Leaks about game direction and pre-alpha (combat and design spoilers)

I say, let's just wait and see for further confirmation from Bioware. It's still in development, after all.

I completely forgot about the Jade Empire.

I will always have
high hopes for Harding.

The (reddit) leaks reminds me of the first stuff we saw of Inquisition in a behind the scene video years before release. Just a bit more finished, the DAI video had a lot more grey unfinished textures. The visual bug with the dialogue subtitle is funny...but that might be just me.

The drop kick is freaking awesome! Please, leave it in.

Also, I think we can see the s&s warrior dodging and it's not a stupid dodge roll skill like in Inquisition. 

Art style looks similar to DAI. That's like a first, every DA game had different art style even if certain things were kept around. 

I'm wondering how long after the switch from MP this build was made, because I think we can see a lots of things left from it that might not be around at release.

I'd considered that too but that would be weird. I know we had Hawke but they are at least birds of prey. Rook just doesn't have the same ring to it. At least make it Raven, if it has to be a member of the crow family (That was the name of my female city elf Warden). I'd also find it difficult to take it seriously owing to a comedy sketch from years ago where there was a restaurant called the Rook, the menu was shaped like a rook and everything on the menu was some form of rook.

Not necessarily considering the comic series has just him and Harding working together. However, if Bellara is a female dwarf, then that could rule out Harding as a companion and vice versa. However, I'm not convinced Bellara is a dwarf. Also, Harding could still feature in the same capacity as she did in DAI; she scouts out an area for us and then gives us the lowdown.

I doubt we will get any answers, because leaker is likely in deep trouble. OP in reddit removed all links to leaked footage when multiple people told him he's putting his friend's career in trouble.

The way that reads Level [redacted] Grey Warden seems like "Grey Warden" is a class or a specialization for the Warrior class. But I would love to have multiple origins based on class. Perhaps it will be more like DAO and you start in a different area based on your class (for example, Weisshaupt for Warrior / Grey Warden, Antiva for Rogue / Crow, Nevarra for Mage / Mortalitasi)?
