Dragon Age Game Awards Teaser

You make a good point but this is a road I'm scared of looking down

It's a bit telling that the blogs inspire to me a bit more hope then the actual teaser, but hey, at least what they're saying is right and good, if they deliver on those.

Solas looks like a bald-shaven James McAvoy

Eh, I hope not. As long as we still have a party, there's still an argument for not turning the game into full-blown Assassin's Creed. Also, is it just me or did we have yet to see anything that "could be taken as protagonist", but using magic?

The comments about Dragon Age, at least, indicate - further - that it will not be 'Anthem with Dragons', i.e. Co-op/MP game.

Which is good.

New setting, new protagonist, new visual style, new combat genre - none of that would be enough to put me off, if the game is narrative/character driven SP game.

Co-op/MP (because, even if it's hybrid, that will be the focus), is pretty much the only thing that would cause my anticipation to tank.  

Note - that's different to DAI which was a SP game with a MP mode.  When I say 'hybrid', I mean a game you can play solo, but which is designed to be played with others.

I'd say that the way characters move/things are animated is indicative of in-game footage (if it's not something that will remain in game in such shape, it's likely generated in-engine, with stuff from the new game), rather than cinematics per se, or something created entirely outside of already existing game, its environments and assets.

  True, they're hardly going to use their blog to reveal that DAN (Dragon Age Next) will be a MMO Looter/Slasher, I suppose.

I disagree on Trespasser.  I think it tied things off very nicely, cleanly and clearly.  But I understand that is not a universally held view.  It does seem to be Bioware's view, though, which is all that really matters for the game that DAN will be.

That's possible he may just come back in an advisory role it's also possible he's just narrating the trailer. Narating things is his specialty after all.

Lol, all that neon and floating castles is giving me real FF7 Midgar vibes.

Same - I was hoping for "more".  Not gameplay (although I let myself dream), but something that gave us more of a hint of what to expect.

Things I liked
- Varric coming back. I love the tragicomedy of Varric always being involved in some shit, never getting a break.
- The settings looks nice, especially the city portion.
- Confirmed new PC and the '' no prophecies, no magic hand '' bit of the dialogue. I like that.
- I guess the mural has some things the community can talk about for the next few days.

Things I didn't like
- We essentially learn nothing new, just confirming things we already expected/knew.
- Lack of companions. Surely it's just moving concept art but where are the companions. The only thing I wanted from the trailer was seeing one or two confirmed companions, didn't get that.
- Beyond the mural, there's quite little to actually talk about.

I'd rather get like 10 new pieces of concept art that was detailed and included concepts of upcoming companions though.
