Doesn't do much of anything for me. I'm pretty much on board regardless, but I really want to see them tackle cities and civilization. Bioware's been struggling with that for years.
I don't know how much this has been discussed, but I don't understand how the Titans are going to work. They seem like too big of an entity to fight in any way other than really, really powerful magic. Maybe they won't be fought.

I love the creepy atmosphere - I wonder if this is in the fade, or if the veil has already been destroyed? Also - what are those sacs growing on the side of the keep? D:

The da4 wip shots are definitely intriguing. I wonder if whatever ritual Solas is performing has triggered a response from the blight hence the red lyrium seemingly spreading everywhere? Or maybe he knew that this was coming. That the blights we had faced were just the vanguard of the true threat and he has to tear down the veil NOW to prevent the red lyrium from swallowing the world.
Something to noodle over...

Oh boy, I am already excited to fight that corrupted Titan! (That may or may not be in the game in 2+ years, but let me dream.) Fingers crossed it will be tougher than the uncorrupted one in The Descent, which was very easy unless you were melee DPS. My poor dwarf dagger rogue did not come out of that fight very well. Good thing my vague plans for DA4 involve playing a mage.

I think the red lyrium is growing out of darkspawn Blight.

Bringing something I posted in the twitter thread over here:
Does anyone else see an outline of a body in that red lyrium center piece? There are specific shapes unique to that area, the base, that are different than the rest - long vertical lines and short clustered pieces of glowing red. The vertical shapes look like arms, while the clustered pieces make up the torso and a twisted, horrible face. The shape also seems to resemble the center figure of the Red Lyrium Idol. 👀

Made me wonder if this is a further extension of what the idol did to Meredith. But done to someone else on purpose.

This is just a thought that popped into my head and I have nothing to base it on beyond “those ruins look kinda familiar,” but what if the screenshot with the pulsating red lyrium growth is Haven?

I think I might have underestimated the scale of this scene because of the camera position... Look at the tiny stairs. This area is huge.

I don't think it's a Titan. THe ruins match the ones in the other image, which has one of Thedas's moons shining. I know the interior of a Titan can create daylight, but I don't think it has its own moon orbiting within it.

Yes - I don't think it's a titan either since it's surrounded by ruins and seemingly above ground. The architecture looks fereldan - like a continuation from the shot with the door.
Temple of sacred ashes, maybe?

Given how much the final result often differs from their early concept art in style and quality and content, this means very little to me, other than "yeah, they're doing some preproduction."
Then again, I'm good with knowing just that. They'll do their thing.

With how similar the lighting is, I wonder if that’s the same map. Maybe from a gameplay reveal they are working on for some point in the future. I also think those 3 instance are connected, like it's 3 moments of a journey looking for the source of the red lyrium infection. Firstly, going through a forest and finding a little bit of red lyrium growing out of a tree, then continuing on and coming to the ruined fortress with more red lyrium, then going further in until you come to the source (corrupted Titan heart? the idol in some kind of ritual?)

Looks like corrupted Deep Mushrooms: They're gnarlier, longer and protrude from a bigger tangle of non-glowing mass, unlike deep mushrooms. It does indeed seem to me like they're going back to what the DAO lyrium looked like, obviously more detailed now. You can see the tendrils are curved and point upwards from a dirt like base with streaks of glowy bits through it, almost akin to corals. Just that the dirt like base makes me think of the fleshy growth that we found in the Deep Roads and the ruins in the Dragonbone Wastes where The Mother made her nest - sooooo, Blighty bits causing the red lyrium growth?

This is just a thought that popped into my head and I have nothing to base it on beyond “those ruins look kinda familiar,” but what if the screenshot with the pulsating red lyrium growth is Haven? It looks just like what you might find in DAI. I don't know what to think about it, one of the strong point of DAI was the maps, they were often time beautiful.
So I can't exactly complain.
But we've been waiting for how long? The two tease we got were both strong stuff from DAI, the Solas shenanigans, and now the pretty decors. And the reused assets. Those urns, and those brick half walls, the ruins were all over DAI...There are a couple of new stuff, the tree and some new red glowy thingie.
I guess ,for once when it comes to visuals, the DA new game won't feel like a reboot.
It just strongly remind me of the DAI tease for the Fade and the Fallow Mire back in the days. I'm a bit perplexed by that.

Soooooooo.
Actually watching the presentation finally and my ears perked up at when she said something along the lines of 'And our teams just can't wait till next June to show off what they are working on'. Soooo I mean this is obviously tentative but that certainly sounds like they are eyeballing next June as the big start up for the marketing announcement and everything else *crosses fingers and toes*.
But yeah this is certainly gorgeous looking.
On the other hand there is a lot of speculation on where this is and where this is taking place. Some people have already mentioned that it looks like Haven...and it kind of does...if that is the case though this might be more them just 'playing with the engine' rather then something for DA 4 which this could...throw off my other prediction and this could still be very early stuff. On the other hand people have mentioned that this stuff...well OK mostly Jackdaw...but he threw out Weishaupt, Nevarra, and well...this just makes me wonder how big this game is going to actually end up being. I kind of...have mixed feelings on this...since Tevinter is obviously going to be a part of the setting too but I just hope they don't get too spread out or go for 'too epic'. Save some for the sequels man! (If we get sequels) and the other big risk...just spreading it too thin. Make it too epic and you risk loosing the focus that BioWare is good at. On the other hand though I suppose to A. fight the Qunari and B. Fight Solas you wouldn't leave any stone unturned.
Edit: ALMOST forgot to mention it would be interesting if...with people thinking there is someone inside the Red Lyrium if that were A. Solas himself or B. Someone that Solas is feeding off of to power his ritual.

So they have nothing and they made it a week ago in photoshop, fine. 2-3 years minimum then before anything real will be done. I don't know that photoshop can make a video too. Just to lay some facts: Photoshop can edit/make videos too. I use it usually to grab frames from videos for different purposes in my work.

I took that line to mean they didn’t want to wait another year, so might have more teasers within the year with this just being a taste. As for your sequel bit, remember Thedas is only one continent. I could see future games going to other ones, especially since those are the origins of the Qunari and humanity.

But its also going to be really weird to leave Thedas in that case too. Of course the other obvious option is that they will just revisit the same places...I mean Redcliffe did appear in both Origins and Inquisition even.

Gives us something new to mull over at least.
I would have probably traded these shots in for a reassurance that this game isn't going to be an always online multiplayer GaaS atrocity, but you can't have everything.

I think that Dragon Age as a whole is already quite dark. I'd say that DA4 might be visually darker, but not necessarily that much darker overall then the other games. The major difference for Dragon Age that it has a TON of humor to balance it out where some dark games just wallow in despair. True. Still, I feel Origins and II did it better than Inquisition. A healthy balance of humor and darkness, without leaning too much towards either. That's the kind of tone they need to hit, in my opinion, and judging solely from these images, they seem to be aware of that as well.

Hmm, very interesting images & I'm wondering if 3 leads to 2? Like, maybe it's a gateway that leads to The Black City maybe & the heart of the corruption really is that, a heart pumping out The Blight?
Just an idea that popped into my head.
