Schmooples' Den! The DA News Discussion Thread

Congratulations on 1200+ pages, everyone!

Also oh my goodness, I can almost see my trusted laptop melting while trying to run DATV, lol. But it looks so stunning, if the rest of the game is just as stunning, I might be able to forgive it for two companions and not being able to control them.

Someone would have been murdered if she wasn't. Dwarven romance has been requested since DAO.

 okay I'm sold

No! I hope Varric does not die in the game! Just send him home he needs a vacation.

yes

or maybe he becomes something like an Advisor

or maybe he returns to Kirkwall to his role as Viscount . Or did he abandoned that role and I'm not remembering?

Yeah sen dhim back to Kirkwall Kirkwall needs it's Viscount.

Speaking of Advisors, we already know about the 7 companions. But are we getting more Major Characters in this game? DAI and MEA had more characters important and close to the protagonist, would be strange if the new game didnt have those

Well i already open a new thread about Veilguards runecrafter a few hours ago.

What´s my point? Well i believe that Bioware fleshed out more our typical runecrafter, smith and merchant character and make them into major characters aka our previous DAI advisors.

If I don't get Maevaris, I'll get a visit to Bioware offices with a torch!

Speaking of Advisors, the three of them really enriched the inner circle of Inquisition. It'll be a step back if they don't continue with the precedence. 

Yeah the teaser looks LOADS better!
Whoever pitched that companion trailer should get fired.

I'm still not quite sold on the art style, been lukewarm on it since the first promotional material years ago. Can't even tell you why. It's not bad or anything. Just something irks me about it that also irks me about a lot of other AAA games. There's a certain flavor to many that I'm not the biggest fan of. It looks really high quality pretty regardless but so was Andromeda. Frostbite games are all pretty if nothing else. What matters is the writing. The teaser doesn't tell me much but at least those few informational lines by Varric aren't cringe. So that's a good start.

The city is properly dark and menacing. As it should be. Enough people around to give a lively impression. Also good. The city looks big but we'll have to see how much of that is just a backdrop like cities in Mass Effect.

+1 for husky Rook
One major gripe I had with DAI was how schoolteacher boring the English inquisitor sounded. Both genders. The inquisitor in general had the personality of a doormat to me and then Ryder was even worse. I hope Rook is more like Hawke.
