The Character Creator is impressive in a way - however, what you can make with it still looks cartoonish... Oh well, that was the final piece of the puzzle I needed. Nope, I'll pass.

I like shadows of Mordor, but not in my Dragon Age. At least I'm convinced, this game is not for me.

5) ALL the Qunari appear to look like crap . . . NPC ones in addition to the Rooks. Yeah, by the looks of this Rook's face, I was expecting him to make squeaky noises. Not just Qunari though, the elves have been demoted to "human with pointy ears" now too. I miss the boldness of DA2's weird character design.

A bunch of previews with comments from creators have been released today. Apparently, some selected peoples were paid by EA (not sure since only a single creator clearly told it was a paid trip) to come and play the game for 6-7 hours at a studio. Impressions are not very negative, which is reasonable considering that it may be more or less sponsored (not sure). So, I picked up some to watch and ended with looking through Fextralife, which I generally consider fair:
I then looked at Gamespot briefly
And ended up with Wolfheart's, which turned out to be quite extensive. And yes, this guy is very thorough:
IDK what to think of it objectively. My main concerns are inferior writing, if not outright bad, carttonish-smooth models and animations of player, npcs, and enemies, and downgraded KoA style of combat that seems to aim at breaking immersion as a priority. It is probably safe to assume that the narrative is stuck with largely heroic lawful good with minor deviations, which might or might not have a real impact.

I was already iffy about modern gender theory being pushed into another RPG series, especially Dragon Age that has a world that is VERY gendered all things considered, but this definitely takes the cake in ridiculousness to me lmao. But it's pretty obvious that this game was not created with me in mind at all, so I'll let the new audience bask in this phenomenal, inclusive feature while I stay a miserable old man yelling at clouds in the background.

Rook only has a single backstory . . . or rather all six of the different backstories are identical. They just have different flavor text depending on the faction you select.
In all cases:
Rook is Rebellious, breaks rules or doesn't follow authority.
Rook is a self sacrificing do-gooder risking their own safety and reputation to save innocent bystanders.
Rook ends up punished/expelled for their actions and is now free to join the Veilguard.
This gives me little hope that we will get real options to role play Rook however we want to.
