAI overall weird looking or just unattractive, when the concept art for them make them look gorgeous and unique (Sera's art for example is nothing like her final model and Blackwall actually looks handsome), but they just couldn't transmit that to the game, I think. I guess concept art always looks better anyway. Sometimes I'm not even sure if it's a design decision or if it's actually a problem with the engine. Leliana's face for example is all wrong for me. Her mouth animations are just terrible and makes her look super creepy. But then again, we're talking about something that it's entirely subjective since many people find most of the characters attractive.

That timeline's a little off.

9:30 - Hawke escapes Lothering and begins indentured servitude
9:31 - DA2 Act 1
9:34 - DA2 Act 2
9:37 - DA2 Act 3
9:40 - Cassandra interrogates Varric
9:41 - DAI begins

Most of the time passing that you mentioned was always implied to be during those three year gaps. Aveline being captain of the guard, for example, she officially gets the promotion in Act 1, but in the three years between Act 1 and Act 2, she actually takes on that role.

Personally, I like to headcanon that the events of Act 2 probably included some things that happened in 9:32 and 9:33, too, and same thing for the "missing time" between 2 and 3 (I also play Legacy between Acts 1 and 2 and MotA between 2 and 3 to account for some of the time of Hawke's adventures). However, officially, it's always been that the various events of each act only happen over the course of a few weeks, each being a few years apart, logical or illogical as that may be.

I lean towards narratively illogical, for so many things to happen in a short period of time   And then it's absolutely boring normal stuff in between

A party banter between Aveline and Varric during act three states that Varric has been by Hawkes side for 6 years. That means the family has been in Kirkwall for seven years. Inquisition doesn't take place -according to the timeline- until 9.41 Dragon. Though Keep in mind, that this goes along with comic and book event too.

That doesn't conflict with what I said.

9:37 Anders blows up the Chantry. Hawke defeats Meredith and leaves. (Or is Viscount for a time and then leaves.)
-- Somewhere in here are the events of the comics. --
9:40 The Divine instructs Leliana and Cassandra to form the Inquisition, so they go about seeking a potential Inquisitor in the Warden and Hawke. Cassandra interrogates Varric.
9:41 Conclave happens and is exploded. Cassandra forms Inquisition.


It's playable versus non-playable time. The player plays over seven years. But the scope of the game is longer than seven years because the interrogation takes place in 9:40.
