Hopefully, I'm not putting words in your mouth with this. I think what you're asking for is a mage that keeps to the background and hurls spells and buffs/debuffs from afar, while the Rogue's and Warriors stick to close combat. That's what my gut is thinking at least. I think what's going to matter most here is: 1) What skills does the mage class get? 2) Do the other two specializations (Evoker and Death Caller) play with a ranged combat style in mind? 3) Is there a means of reducing your mages threat level/aggro so you don't get constantly harassed? I don't begrudge anyone who likes this style of play, and I do think it should be valid. Thing is, we haven't really seen the depths of the Mages skill tree and what these other specializations entail. We also don't know if threat reduction - as a stat - is something that is in the game as it was with Inquisition. Of course, I'm also aware that even if these concerns were to be alleviated, a lot of mage players probably still aren't happy with having only three abilities to choose from. Having lots of abilities/spells I can choose is what I really want so I can have powerful aoes and healing spells and control spells. I am obviously not getting that. Since I canβt have variety in spells, then the best I can hope for is very powerful aoe spells such as fireball that I can fire down on enemies from range. Will Evoker be a heavy damage aoe spec? Itβs not clear to me. I donβt want to use a sword, dagger, or heavy weapon attack, and Death Caller isnβt for me if it is a necromancy specialty. Now i understand you. We don't know how many spells we get. We have to wait to see more of the mage skill tree. But i am sure we get a selection with skill tree and even more over the runes, as you see in the first video. The warrior got an ice spell over the rune.

I was wondering why the V symbol for the Veilguard was bugging me (in a there is something fishy about it way). I think I found out why. A similar iconography was in Trespasser, in an Evanuris mosaic set: The "V" there is probably Andruil's hat based on the Missing comic
Could just be a coincidence and I don't know if they attribuated the hats after Trespasser or before.

Could just be a coincidence and I don't know if they attribuated the hats after Trespasser or before. " class="smile"] They never had those officially in the game. People just data mined the program associated with Fen'Harel's sanctuary to find them. It is a bit strange that having removed them from the game, they would still use similar iconography for our new faction. However, if they were originally going to be in his sanctuary, then it means they were likely associated with his fellow leaders of the rebellion (the word Anaris, the name of one of the Forgotten Ones was in his password). That might account for the use of the symbol for the Veilguard as we are also semi-aligned with him now. Up to now there have been 3 named Forgotten Ones, so it is possible they were originally meant to signify them, as Dalish myth says they were fighting the gods, that they saw Fen'Harel as a friend and then he tricked them as well. Perhaps the Evanuris are not the only ones that Rook inadvertently freed. Or alternatively, the similarity in the symbol is a warning that he will eventually betray Rook too. Perhaps not every dragon is associated with the Evanuris. May be one of his old pals decides to side with us against them. Who was the sinner who flew in the forbidden form of the divine and what sentence did Elgar'nan place on him? The V shaped headdress does remind me of the horns on the big dragon that confronts Rook's party. Also what about these statues and assigned eluvians? One seems to represent Ghil, but what about the other two? They also resemble the absent mosaics. Of course, they are also found in the symbols on the circular image surrounding the Golden City in the 2022 trailer, which we've assumed represented the Evanuris since it was associated with Varric describing him imprisoning them but equally could have been, perhaps, seven Old Gods distinct from them. Bow head is the common factor that seems to unite them.

Neve, Harding, or Bellara I think. Neve and Harding are the first companions we meet, and Bellara: Bellara is our elven magic nerd of the party. That almost makes me more confident she won't betray us knowingly (let's face it that would be just a repeat of Solas). However, the enthusiasm she has for new discoveries does make me a little concerned that she may not show sufficient caution when investigating them. She sounded genuinely overawed at the prospect of confronting their gods but more on the basis that it seemed an impossible task, not that she wanted to join them. Merrill Jr?

I think Bellara could draw similarities from Liara, Merrill and Peebee, while being different from all three.

I wonder if she is still on good terms with her Keeper? After all, Strife's Keeper gave him a book that was an ancient artifact of the clan when it started writing itself. I always assumed this was because the Keeper thought Strife would enjoy trying to decode it but perhaps it was a case of let's give the possessed tome to the new guy because he'll be too stupid to realise the potential danger. I really do want to know how/why they called themselves the Veil Jumpers. People aren't know for "jumping" the Veil and what does that have to do with finding and researching ancient artifacts? (Also, could the writers really not come up with a different name rather than having our faction share a descriptor with theirs?)

2) Do the other two specializations (Evoker and Death Caller) play with a ranged combat style in mind? Have you seen the rtx trailer? Their you see range mage combat level 1. I have, and yes. I think all mages will have a ranged option. My presumption was that Frost might have been concerned about how much he can stay at a distance, but their bigger concern was how deep the usable mage ability pool was (i.e. how many can be used at the same time).

Either they'll talk about each of them, one day each, so for the seven days of this week, or they'll divide them in groups. If nothing is shown today, it's likely going to be the latter.

Lets reacquaint with the companions, also drop some bombs about them: Taash breathes fire. Lucanis deals necrotic damage (so totaly not dead you know!) The Necromancer is a healer.

Lucanis' description hint once more towards the possibility of being merged with a demon/spirit. Taash's reveal is both interesting and confusing. It seems they're leaning deep with the connection of the dragon's blood, and I think/hope she could be the conduit in knowing the true nature behind her race. It's however confusing that she also possesses fire-based abilities, given that Davrin, from the warrior's standpoint, covers it as well.

Noticed Taash is the only companion that doesnβt have male or female pronouns used in the description. I hope that means Taash is non-binary.
