Schmooples' Den! The DA News Discussion Thread

Really, I did not know that thank you for that. 

Being able to pick a faction is part of having player agency. Restrictions put in place because you're a part of a faction doesn't diminish player agency

suddenly I'm wondering if that's not something we'll be able to pick in the CC.

That or it’ll be a toggle like they did in MEA and I think Anthem.

I think it might be because his face is very narrow and long (which might just be visually exacerbated by the widow's peak) and it seems rather smooth outside of the more prominent wrinkles. Granted, we've not had a decent close up of his face to see the actual texture and video compression on youtube might not be the best judge.
The hair seems a bit off, too, looks like it has way too much product in it to look like it does. Speaking of which, Bellara's massive bun also seems a little off, it reminds me of the mask that Briala wore in DAI.

Lucanis is from Antiva, a former Crow, and he is described in The Wingmaker Job short story as having a pretty decent sense of style, he was dressed well in that story and not just because he and his cousin were infiltrating a party. It was his cousin who was mingling with the guests, while Lucanis was prowling the rooftops.
Bellara seems to have a pretty weird posture in this picture though, she's hunched like she's got a massive weight on her back and she's trying not to fall over. Maybe she usually does carry around a heavy load and it's just a posture she's developed as a reflex?
I do love Taash's crystal horn prosthetic so she's not lopsided. I wonder if that's the in-character reason for it.

Most I got around to is making a list of names for different genders and races. Didn't know enough and still don't, really, to focus on character concepts and then find out something like half of them aren't viable.

Both Harding and Emmrich are right handed in the picture so its not just a mirrored image.

I will play as I always play in DA game.

Human male Mage.

Faction is remain to be choose later. But suggestion is welcome

Thats disappointing. I loved being able to explore large areas.

It does sound like there could be open areas though like we had in Inquisition they just did a better job filling it with worthwhile stuff this time out and maybe a better job in nudging people in the right direction(s) that they need to go in. 

So do we know anything lore-wise about the Shadow Dragons other than they're mostly the Tevinter middle-class? Like goals? Composition etc?
