has ALWAYS had top notch voice acting, direction and casting. Imo. I don't necessarily feel that way about all their games. Definitely not for Andromeda. Less so for Inquisition. And I swear, I never want to hear Fred from Scooby Doo again.

BioWare, despite getting taken to task for a variety of things in their games has ALWAYS had top notch voice acting, direction and casting. Imo. Hm... Andromeda was below my expectations. Haven't played Anthem, so I can't comment.

Dieter @dieter_debaets The @frostbiteengine hair rendering tech is lit af custom compute soft raster with 2.5D binning + perfect AA + tessellation, OIT, VRS-style shading, full motion vectors, auto-LODing,.. and that is not even talking about the sim
Jon Valdes @ jon_valdes Thanks! But also, this is actually a pretty good summary of the hair rendering tech!
Mehdi @gemsmarlo Will the slides be available at some point?
Jon Valdes @ jon_valdes We'll publish the whole video "soon" (or that's what the marketing people tell me, at least). The slides are pretty useless, though. 90% of the info in the talk is either videos or spoken.

Whether it will specifically apply to DA4, we don't know. I'd be surprised if this tech didn't make its way to DA4 though, given the neverending complaints. At the very least it's worth keeping an eye on developments here.

Honestly though Inquisition may be the best voice acting cast for a game ever assembled. Andromeda had some of the best voice acting in Bioware's history to be honest.

jennaRainbowstans 26 @beta_normieMark of the Assassin, @feliciaday has said Tallis will not be in DA4 Personally, I never really had any strong feelings towards Tallis - good or bad. She could be amusing at times, kinda annoying at others, but that's it. My issues were more with how the beginning and ending of the DLC were written than with the character herself. I know she didn't receive the reception BW had hoped for, so this doesn't come as a huge surprise.

I’m guessing there will be some limitation on how good the hair rendering can be when you have the reserve resources for the rest of a scene’s visuals, but I’m intrigued... PLEASE let this mean legit longer hair options in DA4

I would not want to see any of the Qunari elves tbh, although chances are really high they'll be in DA4. I also disliked that Qunari elf who wanted some ships over the Chargers.

Ah. Varric is a companion in 2 that was carried to I. Hawke Cameos. Tallis had a codex that also mentioned her mentor in Trespasser. Fenris features in the most recent Dark Horse Comic. I think we can put those fears to rest.
