Honestly, that kiss at the end caught me completely by surprise. Oh you sweet innocent. I picked up on the little hints going through and like Adia was wondering if they were intending in pursuing it to its logical conclusion. The only surprising part was the timing.

I'm glad I made it through the first episode. I didn't mind the first episode but I did feel like it was the weakest. Checking IMDB it scores the lowest of any episode. I imagine that's not going to help the series get a second season. Although I think the bigger factor may just be lack of interest/awareness in the first place. I'm not seeing really any buzz outside of the DA fandom. But I hope it manages to do well enough to continue.

I don't really have a "gaydar" but I do know Bioware and the current trend in entertainment, which is why I noticed the hints as to where it was leading. Actually, I felt quite proud of myself since I'm usually like you Iddy.

There was also no backstory apart from Hira finding Miriam somewhere and saving her from something and them getting closer for some time and then Hira leaving Miriam for the Inquisition. We have even fewer backstory for Rezaren and Tassia but their interactions were atliest in my opinion better as they showed a deep caring for oneanother that was more subtelly executed with their failed attempts to help the other, especially Tassia's, as opposed to Miriam's I'm going to pointlessly damage my blades, forefit the lives of my friends and make some vain attempts to save you an I'm going to break through an inpenetrable fortress to save you BS. To 4. I agree that there is nothing wrong with adhering to tropes because that's why we have them. The problem for me personally is when the trope is the whole character and there is nothing unique in him/her This was a gigantic plot hole My answer is Netflix gave only 6 episodes. I think we will get many more if we get a 2nd Season. More Character traits, more backstory and more info to get everythink in order. This was a season to establish the serie.

Maybe we should make more awareness for other people. I have told other people i know about it. But to get the awareness we need more than word of mouth. Maybe i write some LPs on youtube if i have time.

I'm going to have a few hours to myself at home later today, so I might check this out - at least a couple of episodes.
I'm sure I can suppress my distaste for anime art and animation style for that long.

When does the spoiler tag embargo end? lol When SofaJockey feels like it. Oh dear, let's not decide such things against such capricious criteria as when a mod 'feels like it'. Reporting this post so other mods see it and we can set a principle that may be known and applied openly and consistently.

My two cents about spoilers for exactly what that's worth: I think with Dreadwolf on the horizon we might be well-served by moving to a system where we have threads with SPOILER in the title where spoilers can be posted uncut. So spoilers in other threads would still need to be marked, but in dedicated threads people could post without them.
(Am I just saying this because I don't look forward to a whole year of spoiler-cutting everything about the new game after it comes out? Probably.)

From my perspective I think I'd rather be safe rather then sorry. Sure threads marked 'with spoilers' probably will be a thing but even in some of those threads, like the equivalent 'what did you do in Dragon Age' threads I may spoil anyways just as an extra curteousy.

Just so long as we know when it's time to go underground to avoid unintentional spoilers/extra info we don't want to know ahead of time. There was way too much info out and about for DAI. I was much less spoiled for MEA, which I think helped me enjoy it more.

Two episodes down, some will no doubt find this take to be anime-heresy, but...I liked them both a hell of a lot more than the Cyberpunk one. Written by a bunch of teenaged edgelords, as it seemed to be.
It's good, so far.
The qunari is cute as hell, and I liked our DA:D protagonists brethren (LoF) as well.
The end of ep2 was a bit of a what the actual fuck, though. I assume it'll make sense in due course.
Definitely written for those already 'in' the fan community, though. For good and for ill.
Also, not ignoring the spoiler policy conversation, but as SJ promised, we're having a chat about it.

Written by a bunch of teenaged edgelords, as it seemed to be. Absolutely agree. This group I actually quite liked, especially Qwydion, while the group in Cyberpunk I despised. You know it’s bad when I’m rooting for Adam Smasher of all people over the “protagonist”. The acting was really good in Edgerunners though.

Just finished watching it and must say, it was enjoyable for what it was. The plot overall was interesting, and Kimberly Brooks and Ashley Burch were amazing as always. As with any VO work they do. Plus the reveal at the end was the best part. Hope Knight commander Meredith makes a full return in the next game, and hope I can side with her The only thing I didn't like is that most the characters did feel the same with that sarcastic personality I seem to notice with most BW characters now. Even in the face of danger, they tend to joke and not take the situation seriously. It's so off-putting. Though Miriam, and Knight commander Tassia were my favorites. As for a second season, I wouldn't mind. It's not my favorite game adaptation on Netflix, that goes to Dragon's Dogma, but it was enjoyable.

I haven't watched this yet but got spoiled about the Meredith reveal (don't really care, anyway.) Sounds kind of stupid to me. Maybe my opinion will change if I watch it.

So I assume Qwydion will be the one that will make an appearance as a DA:D companion. Well, this can go with her either being my favorite companion (Kasumi-like) or just being annoying as hell (Sera, Peebee, Octavia from Pathfinder Kingmaker)

Well, this can go with her either being my favorite companion (Kasumi-like) or just being annoying as hell (Sera, Peebee, Octavia from Pathfinder Kingmaker) It seems unlikely that any of the characters from Absolution will be in DA:D as they have said they wanted it to be self contained, so there can be future series. In terms of setting the scene for the game, they have shown they are not going to shy away from depicting the darker aspects of Tevinter but for plot lines and characters that may feature in the next game, the comic series is going to be more relevant.

If Qwidion would become a companion, that would be great, but I don't think, that will happen

As gervaise21 said, they have said that they want the show to be mostly stand alone. I wouldn’t expect any characters introduced in the show to appear in DAD, save perhaps for a cameo. The same can be said for that late reveal.
