Thedas Calls - Dragon Age Day Trailer (2023)

It's teaser number ...?
I guess it was Dragon Age day or something.
At this point the game is maybe a year away, 10 years after DAI. Remember when DAI ended on an high note with Trespasser, looking at a map pointing Tevinter... a decade looking at maps. On the bright side it's so very boring at this point, the wait aren't killing me.

my thoughts:
Antiva: Jackdaw and guest say they see qunari flags in the picture of the city. So maybe a backstory for our Hc, we start with in Tevinter.
Rivain: the Lords of Fortune. I don't know but what he said here sound for me like Executors, but that can only be me. Seamonster.
Anderfels: The wardens. Someone in command speaking. I see no desert. Aren't the Anderfels a big desert?
Tevinter: This is interesting. I am not sure who he is, but it sound like power. For me: more power than the other 3. Someone who doesn't share his power.

I like this very much. I will look for more breakdowns on youtube.

I'd say that, even if true, extrapolating how the full game is going to be in terms of tone from a simple test is too soon. The 'Marvel humor' is something present in every Bioware game to a various degree, and the balance between that tone and lines with more serious one isn't east to ascertain in 2-3 hours. Balance is going to important either way.

Combat wise, I do think that it's highly likely the combat will be action oriented (if this leak is true, it's very, very unlikely things would change from that point to release, even if it seems they went from 2 companions to 3, from the first leak to this one), although what kind of combat is quite confusing at this point, as this leaker gave different inputs by mentioning GOW, TW3, and by what you said, MEA without guns.

The positive thing about yesterday is that we should know soon enough how the game will be, either way. 

From the previous BioWare games I'm expecting a more mobile combat this time around, which has been freaking amazing in MEA and Anthem.
But, I do not expect it to be AS mobile, maybe just bit faster without the constant small pauses that riddled me3 and DAI combat.

Been reading through the reddit thread.

The characters being written with Marvel like dialogue is not what I wanted to hear. I've never been a fan of the combat in the DA series, though I thought Inquisition was the best, I can live with a more action focused combat system. Quirky/quipy dialogue though is not my preference. It drug down Andromeda.

I hope that's only these characters the play tester heard that were written that way, or they are just some random person on the internet making things up.

Ouch. BioWare's Marvel style humour was always terrible and reminded me of a bunch of giggly teens who all seemed to think they had Robert Downey Jr's charisma for some reason.

Andromeda melee without guns? Double ouch. MEA's and Anthem had no melee to speak of, just some extremely basic attacks.

Then again, can't blame them for going for a new target audience ten years later.

I wonder if some of the "Marvel" dialogue is because they are getting a lot of banter which is usually more playful than the rest of the dialogue in the game. If they are just doing a mission that might be a lot of what they are hearing. I don't know, I just find it difficult to believe with the writers on the DA team that suddenly all of the dialogue would sound like Marvel.

I lean on that they were rather good and became rather evil. And that every faction and ideology of elves will face a reckoning, but also that this'll be mostly settled as a result of this game's events and then the elves can start morally lording over (while with some recent humility) everyone else in future games ("at least we're trying to sort our crap out now!").

Ugh, the Crows, another totally incompetent organization.

Grey Wardens? Unless we have a blight I don't want to hear from those whiney wasteful bastards.

Combat? I am not too worried about it, I will adapt, UNLESS they go all dark souls.

Give me good companions, some actual good sidequests and a villain I can hate but respect.

DA:I has excellent banter, but there's some real cringy '' Marvel quipish '' stinkers along the way as well.

Bah! Dragon Age has excellent humor! It's definitely not "marvel" like people love to keep pushing out. I just hope we get a Sarcastic Hawke esque dialogue again. I mean even with Andromeda, the sense of humor far exceeds modern MCU.
