for those who speak German. gamestar talk have made a dragon age video.
Edit: I try to translate importen parts out of it. - We will not zoom out further. (the reason for only 2 companions) - (if i understand correct) we can re-skill the companions. So that we can take the companions we want. - he discribed Tevinter as dark middle ages. - In the beginning you have the decision in a tavern to fight or go away. So you don't allways have to fight.
Apologies, I got distracted. And as a disclaimer, GER>EN is not my preferred direction to translate in, so please bear with me 😅 (also, I personally find it difficult to summarize things nicely) The reasoning here is very interesting (And the person who interviewed Corinne, in this case, assumes the combat system will be one of, if not the most controversial point of DA:TV):
They initially did playtests with 3 companions, but they want the camera focus to be on Rook and the player to be right in the middle of the combat action. That's why 2 companions are "necessary", due to the combat being this action-y and presumably a resulting "game breaking" lack of overview if it's 3 characters and you zoom out further. (Tbh here I am not quite sure where he paraphrased Corinne's reasoning and where it is his own assumptions and/or conclusions. That's why I put these two very interesting adjectives in "...")
Hmm, this was actually mentioned by Eleen, who did not talk to Corinne. She compared DA to BG3 here, where you can change the class of companions to whatever you want, but that it wouldn't make sense for DA, especially with what implications being able to use magic has for someone in this world. Dimitri actually praises DA4 for not being the next interation of "dark middle ages", for daring this "creative escape from the dark middle ages" by having this contrast of poverty, dark streets and neon magic in case of Minrathous ^^
Lastly, here are some more things I found worth mentioning which I think have not been mentioned anywhere else on here (but I am also following Felassan on tumblr, so I might mix up some things):
- There is some exposition in the beginning (which was cut from the public gameplay reveal), not through reading endless texts, but provided by Varric as you go and discover some of the old Elven ruins Tevinter is built upon and interact with Solas's murals
- Healing magic is back (but I think we knew that already?)
- In this demo Rook was a "Melee Mage" whose combat actions already looked amazing at Level 1
- At the end of the demo something significant happened, based on a decision he could make, which made him go "oof! (for lack of better paraphrasing, I'm sorry)
No Apologies needed. You make me really happy. You have earned a diligence sticker. If you know what i mean. Big thanks .

But Knight Enchanter seems out of place and Rift Mage was definitely an Inquisition thing. Don't really feel Knight Enchanter is out of place in a place ruled by mages but I'd be happy with Battle Mage instead, so long as I can be in the thick of it. Rift Mage is more likely to return given we are going to be running around with a Veil Jumper but may be it will be adjusted in terms of spells and abilities it grants and then renamed Veil mage or something similar. Wish we could have a bit more information about classes and specialisms.

Thedas’s separate regions are connected by The Crossroads That makes it sound like Solas could be assisting us unless he loses control to the other two and they leave it permanently open. However, if he still has control then it would make sense to only grant limited access or give us a special key if that is what is needed. Perhaps the glowing sword has that function.

I saw a YT talk about the gameplay demo they got to see at Game Fest. Apparently, some of what was cut from Tuesday's presentation was going underneath the city. They saw old elven stuff, including paintings made by Solas containing story spoiler stuff. It was apparently a 45-1 hour long demo and the shortened version was almost 25 minutes. And I suspect they didn't check all the nook and cranny in Minrathous in that 1 hour.
2 hours intro easy for me I guess. Especially if I have to decode Solas fresco again.
Yeh given I'll wantto exploe ran dtak em ytime it'll likely tak eme some tim etoo

When I read about the crossroad, my mind went straight to the dagger.
But at the same time, Solas left the Eluvian to his ritual site open to all to go through so, maybe the entire thing just reset itself.

I pretty much got an answer to my zoom out camera question, not specifically to that question but it was part of one of Corinne's answers about making the experience more intimate and making you feel like you're in the game, so the camera is pulled in closer and I doubt there will be a zoom out. Not a fan of this and the reasoning I don't really take. I never felt that I wasn't walking through the world an cities in the previous games because I could zoom the camera out. If I wanted to look closely at something I brought it close in but the zoom out was very helpful for most of my experience. Sigh, waiting for mods it is.
