Mage combat was little bit "on the face" for my liking. Still, my first Rook will be elf evoker and I really wish I don't have wrestle with enemies 😂 The setting was creepy, can't wait. Well they are playing 2 mages and rogue setup - it's hard to not be "on the face" without anyone pulling away enemies and stabilizing the field. Also, the build they're using is supposed to be more melee and action'y, according to what they said.

DAI had the smooth skin around the horns as an option too. I always used it. That's why I think we really need to see the character creator, and also why I hope they'll launch it before the game drops. I'm sure they'll probably have rougher skin tones, but how much we can alter is really important if I plan on playing with this particular race. I don tthink we'll g teearl yaccess to i tbut they'll definitel yshow it off.

Woah woah woah. If you want to see top level gameplay you need to watch me play 💪. Though yes, typically there are a few QA people who are very good (I just know the mechanics very intimately) - fun fact: when I got hired at bioware back in 09 it was to do top difficulty QA on ME2 😎 And we than kyou for it. Luke, we need you to play the game on Nightmare before it launches.

Hmm didn't really sell me on the mage gameplay. Not really feeling the dagger/orb combo. I would have much rather had the melee aspect be staff focused, like Hawke in that old DA2 trailer.
Also that poor Qunari lol. I was planning on playing one first but that one def didn't leave a good first impression. I do like the voice though

Initial thoughts: - I love the areas, it’s all so beautiful. And everyone knows I liiive for a snow map. Really like swamps, too (shoutout to the Fallow Mire ). So, this was great. - Did you guys catch the mage shield/bubble? I *love* it! Reminds me of DA2’s Barrier spell. - Not gonna lie, mage combat - particularly orb and dagger - something off about it, I can’t quite tell exactly. But I wish they kept DAI’s Knight Enchanter, because so far, I’m unimpressed. Hopefully Spellblade is better. - What the hell is going on with Qunari faces? They’re officially just humans with horns now. The only human with horns I know is my sister-in-law (😈). And they made a Qunari with the smoothest complexion in all of Thedas, that dude is a model for Neutrogena. 1. Pick a lane with Qunari appearances, already. 2. Stop “humanizing” all the Races/Lineages so much, only serves to dilute their awesomeness and uniqueness, all the amazing stuff established on previous games. Seriously, that Qunari Rook looks lame as all F. How the mighty have fallen! - Don’t wanna be negative, but enough with the “Can we hug Assan?” “Can we hug companions?” “Yes, you can hug Assan which is what’s on everyone’s mind” - *every single time*. I mean, goddangit. Are these the questions we should be focusing on so close to launch? Is this a game made for morons looking for a relationship/intimacy or pet sim? Stop it, Brenda! >.< - I still need more mage combat. Sword and shield looked so much better, in comparison, and I get the feeling we’ve only scratched the surface, here. MOAR MAGE, Biower! 🙌

Looking at the vid again, it looks like mana regen when doing attacks Which means a mage running around in circle thanks to poor tactics will rarely cast spells.

Interesting that we saw quite a bit of the lighthouse, but not a single mural. I figured it would be covered top to bottom, considering who it belonged to.

Since the Lighthouse is in the Fade, it molds itself according to the person and their emotions and desires. That could explain the apparent lack of murals. "It's in the Fade!" could be used to explain anything in the Lighthouse really

Perhaps he wiped them all out in a fit of pique.

I imagine that before Rook and the gang get access to Lighthouse, Solas gives panicky orders for all his murals to be hidden, including a small altar to Lavellan Joking aside - when we were in the table room, I've seen murals on the wall that were quite faded.

That qunari looks like an animated doll. Why? As for the rest, the crossroad looks cool? The side quest are hyper generic, find lost wardens, look for my lost mentor...perhaps that can lead to something better but perhaps not. The gameplay looks like a mess, I like the fade stepping around, but otherwise eh.

Another detail I liked: Neve, Emmrich and Bellara's healing spell, each gets their own thematic version of it. Also, can't stress enough how much I love the mage block/shield!

Luke, we need you to play the game on Nightmare before it launches. My style of playing is only enjoyable for people who are fully into the combat mechanics and difficulty, otherwise it'll just look like my camera is spinning and crazy things are happening 😅. Hoping to be able to stream at launch but we'll see how it goes; may have to wait a week or two.

Anyway, I guess we now know what that currency thing is: It's the helmet-face of that Caretaker spirit that LARPs as Charon in Crossroads: We can also see the icon when we're in Lighthouse, marking the spot under the statue of the wolf (there's a stack of books on a stand and a blue flame). I suppose that it's some sort of currency or points, which we'll be gathering and spending to improve the Lighthouse and mend the Crossroads pocket belonging to Solas (since they basically straightforwardly told us that we'd be doing that).
