Maybe I just don't have enought of a grasp on these type of stuff, but, aside encounters at the 'cons, how should at this point the VA strike be a problem? Shouldn't eventual trailers already be done (if those need some kind of not in game lines) or with the strike now BioWare can't release any of the last work the actors have done? (or just don' t want to use them to not influence the strike negatively?)

Reading this article on the strike: www.thegamer.com/sag-aftra-gaming-strike-explained-ai-protections-jennifer-hale-yuri-lowenthal/It mentions that Veilguard's marketing has been disrupted. "However, the strike does extend to any kind of promotion for struck work, even if it has been in development for some time. In practice, this interrupted Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s marketing campaign, as it only revealed its cast days before many of the actors had to stop promoting the game" On why information has been slow. Possibly. This makes a lot of sense, if the actors were planned to be one of the central elements of the marketing campaign. Yeah it does if the yewre planning on usin gthe VA's to help market it but I am a little surprised given the fact that the game's pretty much done at this point so they should be able to work around it by using the game itself at this point.

Speaking of that I actually remembered I really want a trailer to focus on Rook like the 'Hero of Thedas' trailer. Rook gotta get some love before launch I swear. All in all there were a lot of trailers for DAI but that was partly because of the delay of over a year from the first reveal in 2013. The Hero trailer was one of the final ones, I think, so may be you will get your wish when they finally decide to reveal the release date. Also, I just re-watched it and noticed that there is a short scene with us riding a horse between the ranks of the Inquisition with the breach in the background. That was absent from the main game but probably was reused in the similar scene at the beginning of Trespasser entering the Winter Palace complex, with alterations to the background and having some mounted followers.

(or just don' t want to use them to not influence the strike negatively?) The trailers ought to be done and in any case they tend to use in game footage for them, so just splice together various shots from the game with VA over the top. The problem might be if they wanted some last minute narration from their various Rook's to add over the trailer or trailers. As for the rest of the marketing, I seem to recall they had some pieces with the some of the actors promoting their character at various events for DAI but I'm pretty sure they didn't have anything like the recent panel, and to be honest I really don't know what more the VAs can say that has not already been revealed. What would be good is to have a short scene letting us actually hear those companions for which we haven't already had examples of their voice. Surely, that would be possible without requiring the VAs to break the strike? Just a clip from the actual game.

I would presume they're needing to put a lot of thought into what and how they present material. Bioware is under an enormous amount of scrutiny. The trailer released last month is a good example of that scrutiny. I would prefer they take a few breaths and present great material. I really would like for this game to be a success and marketing is important in gaining that audience. In the grand scheme of the industry, we few fans that grace this forum, are a drop in the bucket.

(or just don' t want to use them to not influence the strike negatively?) The actors are prohibited from promoting the games they worked on but the studios aren't. However, it would be in poor taste for a studio to go ahead not bothered by the strike, especially a studio owned by one of the companies that are specified by name to have been difficult in the negotiations. Bioware probably are holding back out of solidarity and to keep a good relationship with the actors and the guild, as well as not wanting to get any negative publicity. They also might be tight lipped because they got a corporate mandate from EA to wait until further negotiations are conducted before going ahead with any further marketing.

but to just senselessly murder the guy after healing him? To be fair knowing games wires might have gotten crossed somewhere but its still hillariliously, stupidly, evil. Welcome to DnD where you CAN be perfectly logical and rational about things, but often people just choose wacky options because you can and it's fun As Grog said, cleric of evil god does evil things but ultimately it's a world people like to just have fun adventures in. Not everything is supposed to make sense and I think BG3 kinda captures part of what DnD a bit quirky I mean, the below skit captures what DnD is often like lol That whacky stuff may work for D and D/BG3 but I'm not sure it'll work for Dragon Age, who it seems to like to keep a somewhat tight narrative on things.
