With pages flying by, I didn't notice a couple of things, hope someone asks these at the QnA: Will our Rooks have a set last name, like before? Will there be romanceable characters outside of the Team? I think I recall reading that you can customize both your given name and surname this time around.

Dragon Age II also had a level cap of fifty, obviously intended for DLCs and an expansion. I honestly didn't know DA2 was that high. Could you even hit 30 in the game, even with all the DLCs?

Another good find! "The warrior, for instance, can be specialised into a Reaper, equipped with lifesteal and other freaky powers, a Slayer who can wield the biggest blades, or a tanky Champion." "Shadow Dragons deal extra damage to Venatori blood cultists" "Veilguard also brings back base management from Inquisition, though Epler says it's not on the same level as ruling over Skyhold."

I think I usually hit level 32 or so? There was an infinite experience glitch that was eventually patched out.

With that bracer, maybe she's leaning into Mage-Rogue hybrid territory. Being a mage does explain all the levitating triangles she has been shown with. I imagine her special abilities will look like a DnD Artificer, using a kit of weird magical doodads that she's picked up on her adventures. She might be what Sera was supposed to be - a mage that wields rogue talents in a funky way.

Oh God, the 50-level cap is the first piece of recent news I didn't enjoy. Building 50 levels will be something...
For instance, I never played Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous with the Legend Mythic Path. I enjoy a good, strategic build with a maximum of at least 20 levels.
Also, Warriors in Dragon Age always felt subpar. In hope there's more to Buffy "Slayer" then "Big Swords".

Wait... I just realised this said Reaper not Reaver, whoops, though Reaver does have a life stealing ability. But maybe the other powers will be different. At the least Reaper probably won't be themed around dragon blood.

If Bellara is a mage, then it seems like Veil Jumpers or perhaps there's a subclass that makes them similar-ish to Arcane Warriors and Knight enchanters. As in, they have magic but they also have others skills besides that.

Aries @ariesczEvery modern game is compatible with controller on PC by default, I do not think that needs confirmation. The demo was likely played on PC anyway for ease of video capture, dev build deployment, etc. Michael Gamble @gamblemikeYes, its playable with controllers. The focus the team has taken is to get KB+M feeling good. - Fingers crossed. If I can βwalkβ on kb+m, Iβm good. Iβll settle for a lower difficulty level if needs be to play my preferred way.

Regarding whether there were any restrictions on joining Factions.Mad madzilla84 they were answering a few Qs on discord yesterday and said there were no restrictions (except that you canβt be a dwarven mage)
Lace with magic but no one else. Idiots! Why can't I be the Protag magic dwarf user as an exception?
The reason is the lore. Be thankfull for Harding. Or do you prefer she also have no magic.

The thought has occurred to me, but then 3 out of 4 games would have a mage canong PC, and that feels a bit boring ngl. I know I should see every new game as new start and play what I like the most, but I can't stop obsessing over the "overall story" I'm creating (if that makes any sense). Ah someone after my own heart. I went back into the Keep yesterday to be sure that my "canon" run was all set up from DAO, only to learn later that it was no longer necessary. I still have in the back of my mind the heroes that led up to any particular Inquisitor and that does influence who I choose to run with and what PC I develop this time round. Trouble is I can't remember precisely the hero sequence that led to my first Inquisitor, my female mage Lavellan who romanced Solas but I'm fairly certain Hawke wasn't a mage and neither was the Warden (which means they must have both been rogues as I not really into being a fighter), so I suppose if I run with a mage this time, that will be two rogues followed by two mages. However, if I go with my male Lavellan, who was a rogue, then Hawke was a mage and the Warden was a rogue, which means I need to have Rook as a mage or I'll have too many rogues. Now if they would re-introduce the Spirit Warrior class I'd be okay as I'd probably opt for a fighter then. Am I overthinking this? Not at all. I lookt at my keep as well. To see what i have played already. I at first thoght of playing my main canon first, but after looking at it i have decided to take another world state. Because i want a crow HC first. I will combine the background with the love interesst from the game before. Dorian = Shadowdragon, Zevran(Josephine) = crow and so on.
In this state i have a rogue, Warrior, Mage. So i will go with what i can play. I thought i have 8 world states in my keep. I saw it was 10 instead.

As in, they have magic but they also have others skills besides that. I always thought this was likely to be the case after we saw that archer with a magic bow in the 2020 trailer. If you have to be a Veil Jumper to do this, then I may have to revise my faction choice. However, it may be a skill unique to Bellara as all companions have their own unique abilities. Her doodad may be the equivalent of Bianca for Varric. We never had the option of a crossbow like his. I'm hoping it is an option for mage specialisation regardless of your faction or race, just as Arcane Warrior and Knight Enchanter were.

All the questions answered by BIO_brenon (Brennon Holmes) so far on the discord - most of the questions aren't direct quotes cause for some reason discord won't let me copy the text from the first post in a "thread": Q about whether you can spec as an archer "One of the skill trees for Rogues is more focused on ranged combat, and it's pretty viable to go almost pure ranged (honestly maybe a bit OP at the moment π )" __ Q can you choose your pronouns? "Yes, you can!" __ Q about whether we'll use the keep "Setting your previous world state is fully integrated into the character creator for Veilguard, you can also customize your Inquisitor if you are so inclined." __ Q can you transfer your Inquisitor's appearance from dai to DATV? "It's unfortunately been a long time, there's not really a good way for us to be able to do this. So as part of character creator you can re-create your Inquisitor character appearance. π" __ Q when will preorders be available? "I don't have any concrete dates on preorders, sorry!" __ Q will we see familiar old faces? "You'll see some familiar faces for sure π" __ Q about whether there are class/race/faction restrictions, can they play a grey Warden qunari? "Classes are not restricted, you can play any class, lineage and faction combo you want." "Dwarves can't use magic*! *some exceptions may apply (So yes, almost any combination π )" "Yes a mage can be a Crow or a Warden or whatever" __ Q "Will we be able to create our characters early to be able to import them into the game like many other titles that does this? Or will we have to wait for the full release? If people preorder do we get early access to the game?" "Sorry I don't have any information I can share on this kind of stuff right now!" __ Q Will HUD be configurable? "Not everything, but there are a bunch of different interface options you can play with - so things like when to display health bars, combat text size, opacity, etc" "To be clear, you can't go crazy - but there are a bunch of options if you want fewer things on screen or some alternate ways of having some elements activate π" __ Q can i play with just HDD or do i need a SSD drive? "You can play using an HDD, we would recommend an SSD for an optimal experience though. π" __ Q: what year did veilguard take place? "Veilguard is about 9 years after the events of DA:I" Q "sorry to pop in the thread but, trespasser or base DA:I?" "9-10 years from DA:I and about 8 years from Trespasser." __ Q better on pc or controller? Or the same? "I think it will come down to your personal preference! I play on KB+M, but using a controller also feels good too! π" __ Q Will we be able to see our companions health on the ui? "Yes, your follower information will be visible on the HUD (cooldowns, health, etc)" __ Q do we have to use the ability wheel or can we keybind our abilities? "There is a "quick cast" option if you prefer not to use the wheel, should be a chorded action using a controller." __ Q will da4 have DLSS support at launch? "Yes, we will!" __ Q how does the cc compare to dragons dogma 2? "I mean... I'm biased, I like ours better? π" __ Q what are pc specs? "It's coming! Nothing we can say just yet though. Once the store pages launch it should have the info you're looking for. π" __

I know my canon run perfectly by heart: 1. Female mage elf warden that romanced Alistair and made him king (although originally I made him a warden, but DAI forced me to make my one big retroactive canon change so I wouldn't have to kill him or Hawke) 2. Female mage Hawke that romanced Fenris and supported the mages 3. Female rogue Inquisitor that romanced Solas, disbanded the Inquisition, reluctantly made Leliana Divine, and promised to redeem Solas I guess for the biggest variety I should do dwarf/qunari warrior and play as a bit of a hardass (and perhaps romance my first rogue looking at you Lucanis), but... warrior has such little appeal to me, and if there's a ton of parrying it's going to be even worse than normal. The camera angles also bother me when playing dwarf, although that might just be a matter of habit. Knowing myself I'll just be another elven mage again lol. I know 2 of my 10 world states also well. 1st: DAO: Human warrior romance Alistair beeing queen. Helping the mages, Diplomatic in the forest and the son of the dwarf king wasn't the new King. Alistair and Morrigain to save a live.
DA2: Human rogue no romance. supported the templer. DAI: Elf mage romance Cullen. Going to the mages.
DAV: Elf warden
2nd DAO: Cityelf died no romance. DA2: Human warrior romance Sebastian. Support the templer. DAI: Elf mage romance Dorian. Going to the mages.
DAV: Shadowdragon

Yes, this is precisely what many of us were trying to get at. Some people are rabid convinced that Solas is just an evil mass murderer. Others, like myself, who may or may not ultimately like him, still understand him to have been a good companion who cared for others and has an authentic desire to stop pain, death, and suffering. He is not an evil mass murderer. We don't have the full picture that Solas does about the Veil and by stopping his ritual we may actually be endangering more lives in the future- we just don't know. All we know is that innocents are dying, and the moral compass of the Inquisitor, or Rook, demands he must be stopped. I will still kill Solas, but that's what makes it so tragic- he was a good egg with good intentions. Anyone who commits mass murder, regardless of reason or intentions, is evil. Then all soldier are evil in your eyes?
