A road map is one thing, crudely giving away bombshell info guaranteed to hype people up over Q&A following a poorly received trailer instead of waiting for a proper reveal in a gameplay trailer is alarm bell damage control. So, I don't think that's very clear at all that BioWare anticipated so much heat, but I'm also not looking to get into a disagreement about something so minor. /shrug It's alarm bell damage control... or just tentatively checking people's reactions to revealed info in order to shape future marketing around it. Not the first time leaks and snippets have been used for exactly that. Yeah there is a good chance the Alpha leaks were intentional just for these aims as well.

No way it's released in September. End of November is my guess, plus it's the best time for release revenue-wise in whole fall I would be skeptical because of NHL releasing that month to but it does give them some distance from AC Shadows and the big thing about Black Friday is the sales. You don't exactly want to release something in November per se because there might not be enough lead in time to get the sales going/ the Christmas shopping hype. Yeah that's why I thin kmoer October/November as it would ge ttrampled on b yall th esports games and COD's an dstuff launching in September as that's also when th elikes of COD an dFifa/|FC get launched each yea rtoo.

Does "This Fall" refer to the autumn months of August, September and October or just the second half of the year in general? As in, does November still count as a Fall release?

So my theory would be possible...
that would break my heart but choices, consequences, if I can't take it while dishing it out I shouldn't dish it out. Still that is going to be heartbreaking but the idea did occur to me. What could possibly go wrong?

While I'd wait to see the actual options in the CC, it's a great feeling to watch screenshots of a Dragon Age game where hairs and beard looks good.

I will grant that this might have not been the best thing to lead the marketing push with, as far as communicating the stakes and tone of the story. Companions are a huge part of what makes games like this enjoyable to a lot of people, which is why they wanted to showcase them, but since it’s the first big trailer of this marketing push a lot of people are taking it as a statement of intent as to the tone, stakes, and look of the whole game. Right! Exactly. They should have led with a story reveal trailer and followed up later with this companion trailer. Yesterdays trailer would have been received better if it were trailer number 3. I think this is the main issue exactly. At least for me. If anything, the art style reminds me more of the Dishonored games They need bigger hands, but I can see it. lol Looks like how Dishonored and D2’s cinematic trailers looked. I like the art style. Only visual issue I had was the splash screens and how it came across as a champion trailer. But if this had been shown as “the companion” trailer, I’d probably have been fine with it. Cus it’s have come after a game trailer that actually showcased the game’s setting or plot as it’s focus. Right now, this coupled with the name change, gives a strong impression that the game has gone thru yet another refocus and Solas is gonna be something minor or minimized. If that’s the case, I don’t like that. If that’s not the case, someone smack marketing. But the art is fine imo. Smoother than any previous DA in fact. Which, hilariously, might be a problem. Ppl call previous da graphics realistic, but they always struck me as a little janky. The character models I mean, not the landscape so much. The landscapes here look about the same as always quality wise ( and it’s good), but the characters look less jank. I think that’s good but it’s definitely different either way and seems to be splitting people a bit. Spoiled for length: I really think appeasing the "too much woman! And too much gay! Not enough white man muscle!" crowd is really not the way to go. That crowd is loud online. They take their cues from fascist social media influencers and political leaders like Orange Fatler in the United States.
But I am of the opinion that there is still a sizeable silent majority who dislike ostentatious displays of masculinity and the braying of bigoted jackasses who are not loud on social media and will quietly buy the games and media that reflect their more diverse realities. I really do believe that.
Right now the cultural warriors would have you believe that "woke Doctor Who" is failing in the rating because the new Doctor is black and very obviously queer. However ratings for the new show when including streaming and online numbers show about 4 million viewers an episode which is where the show, historically, has been so there's what right-wing culture warriors say online and what reality actually is. And before anyone says anything I am just as critical of the far-left in real life. Extremists tend to obscure their realities because it's the only way they can live within them.
BioWare, Disney etc should stick to their guns. You don't win against the intolerant by giving into them. You kick them harder in the nuts. That is certainly an opinion. As a two, and likely three, time voter for the orange man, and as an all around generally reasonable person, your fascism declaration and generalization is silly and unwarranted. Not to mention, pointless since Trump could give two figs about video games. I hope it felt good to get the rant off your chest and bash anyone here who may disagree with you on politics, tho.

This week is crazy. Too much information. But i have to wonder besides Varric are there other major NPCs? I mean they revealed that the Inquisitor is back so why not this? I don´t need names but the amount of those in the power circle of Rook would be interessting.

Yeah I'm seeing people taking the "Inquisitor customisable" reveal in a bit too optimistic way. I still think it's going to be general info about your Inquisitor so they can be gendered correctly, have the correct romance, some DA:I decisions probably, I still do not think they're gonna be in game. I'll be extremely happy if BW proves me wrong though
