did they answer any kind of questions about background/factions? Last name is based on faction - sounds like every race will be same for that faction. Had to limit it because they reference it sometimes in dialogue and it would have been too excessive to handle all of the possibilities. There was a question about faction-specific armor. It sounds like most of the time you can wear armor of any faction but maybe some bonuses/upgrades could be faction dependent. Wish I had taken notes on this one because there was also something Corinne said about focusing on helping a particular faction if you wanted their best gear but now I can't remember the exact details.

We can see something related to that in the high level Warrior trailer, the helmet has a locked bonus that is dependent on your Lord of Fortune "allied strength".

Thanks, yup that's what I was thinking about! I found that interesting because it seemed to kind of allude to a faction reputation system which was also briefly mentioned in one of those GI articles. Would love to know more about that.

My take on the rooms:
4. Bellara = Room with head statue and with some green in ceiling. 6. Neve = Winding stairs room 7. Davrin = Cheese room for his Griphon
EDIT: Ok got the links to my satisfaction

This game just keeps sounding better and better. Best of Origins. Best of DA2/ME 2/ Andromeda. Throw in a dash of Inquisition and we may have something cooking.

With this kind of marketing it is really hard to avoid spoilers. I had hoped for many fans that they wait with the spoiler for later. So that people that don't like spoilers can see more of the marketing material.
most spoilers we've gotten have pretty much been guessed, leaked, or widely speculated on...sure it counts...but makes me wonder what they're hiding.
Taash... I think

I'm really amazed at what things are important to many players. And also that Bioware answers certain questions, ignoring the more technical ones
"Can we hug the companions?" WTF is this really important??? it's action RPG...talk about gameplay not these useless things

Lol, all those things you mention are actually mechanics of an RPG game, since they directly impact the roleplaying experience.

You sound just like the guy who tried to hit on me because we both liked Dragon Age. He ended up saying something like: "Oh, you can clearly see how this game is not for women " when I told him I enjoy the companions and don't care about the combat.

WTF is this really important??? it's action RPG...talk about gameplay not these useless things A lot of (if not most) fans of Bioware games play them for things like story, lore and characters. So it's not surprising at all that some might want to know how we can interact with the companions.
