So I watched the video of the full prologue. What really struck me about it is how FAST the pacing is overall. It's moving at breakneck speed, with so much information threaded throughout action set pieces and fight sequences. And I can definitely see a version of this game where the Inquisitor was the main character, given how familiar Varric and Rook are with each other. I'm actually somewhat surprised by that, how we skipped their introduction, but their relationship and meetup might be elaborated further down the line. I'm definitely curious how new players will react to the game, since it seems like it'd be very easy to get lost very quickly. Do you have a link to the video with the full prologue? Here you go!

Spoilery bit for the Siege of Weisshaupt. Ominous. I wonder if we can shoot her with the ballista they have scattered around the castle.

About Solas, Varric’s fate, and the ritual. Solas continued his ritual after Rook knocked the statues down. It wasn’t until Solas penetrated Varric with the lyrium blade that the Fade Portal opened up, unleashing Ghil and Elgar’nan. Did Solas stabbing Varric with the ritual blade have something to do that? That could explain why Solas did it in the first place. It may have been the next best option for his plan given the circumstances. Solas could have stopped Varric in multiple different ways besides that.
It’s just silly that Solas whines to Rook how he doesn’t have his lyrium dagger any longer - even though it was him that decided to stick it in Varric. And leave it in there. Something is up with what went down there.

I love how it's all detailed and give all the control combos to do things...but I'm personally mostly going to click buttons while I move around and see what happens. Since I saw it in one of the review videos, if you play on Keeper difficulty you'll have more room to experiment and not worry about optimizing builds or your play. I almost ended my post with "Sorry Luke". But it's not a difficulty thing, I need to try it live at random since reading about the combos doesn't really get memorized regardless of how much I try. Also, I'm going to rebind keys most probably, I tend to have a similar setup across all games to take advantage of muscle memory when possible.

Something is up with what went down there. All we really know is that there was a struggle, but truth of a matter we don't really know what exactly happened - was Solas continuing the ritual? Was he closing things down? What happened exactly after Varric was stabbed? What was that green light that looked like an anchor that poured out of Varric's stab wound? Is this how we actually get the dagger? I know we're returning later on the ritual site - do we find the dagger then, or is Varric instrumental for retrieving and keeping the dagger? So many questions

Corinne on DLC: "Never say never." But their focus right now is on having a complete experience with this game. It sounds like Act I will feel like a full game on its own.
Trespasser was mentioned as a DLC that probably should have been part of the core game.

And if they say that they couldn't let us choose the Inquisitor 's replies because technical stuff, I will be soo mad and call them liars. It's enough to watch how the Witcher let us play as Ciri or more recently Honkai Star Rail were there are segments where we can play and talk as another character other than the Trailblazer as part of the story . Yes, there’s no excuse for them not letting us play the Inquisitor when so many other games let you play other characters for short sections.

Time to complete game? No precise answer, but apparently somewhere between Origins & Inquisition to complete.
But if you want to 100% the game - Weeks.

Since I saw it in one of the review videos, if you play on Keeper difficulty you'll have more room to experiment and not worry about optimizing builds or your play. If it's one thing I think you and your team seemingly nailed is the gameplay design. While I know the crowd who prefers a more CRPG/RtwP combat system may not be amenable to what was presented, with what's been given it looks like the combat and skill design has caused a lot of people to change some of their more skeptical viewpoints to far more positive. This even includes those who may even be CRPG enthusiasts. Basically, it looks like you and your team cooked Luke.
