Traveling through tha vast Tevinter area can be easily implemented with a fast travel mechanic as some up-posters explained. Horses are totally unnecessary and just lengthens DA4's development time. For God's sake, have we not waited enough? I consider fast travel to be much less immersive. It should be there, no question, but riding everywhere on horseback is something I enjoy and that greatly adds to this "I'm on a huge quest" feeling. I use almost zero fast travel in games like Witcher 3 or Skyrim.

I consider fast travel to be much less immersive. It should be there, no question, but riding everywhere on horseback is something I enjoy and that greatly adds to this "I'm on a huge quest" feeling. As I said above, I enjoyed it until I discovered that I was missing out on companion banter whilst mounted. If they could have had their banter trigger from the beginning of the conversation on dismounting that would have given a double bonus for using them but instead they had the dialogue go on in the background so I'd just catch the end of it, which was frustrating when you consider how seldom banter seemed to trigger anyway. Having a mount to cross the Hissing Wastes made it just about bearable and I also liked to use them for other large map areas once I had been across them initially on foot. I also found the mount useful for rounding up the golden halla, although first time it did double back on me and got trampled to death by accident. I'm still puzzled by those mounted perks though. They were a waste as it was almost impossible to fight random encounters from your mount as it disappeared on getting hit, so what was the point of them? That's why I wondered if they were trialing something that they intend implementing next game.

Add the plethora of other teasing concept art and we can be fairly certain that DA4 will have the mage, fighter, thief, ranger, rogue and maybe some underwater mechanics along with the return of the Wardens and the Qunari. Problem is a lot of the concept art was released before they decided to drop multi-player, so it is entirely possible that much of it was related to multi-player quests. I'm hoping the Arcane Archer is either going to be a companion or a specialism that we can learn but there were specialisms that only multi-player characters had in DAI, for example Cillian had the Arcane Warrior specialism that was different from Knight Enchanter, although there were some elements common to both. Also, Zither had his own unique style, as did the Avvar Skywatcher. So it is possible that the Arcane Archer may no longer feature.

Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah Tomorrow let's keep going with DAO. (8:00am PT) We'll start Redcliffe but I expect it will take at least 2 streams...
Miss me? Let's see how far into Redcliffe we can get... The plan is to go do Mage Tower once that becomes relevant but I doubt we will reach that point...

Loving Solas and wanting to punch him is not mutually exclusive, just saying. Indeed. Solas is a great character and I love him, it's just that the love manifests as thinking there should be a 'punch Solas' option in every conversation in the game. (Including when he's not present. What is a magic hand for if not punching at a distance???)

The interesting part, to me, is that I recalled some tweets from Alix where I got the impression she wasn't involved in the project, at least at that point. It might've been simply my impression, though.
I guess this could mean that the Inquisitor would be back in some form, which wasn't something I would've bet 100% on.
While I think there there's almost no chance of happening, it's also possible that through all the issues in developement and change of the last two years, that they reversed the decision on the protagonist. If the game is going to be released deep in 2023 (at least) having the Inquisitor's VAs already booked *now* could at least mean that their role won't be as little as Hawke was in DAI.

Could be fun having the Inquisitor back in a major supporting role, if so though I'd really like more input about what they say/do - Hawke was mostly in line with how I imagined them, but I know for many others that wasn't the case and there shouldn't be such room for discrepancies with player created characters.

If not for the plot centering about Solas, I'd rather not have the Inquisitor in. I don't mind how they handled Hawke, but as you said, many didn't, and it'll be very difficult even if they work on what they did with Hawke, to have the Inquisitor as a supporting character in a way that would please more people, without having us play them. It's impossible to replicate perfectly a playable character in an NPC.

Hawke was mostly in line with how I imagined them, but I know for many others that wasn't the case I don't mind how they handled Hawke, but as you said, many didn't, I think it was more how they interpreted what you had recorded in the Keep. For example, the entry concerning what you thought of Anders' actions had a picture of an exploding Chantry, so naturally I thought whether you approved or not related solely to that. However, the way Hawke spoke it sounded as though they didn't approve of any part of his action to free mages, not simply his methods. To get the sort of dialogue that was true to most of my Hawkes, I had to say in the Keep that I did approve of his actions even though I didn't approve of him blowing up the Chantry. It is why I am very wary of how my Inquisitor is recorded in the Keep, particularly in relation to Solas and that decision at the end of Trespasser. It doesn't help that the description in the Keep (You think Solas is making a terrible mistake) doesn't match with what you actually say to him in game ("I'm going to prove you wrong" - which has nothing to do with redeeming him) but is more like what you declare to the others at the end ("We're going to save our friend from himself"). I assume that by proving him wrong, it is going to be possible to stop him and thus save him from himself but at the end of the day it may just relate to some letter sent by the Inquisitor to the next PC saying how they feel about Solas and how they wish him dealt with.

People say Shepard is Mass Effect and I've always disagreed but I believe this is absolutely true with The Witcher from the games to the books. On wickedcool, I'd say to wait and see what happens in regards of news. I doubt, based on what they said, that they'll tell more about TW this year. Second, you're right. Which is also the reason why they clarified they didn't announce TW4. I think it's possible they'll go for some un-canon main character for this one. It's also possible they're not completely sure in the direction they're going to go for the protagonist, although they did pick a specific medallion, different from the Wolf School's. So they probably have some details already set in stone.

I agree that Alix's tweets has been all over the place, but this is the first time she implied that she knows something that we don't. I can't imagine her knowing anything behind an NDA she's not signed under.

Sure, I'll throw wild speculation out there. The inquisitor will make an appearance at the very start of the next game for a short scene but will not be the major focus. AWR has already done the voice over part for it. That does not mean the game is uber close to being done.
