This is what shinobi posted on resetera “Pretty much every person I've talked to across a dozen different media outlets, ~95%'ish, has walked out of the private demo sessions with glowing praise. I think we're in for some strong previews tomorrow.” It seems we’ll also get previews tomorrow. I'm always extremely vary of the media praising something so much so far from release. Always comes off a "it's good, trust me" and then the actual thing is shit. A lot of reviews are bought today. So that doesn't reassure me one bit. I need to see for myself. I've seen so much praise for movies and TV shows I thought sucked. There is a certain media bias for certain types of narratives too. Also, Starfield scarred me. They fooled me good with their marketing. But maybe DAV is the other way round, rocky marketing and the game is actually great. |

I'll have a proper gander at the previews but in the end they might not mean much. If something is a "10/10 bold and stunning" in the journo bubble it can still turn out to be a rather mediocre game.
That doesn't mean that it can't turn out to be great. If they get some good gameplay and half decent writing in there it has all the potential of being lots of fun!

I've been checking the system requirements from the 2024 releases and apparently, Assassins Creed Shadows is lower than expected. Do you think Dragon Age will follow something similar? Bioware hasn't been too demanding from low-end PCs so far. Minimum: OS: Windows 10 CPU: Intel i7-4790 | AMD Ryzen5 1600 Memory: 8 GB Storage: 100 GB Graphics: Nvidia GTX 1060 6 GB | AMD RX 570 4 GB DirectX: DirectX 12 Won't be happy time with minimum set especially on graphics. One can compare how DAI/MEA/Anthem looked. I'd say something it between minimum and recommended can work

"I don't mean there aren't any open ended areas to explore. But it's a tight game, with a focus on not wasting the player's time with bloat. They took a lot of that feedback from Inquisition." So no 'Hinterlands' then.  |

Didn't know this but according to Xbox wire we will be up against a pair of corrupt ancient gods determined to destroy the world.. Baldy is one but who is the other? I think they're more hinting to Andruil and Ghilan'nain.
These two Evanuris, elven gods, have co-ruled their realms and were lovers.
It would be odd to pair Solas with any Evanuris, but pair these two makes perfect sense.
Now why would they destroy the world? Spite against Solas to not let him remake the world the way he wants, destroy his millennials long plans. They don't care about the elves, they're all revolting slave decedents as far as they care. They care even less about other races. Perhaps they think they can remake the world themselves, rule Thedas as co-queens while enslaving any survivors to do their biddings.
At least that's my speculation.

I remember seeing a picture of the trailer or artwork and behind the dragon you could see heads with headgear popping up in the shadows, and my guess is Evanuris coming to greet us.

At least that's my speculation.
Since the first concept of the game, though, there was also speculation Solas would try to free the remaining Old Gods. I'd say a lot would depend if Solas actually succeeds in destroying the Veil completely...although some Evanuris might find a way to break free as he's constantly try to rip it apart.

I just need it to run, even if the loading screen takes awhile. I mostly have this specs, minus the CPU + Graphics. I finish BG3 with struggle, but at least I didn't spent a fortune on hardware.

They're going to do both, previews and showing the game, which I think it's good. Definitely. If they show a good chunk of dialogue that should give me an idea whether the tone is like Andromeda again or not. Combat I expect to dislike but that alone is not a deal breaker. If I like what I see and read what I like in reviews AND fans also like it when it releases, then I'll buy it at some point sooner than later. |

Scouring the net, I found seven possible Veilguard Factions. Some are obvious:
- Antivan Crows
- Grey Wardens
- Lords of Fortune
- Mortalitasi
- Qunari
- Shadow Dragons
- Veil Jumpers
My problem is which one offers the better advantage for a Mage. It may be crucial, especially if the choice must be made with the CC. Also, it appears to me that each of the seven companions represent/come from one of those factions. So, each faction rep comes with their faction's unique abilities is my interpretation. Faction ............. Abilities
Crows ............. Assassin, rogue Wardens ........... melee, Griffins LoF ............. ???? Mortalitasi ........ Necro, skeleton fighters Qunari ............. Melee, ?? Shadow D ........ ??? Veil Jumper ...... ???
Mage, mage... where is the best fit for a mage. Maybe someone can fill in their abilities/skills ?????

Ghilan'nain with her little horror factory would definitely be interesting choice.

I think they're more hinting to Andruil and Ghilan'nain. Unless they've changed gender, I think one of the gods is male and one is female, since they have strongly hinted that they equate to the last two Old Gods, it rules out these two as a pair. Since the last two Old Gods are Razikale (goddess of mysteries) and Lusacan (god of shadow heavily linked with Falon'Din in Inquisition codices), the most likely candidates are Ghilan'nain and Falon'Din. However, as Elgar'nan tore down the sun and plunged the world into darkness in the Dalish legend, the final god Lusacan could be Elgar'nan, who may also be the voice at the end of the 2023 trailer. We heard a wolf howl at the end because Solas objects to his reign of peace. Of course, it is also possible that eventually Mythal subsumes Solas into her identity and our final foe will be her mega dragon. |

Scouring the net, I found seven possible Veilguard Factions. Some are obvious: If you swap Mourn Watch as a group for Mortalitassi then this could be any class too. All the other groups can have representatives from any class. However, I'm not sure they would include the Qun as an option as I think they would still rather keep them in opposition. So that would leave: Crow; Lord of Fortune; Grey Warden; Mourn Watch; Shadow Dragon and Veil Jumper. I think they only indicated 6 possible choices.

We need someone 24/24 on the youtube stream chat because the DA account is answering game related questions: They just confirmed: - Faction selection at character creation with 6 options including: Antivan Crows, Grey Warden and Shadow Dragons - We get to customize the Inquisitor from the last game at character creation the Inquisitor?!?! wow they are really revealing everything, huh? I was spoiled about Hawke CC in DAI, and now Inquisitor in DATV  The marking realise they have done a bad job. Now they try to show positive things. So that the fans watch the gameplay.

I want to be an Antivan Crow, but also a mage… The Crows do recruit mages, at least they did back at the time of the 4th Blight. It is likely a bit like it was when we were recruited to a faction/group that we worked for at the beginning of DA2. They paid for our entry to the city and to some extent shielded us from the Templars but it did leave them with a hold over us. The mage in Last Flight was a blood mage, so even more needed the protection of the Crows. Then if the mage becomes a liability they have no shortage of assassins to take them out. Apparently there are some who even have specialist training in doing so, aka Lucanis the Master Assassin and Mage Killer

On the other hand Lord of Fortune might allow me to be a native rivain... It hadn't occurred to me that the classes would limit you to a particular nationality but thinking about it, I suppose that makes sense. That would mean that a Grey Warden might actually be from the Anderfels, Crow from Antiva, Lord of Fortune from Rivain, Shadow Dragon from Tevinter, Mourn Watch from Nevarra and Veil Jumper from the area around Arlathan Forest (I assume, although Strife was from the Freemarches). That's assuming the 6 factions offered to our heroes correspond with those of our companions. I suppose they could swap out Veil Jumper for Inquisition. |

Bellara can be romanced as a lady elf. (♡♡♡!!!) Lucanis can be romanced as a Qunari lady. (♡♡♡!!!) These are...very specific. I hope they aren't race AND gender locked like that. Did people ask about those particular combinations? I would be happy, if we get gender locked. Make better characters. As for the where is what no clue.
