ericfpeterson I love that they chose a no mage party to showcase. 😂 The two companions thing had me a little worried that I’d have to take a warrior and a mage into battle with my Rook rogue all the time.
corinne_at_last We know players get attached to certain characters, so while there are benefits to having one of each class, it’s completely viable and intended that you can find synergies with a variety of party comps

Q: Can only warriors kick or can other classes kick as well? 👀 BIO_brenonThere are other abilities and moves that can knock enemies back, I think it's probably (?) easiest with the Warrior kick... That said, if you love introducing your enemies to the perils of gravity, you have ways of doing that with other classes too. 🙂 - Lol... awesome.

Amy Evans @amypisces.bsky.social I play mage as my first playthrough always & I can't wait to see mage combat ! You guys have been pumped about spellblade so I'm intrigued, though in most games (any game where I'm a magic user, not just DA) I like to stand in the back and hurl fire. So I'm interested to see it all play out!
Trick Weekes @trickweekes.bsky.social I don't want to spoil any awesome videos we might have coming, so I will just say that as someone who played Arcane Warrior in DAO and Knight Enchanter in DAI, the orb-and-blade mage combat style, and particularly the Spellblade, is everything I ever wanted. Not a tank mage -- a roguelike mage.

Speaking about arrows and combat so fast, I guess the Archer Class can shoot what 10 arrows/minute?

Never played Arcane Warrior nor Knight Enchanter.. no interest. Just give me a mage that casts long range spells. BG3 is awesome in this regard.
As a cold spellcaster, my understanding is I can equip myself with three spells (ie: two cold and one Healing spell), aided by runes, ring and amulet + party combos... I think. Now, the two gameplay demos showed Rook about 90% of the time. It will be interesting to see what the other two are doing/helping/dealing hurt, while my Mage is standing casting damage. Unfortunately, I bet that the mage demo to come will have Rook the mage as something other than pure range mage.... which is not what I want to see. The little bit of the mage combat we saw showed Rook in the middle of it. And, if so, it means I must move around constantly....crap mechanic I say... I can't recall DAO-DA2 being so bloody complex... Maybe because I relied on the AI script.
Is there even such a thing as a sniper concept in this game? Oh, and can I heal myself?

Path of Exile has a user defined loot filter that you can use. That cuts down crap loot and you only see the good stuff. And, inventory management better be upgraded too and please don't add the weight feature... that adds to loot farming grind.

soficious_ I have a question (not sure if @bioware or @corinne_at_last can answer this) but can we choose our last name in DragonAgeTheVeilguard ? Or is it predefined like in the other games? 👀
This reminds me of DAO, where each origin had a specific last name.
corinne_at_last Each Background has a specific last name, very much inspired by the approach in Origins

Again, I'm not talking about runes, I'm talking about an actual skill in the Warrior talent tree. Please point me to an actual skill in a warrior talent tree in Dragon Age: Origins that gives you the ability to have a flaming sword. I guess I should have been more clear. Spirit Warrior lets you do magic. I don't think it's magic in the trailer, but if it is, there's precedent in Origins. ...I don't know where this is going anymore as we have veered completely off my original question. I won't bother bringing it up again here as it's better suited in the gameplay reveal thread.

My favorite is when I run up to the edge of a cliff, then one of your companions catches up, and juuuust nudges you over the edge. DAI: The Descent was fun, wasn't it? My archer rogue kept backflipping into the abyss in so many places.

My archer rogue kept backflipping into the abyss in so many places. In DAI there was a ruined warden fortress, kinda dark with darkspawn coming from some pit of despair. There was a hole in the ground, I still don't understand why. You couldn't see much, and trying to avoid the horde of darkspawn , I fell down that hole i don't know how many time. Some environment designer went a bit sadist with this one.

Trick Weekes @trickweekes.bsky.socialI don't want to spoil any awesome videos we might have coming, so I will just say that as someone who played Arcane Warrior in DAO and Knight Enchanter in DAI, the orb-and-blade mage combat style, and particularly the Spellblade, is everything I ever wanted. Not a tank mage -- a roguelike mage. My two favourite classes have always been rogue and mage, although I do love Arcane Warrior and even Knight Enchanter, but it wasn't the same as the former whatever Solas might maintain. It looks as though the orb and blade mage combat isn't unique to Spellblade, though, which would account for my confusion originally because the mage in the clip during the week was doing cold damage, yet the element ascribed to Spellblade is electricity. The answer now is simple, the mage in the clip was an Evoker (specialist cold mage), not a Spellblade.

corinne_at_lastEach Background has a specific last name, very much inspired by the approach in Origins I didn't get the impression our last name was that important to the narrative in DAO, except perhaps in the case of the human and dwarven nobles but even then how often was our last name actually referenced? From what I remember no matter your background you were always just referred to as "the Warden". However, it was different in DAI because whilst we didn't get to choose our last name, I liked the fact that they actually used our name when we are introduced at the Winter Palace, so we weren't just the Lord Inquisitor but Lord (or Lady) Inquisitor Lavellan. So, I hope there is more of that in DAV since we have to choose a faction and thus get given a name, so using it makes it feel less generic and more specific to the character I am role playing.

Trick Weekes @trickweekes.bsky.socialI don't want to spoil any awesome videos we might have coming, so I will just say that as someone who played Arcane Warrior in DAO and Knight Enchanter in DAI, the orb-and-blade mage combat style, and particularly the Spellblade, is everything I ever wanted. Not a tank mage -- a roguelike mage. My two favourite classes have always been rogue and mage, although I do love Arcane Warrior and even Knight Enchanter, but it wasn't the same as the former whatever Solas might maintain. It looks as though the orb and blade mage combat isn't unique to Spellblade, though, which would account for my confusion originally because the mage in the clip during the week was doing cold damage, yet the element ascribed to Spellblade is electricity. The answer now is simple, the mage in the clip was an Evoker (specialist cold mage), not a Spellblade. So Evoker isn’t a full mage, either? The mage in the clip looks like a rogue-mage hybrid class to me as well. Unfortunately for me rogue is my least favorite class. And Evoker can only cast ice spells and not other elements? Is it just a few here who like to play full mages? Everyone else is okay with them cutting the full mage class and having only hybrid options for mage?
