I wonder if, with all the new factions and stuff, there will be a new manual/reprint of the tabletop rpg. I was looking up to get it for my group (we wanted to make an adventure in Thedas instead of the usual D&d) but the prices are quite hight and not easily to find (at least phisical).

Made me sad to see Mary Kirby's name as a writer and remember she's not there anymore, I still think that's a grave injustice to her contributions to the franchise. That's why I've decided to make Lucanis my first romance as it will be a way of honouring her contribution by exploring his character as much as I can, so all her effort won't be wasted. I found it interesting to learn that the story has been pretty much there since the end of Trespasser, it was just the way they presented it that kept getting changed. As for the companions, it is clear from the Behind the Scenes trailer and Tevinter Nights that most of them have been around for at least 4 years too, possibly longer, so I'm hopeful about them too. What I've been wondering is that Mike Laidlaw said after he left that originally they had planned on a game featuring a number of "heists". He said he was sorry that it would never see the light of day. As it turned out that would be when they swapped to multi-player, so I'm wondering if when they swapped back again they were able to resurrect a lot of those ideas he thought had been lost.

Regarding Mage specializations: I expect Necromancer to return, given Emmrich. But Knight Enchanter seems out of place and Rift Mage was definitely an Inquisition thing. So. I'm sort of expecting a more Tevinter-themed melee mage spec and an Arlathan themed spec similar to Rift Mage, maybe Veil Mage. I coul dsee Rif tmag ereturnin gbut a tweaked vresion o fi tgiven we d ohave things lik eVeil jumpers in this nw egame.

He would do great in The Crazy Theory Center thread. I'm speaking from experience. If the game has the spider-hands they showed years ago, I expect the nug one to be true. And I can't wait to see the Inquisitor or Morrigan as a nug. Leliana will take good care of them. I'm side eyeing the "the apostate will betray us" part.

To be honest (and I've recently mentioned this) what I found odd about Sera's response to the Temple of Mythal is that it seemed back to front to me. I didn't romance her but she still called my Inquisitor an idiot for believing in it. That seemed a strange response because surely it vindicated everything she had been saying about Dalish and even city elf culture, that it was based on a lie. She presumably thought it was all made up stories but just because it turns out the elven gods were real, doesn't take away from the fact that the stories were wrong. The gods weren't fluffy and benign. Mythal was killed. The ancient elves don't think modern elves are real elves, so what is the point of trying to live like them? Yet she wanted my Dalish to reject the truth and what? Go back to believing the lie? She stated it was all the work of demons, so based on that logic I could still go on believing what I had up to then. Do you see why I had a problem with this? As it was, my female Lavellan had fallen out of friendship with her after the punching the guy to a pulp incident, so she wasn't bothered what Sera thought, whilst my male Lavellan, who had viewed Sera as a petulant child but managed to keep her sweet up to then, just shrugged and said, then call me stupid if you wish but I'm accepting it as the truth. I could never see how either of them would have romanced her, even if she had been available to my male Lavellan. Her anti-elf rhetoric was so palpable it seemed like self abuse to even consider it. Sera is obviously not mature enough but also I don't think she's mentally stable enough to have a reasonable and logical conversation about anything elf related but also more esoteric stuff like belief. All she's known her entire life was extremes, she doesn't know what to do with nuance and how to grasp it. She wants things to be simple because simple is easy. She says she joined the Inquisition because she wants to understand but she doesn't actually want that, she wants to be proven right and validated. After the attack on Haven she suddenly is very shaken by the fact that the seat of the Maker could be real-real, not faith-real. She says she believes in Andraste but the second Cory showes up and talks about walking in the Black City she's very shaken and says she didn't want to be that right. She's not really prepared to understand the nuance of being proud you're an elf because you're still finding and rebuilding pieces of your identity but at the same time understand you got some things wrong on the way to rebuilding your culture from scraps. That requires self reflection and in the main game Sera wasn't really one for that. I'll just add this in on Sera. Last night I was playing through Trespasser and at one point in the party banter Cassandra and Sera have a convo that I'll paraphrase. Cassandra: You know, Sera I have really missed you. Sera: Aw, I've really missed you too. Especially you being in front of me...bashing things. Sera seems abrasive but she does care and can feel.

Didn't mean to imply doesn't care or feel, if anything, she feels very strongly and without filter. And in Trespasser she has actually matured and mellowed a little bit.

Oh I thought you were defending her and I was adding to your defense! She is incredibly young in DAI, damaged emotionally, and basically a messed up, rebellious kid. She is a strong individualist and I think a lot of her bratty comments are defensiveness against being typecast by a world she was orphaned into. When you approach Sera and you deal with her as an Inquisitor you have to manage her like you would the local churlish goth kid in real life. Give them a little room and understanding. Sera is a great rogue and if you build her right she gets kinda op late game.

Anyone thought about how this game will play with a keyboard and mouse?
Finger nimble, I'm no more. This fast real time action with parry, bash, swing.. whatever, is fine for a controller but I can't see the same with a K&M. I used to play WOW with a 12 button mouse. Each button had a key assigned to it. Playing is easy and my thumb would press on the appropriate key when required. I like to know how the DAV console to PC port will work and how well.
Can anyone ask that question to Bio devs?

Someone did over there and BioBrendan answered that he is playing the game, while testing, with KBM. I got your same concerns. I might buy a controller and have it handy.

Didn't mean to imply doesn't care or feel, if anything, she feels very strongly and without filter. And in Trespasser she has actually matured and mellowed a little bit. Yes, I was surprised how much she had matured. I think the writers took on board some of the criticism. She can be really kind if you lost your clan in the War Table mission and from what I recall is the only person who does mention it. Varric was the one who was irritatingly juvenile in Trepasser, whether it is his attitude as Viscount or his stupid joke with Cassandra that backfired spectacularly, for me anyway. His hints to Cassandra had her making me think Dorian was going to propose and then I went round to see him only to discover the opposite was true and he was leaving for Tevinter, permanently. Then I tried the Inquisitior who actually romanced Cassandra. Boy, was that embarrassing. It was the one time I really felt like punching Varric but I got over it. Finally, I ran with my Lavellan who romanced Solas. Once again Varric's humour didn't hit right and Cassandra came across as dense. What do you know, it was Vivienne who understood how she might be feeling. Trespasser was full of surprises.

When you approach Sera and you deal with her as an Inquisitor you have to manage her like you would the local churlish goth kid in real life. Give them a little room and understanding. That's the approach I adopted with my male Lavellan. He was used to jumped up bratty kids talking back at him in the clan. So, he cut her some slack and we actually started to get along. He was a hunter so they could do target practice together (in my head of course, although it would have been good if we could have had a session like the one we had with Garrus). The prickly relations with my female Lavellan were always on the cards considering she was a mage and apprentice Keeper, so magic user and teacher of lore, not a good combination when dealing with Sera. That is the fun with multiple playthroughs, you can role play each PC differently and get different results. Female Lavellen was my first and I gathered I may have missed some Sera content through their strained relationship, so I made my male Lavellan more mellow and hey presto, suddenly we're sitting on the roof enjoying cookies together.

So, I've been thinking about potential mage specializations, and most of the ones we already know seem to more or less be the ones we had in DAI:
Duelist - Assassin Saboteur - Artificer Veil Ranger - Tempest (in the sense of "magic-y ranger")
Reaper - Reaver Champion - Champion Slayer - This one seems different from Templar
So my wild guesses for mages are:
Blood magic - we are in Tevinter ffs, we can finally do it without anyone blinking! Arcane warrior - it's a popular one that's existed in some form in 2/3 games (knight-enchanter in DAI), and we know mages will be going melee this time. Force mage - one of my favorite specs that kinda survived partially into DAI with the rift mage, it's the least likely one to appear, but it's great fun!

I'm also curious about m&kb and mostly if I can zoom the camera out a bit, it feels too restrictive so close to the action. If not, I'll hold out hope for an eventual mod that will let me do that.

All romancable characters being pan/bi does not make them badly written or have less personality. Just as having all romancable characters being straight wouldn't. It does not make them any more sex dolls with no agency than the romances in previous games are. I agree that romancable characater having a variety of different sexualities would have been good because A ) it would have provided more representation and B ) some people being not interested when you flirt with them adds to immersion. Much as them getting together with some one else when you don't romance them does. But it doesn't make the characters themselves deeper or better written. This. I'm scratching my head a bit at Gaider's comment, especially with regard to BG3. How would gender or race locking have made them more interesting? And why are they less interesting as playersexual? Granted, I have only seen two romances (Gale and Shadowheart) but I don't understand. SH and Astarion have among the best character arcs I have ever seen and that has nothing whatsoever to do with their sexuality. It's completely irrelevant. I guess one could argue that Astarion should have been uninterested in sex after you get to know him and I think it's actually brought up. But that's about trauma. Again, shouldn't matter who you romance him as. Aside from Dorian I can't think of any character arc that couldn't have happened playersexual. And Dorian is a very special case where it's actually about Tevinter society being really into bloodlines. So in a way it wasn't that being gay was the problem per se it was not producing an heir, right? So in a world where normally there is no sexual discrimination why would sexuality matter and have any impact on a companion's personality? The Dragon Aged universe should be the least one where sexuality shapes a person's life like it does when you have to fear being killed for it. THAT sure shapes you. And yet you can tell so many stories about a character that have nothing to do with sexuality but imo very few stories about sexuality. They're always the same stories to me. Maybe I'm being insensitive here. But I'd rather talk about what makes a person unique. And their sexuality doesn't. That's my take, anyway. (It's really difficult trying to keep track of topics spread over half a dozen threads, lol.)

So, I've been thinking about potential mage specializations, and most of the ones we already know seem to more or less be the ones we had in DAI: I think they might be reviving some specs from earlier games but as with DAI with Knight Enchanter and Arcane Warrior (multi-player) they have adjusted them somewhat. Actually, I might be worth looking at DAMP for some ideas because there did have classes there that weren't in the main game. Duelist: Isabella appeared in DAMP and of course this was her specialism. I'm not sure what they have given to the duelist this time round but they could well have built on what they gave her, plus thrown in some assassin abilities as well. Saboteur: Luca was in multi-player and known as a Alchemist and this seems to have an element of tempest about it plus some other unique abilities. However, it could be the saboteur combines aspects of that class and the artificer. Veil ranger: This could be literally anything. As you suggest that could involve the tempest spec. Possibly also incorporating some of the old shadow spec from DA2 as that might link with the use of the Veil. As you say, unless they have revamped Reaver and Champion they pretty much speak for themselves. Slayer: This always makes me think of Baldur's Gate 2 and the Bhaalspawn, plus Buffy. Perhaps some of the abilities of Katari, the former Antaam plus those of Arnaud, the Avvar who had some elemental aligned warrior abiliites, plus perhaps those of a dwarven beserker. I don't think we'll have blood mage as a option. That's purely for the bad guys. Otherwise I think we could have some serious problems with some of our companions. I think Harding, Neve and Lucanis would have strong objections to working with a blood mage. Arcane Warrior/Knight Enchanter: There is a strong possibility of some sort of melee type mage (as we've been discussing on another thread). Possibly they may bring back some of the attributes of the Battle mage. May also make it possible to switch to ranged weapons as an Arcane Archer. Elementalist would be good with a focus on elemental magic. This could be where the Battle mage comes in. Rift Mage: Some variation on these abilities would likely return because of the injection of magic and the fact we will be doing Veil Jumping.

First thought when I saw the combat was “hope the pc version has ps4 controller support”

Added the following questions from here to the askbioware channel: - Will our Rooks have a set last name, like before? - Will there be romanceable characters outside of the Team? - How the dialogue with NPCs during exploration will be presented? The camera in the shoulder like DAI or the cutscenes like DA:O and DA2? - please ask about the mage Specializations and whether the Inquisitor's love interest will be making an appearance? I would add: -Will there be something like the operations from the War Table in DAI? -Will there be important NPC characters in The Lighthouse outside the companions? Characters in roles like the advisors in DAI, for example -Will there be funcions like Lockpicking? so, to keep things organized : - Will our Rooks have a set last name, like before? - Will there be romanceable characters outside of the Team? - How the dialogue with NPCs during exploration will be presented? The camera in the shoulder like DAI or the cutscenes like DA:O and DA2? - please ask about the mage Specializations and whether the Inquisitor's love interest will be making an appearance? -Will there be something like the operations from the War Table in DAI? -Will there be important NPC characters in The Lighthouse outside the companions?

I guess one could argue that Astarion should have been uninterested in sex after you get to know him and I think it's actually brought up. I'll put this in spoilers as I'm doing Astarion's romance at the moment (act 2, so I haven't seen act 3 yet): He actually admits to only having sex with you out of concern for his safety, and if you treat him with concern and respect he will actually stop having sex with you in act 2. If you push him and tell him to "get over it" he will have sex with you and then break up. So I'd say BG3 did deal with this aspect of it. Astarion's whole arc is so reminiscent of Fenris for me, I feel like the only reason I didn't romance him out of habit was because he completely turned me down in act 1 lol.

Astarion's whole arc is so reminicent of Fenris for me, I feel like the only reason I didn't romance him out of habit was because he completely turned me down in act 1 lol. Yes I heard about that. Haven't been able to romance him yet because of the Gale bug, sigh. I think that is such an awesome detail that just wants me to romance him even more. No shade to BioWare or Gaider but that's such a heart breaking mature take on trauma and sex, I really fail to see how playersexual held BG3 back. SH's arc when you corrupt her is maybe the best writing of a companion I have ever seen. And if you romance her that way it's so shocking, disturbing and heart breaking. Her good path is amazing too but I was in awe of how different she'll turn out. That's the level of deep character interaction I want to see again. Take notes, BioWare!

I think Astarion is well written in late Act 2 and 3 but whoever decided to make him so incredibly stupid when it comes to approval really ruined him for me on my first playthrough.
Like I got the Morrigan-esque disapproval of just helping random nobodies but when he disapproved of my character saving Isobel from Marcus I reloaded the save, benched him, and didn't interact with him til Act 3. Like you are disapproving of me preventing mass death?
Which is why I have qualms about people who say BG3 has impeccable writing. Overall it's good but where it's weak it's WEAK. Who in their right mind would let a vampire bite them before they knew he was a spawn? It takes a lot of metagaming.
Not to mention all the Larian-isms like TPKing your party when the DM doesn't even tell you that the enemies that were currently on your floor suddenly teleported to the top and mass nuked your party with powder, when any reasonable DM in a D&D game would inform you that they are repositioning to put you in a vulnerable state. I found it funny but it's basically forced me to metagame that section every time afterwards. Oof that was badly written.
Edit: and I just realized I went on a ranty tangent lol sorry I cant wait for the Q&A.
