Who is dis Nasir-looking from Spartacus guy and when can I marry him? Well someone suggested the armour was Warden but I don't see it. There is the vague possibility he could be Lucanis the Crow assassin from Tevinter Nights with strong links to Tevinter, although he prefers black for his clothing/armour, for some reason I always imagined black leather, but the rest would fit as he is said to have a sword rather than just daggers and has dark hair. Davrin as a name is only one letter off Davri as in Bianca Davri. Of course he could be a dwarf Warden, although the other possibly Warden shots do look more human. Still that could have been just early ideas about how the combat system worked and not indicative of the actual character.

I'm really kind of confused where you are getting this spiel about coop from? For myself, the concern came from the pic of the Inquisitor agent-like character among a male qunari, a female mage and a female archer that don’t really resemble any character shown in the 8 characters pic, or even the pic with the female blonde warrior. Now, given that Luke already teased in the past about changes in regards of how classes would work in the next game, I do think it’s more likely that he’s referring to the fact that we can’t judge the eight characters in that pic with the traditional DA classes archetypes. But, for myself, that concept art I talked at the start of my post does give me worry, given that, from the Scheier report, it’s unclear what kind of game the next DA is going to be. *tries not to be mean* Anyways I think its fair to say we have a good idea of what the next DA game will be. Casey Hudson outlined their vision in a blog post awhile back. And until we get more information from the horse's mouth I will trust them over a so called journalist of questionable repute. Now as to whether or not that will include some co op...I just don't see any evidence for it within the trailer or the BTS footage or the 8 silloutte figures. Now it might be possible that they will indeed do co op...afterall Ghost Recon, Anthem and...well a few other games that will actually get too long to count...has proven you can have your single player cake and eat it too with healthy and robust co op (albeit with mixed results). But it would be a very bold direction for Bioware to go so personally I doubt it...since it seems it would be hard to do that kind of game and keep a coherent BioWare level story with companions as fleshed out as BioWare typically makes them.

Sounds a bit... political, judging from Weekes' quote. I'm sure that'll age well by the time the game releases.

I guess it is no surprise with gatlock present in the lore. Intriguing to say the least, curious how they will handle it. We can't properly see the face of the person with the gun but they seem to have glowing eyes. Could this be an Executor? Solas said they were dangerous and I assumed this was because of some ancient magic they knew, but may be it is because of their technology. Possibly, I am not sure where to place herself. Generally her appearance seems more futuristic or from an Endless Legend game. Need to see more and in game to really guess.

But, for myself, that concept art I talked at the start of my post does give me worry, given that, from the Scheier report, it’s unclear what kind of game the next DA is going to be. I think it is almost a given there will be a multi-player element to the game; there was with DAI and a whole set of characters that we never interacted with in the main game apart from seeing them standing around at Skyhold but were mentioned in War Table missions. So in DAI we had 9 companions, 3 advisors and 12 multi-player characters at outset, plus some additions to their ranks with later multi-player releases, including Isabella. Which could mean that the underwater section may not feature in the single player game but could be part of some multi-player content, hence seeing Dorian and what looks like Isabella, because they are known characters that are not going to feature in the single player line up. As glowing skull head is also in the underwater shot, may they are also simply multi-player, which would make the 8 character line up from there as well. That would explain why there doesn't appear to be any character shown in that line-up who looks like Davrin. To be honest, that would make sense. Show some interesting concept characters that are going to be in the game but only one part of it and keep back the appearance of the single player companions for later but giving a little teaser with the VA actors and their names.

This of course begs the question of what is the significance of the eight figures at the end?I suppose it is natural for us to think 'companion' but what if we're wrong and that is what Luke was 'unlessing' about.

To be quite honest, while at first I was convinced it was Dorian in that art, I'm starting to have my doubts. Mostly because of sword he carries. I kinda can't imagine Dorian with sword. Plus, he actually matches your description of Lucanis perfectly. And his clothes match the ones from another art, where we see character wearing the Antivan Crow's mask similar to the one from Zevran's art.

So click on the quote I'm posting and follow the contextual thread. I did I'm still confused! > initial post notes apparent absence of protag as potential for shared protag coop > second, and in response to the first, post notes odd numbered companion classes wrt previous iterations > gameplay dev with an observed (potentially incorrectly observed) interest in only commenting on his sphere of interest replies (unless) > interpretation of unless with the above mentioned stipulation: unless characters can have blended classes unless not all companions are displayed and the class spread resembles previous iterations
unless it is indeed a multy protag coop and previous iterations of class spread is superfluous

That person has a fleshy left hand so it isn’t the Inquisitor. Good point and I think that might actually be Warden armor... the one that my rogue Inquisitor used a lot. The fire mage in the back kind of looks like Calpernia. Quoting my own post because I found it and I think the armor this guy is wearing is Griffon Mail (or at least looks nearly identical to it). The name sounds Grey Warden-y but the chest piece has the Inquisition's eye symbol on it. From Dragon Age wiki: "In the game files, the three sets of Griffon armor (light, medium and heavy) are all called "Westhaupt" - possibly supposed to be Weisshaupt, the Grey Warden main base."

It’s not just about trusting the journalist in question (although I don’t know anything about him having a questionable reputation). While you’re right that what Hudson said about the fame, and what Darrah, Goldman said about the game in the blog after the original teaser, all seem to indicate that the game would follow suit the usual way DA games are played, it’s not like BioWare devs didn’t say things that turned out to be different to what they said (Hudson, for example, on ME3’s endings). I’d agree that it’d be a bold direction from BioWare, and that it wouldn’t work well with the way BioWare games other then Anthem usually work in regards of companions, which is my concern. To be clear, I’m not saying that the concept arts shown in the footage means that we’d get a full coop game. What I’m saying is that, given EA’s track record of the kind of games they want the developers to work on (although I *think* the situation is slightly changed, especially after TFO’s success) and the Scheier’s article, I can’t help but be a bit worried about this being a possibility until an official confirmation on the game having a traditional BioWare SP more, and that concept art that I talked about, with characters completely different from those shown in other concepts, was (to me), a bit weird.

I have to ask though: Why are there no dwarves in any of the concept art?
It could perhaps be because they are not showing concept art of actual single player companions but multi-player ones. However, it is a possibility that both the VA extracts were for dwarven characters. If that is the case, we might finally get both a male and a female dwarven companion. If Davrin is a male dwarf Warden that would be different (I don't count Oghran in DAA). If Bellara is a female dwarf she sounds good too.
I'm also convinced that the dwarven statue in the mountains and the dwarven architecture in other shots, means we are finally going to Kal-Sharok.

The fact that they have nothing to show it an assumption, though. Not showing something at this moment doesn’t mean that they don’t have something to show. So after 6 years of having nothing to show, they showed you nothing again, so that means they have something to show, but didn't. If that is true, you need to fire whoever made that decision. That was actively damaging. They had less to show for, than the 2015 bts Andromeda video. If they do have something, they need to fix that, yesterday. If they don't, they need to stay quiet and come back in 2 years, when they will.

I was just too preoccupied with oogling concept art If it's really Line in the Sand, I find it interesting it's shields now instead of phantom characters. Plus it's Warden symbol on it... I wonder if they reflect currently equipped shield or it's Warden skill. My bet is on former. Tho tbh, it could also be fancy new version of Shield Wall

If they don't, they need to stay quiet and come back in 2 years, when they will. I understand that it’s been 6 years, but the project was scrapped and rebooted by EA. The new, current project, and we don’t know how much it took from The previous one, hasn’t been working on for 6 years. The 2015 Andromeda trailer, considering what we know of what the project was supposed to be (a procedural game similar to NMS), and the problems that it had in development, was, possibly (I’d say probably, but it’s just my opinion) similar to Anthem’s first reveal. Something that they assembled for the E3 event, and that it wasn’t a rapresentation of the game. The fact that in the 2016 E3 event they shown a ‘trailer’ voiced by Jennifer Hale with almost no footage is a proof that the previous trailer wasn’t an actual rapresentation of where they were in development. I don’t see a problem in showing what they did yesterday, although I can understand your view. We’re going to have to agree to disagree on when the game is going to be released, as I don’t see it being released in 4-5 years. A time frame of 2 and half-3 years is quite possible, regardless of the fact that they didn’t show actual footage. Again, in my opinion, they can very wepl annonce the game in June 2021 and release it in late 2022 or 2023. You don’t believe that it’s going to happen, and it’s fine. We’ll just have to wait and see how it goes, although I don’t think EA will give them other 4-5 years to work on DA, to be honest.
