I liked the Halla quite a bit. I'm glad griffin are back. That's about it for Team Hooray.

What tentacled creatures have we had in DA? The only one that's coming to mind is the broodmother but there's surely another, right (and that wasn't in the Fade)?
Maybe a goofy question - have we had black elves before?

No Skelley-Boy? No Qunari Goddess? Ooh no matter ...The freckle-faced cutie is MINE. Paws off Beerfish! ... The XBox showcase seems full of protagonists of people of color and women. What's a white man bigot to do? ... Did they transform Varric into Tom Sellick??? ... Oh yes ... I'm going slightly mad.

In her name/title card, Neve is holding an amulet. Could it be the amulet from the "Herold had the Plan" story from Tevinter Nights? The healing amulet? Bharv gave it to Vaea to pass on to the Inquisition. If Varric and Harding are going to suggest her as a recruit to our group of misfits, I wonder if they give her the amulet. The Lucanis introduction scene seems similar to the chase scene from the 2020 teaser, where someone was running through some alleys from a figure with a dagger. Arlathan Forest trying to do an Evil Dead in Bellara's scene? Emmrich might be in the Necropolis? Or people are breaking into his lab trying to steal something? We didn't see Nevarra in the Thedas Calls trailer, I wonder if we meet him outside of Nevarra. Baby griphons confirmed! And red lyrium darkspawn. The Taash vs dragon scene seems to be on the Rivain coast from the Thedas Calls teaser, so she's very likely a Lord of Fortune. i also kind of love her crystal horn prosthetic. Red lyrium darkspawn again being held off by the companions and there are Evanuris statues behind the dragon that shows up at the end. Also, behind the Evanuris, there's a big ball of... something. The place also looks blighted. Could this be the Black City and the big ball has the Evanuris contained? Are the darkspawn trying to get to it?

Maybe a goofy question - have we had black elves before? You can CC a black skin elf and dwarf in DAO and DAI, but don't recall any NCP elf being dark skin.
That said, humans and elves can interbreed, so Davrin can be half-elf and half-human. Or just down the lines some of his ancestors were humans and black skin tone persisted while other elven features dominated.

I wasn't expecting them to introduce the companions so soon. But I'll take it. Reminds me of the Sacred Ashes trailer for DAO, but not trying to be grimdark edgy.
Also, nice bunch of people those companions are: - Neve attacks someone in a dark alley to rob them it looks like (she's a goodie, so they probably deserved it) - Luscani murder someone in bright daylight in the middle of a busy street (he's going to be so awesome) - Emmrich just casually raise the deads to deal with some graverobbers - Bellara is trying to escape a tentacle monster from a Fade portal (The Missing suggest Veil Jumper does crazy shit all the time fyi) - The darkspawns looks better than in DA2/DAI - Taash is like the most normal of the bunch...nothing wrong with solo hunting dragons.
At the same time, so many things hidden in there. - toward the end at the "group battle" shot with the dragon. We can see the Evanuris headdress in the background...and floating rocks (it's in the Fade). The enemies are some sort of demons. Kind looks like envy demons head, but smaller than the Envy demon in DAI.
- Taash should be a warrior, but she's dual wielding axes! - Bellara appears to be an arcane archer.
Also, do we get hired to lead that bunch of misfits just because we save Varric/Harding asses during a bar brawl against a group of Venatori?

As much as I like to play random nobodies, that would be so daft. You could then have Isabela leading the fight against the Evanuris.

I'm not digging the overall art style it's looks like the original Fable trilogy.
I mean Fable reboot trailer looks more like a Dragon Age game than the Dragon Age: The Veilguard trailer does.
Maybe I'll get used to it in time, but this doesn't look like a game pre-order or is a day one purchase for me.

Wow they went with the Fortnite/Ubisoft/"latest hero shooter slop that no one cares about" art aesthetic, huh?
God, everything about this just screams "crammed together in the last 14 months". I mean it's public knowledge that the game has been retooled twice, but dollars to donuts bet that this has the exact same behind the scenes story as Andromeda and Anthem.

There was a minor elf NPC in the forest portion of the Exalted Plains that was black IIRC.
Regarding the trailer, like most people, I'm not crazy about the more cartoony artstyle and the irreverent tone it has, and I already heavily dislike Bellara's "quirky" personality. However, I'm reserving judgment on the game proper til Tuesday, when we can actually see how the graphics look in-game and whether the companions are going to have the Marvel-esque dialogue and vibe the trailer seems to be putting out.

Yeah, cinematic trailers for Inquisition also did not match actual in-game art style.
Gameplay reveal will be more relevant to judge.

Ok so got up, saw it on FB and stuff and wasn't impressed too much. But actually watching it. I like it, not the best thing ever, but good. I clapped.
The bad: no release date...just fall of 2024 which is annoying because I am waiting on a release date before I do x,y,z. Also this virtually confirms a November release date. Like November is winter to me but if they were going to do it any earlier they'd have one, unless it's at the GP reveal.
'RP': I'm sure there is an official reason for it but combined with some of the things in the trailer is a bit alarm bell raising.
LUCANIS?!? he lives, of course he lives. Ugh. And he's a companion...just great.
The audio mixing-
Animations looked dusjointed
The good: the music- really like that song and I want that version of it NOW. Granted it does not exactly scream secret squirel crap/ gray morality, but then the just for one day bit.
The humor- oh no they MCUified DA...purple Hawke says hi. I laughed, it was funny.
Like the cast.
Clapped got chills in places.
That first shot of presumably Minrathous was gorgeous.
Honestly though not the best but should say the DAO marketing campaign was also super cringe...and my least favorite DA...but well regarded in the community. Marketing isn't always indicitive and especially a trailer like this, just flashy way of introducing our companions. No Rook though.

Also I'm looking at trailer again, maybe I'm blind but art-style does not look cartoonish to me. Not even that different from Inquisition art style.
Feels like music is driving too much of mood into looking cartoonish, but it's not actually.

I'm pretty sure we are a random nobody in this, but we might not be selected as randomly as I'm suggesting. One thing I know and I didn't mention it in my post is that the MC is holding a dagger in the poster shot at the end. A dagger with the same shape was in an icon for the game on Steam. So that dagger is important.

The Lucanis shot, as much as I despise the man, looked very much in keeping with Inquisition.
