I haven't made any decision - I sometimes pick things at the last minute when I'm feeling adventurous, or when I'm tinkering in CC, I see a face emerging in CC and start spinning story for them in my head, that may be different to what I've had in my outline for them. With that said, for the first PT I thought about being a Shadow Dragon or a Lord of Fortune, probably the Evoker.

There are videos blaming devs for 'rubbishing the fans' when they've said nothing. A single remark can spawn 'outrage'. EA marketing (I'm pretty sure BioWare doesn't have its own marketing) will have their well controlled plan which involves no-one saying anything off script and triggering a 'my face is tired' moment. It's a pity. Even our local friendly dev has been very careful to comment only on what has already been marketed, because 'them's the rules'... TBH I don' tthink w ecan blam ehim though it's the rules h ehas t ofollo wbut w eunderstan dhe has t ocom esom ethings clos et ohi schest Obviousl yonc ethe gam eis out he likel ysa ya lo tmoe ras the restraints wi llbe lifted. But I'm prett ysure there ar ethings he wishes he could tell us he's jus tno tallowed to atm. Effectively, at least until the game launches (and likely a week or so after), you won't get anything interesting out of any of the devs save Mike Gamble or John Epler. Longer term I hope to be very active, at least for build mechanics and all the combat/rpg nuts and bolts conversations. Also, I'm planning on streaming the game about a week or so after launch and doing a full playthrough. Have to work out what I'm allowed to talk about or how official it will be but worst case it'll be me just playing through the whole game talking mechanics and math 😊.

On the topic of controllers. I will be playing on PC and was originally thinking I'd use my ps5 controller because that's what I prefer with action games and I usually struggle with keyboard+mouse (I'm STILL improving my hardware control mechanics on league and I've played that game 10+ years!) But then I remembered I've got a 12 button naga mouse that I'm very good at using and thought, well maybe I can just re-bind controls to that 🤔 What are fellow pc players leaning towards for control hardware? I'll be using a regular mouse and keyboard. Rebinding keys as necessary like I'm doing right now with dai. On the subject of dai, i've discovered in this new playthrough (a redo of my Mage Trevelyan who only made it as far as completing WEWH first time) that at some point they patched in an auto attack function that works in 3p camera! It's not bound to any key by default much like the patched walk command. So I've been able to use whichever of 3p or tac is best for the situation instead of spending the whole time in tac cam (not always good since it can get stuck or have it's view blocked) just so i can auto attack. Can't bind it to mouse though cause that's not rebindable in dai (not the regular lmb and rmb at any rate), i feel like i heard the mouse will be for datv but i can't remember where i heard it?

Onl ything I haven' tdecided is thei rexact lookan dhtei rname but again that depends on the CC an dwha tI'm feeling a tthe time I do those runs I guess. I'v egot in min wha tm yfirs tcharacter Lucy Thorne is in tha tshe'll be a cute young blond ewho is quite proficient with her magic an dhow and when t ouse it. She is a good person who cares about the world her an dwants t ob ethe best preson she can be and us ehre magic for good t ohelp peopl ean dkeep ht edarkspawn under control things like that. She'll likel ystart wi hhe rhair in a ponytail but I migh tchange her look a bit late r to test things like the hair physics out an dstuff as I go. But it reall ydepensd on how the stor yplays out an dhow I feel she' dreact t othe situation she's put in.

This is bit of a weird query, but do we have any take on how "strong" Rook's personality can be? My spectrum being full-on in your face like hawke, or "universally beige" like the Inquisitor? Best word we've got on that seems to be this from the discord (seemingly in reference to the humorous dialogue icon being back and some reviewers saying the da2 wheel was back because of this): Personally I'm pleased with this, when i played a Hawke who was often aggressive/direct with npcs but usually diplomatic/helpful with companions it was annoying when the game forced me to say something mean to my companions cause of the set "personality". And i don't like the idea of: you can't choose the special angry option in response to an extreme situation because you haven't chosen to be angry/aggressive over enough minor things in the past thing. The datv system sounds way better, context matters.

Longer term I hope to be very active, at least for build mechanics and all the combat/rpg nuts and bolts conversations. Threads we have prepared ready to switch on at launch in those areas of mechanics are: - General Gameplay Discussion
- Advanced Gameplay Tactics for Nightmare
- Mage Builds
- Rogue Builds
- Warrior Builds
- Companion Builds
- Inventory, Equipment & Loot
None of the threads permit story spoilers.
If there's anything else you feel is missing, happy to add it, please shout.

1)- Who of the companions would be Rook's go-to for weedelf-root, do you think?
Neve, because she’s a smoker.
2)- Biggest freak in the sheets?
Emmerich, it’s always the most ‘civil’ that’s into the weird stuff.
3)- Worst (Light)house-mate - most difficult/annoying to live with?
Belara, because she seems to be as easy to distract as I am. Nothing would get done.
4)- Best dresser.
Neve, just look at those hats, worthy of the Ascot Races.
5)- Most likely to have a Glitterdust snorting problem.
Lucanis to keep the inner demons/Dark thoughts at bay.
6)- The funniest.
Lucanis, same as above.
7)- Most likely to die in the first five minutes of a horror film.
Belara, because she gets distracted/curious and goes into the obvious worst place.
8)- Has the biggest d*ck.
Ask again after the game is released.
9)- Most likely to betray us.
Harding, because of story spoilers that happen to her.
10)- Compare a companion to a dish or drink, and explain why.
Harding: Hot cocoa, cozy and snuggly.
Lucanis: Golden Latte, bitter and spicy.
Neve: Some fancy cocktail with an umbrella.
Belara: Lemonade, sweet with a tangy bite.
Taash: Mulled wine, hot and spicy.
Davrin: Beer, straightforward and simple.
Emmerich: Matured wine, because he is aged to perfection.

I thought Gaider was too young to be an angry old man? Ummm… I don’t think he is. Not that he hasn’t always had angry old man energy even when he was actually young. But yeah, sorry buddy but I think we might all just be old now.

They fucked up their first trailer real good. EA Marketing should be cautious because they don't get the fanbase and even potential future customers at all. God, that first trailer was awful. You spend ten years researching, working nonstop to find a cure to cancer. And when you do and it's finally time to let the world know, your bosses come out and say: I'd slap a b*tch.

The thing about the marketing is its still going on. I'm still seeing vids from the content creators and we can't be too much longer away from the reviews and what not. It may be on the back burner but they've shown a lot. Any new video that have Mage gameplay?

Now that's a bit tougher since the pre marketing marketing is a pretty close run between the 2020 ish TGA trailer or the Who is the Dreadwolf one.

Bellara 3)- Worst (Light)house-mate - most difficult/annoying to live with?

Bellara 8)- Has the biggest d*ck.
****nope - not even as a joke*** 9)- Most likely to betray us.
Lucanis 10)- Compare a companion to a dish or drink, and explain why.
Bellara, despite her intelligence ... fruitcake ... because she seems to be all over the place mentally. GO!
