Poster: There is literally nothing for them to gain by waiting until only a month or two before launch to announce the date. If they don't know for sure if they'll hit the date until the game is gold then something is wrong.
Also I need to request my PTO dammit.
Shinobi: It'll be announced soon, don't worry.
I'm wondering whose definition of soon they are using.

I thought the hunt for Solas ended in the prologue. Unless he escapes quickly and the hunt resumes? Hmm...

- Zach stood in for multiple characters for Mo-cap. He was Assan. - Lucanis has a heart but he is stubborn and is stuck in his ways. Zach is excited for fans to help his character open up as the story progresses.
- Jessica is a bit new to VO and was honored to play Neve - āthey auditioned and auditioned and auditioned usā (they really worked hard to find the right companions) - Jessica feels empowered playing Neve
- VAs separate while recording lines but still bonded really well and organically - is there a veilgaurd gc? Yes there are several! - Aly (voice of Harding) is an angel and very supportive of the new cast
Emmrich (Iām so sorry I keep forgetting how to spell his name) - āstone cold silver foxā from the moderator - BioWare knew the reaction they would get from the fandom about him LMAO

- Nick feels like heās been preparing for Emmrich all his life - he is obsessed with death (as a comfort and not scary) and enabling people to kind transition to death. Nick is attracted to the aspect of this character - āyouāre gonna need a dictionary for Emmrichā for all the magic spells - āinteresting how this character caught fire compared to the other sexy charactersā - Barlow had a great time recording with Nick, a very consistent VA - Manfred mention! - Nick and Matt Mercer have never met! -Manfred plays off of Emmrich - āI set the toneā
- what has Harding been up to inbetween Inquisition and Veilguard? Sheās been working with Varric closely and remnants of the Inquisition - (from comics) Harding and Neve already met
- Now to Ali. She didnāt realize that Scout Harding was such a beloved character. She thanked fans for bringing this character back. - Ali is super excited that this game is releasing. She said there has been an evolution to her character and that she has been chasing Solas for like a decade at this point.
- Still looking at Fall 2024 for a release date. Nothing specific given.
- Epler talks about companions may butt heads and wonāt be predictable - thousands and thousands of lines and so many characters to meet - Zach unfortunately has been around the dragon age Reddit before recording as Lucanis - referencing 2020 with the pandemic, Bioware had to pivot with working remotely and were able to push through their projects
Per Ali this game is going to take you into a world that will blow your minds.

- Q+A time! Also I donāt have any clips since Iām tweeting but Iām sure others will post soon! - Due to lockdown, a lot of recording done over zoom and the writers besides Barlow would jump in on the call to talk about previous personās lines
First question is about the background Factions!
- ācharacters not causesā - grey wardens for example you can work with in game
Second question: what was your first exposure to fantasy and do you implement it into the voice acting?
- Epler talks about LOTR and that every media you experience will seep out into your work - Barlow didnāt want the dialogue to sound modern - Zach loves Theseus and talks about the symbolism in dragon age - Jessica loved Greek mythology and lore - Nick talks about the Hobbit and would dress up in big boots and a cape when his mom would read it to him - Ali recently went to Greece and felt like she saw DA everywhere
- summary of veilgaurd: hunting solas, found family companions, stop the elven gods - Epler talked a bit about his history in Bioware - Barlow talking about auditioning for the companions and specifically were looking for character chemistry - Mo cap was used - Lucanis from Crows, sees assassination as a job, mention of other Crows š - Zach read Tevinter Nights! (About 3 times) - āhis mind is as dangerous as his knivesā and also ākinda hilariousā
Third question: from your companions perspective which previous companion would you romance?
- Zach ākinda have a thing for the iron bullā and āoh that awakened something inside of meā - Jessica is too overwhelmed to answer - Nick thinks Solas is sexy - Ali fangirling over Lucanis and Emmrich
Fourth question: is Veilguard and Inquisition streamlined together) (paraphrasing)
- dragon age games are not as streamlined as Mass Effect and act almost as standalones
fifth question: what aspects of your character is your favorite?
- Ali loves the little quirks about Harding - Lucanis is a good cook!? - Neve is very dry and pretty closed off about it - Emmrich and the exploration of the idea of death and necromancy
Sixth question: how do you decide to introduce the lore in each game?
- depends as they build each game - always know the base lore, and see opportunities through game mechanics and characters - try not to infodump
- summary of veilgaurd: hunting solas, found family companions, stop the elven gods - Epler talked a bit about his history in Bioware - Barlow talking about auditioning for the companions and specifically were looking for character chemistry - Mo cap was used - Lucanis from Crows, sees assassination as a job, mention of other Crows š - Zach read Tevinter Nights! (About 3 times) - āhis mind is as dangerous as his knivesā and also ākinda hilariousā
The hunt doesn't have to be literal - it may he a hunt for information, hunt for Solas' past, or parts of his power, or any things related to him that could help the Veilguard stop the Evanuris, or whatever they finally end up confronting.

Right now it's a pseudo-toggle, you press it once (while moving) to start sprinting and then as long as you keep moving you keep sprinting. If you let got of the movement controls, you stop sprinting.
