I do think some discrepancies in appearances are based on screenshots and videos being from different builds. By looking at Minrathous and the floating castle in the gameplay reveal trailer, and the release date trailer, there is enough differences in details that it makes it clear the gameplay section was taken from an older build of the game. The same could've happened for many screenshots taken for the GI coverage, and all the previews that came right out the gameplay reveal.
The same goes for the reveal trailer, which seems to have been created from scratch and with plot details that don't match what actually happens in game, where character like Davrin, Taash and Emmrich looked quite different.
Taash is the one that is most hard to pin down before her face in post-reveal trailer appearances are all taken in bad lighting or weird angles. From what the devs said, her appearance in the deluxe edition and bonus armor is the most up to date, but I hope the screenshots they're going to show on Tuesday are going to give a better view of her.

Good point. I know characters in past trailers looked super different from their in-game models, but those were usually cgi so it makes sense. I just have to remember this game went through a lot of changes and wait for the final release to get a real look at everyone.

Yeah, in the announcement trailer it says that it's game engine footage, but not that it's in game footage.

New size of Bellara. Mhh. Always have to be honest, she looks fine here. Is it because of the lightening or is it an update, a pic from a more recent build.

Ah, so the book and map on the table in the picture of the companions in the Lighthouse do belong to her. Interesting.

We learned some new info regarding Bellara in the Q&A yesterday. Epler said that his two favorite interactions within the party are with Bellara and Lucanis and Bellara and Neve.
He said the first two, despite their radically different upbringing, find a lot of things they have in common and become friends. Family is both very important to them. Also, they take it upon themselves to be the party's cooks.
Apparently, Bellara loves stories of all kind and as such gets newsletters from Tevinter where she heard about the escapades of the detective Neve Gallus. The two of them develop a sisterly bond throughout the game.

According to John Epler, originally Bellara was intended to be 28-29, but as her personality evolved he figured she's somewhere around 31, 32. Source

This all sounds good, Bellara gets on well with the two other companions I am most interested in and likely to romance. Alternatively, we can all be good friends. As for her age, it is a pity they aged her up as previously my Rook was around the same age at 28-29. Still nothing wrong with her being a (slightly) older woman but her enthusiasm made me think she was younger.

Also, they take it upon themselves to be the party's cooks. I thought i already decided for my first playthrough to play as an elf and bring Davrin and Bellara with me for the most part, but i'm curious about the friendship between Bellara and Lucanis, because they seem to be such different characters. So i think this two will be with me for the most part. I might even play as Crow.

Her age works out perfectly for me was I was planning on making my Rook around 33.
The more I learn about Bellara the more I think she'll be my first LI. I think she will be a nice contrast to how I'm imagining my Rook to be.
