People are talking about griffon and I'm all "Where is there a Fade Rift outside a Grey Warden's Fortress???" Or, potentially, a Grey Warden Fortress inside the Fade? I’m not seeing a single rift so much as green light in every direction. That’s a dream fortress right there. It looks about the size (or even bigger) than the rift you close at the end of the DAI intro (the one that spawn the Pride Demon). There is clear "rift lighting" in the archways. There is also someone fighting in one of the archways, but we don't see against what.

- From Resetera...shinobi602It'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. let's hope they don't go the FONV rout and stubbornly stay on scope despite a looming deadline.

You know... if we're getting a Qunari companion, that means a Qunari protagonist isn't out of the table either. That is, assuming we'll be able to choose the hero's race. On the other hand, I just realized there are no dwarves among the 8 companions, which means NO DWARF LI AGAIN.

I can't help but notice that we can actually use the shield to block attacks now. And it only took them three games.

With these guys? ...yeah sure, right behind you” *stealths into the next room* Some of my mostly-rogue DA:I parties can relate, there was always that one stompy-booted mage (Solas. It was Solas) who got us into scraps we could have otherwise snuck right past.

When you talk about knowing stuff about the game (timeline, pipeline) and how you have a good reason to believe it, are your opinions based on articles/inference/industry experience etc or do you know an industry insider / someone who works at BW? Not having a go, just can't tell the context from your posts

Some things, which I couldn't have known otherwise, were told to me. By who? Won't tell. Sorry.

Hopefully whatever problems they had with Andromeda and Anthem they have implemented internal change for. That might even be why I am not as concerned with whatever they did with the game around the launch of Anthem for I rather have a game that takes slightly longer to finish development then a game that has a lot cut out to make their release window.

On the other hand, I just realized there are no dwarves among the 8 companions, which means NO DWARF LI AGAIN. Calm down, PW has confirmed that is not the final line up and you are forgetting the two VA extracts. Bellara could well be a dwarf, given she is talking about good rumbles and Davrin could be a dwarf Warden. There is not a Warden among that line up, so that confirms it isn't the final one because they wouldn't be showing Davrin VA if he wasn't in it.

I think that is bound to happen anyways. Given my limited experience reading about the industry coupled with my own experiences with writing...both creative and non creative...usually it seems the idea phase of a work is always bolder then the work itself. Which is kind of the problem since with Anthem and Andromeda the games vision was too wide. As long as they know what kind of game DA4 will be with clear objectives they should be fine. Besides, I know this might cause hand wringing around here but this is going to be a live service game. Which means anything that's not out at launch could be fed in later. Which there is already precedent for this with ME 3 Omega.

I think someone may have already said this (between conversations with my hubby, and on here, and my own thinking all day, I can't remember if this was original or not.)
But what if what some people have labeled as our cast of companions are actually origin background options for the protagonist and those are all ways the protagonist can look?

That would still suggest you can't play as a dwarf and there are no obvious elven characters either. Whilst it might be cool to play as the glowing skull guy on the right, I think it would more likely be a companion than the actual PC. I'm tending towards them going with the slave or liberati origin for all races because of saying how they are exploring not having power and no one has less power in Tevinter than a slave.

At first I thought this undead companion/character was the bow of the ship... zoomed up close that skeleton underwater doesn't quite look like they have an air bubble or helmet like a lot of people (and me lmao) thought. I was thinking that. Definitely has some meat on that bod, just looks like a helmet to me.
