Dragon Age: Absolution (Netflix Animated Series)

I watched it years ago… And no, it isn’t. It’s grasp on the lore is a bit wonky and it’s a very low budget production.

As Heimdall said, it was very dodgy on the lore and really not that good. It was live action and really Felicia Day's pet project since she was the star. I don't know how much Bioware approved the script but they clearly seem to like her creation, Tallis, since she became the focus of Mark of the Assassin, voiced by Felicia.

I'm hoping Absolution is superior to either of those previous film offerings. Given its timing, I'm sure it is intended to raise awareness of the game world and enthusiasm for DAD with a new cohort of players.

I'm not quite sure how to feel about it.

I'm not a fan of anime (so i'm a bit biased), but that doesn't look optimal (better than that crap of ME anime movie), and it feels phony... and most of all, ITS NETFLIX!s111sasdfg

She just looks young to me... 

We don't actually know if qunari can interbreed with any of the other races, but I guess it's possible!

Dragon age absolution is produced by Red Dog Culture House. They are a korean animationstudio.
I feel like they mix different styls (Dragon age conceptart + animee + Disney cartoon). I like the elf and the citys, but the rivan dwarf? and the flying bird looks like disney cartoon. I will like it for sure, but i'm not sure if it's the right marketing for the next game. But we will see maybe thats are only a few scenes and the rest is more appropriate for Dragon age Dreadwolf.

Does anyone know Dragon Age: Warden's Fall?

I think its just the artstyle.

As another poster said, the elf and the dwarf also look too human-like.

Artstyle aside, I do hope BioWare have much more of a say when it comes to the lore of the animated series compared to Dawn of the Seeker and Redemption

DA: Warden's Fall is on youtube.

Initial thoughts:

- looks fun, follows the art style we’ve seen from DA4’s concept art
- elves, ghoulish elves, ancient-looking magic, and an interesting looking pride demon… peculiar given current events in Thedas.
- the main character also looks to be that elven rogue. Which makes me think the main story will revolve around elves, or ancient elven magic
- wouldn’t be surprised if this ultimately ends up supporting/give context to DA:D (why not???)
- the moon looks SO BIG for what reason??
- I’ll have to wait to get to know her character but I’m skeptical about the female qunari’s design
- I wonder if DA:D will aim for the same style of combat that’s shown here. Action-oriented, intense, showy.
- I feel like there are a lot of surprises ahead that they (of course) wouldn’t show in the teaser

I'm not sure. Have we ever seen the moon from Tevinter? May be it does look bigger from there. Someone also mentioned that Thedas has two moons (it must have been in a codex somewhere), so may be they had formed a conjunction in the sky, making it look like one big moon. This was a theory advanced in our world for the star of Bethlehem; it was really a conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter. So a similar thing could have happened with the moons in Thedas, making one really big bright moon.

Alternatively, Mythal is associated with the moon in Dalish lore, so may be there is a significance in that.

It would make sense that the action was centred around one city, so the distant shot behind the Netflix logo is just of a different angle. That being the case, since they have said it takes place in Tevinter, the question is, which city? Whilst Minrathous is set on an island, it is reached via a causeway and this seems more like a rocky outcrop within a series of island or even a river delta. Asariel and Vyrantium are shown on the WoT map as standing at the mouth of a river, with the latter city on the east side of a considerable river system that reminds me of the Nile. That would fit with what we see in that landscape shot, with the inland on the right hand side (south) and the sea delta/islands on the left (north) with us viewing it from the west bank. We also know from Tevinter Nights that Vyrantium seems to have a considerable cabal of Venatori living there.

The giant statue of Andraste does bother me though. I didn't know that Tevinter had gone in for that sort of thing and the Merdaine of the Anderfels would hardly seem remarkable if there were many like it elsewhere. However, it is possible that the statue in the Merdaine is even bigger than this and when Brother Berard, the writer of the codex about it, says he abandoned his pilgrimage in search of a smaller statue in a less inhospitable place, perhaps he was thinking of one such as we see here.
