I didn't know Thedas's moons had names let alone one of them is called Satina... The one we see in-game since DAO is just called "the moon". I'm not quite sure when Satina was first named exactly, but it's mention in one of the constellation puzzle in DAI (and in World of Thedas). But I feel like there was a mention in some codex in DA2 or maybe even DAO. But since we never see it, it's like some obscure lore thing.

Nora Reed (they/them ze/hir) @nora.zoneit must be basically impossible to resist putting at least one extra moon around your fantasy world John Epler is Aging Dragons @eplerjc.bsky.socialif dragon age didn’t already have two you’d better believe I would’ve added another one sitting next to a dial titled ‘number of moons’ and every so often I add another one anyways the thing about Satina is- (a large hook drags me offstage)

Bioware needs to stop beating up my love: Harding! There seems to be a pattern! HOW DARE YOU HURT THAT BEAUTIFUL DWARF! Looks like she was beaten up because you (Rook) brought up into greater danger (the game warns you about it) in your first mission! No, it's Bioware who keeps doing it!

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if at least one of the moons was very plot-significant. Maybe it’s related to the Fade in some major ways? Maybe it’s technically where gods were imprisoned??? Maybe it’s where the Black City is?

Most is in the eye of the beholder. Sara and Merril are OK with me... except for Merril's tattoos, which I personally don't like. Hm... wonder if it's the ears that bother me in DA4. The ears have n't got bigger so much as changed alignment. Merrill in DAO. You can see they are pointed but not outlandishly big and flat against the head. Merrill in DA2: They haven't really got bigger but droop outwards so more noticeable. Sera: Definitely more noticeable, which is ironic considering how much she hates being identified as an elf. The pointed part has grown proportionately with the rest and sticks outwards. Actually, more like DAO ears, though, than DA2. Bellara: The ears haven't got any bigger but they stick out to the sides, which is why it makes her look so goofy. Still, some people have sticky out ears. So long as I'm not obliged to have them on my Rook, I'm okay.

Kind of a nitpick but I don't really like the outfits for the companions except maybe Lucanis. Most of them are super busy with too many little things going on like they were dressed by an overzealous fashion designer. And I think it stands out in particular because the outfits have more details than their faces due to the smoothing effect they are using (the outfits do not appear smoothed but faces are). I only dislike Emmrich's default outfit because of its colors. I already know what kind of mod i'm gonna make first... I really hope for a hair mod for the companions poor Bellara and Neve urgently need a new hairstyle.

Something I hope we end up getting is a run-through of a questline (to its completion). It would be good to see how much depth there is to the narrative storytelling, and whether or not we have a number of options in how we can resolve certain questlines. Everything so far has been combat or companion focused. Kind of agree except I don't want a major quest shown, more like a side quest that isn't too spoilery. But it would be good to see more extensive dialogue interactions, maybe examples of faction or race specific options, different tones, and outcomes of your choices. Doesn't the first gameplay show you that. More maybe come with spoiler and will show you the same we have seen. What i would like is to see a Neve that looks like Harding, if she got that face from the choice we do at the start. Or the outcome of this choice.

And I think it stands out in particular because the outfits have more details than their faces due to the smoothing effect they are using (the outfits do not appear smoothed but faces are). Yeah, I'm already itching to change Emmrich out from his strange jester/steampunk/aquatic fantasy outfit. He definitely needs to lose those giant shoulder flaps. You know the more I see shots of Harding with her damaged face, the more I think it is some sort of transformation connected with her magic acquisition. Taking on more of a stony look perhaps. It would be very unusual for her to still be showing the signs of damage back in the Lighthouse. Otherwise, what could have happened to leave her like that? None of the other companions ever look the worst for wear. I think the damaged face is more likely a story point depending on who you bring with you to disrupt the ritual. My theory is whoever you take with you gets busted up for a bit. I think they're just having fun teasing us with all the bruised Harding imagery I like the transformation theory, but I think realistically, it's probably just Harding being seriously bruised from the toppling statues.

Oddly enough he doesn't have them in the scenes with the big skeleton. Not sure about the final one as we can see Manfred more than him but certainly the one with him entering the chamber and then holding up the veil fire lamp. It's as though that wasn't regulation gear in the Mourn Watch but now he's out as a freelance he can do as he pleases and apparently giant shoulder flaps is what he likes. They do have a defensive purpose though and are not just for decoration.

I like the transformation theory, but I think realistically, it's probably just Harding being seriously bruised from the toppling statues. So all shots so far are from just one path and Neve can look similarly beaten up? I think Harding's damage comes later, perhaps during her personal quest.

I'm not so sure about that, given that she appeared hurt during one scene in the release date trailer where Bellara and Neve are present, possibly suggesting it's taken from the Arlathan quest post-ritual. Also, if the scenes were she freezes the ghouls is truly the one where she first unlocks her powers, I think it'd happen early in the game.

He must be the Nevarran version of a dandy, with his impeccably manicured fingers and shoulder decorations.

Notice that alternative outfit has a suggestion of rib bones in its design. There is meaning behind his flashy choice of clothing. I think it is going to be fascinating talking with him, particularly if we can mention his fashion sense and ask about it.

I'm not so sure about that, given that she appeared hurt during one scene in the release date trailer where Bellara and Neve are present, possibly suggesting it's taken from the Arlathan quest post-ritual. Also, if the scenes were she freezes the ghouls is truly the one where she first unlocks her powers, I think it'd happen early in the game. Trouble is the scenes in the trailer are, I think, sometimes out of order time wise. There is a scene when Rook, Neve, Harding and Bellara appear to be standing on the Lighthouse side of the eluvian and then the next shot has Rook, Neve and Harding exiting with the latter looking bruised. However, I'm not sure that shot followed sequentially from the previous one. As for the scene where she freezes the ghouls I got the sense that it wasn't the first time; hence her asking what is happening to me? If it was the first time, I'd have thought she would express more surprise, like "Did I do that?" After all, how did she know to petrify the ghouls? Is she doing these actions involuntarily? There is also another scene where she raises a rock barrier and does not appear injured. Presumably it is later in the game after she has healed up but not necessarily. I'm also puzzled why none of our party can heal her injuries. This is why I wondered if the fact she can't be healed is connected with her powers. Something about the source of her abilities make her resistant to magical healing.
