Well first of all is that a gun? Remember Bianca had a gun like stock. Also is one of our companions a skull faced guy or wut? Well the Qunari use gunpowder right? Wouldn't be much of a surprise to see some primitive arquebus. In the early concept art for Iron Bull, he was supposed to have a hand-cannon. So it's certainly not a stretch...

The diver in the top-left corner of the underwater image looks like a skull but with an air bubble or glass bowl around the skull. It could me Mortalitissi-related. Either a corpse that's possessed by a spirit (pretty boring since we already had that with Justice) or maybe a Mortalitissi managed to preserve his/her being inside a corpse. Would be interesting if it were the latter. Also, I just realized the underwater picture looks like you can see arrows with air streaks. Looks like people from above are firing at them.

My main takeaway from this is that this game seems quite a ways from release (everything discussed was very conceptual.) And I'm okay with that. Yes, it should be fairly obvious the gaame is still a couple years away. However, it is still nice getting more indication about exactly WHERE they are at this stage in production. Namely the 'a game still in the early stages of production' line. Not "PRE production" but "IN PRODUCTION." This is rather significant because we now have an official timeline that they have reached the next level (and seem to be recording voice lines and doing mo cap) And given that I wasn't expecting anything on the new DA game until next EA Play after last year's EA play this is quite the welcome surprise and does seem to make it that much more likely we will see an announcement at this year's VGAs on the game given the escelation...even if its a small one...over the trailers up to this point. I guess it really depends on what BioWare internally describes the different features. For pre-production could be all the concept stages and in development full time. I was thinking the game would be pretty much in development post the release of Anthem because they would have to move their developers onto something new and not just pay them to play Minesweeper on their PCs. [Edit:] According to Google, Dragon Age 4 was in pre-production Sept 2019 so it would be in the early stages of production now and they just have the work spread out so much that small segments can be seen. Semi-related here is an article about the different stages of development at BioWare for the writing team Article. My takeaway is that pre-production is when the big questions are still being asked internally and will move into production when there is a pretty good idea of what the game will be in the end so they bring on more people to start that process.

Seeing that this is just concept art to help the team visualize a new protagonist and to aid in the story direction its (to me) is expected but we will see

I just realized. The spiders. They have hands.Hands.I used to complain about the presence of spiders, mostly notably that house sized one in DA2. And then they gave then the hands, I'm gonna fight them with both eyes closed. They better disperse into fade air once they die, so that my arachnophobia wouldn't react to their dead carcasses.

I feel like this a perfect time to recount the story again of me battling one of the giant spider bosses in DA 2...after killing it it derendered...I went to go loot it...and suddenly its dead corpse was back and Hawk was STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

I just realized that the group shot is a lie! Only one bald person and at least three of them have beyond shoulder length hair. Lets not talk about the concept arts, everyone has nice flowing long hair in them...except Solas. Maybe Solas is angry everyone has nice flowing long hair.

Bellara - "bella" is the start of some elvhen words like bellanaris. Elven name, elf? Her voice to me sounds dwarfy though as does the line about rubble or rumbling.
Davrin as a name is only one letter off Davri as in Bianca Davri.

Not if the ydon't know wh othe new PC is. So they have the prologue, or Act 1 at best. O'd imagin ehe'd need a nam ewithout that I doub tSolas would know who to look at. especiall yif our character spends the game using codenames like Corypheus did a tthe start o fDAI when he ewn tby the title of the Elder one.

I think the only takeaway in terms of companions here is that there'll be a female qunari companion and maybe a skelly lad companion. Those concepts seem to be revisited at least two times in the concept art. The rest seem like filler.
Also I can't say that I'm exactly blown away by the environments that have been shown as of now, but that is easily subject to change.

So exciting!!!!! Such great images to chew on. We shall be busy. I think it’s far too soon to even discuss the Inquisitor and their role or lack thereof. There are obviously going to be a lot surprises they won’t reveal until we can actually play the game. The presence of so many slaves really makes me think that we will have the choice to start out as a slave, though.

Well, this was a pretty great thing to wake up to! It's taken me hours to catch up on everything everyone is saying about it.
If those eight characters are all of our companions, I'm slightly disappointed that Harding seems to be the only dwarf - that would make it three games in a row where a surfacer archer is our only dwarf companion. Other than that, though, I am very excited to learn more about all of this!
