By the way. We all heard The Veilguard's score, built around Veilguard's main theme. But I'm a bit curious what do folks think about Rook's theme? And no, they didn't release anything new, but it's quite easy to piece together from stuff they already released. And the easiest way to listen to it is in the video below. We can hear a version of it in Rook's game intro, obviously. The main leitmotif is those 5 notes played on a dulcimer. I liked that arrangement immediately. First Veilguard track ever to do that. That one in deep dive video sound a little sci-fi for Dragon Age. You could easily insert it in Mass Effect. A lot more mellow version of Rook's theme is also in CC. I LOVE these slow tracks that are in CC.

Yea, I think people forget that "Asian" doesn't just mean "East Asian". Middle East is technically part of Asia. Indians are Asian. Many minorities under Russian rule are Asian. Etc, etc. So, technically DA always has at least an Wesetern and Southern Asian representation, given that many Tevenes look quite Indian, or Middle Eastern. Ah, yes! Over here in UK 'Asian' tends to mean all of Asia rather than just the far east (the American use), hence my confusion haha. Same here. I recently read a Reddit comment about how we haven't had an Asian protagonist in Assassin's Creed before, when literally the first one is Syrian.

Ramon Tikaram, Dorian's VA, is of Indo-Fijian and Malaysian descent. I just always imagined Dorian had similar ancestry.

Middle East is technically part of Asia. Same here. I recently read a Reddit comment about how we haven't had an Asian protagonist in Assassin's Creed before, when literally the first one is Syrian. Here again. Sorry i have missunderstand the word middle east. For me middle east was allways its own, not europe not asia.
Edit: Middle East is technically part of Asia. Indians are Asian. Indian is asian, but not middle east for me.
Edit2: Dorian is meant to be Asian isn't he? They gave his dad an accent too, and Dorian was played by Ramon Tikaram who is of Indian descent. For me dorian was more arabic then asian. To give you a more precise answer with my new learned english words. For you yes. For me he is what you called middle East (A word we don't use often unless in news of the USA) what i called arabic before. And in my mind it is as much asian as russia is aian for me.

I tend to refer to the sports definition when i tcomes t ogeography and before they ewn tt owar with Ukraine the ywere registered with UEFA so when the yrtied to pla yfo ra spot in th eworld cup an dstuff the ywere par to fEurope's qualifying rounds. The yhav ebeen suspended from participatin gatm thanks t othe war. Butthat's on them but I consider Russia european. But as I asid I generally use the sports definitions. But yea hI'd say Middle East is generally considered part o fAsia as Bahrain and UAE play in the Asian Cups when i tcomes tt ofootball

A very polite and evil Dorian. He also seems to voice half the NPCs in Star Wars Outlaws. He did the same in Greedfall.

Dorian has been in a lot of things over here in the U.K. Usually you know it's him by the sound of his voice but he does alter it sometimes according to the part (I find it funny when he tries to sound common). He had a small part in Game of Thrones (one of the mercenary leaders that Daario double crosses and kills for Daenarys). One thing I did notice though some years back after DAI, when he gave his career resume, he always gave prominence to his VA work on Dorian, so I think he was rather proud of it.

I hope we get to see "The Black Divine" at some point. I have to wonder if we'll see the Archon... I wonder about both of them. I always thought that bald headed dude on the litter in concept art was probably the Black Divine. He got mentions in DAI from Dorian and Josephine gave us the tit-bit that the Archon likes cats, whilst the latter also featured in the comic series Mage Killer. The main link though is that floating building that is the Archon's palace. It is strange but when they said it was visible from everywhere in Minrathous in Half Up Front, I just assumed that meant it was up on a hill at the high point of the island, not floating in the air. It was odd that Dorian didn't mention that when he was talking about his homeland and referred to floating cows instead. Also, the protagonist in the story was hired to steal an object from the palace, and planned how to do this by studying the layout from the roof of a building opposite the servants' entrance and climbed into the structure before escaping through the sewers. So I imagine that either there is an old Archon's Palace at ground level and a new one floating in the sky, or they found a way to levitate the entire structure after the various break-ins in that story. Perhaps they used red lyrium, since that is what Cory used to make the Temple of Sacred Ashes zoom skywards. Anyway, if the Archon felt threatened by just Corypheus and the Venatori, he must be wetting himself at the return of the elven gods, so I assume we shall see him at some point asking for assistance. Not quite so sure about the Black Divine except as an antagonist. He wasn't averse to using blood magic, nor were his allies, so I think he would be willing to work with the Venatori provided they gave him due respect. I am hoping we get to see him at some point.

I love Ramon Tikaram's voice and British accent, but Dorian's father's accent is most definitely (ok, 96% certain) Indian/South Asian. And Neve also looks South Asian (or Middle Eastern at a stretch), so I'd say Tevinter's people are inspired by South Asia/Middle East. Some more Middle Eastern, some more South Asian, it makes sense since they're right next to each other.

can you give me a link to full video Here you go: Thank you!
Attack movement are quite a lot. This is first time I see Rook use this attack. I assume this is charge attack for orb.
Also Mind blast is technigue that I still don't saw anyone use. If you guy found one, please let me know.

Curious when they'll start sending review codes out. Two weeks or more would likely be nice for the reviewers, but would also give them more time to scrutinize the game. That could work for or against BioWare, especially depending on the quality of acts 2 & 3.

The previews were already pretty showing, I don't think I've heard of many previews where you get to play for a whole 6 hours.
