Schmooples' Den! The DA News Discussion Thread

What do you mean as regards the live-service elements?


colfoley why sketch?


would put money on companion LoF being more likely than LoF background for new PC. Like both ideas though. the whole faction = the 'I just think it's neat' meme.


Pet favorite background for a new PC would be a Tevene praesumptor or gladiator, but it's the idlest of unlikely daydreams.

I agree. I also feel like factions mentioned in TN will be fighting for our Protagonist’s attention, as our protagonist will obviously be critical in the fight to stop The Wolf. There’s nothing about the LoF that pulls me in and I think it has to do with how the protag being a LoF just doesn’t seem necessary for the story? Like, being a Warden and part of the Inquisition was necessary since there wasn’t really any other route to take that made sense story wise - I can’t say the same for LoF. Who’s to say we can’t be an independent agent, working for whoever we want to work with?

Of course, we know little about them, so that day may still come. Maybe we’ll see more of them in the comics? With their description, however, I can’t lie that they *do* seem to be created for gameplay purposes, specifically for DA4’s style, but their dynamics could work just as well for a separate multiplayer component. Time will tell!

Imagine that line done with the Inquisitor's voice. It would be awful. 

I definitely recommend playing with Sumalee as the voice. She's my favorite of the two female VAs and might be my favorite overall. 

Btw. wasn’t SWOLas a thing a few years back? I guess it means they continue their plans (for well-built Solas???)

Ok fine! I'll google Lords of Fortune Dragon Age.

*sigh*

I actually did have work to do, but this seems more important.

Just that being a LoF, the LS elements would likely involve Contracts (monster hunting, heists, etc.).

This might lean into having some kind of "Reputation" mechanic.

Please no.

So on the whole LoF thing, I just described them to my wife as 'Basically Indiana Jones combined with a Witcher without the magic'...and then it occurred to me did we meet any mage LoFs in TVN? I forget but if the answer is no then that is probably the biggest argument about them not being the universal background for the protagonist.

Mateo was a warrior and a mage is mentioned, somewhere. Solas will probably better remember.

Well he's the one I would be taking with me through to DA4 so he seems the most relevant. For what it's worth the American male voice is bad too. 

The Inquisitor always sounds like he's trying to tell the cashier at Wendys that they've got his order wrong, which he's actually quite annoyed about, but he doesn't want to sound rude.
