Have we heard that roaring sound at the end before?

It is definitely a sound we heard in DAI, and is part of an elk bugle, I think. They used elk bugles for the Ringwraiths' wyverns in LotR, as well. It seems to be a popular choice among foley artists for dragon sounds .
Belinda is great and all, but Battle Hymns are ZITHER!'s thing (it's one of his skill trees)
I completely forgot about him! I had a buddy I used to play with who used him all the time. Weren't the skill icons for his signature abilities Led Zeppelin covers or something?
Yes, they were all Covers, but not all for Led Zeppelin
Fast Beat - Abbey Road by the Beatles
Bolstering Ballad - Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Sing-Along - Queen II by Queen
Power Chord - this one's from Led Zeppelin
Mark of the Riff - Inquisition cover
Yes, I had to look them up

They were originally all done to other album art but we hit some legal roadblocks and had to change most of them which was too bad. I'm glad they put that question on the trivia thing to add fuel to my bring back ZITHER! campaign

And now I just realized that there's one thing that's confirmed to not be in DA4 as of this moment
ZITHER!

John Epler @eplerjc The day I stopped taking myself seriously was a good one, enjoying that my brand is ‘the zeitgeist of a very specific type of DA fan’. The corollary of course is that I take my actual job -very- seriously, but the two are rarely in conflict.

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”
Also, interesting they chose to use the Inquisition symbol and not a dragon or something.
Oh I'm crying
Yeah was not prepared for that song (it has a special meaning for me outside the game too)..

Angela D(alish). Mitchell 🐺 ⬆️ @drunkdalish Be afraid, be very afraid! Here's Part 2 of my interview with the wonderful @patrickweekes and @karinweekes, on life, love, music, soft retcons, Qunaris and Krogans...
Olivia Pryde hasn't worked an honest day in years. Once an actress, she now lives by the con, and has come to Tevinter with a new target: Calix Qintara, the heir to a wealthy house. Once she approaches the young man, she quickly realizes that he is not exactly who he says he is--and she may be in too deep. This hardcover collects Dragon Age: Deception #1--#3.

It's a franchise that I loved up to DA2. DA:I started downhill with the castration of the mage and the new combat for MP purposes. I fear that DA4 will continue the trend. Marketing is promoting everything but DA4. Can anyone say why Bio is not admitting that DA4 will be an aRPG? That's all they need to say.... "DA4 is a story driven RPG with deep characters". That's all we need. But, no.... total silence.... what are they giving away with revealing it's an RPG? ... 'cause maybe it isn't?
Pity. There is movement in some studios to start developing RPG games again.

they have pretty much already said that. And they really haven't confirmed DA4 yet. Why say that game x will be genre y when game x is still being worked on. When they are ready to share they will.
As for why they may be more cagey, see the reaction to...well pretty much every game ever these days.

Yeah, when people were worried about ME and DA being like Anthem BioWare straight up said they wouldn’t but instead would still be the games everyone loves. They couldn’t be more explicit if they tried until we get to the point they can show it.

If it's true the game is slated for sometime in mid-to-late 2022, why would they promote merchandise or info for a game about 3 years from release? Not to mention all the stuff you are seeing right now is related DAO's 10th anniversary, DAI's 5th anniversary and December 4th, Dragon Age Day...that's a lot. I wouldn't be shocked if we got a tease at the game awards and a more in depth look at EA Play in June next year and 2 years ahead is about the right timing

Plot revelation of the game is not what I'm interested in. it's whether it's an aRPG or shooter. The fact it's 2-3 years away is also irrelevant. Bio ought to know by now what their goal is for the game. RPG, shooter or a hybrid. What are they waiting for?... until the very last moments and then it's crunch time?
If Bio says anything regarding DA4 at the GOTY awards, I's be surprised.

Semi-confirmed rumor DA4:
No Swords or Spells
John Epler @eplerjc: Having been in this industry for a while, one thing has proven out, time and time again. Success belongs to the team, and failure belongs to leadership. No game is a one-person show, or even close.
We shouldn't really see anything until six months before release anyways. Last years GA trailer was horribly mistimed, if we see anything at this GA I will be (pleasently) surprised.

I dunno if “horribly mistimed” is accurate. Though i suppose that is dependent on the release date and really will be something hindsight decides.
