Do we know who made the music? It's not at all like the music from DAO or DA2, but while different I really loved most of DAI's music so I don't mind going down a similar path. From what I can hear here the music will be very nice. Would have been cool if this style and Inon Zur's could be intertwined to call back to the game's origins (pun intended). It's reputed to be Hans Zimmer for this game.

Another german gamer have said in an inerview with gronkh: Traslotion: You can skill your companions,by improving your relationship with them. Could be like DA2 where high friendship/rivalry was required to unlock certain part of their tree. If so, then at least one of the special attacks unlocked by high approval should be called "The Power Of Friendship"

Replaying the game demo, it seems that Rook does most of the killing while Varric and Harding are the slow pokes. Is my perception wrong or is it because the camera is focused on Rook? As I mentioned upthread (or maybe in another thread, I've lost count) it's not even close. Rook is doing 5-10 times as much damage as the others. It's like they are only there to add banter or be damage sponges. I really hope that's not the case.
Me too. I play as a Mage. This swing and parry crap is for the birds. Problem I have is, as a Mage, beside the ridiculous limited spells, I don't see how I can cast spells at a distance. From the gameplay demo, I'd be in the thick of things.

Many of the later Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks. If true, BioWare is going all out getting a movie soundtrack composer on this score...

Warrior have a Reaper spec? Do they have greenish/black power, have a shroud feature and can use a greatsword like scythe on top of the life steal? Me wants to know.
If it's just Reaver 4.0, I'll pass.
The lower ring of statues has two Beetlehead in a row. It's the only repeated one and it is involved in the scaffolding incident. The higher outer ring had all different 7 heads and both outer and inner ring are in the same order except for that repetition.
Here the 3 Beetle head:
Here the not Beetle head on the outer ring: I noticed it too. I was wondering if they made mistake and accidentally put two beetles and not that other kinda similar shape, or if it is intentional. Ghil'dirthalen said in her podcast it's highly likely to be a mistake.

If so, I'd be amazed, since Zimmer is a veritable POWERHOUSE, and I love a lot of soundtrack work he did (maybe that's why the heartbeat thing reminded me of a piece for Interstellar?) Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe were credited on a hidden track "Dread Koda" on the Dragon Age vinyl set. And Trevor Morris tweeted a while back (and then deleted) that they passed on him for Hans Zimmer and co.

The funny thing is that Zimmer's work is pretty distinct compared to other movie composers But then again, he composed for over 150 films and his work influenced other composers.

Hans Zimmer also did the Interstellar soundtrack too. Which is pretty amazing to listen to. I do hope that whatever composer BW chooses to avoid sounding like The Witcher. Don't get me wrong, the soundtrack to TW3 is amazing and fits that game. But it needs to sound like Dragon Age. I hope they stick with something like opening song on the title screen from DA:I...

And it could be just this particular song. There may be others that I like a lot more. This one just didn't elicit anything in me. It happens. I'm feeling the exact same so far. I don't dislike it, but this track sounds like "generic Hollywood Fantasy music" to me rn :/ But I am trying not to prejudge the music, although I love what Trevor Morris created (like DA:I's Main Theme mentioned above or the Lost Elf Theme and many more) and I was bummed to hear he will not be back. So for now, let's wait and see...

About Tarot cards:
My critique about them is this: That fancy artistic interpretation is fine and dandy for the artist. However, If the "public" has a hard time figuring out what or who the Tarot card represents.... well, that misses the whole point of having them? In my case, it was only through the process of elimination that I found the Bellara card. ... and I'm suppose to use Tarot cards to create my Quizzy?

you mean create the "face" of the Inquisitor? I believe we will be using the tarot cards to answer the questions about the previous games for the "Inquisitor face" we will be using the usual CC... but maybe this time with body sliders for him too, not only for Rook

yes no problem. If you think anythink is importent feel free to add. But i will warn you the video is more than 1 hour. So it will take time.
Alright, so. I started listening to it but I'm afraid I don't have the brain capacity left to pay poper attention today (I also did not expect it to be an hour long). I will get back to it tomorrow morning, though! Another german gamer have said in an inerview with gronkh: Traslotion: You can skill your companions,by improving your relationship with them. Are you talking about the video where Gronkh is talking with Maurice Weber about his impressions from his interview and preview session with John Epler? I watched that last night but didn't take any notes since they mentioned that the interview will be uploaded later, so I was planning to pay closer attention to that instead. I wonder when it's going to be available...

Probably a trivial issue for some, but did anyone else wish that DAI autosaved BEFORE a conversation instead of after? I can't count the number of times I had to redo a conversation because I said the wrong thing (almost like RL!). I wonder what autosaving is like in DAV.
