Neve Gallus - Official Companion Thread [Spoilers]

It's plausible that this could also be concept art for some kind of Venatori character. Her clothes share the same color scheme with those of the Venatori cultists in the gameplay reveal.

It's giving "witch" in a traditional sense, but elevated, stylish and even sophisticated, befitting of a Tevinter mage and the world of DA.

AFAIK each character has a personal skill tree - whether Neve can have more than ice spells remains to be seen, but I don't think we'd be able to re-spec her to not be predominantly an ice mage.

They said Neve is the only ice mage, so that's certainly her personal spec. But they also said that companions also have access to core class abilities. So, if heal spells are a core mage ability - and it sounds like they are - then Neve should be able to cast them.

They have 5 abilities it didn't seems to be a random example from the game director:

That's the way I see it. They rolled it back a little with DAI but Solas started off as an ice/spirit mage, whilst Dorian started as more of a fire mage. It would seem that they decided to revert to the DA2 system since it wasn't just the specialism where Merrill was different to Anders or Bethany.
Merrill: Elemental, primal, spirit, arcane, entropy (no healing spells)
Anders: Elemental, primal, spirit, arcane, creation (no entropic spells)
Bethany: Elemental, spirit, creation, entropy (no earth based or lightning spells)

The only person who had access to all these mage schools was Hawke. May be they decided to mix it up a little this game so a companion who specialises in ice cannot do fire (sort of logical really and they are complete opposites) but Neve may be able to do some primal magic. Since Dorian was a necromancer who started with fire spells, perhaps Emmrich will be the same but will only be able to do fire based ones, although of course his main spell school is likely to be spirit based. Bellara may have a focus on spirit magic or possibly primal.

So the final Fantasy skill tree is only for our HC. That is sad.

I hope that if they take anything from FF its actually good. I get really worried every time I hear they might be taking its levelling system. Oof.

That what i love in Final fantasy X, where they where so far away from each other and the builds where very clear. As opposed to Final Fantasy XII, where it is all a pretty mess. At least that was what i feel while playing both games.

Where should I jump in if I wanted to attempt the Final Fantasy series?

God you go from Pike to the Fourth Doctor. SOmehow fitting.

10 is the way better game. I played 7, 10, 12. 10 is my favorite. So buy the remaster package X and X2. Such a good story.
