On that video, Mark Darruh comment he predicted over 88% with -/+5 actual score on Metacritic. It'd be great to have a Dragon Age with over 85% score. Did he mention DATV is the best Dragon Age before? I do remember him essentially saying that it was the first Dragon Age to feature combat to be enjoyed, rather than tolerated. I think he also said that current technologies finally allowed them to achieve some features that the past teams hadn't been able to achieve. I feel like he might've specifically referenced character visuals and animations, but I could be inventing that. The video should be easy enough to find on YouTube, maybe on his channel; but I'm not in a position to look for it right now.

How long before did they release Dragon's Dogma 2's CC? That'd be a good move, marketing-wise, too. I hope they can pull it off!

Q: Congrats. The time a dragon age released, it won the first game awards. 10 years later are you going for another?
Mark Darrah: Looking at the year... I think it has a shot.

If it's an 80+, then at least it shows that BioWare is - mostly - on the right track in terms of general player sentiments about the quality of their games. Yes, fans of certain qualities of the previous games - that aren't in DAV - will likely feel this success isn't warranted, but for what the game is, people came away liking it. Can't speak to user scores, but I imagine the nature of this game will invite a lot of negativity (warranted or not). If it scores in the 70's. Well. Better hope EA doesn't wheel out the guillotine if the game doesn't sell well enough.

Q: Hey, Mark, do you know when the reviews are going up?
Mark Darrah: I wouldn’t expect anything before the week of the 31st.
Q: I assume you're going to be playing it as well? Have you given any thought to what race/class/background you might choose?
Mark Darrah: ... I'm not sure. If I'm going to stream I might go Qunari Warrior.

Y'know, I sometimes think Bioware does this on purpose, making multiple names with the same letters, just switching them around or, if they're being really spicy, changing or doubling one or two letters. My favorite string of samey names to be perpetually confused by across both DA and ME is Oriana (Mirada's sister and Fergus Cousland's wife), Orana (the slave girl you free from Hadriana in DA2), Orlanna (a girl Feynriel saves in a sidequest if you let him go to Tevinter in DA2). I thought there was also an Orena but there is actually an Oren (Fergus Cousland's son). The same Bioware had to change Qarinus to Ventus because people were getting it mixed up with Qunari. Still don't know why they didn't just retcon the spelling to Karinus, it's how Fenris and Dorian pronounce it anyways.

The same Bioware had to change Qarinus to Ventus because people were getting it mixed up with Qunari. Still don't know why they didn't just retcon the spelling to Karinus, it's how Fenris and Dorian pronounce it anyways. That's what I said at the time. I don't even know who these people were who were getting confused because I'm pretty sure it was never the case on these boards. They only needed to change one letter and say that the southerners had been spelling it wrong all this time, even that Dorian, a native of the city/region had corrected scholars on the matter and problem solved. Instead they changed it completely for a completely lame reason, according to the Devs because I don't think it was actually explained in the comic where it was first introduced, several years after DAI and WoT2, where it was still Qarinus. Subsequently, Ventus was also the name in Tevinter Nights. Was it really Weakes who was so confused by the name? Apparently the city name was changed to celebrate a victory over the Qunari? Which one? The last major victory on the mainland was in the year after Dorian was born, so clearly it wasn't to celebrate that because he still thought his home city was called Qarinus. Also, he kept emphasising that the Altus were very proud of their ancient past, preserving every aspect of it that they could, yet we are asked to believe they changed the name of an ancient city that was capital of the old kingdom of Qarinus that was united with Neromenian and Tevinter into the Imperium. So, no respect for antiquity and tradition at all, just change the name to something that has no real meaning at all. As I repeatedly say, every time they pull a stunt like this I question why I ever bothered buying World of Thedas and World of Thedas 2 if they are going to ignore everything concerning the lore recorded in there. Hence my questioning the floating Archon's palace together with security search light because that was not mentioned in the description of Minrathous in WoT (yet other features that were notable seem to have been left out of the cityscape) was not mentioned by Dorian in his monologue of floating cows (when there is an actual floating building?) and did not even feature in Tevinter Nights. In Half Up Front the Archon's palace may have been said to be a wonder of the world but the thief in the story was able to enter it at ground level and leave through the sewers. Odd that. Also, why didn't the security system target the Cekorax in Luck in the Gardens? So, essentially I've given up on any possibility of fidelity to the lore and caring about it is just...

Cities change names in real life quite often I don't see why this is different. The reason may be paper thin but hardly a big deal.

City names have been changed before, especially in areas with a lot of conflict, not sure it’s that big a deal personally. I also assumed it was to go with a Latin name instead.
For accessibility, somewhat worried I see no option to turn off bloom. But motion blur is for sure going off as soon as possible. Also ghil dirthalen posted pictures with persistent dot enabled.

Cities change names in real life quite often I don't see why this is different. Not cities that have such an ancient connection to their culture and history, which Dorian maintained was important to them. This wasn't just any old city but with a direct connection to the three kingdoms that made up the old Imperium. City names have been changed before, especially in areas with a lot of conflict, not sure it’s that big a deal personally. I also assumed it was to go with a Latin name instead. Why when the Imperium has always been associated with ancient Rome, yet the original writers chose to use Qarinus? Q is still a letter in Latin and the end of the word suggests a Latin root even if in this case there isn't a literal translation. Tevinter and Neromenian aren't necessarily Latin words either.
