Fenris only tells a female Inquisitor about his tattoos hurting when you touch them; Anders only tells a male Inquisitor about Karl. I think you mean Hawke?

Kal Sharok, maybe? The person in the foreground does have a dwarf-like build. My initial thought but why is the vault so big? That was definitely constructed for some being way bigger than a dwarf, even if it was constructed by dwarves.

On Twitter, Patrick Weekes is emphasizing the MOOD rather than specifics of the concept art and says there are characters who've been cut, changed significantly, or didn't exist yet. I'll let the Twitter gurus post the full thread but just thought we should all keep that in mind when devouring these images. ETA: link While I agree with the message, I doubt it has any real meaning to most people. Since BioWare released this content it is now all promises to what will be in the game, at least that is what I took from Dragon Age: Inquisition and how the reaction to the game was even with the multiple statements of it being a work in progress.

I was referring to the person they are taking over from at the back. Check out my post about the Archon a few above this one and you'll see the guy is dressed in a similar way but not quite as voluminous. May be it is her way of saying she owns the Archon in a metaphorical sense. That looks like an Antivan crow to me. The getup is similar to Zevran's in some concept art.

I think you mean Hawke? Thank you, I've corrected that now. Does that ever happen to you? I had one name in my head but I type a different one, like my sub-conscious takes over or something. I suppose it is because there has been so much discussion about the Inquisitor since the video came out.

Otherwise agree. Megafluff's far to cute to do anything bad to it. Yep, you can keep Solas, I just want the fluffy wolf. May be that's his secret weapon. Bring on Fluffy and no one will touch him.

I'll let the Twitter gurus post the full thread but just thought we should all keep that in mind when devouring these images. Yeah. I do enjoy our carefull dissection of these images and it's nice to have something to sink our teeth into after so many years, but it's wise to remember none of this is set in stone.

Patrick Weekes @patrickweekesA word about concept art: Much like box-art creatures help devs get an early feel for gameplay, concept art helps devs get an early feel for MOOD. If the mood of concept art you're seeing excites you, cool! But please don't get attached to, or hung up on, specifics. These two images, for example. I freaking love them. The first (and I say this as a fumbling non-artist) explores presenting characters as iconic heroes. The second puts characters into exaggerated comic-book hero poses. That doesn't mean either is the art style for our game. There are characters in the concept art who have since been cut, or changed significantly, or were never intended to be major characters to begin with. There are major characters who didn't exist yet when these pieces were made. I say all this not to dampen anyone's enthusiasm -- seriously, seeing people's reactions made yesterday the best day in 2020 for me -- but to remind people that this whole video was, like the concept art, made to show folks our MOOD, our feel, not the actual specifics. We can't answer questions right now about who is or isn't a follower or what story choices we're making. Beyond giving away too much too early, we could also give you the wrong impression and leave you disappointed later. Or we might need to change things between now and ship. What I can say is that I personally am proud and excited about the game we're making. I hope that came through in the video. I also hope you have fun speculating, even if we can't answer questions right now. You all made a lot of devs' days yesterday. Thanks. At least, that explains why there are different characters in different shots. While it might be disappointed for certain concept if they end up not in the game (like the female qunari companion), it did explain the different characters shown as ‘party members’, and not, as I thought was possible, showing coop play.

So the concept arts are more for MOOD more than anything. This explain why some look so random. Also, I take it this means the game will be somewhat less serious, because half the concept arts are kinda goofy. Saying that, I really like tired!David vs Qunliath. ...and then the Catalyst makes a surprise appearance and offers three ways to dead with the gods! I jest, I jest... (Seriously, Bioware, I JEST!) Thedas already have red, blue and green colored lyrium...

Andrastini joked about it on Twitter, but I wonder if BW is hinting something here and that's griffon down in the air... You want to tell me those are not remains of epic pillow fight? Joking aside, I'd be great if it hinted griffons.

Because it was bothering me, I whipped out The Art of Dragon Age Inquisition and yep, Solas' concept art shown in video (I mean face shots) make him look more like his previous concept art than his game self. And I find this: Guy from concept art from video... ...and concept art from DAI. A funny coincidence considering everything said in this thread

So this all in mind...
What info can we at least confirm then thus far that is not concept art?
Environmental renders. Three VO's. Two possible Companion/Character names. Use of Mocap and some Pre-visuals.
That about it?

Saying that, I remember some DAI preview that showed spells that didn't end up in the final game 2 years later so...

I’m not seeing a single rift so much as green light in every direction. That’s a dream fortress right there.

- From Resetera...
shinobi602 It's not coming out next year, no. But some people expecting 2024-2025 like I've seen in here are way off too lol.
- We knew from a Conference Call it was looking to launch sometime after April 2022, which likely meant Fall 2022. That ofc was before the pandemic, so it's just a question of whether they will scope down to meet a certain deadline, or will it get pushed into 2023, or both.

Alrighty - let's get started! Here's the party members: I'm assuming the one in the middle is the new protag. The guy on the right looks interesting... This guy looks like a Lord of Fortune. Goddamn, that Qunari companion is thicc. Regarding the protagonist, I wonder if we'll have options or if this is going to be like DA2. And yeah, I understand people who are upset that the Inquisitor isn't the MC. But as long as s/he participates in some capacity, I'll be happy.
