Factions: not really sure which I will be choosing do we have any information if the factions are locked by class? Sounds like none of them are.

Michael Gamble's tweets are so adorable. He's doing his best to hype the game up.

I'm glad Keep is over. It had way, way, way too many options that didn't matter at all in next games. Like does Hawke care that HoF helped Zerlinda go back home? Or does Inky care whether Hawke sided with mercs or smugglers? Same as Rook wouldn't care whether Inky helped the refugees or not. KISS, as they say.

Michael Gamble @gamblemikeFor those asking about "blood splatter" i took a still for you (from my non compressed version). I hope marketing doesnt see this. This is not an approved screenshot.

I need to know who’ll romance each other, ‘cause I hate stepping on toes >_<. How do you know they aren't thinking the same? I know it seems rather vain but I take the view that I'm a good catch so whoever else is out there is second best to me. Sort of over compensating for real life where the opposite is true. Honestly, I wouldn't have passed up Dorian just because he might hook up with Iron Bull otherwise, or let Blackwall have Josephine. Should have suspected something was off about Solas though, when no one else wanted him.

It's so strange and wonderful that in just a few days we've got from knowing almost nothing about this game to the point where I probably have enough information to go on media blackout once we get a release date! The last thing I wanted to know was 'is there a melee mage spec?' and however specialisations work it seems like the answer to that is yes, so I now have my first character all sorted. (Qunari Veil Jumper Mage! Going to bring Harding and Davrin as my main party and see which one she ends up with ...) I'm really excited by the prospect body sliders. Finally we are not stuck with everyone being skinny!!! My Qunari gal will be thicc!!! Hmm then maybe I play my rook closer to reality and give him a bald head, facial hair, and middle-age dad bod. "We gotta stop Solas!" "Kids, it's 9pm, yawn, Dad's going to bed."

Factions: I'm going either Veil Jumpers or Shadow Dragons. Veil Jumpers sound fascinating, but Shadow Dragons specifically being a resistance mainly opposing slavery and corruption? Music to my ears. Fenris me up. I'm really leaning toward Elven Rogue. Not sure if I'll choose male or female (or, well, non-binary) yet.

Apparently mage can fight up close.... damn.... do I wanna be a shield slamming warrior or a lightsaber mage.
I'm almost certainly going Grey Warden as my first faction. Too much nostalgia and history there.

Sounds like the Arcane Warrior/Knight Enchanter is in... Great, in that case I'm definitely starting with a mage. I just loved Arcane Warrior/Knight Enchanter. I wonder if it will be like DAO or DAI though?

Definitely going Veil Jumpers from these descriptions Veil Jumper or Shadow Dragon are my two main choices. Just have to decide who does what out of my male and female PCs. do we have any information if the factions are locked by class? None of them should be, even the Mourn Watch because they aren't just mages but have guards as other personnel as well.

▪️ Standalone story, no knowledge needed Sorry but this bit of a marketing lie. I don´t think that players will be that lost but you should atleast play Trespasser in order to enjoy Veilguard. The beginning is pretty rushed if you don´t know who Solas is well its confusing.

Was watching a YouTube video of someone who played and they said we have four VA options again! Like Inquisition, it’s two North American and two British.

Okay. Now I'm whelmed. Very, very whelmed. lol
And very worried for Varric and Solas. And I also want to throttle Solas, at the same time. So. Those feelings all came back pretty easily, I see...
I said years ago when we got that "I suspect you have questions?" voiceover in a teaser that Solas sounded exhausted and/or hurt. And I have a feeling those people at the end, whichever ones they are, want to do more than just kill him; so I am gonna guess he doesn't die there, but gets wounded (probably) and imprisoned/kidnapped.
And it'll be the only time I say it, but I may have had to pause as soon as Varric explained why he was trying to talk Solas down at the ruins and yell at my monitor about how I'm so glad Varric was there and not the Inquisitor or anything. "Tied off their story", my left arm. *grumbles*
Also, the man frustrates me to no end with his refusal to explain WHY tearing down the veil is the best option from bad options, particularly like this. Cus it feels like there is definitely more he isn't saying, but he was about manage it and Varric couldn't do anything, so why not tell him? (And US?!)
But yeah. Combat looks good. Confused about why a rogue has lighting blades, but maybe its Enchantment. But, I mean, since DA2 the flashy abilities of non-magic classes have always had the barest of fig leaves of in-universe justification anyway, so. *shrug*
This was MUCH better than the companion trailer. The trailer didn't showcase the game's story, tone, or stakes at all. A trailer including some of this stuff (edited obviously, not just a long cutscene) would have avoided all that kerfluffle.
