The Game Informer Article *Contains Spoilers!!*

I wouldn't discount a possibility of swapping Inquisitor for Rook, especially that we know already that we'll be able to design them in CC, so they will be in a state where they'd be playable (even if we won't get any sections where we'd be able to control them).

So, at least theoretically, I can see a potential protagonist swap happening somewhere at the end of the game, when some heavy choices need to be made - or something that could put both our old and new PCs into some sort of conflict?

So many potential things could happen^^

They have said there are side quests just not fetch quests. However, they also have said side quests are tied to the story. I need them to clarify that a little more like are side quests really 100% tied to the main story or will there be a few that are independent of fighting the big bad gods?

I'll go back to "this is basically DAI 2.0 - what's the point of playing Rook, when I could play Inquisitor?" thing - I have no idea what will happen in DAVe, and what will be the level of Inky's involvement, but playing new character while also retaining an old one creates all sort of juicy narrative openings in the story that aren't available when there's only PC: swapping them at some point, sacrificing one, having a conflict, or... turning one of them into a baddie/obstacle on the way ...

Of course, they could maybe have Inky for 3 minutes, ignore them for majority of the game, only to return for another 3 minutes at the end of this chapter... but until we get to play DAVe, I think it's fun to speculate what could happen

Death Caller sounds so badass lmao. I guess it's Necromancy spec?

Oh, nice, I didn't see those in the article.
I believe Corrine said in the Q&A that one of the mage specializations was elemental damage focused, so it's probably that

The only thing that did grimdark fine was Warhammer in my mind. Whimsical feels more fitting for Dragon Age for me. 

So it's not really animation cancelling but more like animation pausing? I wonder if there is an actual animation cancelling tho.

I'm not sure i like it, tbh.

I also don't quite understand what loadouts are. Do they include abilities or it's just weapon swapping?

Anyway.... we know we will visit Minrathous, but should we expect to visit other big cities?

We did see shots of Antiva City from time to time in released material, and it's quite apparent that Crows will play a significant role in this chapter.

Treviso I think not Antiva City

More ofte ntha nnot it's a bi to fboth. As that often refrs t othe equipmen tan dabilities you choose to tak ewit hyou o nyour next mission/quest.

Holy crap! 

Ok, those skill trees aren't that bad. When they were talking about them being large I was having nightmare flashbacks of Assassin's Creed Valhalla's navigational nightmare of a skill tree.
