Thedas Calls - Dragon Age Day Trailer (2023)

What if Old Gods could switch between dragon form and humanoid form, just like...

No, no, no. You ain't getting your crazy ideas into my head!

DA2 was my fav game so yeah i'd go for that.   The fact that DA2 took like 2 year to make vs 10 is something else.  

It's Carolina Ravassa (thanks Google), and it might be just his speculation, like other people speculate Voice 3 is male Hawke and voice 4 is Patrick Stewart.

Maker it's so hard to write here via phone

On a different note, how do you guys imagine a Qunari protagonist would be viable in this game? (If at all)

Every region having some excuse for things ranging from barely tolerating a Qunari (rather, Vashoth Kossith?), to them being a normal sight (such as possible Qunari occupation in a part of Antiva).

We could be in a particular point in time that Kossith in northern Thedas isn't so very unusual or necessarily immediately threatening. Tevinter could be too immediately crippled to do too much about their presence (or otherwise we REALLY exist in the shadows), Antiva could be hosting them, Rivain isn't that hostile to them, and Anderfels may have other, horrible fish to fry.


That's how the Eluvian can be useful for storytelling - put us in hotspots where ultimately, few care too much as long as you're willing to help.


But it also could be what keeps us from Seheron or Nevarra. Seheron could be written to be too much of a conflict spot or else just Qunari land that Bioware doesn't want to deal too much with yet, and Nevarra could be.. fine until further notice, so just popping in there, assuming race selection is a thing, might not make much sense. But this is just me handwaving stuff.


We'll probably be collecting the more shadowy sorts in northern Thedas, and we may end up a very unsung hero that may very well be the new 'Dreadwolf', the hero of a major crisis that nonetheless ends up rather demonized.

It'll be a step back if they didn't include the horned beef boi. So I imagine they'll be playable. 

Could be a defector from the Antaam, or a prisoner of war, or a slave, or an inhabitant of the Kon-Tar region in Rivain which is attacked in retaliation for what the Antaam are doing elsewhere (in Tevinter Nights they were targeted by a follower of Solas wanting to bring the neutral Qunari into the war with Tevinter), or they could be a Grey Warden recruit (if they go down the path of starting us with a faction). There are plenty of ways they could justify their involvement but we might have to endure even more prejudice than we did in DAI. Nevertheless, anyone who knows about Solas is getting to be pretty suspicious of any elf, so they might suffer even more from preconceptions than a qunari would.

Of course a lot depends on where they are in the timeline of the Antaam's war against Tevinter. The Missing had them as far south as Vyrantium, which appeared to be under siege. I'd love to know why the Imperium has mounted such a lousy defense this time round. The latest teaser didn't seem to suggest that Antiva was currently under atack despite the fact that the short story last year had the attack on Treviso fully underway. The associated writing with the teaser suggested was that something odd was happening. I'd call an direct assault by the Antaam a little more than "disturbing". However, if they were trying to undermine the leadership prior to a peaceful coup that would fit with what we learned in Tevinter Nights, so that short story last year did seem out of place. I've always maintained the Antaam would be crazy to divide their forces onto two fronts, particularly when breaking the Llomerryn Accords would automatically bring in the rest of Thedas against them, so a covert operation does seem the better approach and something a lone Hero and their companions might be able to counter.

So happy for Dragon Age content creators. They've been struggling.

Well he's basically right.

Anything else there only alludes to things, suggests possible things, etc. But that's not what we'd call *of substance*.
