Well I took 15 minutes to DL from Steam. I'm sure I'll spend 2-3 hours trying to make a character I'm happy with.

The opening start screen looks like DAI start game screen.
The music is very "dark and dangerous" sounding.
That's as far as I've gotten 😆 I'm getting a bot on discord to transcribe for me during my playthrough. Everybody love my text based let's play!s

Alright, after 2 CC crashes (one right at the very end  ), I blasted through the CC this time and got into the main game an quickly saved.  So... generically handsome Pirate-y Elven LoF Rook it is.  Hot damn, THAT'S a generically handsome elf? 🤤 |

Warrior Rook abilities are so fucking crunchy it feels so good. Perfect Defense into crit Counterattack is my favorite.

As soon as the game came on, it had the same introduction as the ME trilogy remaster by showing the characters. Interesting they have Neve at the end for a few seconds before going to the start screen.

It took over an hour but I made an Antivan Crow Female Elf Rogue named Anjay. I feel like the skin complexion was glitching 90% of the time. Overall there is a weird sheen in all lighting making my melanin ladies look weird. I didn't trust makeup and went makeup free. I was trying to make a nondescript Crow who tries to blend in with the crowd. It will make playing dress up later all the better.

Got home from work, downloaded the game. Spent a hour and a half in CC on Rook. Still not satisfied. Started recreating my Lavellan and then had to stop. Dinner, family etc.
Oh well. Try again tomorrow.

I love my Rook. She's a little younger looking than I planned, but it was hard to find complexion with both freckles and aged look. However, it was massive struggle to recreate my Lavellan. Anyway, here's Gemma: |

I started another game. Why? Because I forgot about customizing Inq. One good thing when I started, I was able to carry over the rook I created the first time which saved time. Varric That doesn't look good In the fade with solas Neve? What happened to your face? darkspawn Bellara Look at the nice scenery It's a spirit I got a few trophies. excellent |

I spent, I think between 2h and 3h in the CC. I love it, I found it easy to pick up and I immediately loved what I did. Compared to DAI, it's day and night. And I really feel like I made two different characters between my Rook and my Inquisitor. I'm also very happy with the fact that I'm playing with a rather high level of graphics, I didn't think my PC could. I finished the prologue, explored the lighthouse and I started act 1. My Rook is Valerian, city elf / dalish, mage (evoker), Veil Jumper, 28 years old and he has opted for a diplomatic approach for the moment. He was rather frustrated that Solas blamed him and Harding didn't appreciate his concern for her health, she prefers to continue even if injured. I chose her to accompany me during the prologue and of course I let Varic manage Solas. I struggled a bit at the beginning with the fight, especially since my shift key doesn't work so I had to reassign two keys but I'm starting to feel comfortable. I'm going for a mix of ice and necro I think. And I don't feel too bothered by the enemies sticking to my butt since I have two actions to manage the crowd. I just have to watch my mana. I don't know how this will play out over the course of the game, but for now the game is pretty responsive to my character (class/faction/race). It's really nice.
We'll see what happens tomorrow, but I had a good time playing the game.

Random Comments/Thoughts I typed up as I went through the prologue: - I am intentionally choosing violent options (edit: that didn't last long as soon as I found out snarky sarcasm was an option). I chose to fight a whole bar when I could have chosen not to fight everyone at the bar.
- The cut scene of the bar fight looked more Warrior-like than Rogue Crow to me. I can't even imagine how dumb it would have looked for a mage rook?
- In the early prologue as you walk through the city (before Big Brother shines down on you), why is everyone standing in the rain? Why are they crowded around this bad lute player? oh look, a cat.
Why does my cape look like I picked it up out of a trash heap, I would have just left it there. Crows aren't paying well at all, thought it was supposed to be a guilded cage. - Varric says “I haven’t seen this many demons through the fade in ages”, should be “come through the veil”.
I don’t like the health bars. I set health percentage to “no”, but maybe there’s a different setting for this because it's still showing up - The money getting animations is ridiculous. Why is there a little explosion when I pick up money?
- Also, it’s funny I can loot people’s homes as I’m trying to save them.
- I should not be able to get through 3 mages like that as a rogue. Magic powerful.
- The barrier being destroyed by 3 dagger whacks is silly. That was not an effective way to keep people out.
- I cannot seem to turn off the HUD. grr.
- “The Venetori own these streets”. That was super generic.
- I’m still bothered by the Big Brother aspect of Tevinter, why would they go with that angle?
- Cool, If you get close to the edge, your character will actually get close to the edge, and then act like they’re going to fall off, and then wiggle waggle.
- Definitely a lot more random NPC corpses to give credit to ambience of city suddenly attacked by demons.
- I’m just looking around. I’ve been waiting 8 years for this. Oh, look at the sky, you can see the stars in between the clouds! (screams of a man being murdered in the background) How pretty! (hears a woman scream)
- Why is there a zipline in the middle of the city?
- Why is Neve the mage doing close combat?
- *Jumps in the water.* Why can’t I drown!?
- Did Solas put these paintings here? Are these chains from Tevinter slaves he freed or are they really implying the chains from 2 millenia ago didn't rust away?
- Exposition is slightly less obvious but still present.
- Aww, you can’t kill your companions. (I tried to shoot at one of them)
- Why is there a big lever to open a door across the room? What is the functional purpose of the original creator for this?
- I do like the noise of the characters walking. Very realistic.
- They did fix the Inquisition Rogue for the most part. Sometimes when you tried to strike and they move away, you would strike air. In this game, you follow them better as you are striking them.
- *walks through the Eluvian* Weren’t we here in Trespasser? I guess not.
- Unfortunately, we cannot turn down the sparkles of the magic craziness of our attacks.
- How convenient that ancient Elven ruins have modern currency to pick up.
- Maybe adventurer mode is too easy. I don’t know, I don’t really have any strategy or understanding and I'm getting through the mooks find.
- Oh, Solas is already in my head. Wait, Why is he in my head? oh, blood magic will be explained for whatever new magic things they come up with huh
- I’m going to choose the “hanging up” option on Solas..... That was a fun little argument. Not quite enough stabbing yet.
- *wakes up in lighthouse and goes to chest* WTF was that opening of the chest-- kicking it and sparkles?!

Played a bit (like over 4 hours  ). Got a few crashes until I disabled FSR (I can't use the in-game version on Linux, totally forgot about that), but apparently AMD drivers has some issues, so I might need a mesa-amd driver update too (edit: and I actually got an update available, lol). Playing a Dwarf is so much better than in DAI cutscene-wise (or BG3 for any of the short race) and lots of references (especially with Harding). Warrior is awesome. Also, I got questions now. I haven't even gotten another companion beside Bellara and I'm a bit WTF. The lore implications. The Dalish were really terrible at archeology.  And I tried to take a picture of my Rook and someone my Rook is not in the picture (I must have hit the wrong button).  |

 They broke City Elf being a background. Autodialogue is, at the minimum, a Dalish religion follower.  I'm also not very impressed with my opportunity to roleplay a heart hardened Antivan Crow. Did they forget I was a child solider killing other child soldiers until I reached the "top" and graduated? Thoughts/comments I made while playing until end of Belara recruitement: - Why is the Lighthouse messed up? He hung out here for 10 years and never bothered to clean up?
- Why would I not have the Antivan Crow faction history codexes automatically? I am an Antivan crow.
- I am an Antivan Crow, I should be a broken human being, definitely not picking all these "weepy eye" dialogues.
- *picks up item in the lighthouse* Imperial Weave. Oh yeah, Solas is doing some sewing.
- *standing in front of the Fen'Harel Statue" This is clearly a book. Why can I not read it? (AN: you have to finish the puzzle first)
- British female voice (lower pitch) for Rook is very similar to Neve to the point I can't even tell them apart in dialogue sometimes without the caption to tell me.
- *lighthouse scene with Harding* I have no understanding of Harding’s emotional state, even with my background knowledge of the series. I have no idea how a new player would deal with it.
 - *runs back and forth across a courtyard multiple times to solve a puzzle* I hate puzzles. How is this making the game better?
- *finds fades letter on a table from Falesan* How nice, a welcome letter from a dead man.
- *Reads another letter* Fellasan is dead and, despite his assurance in this letter, will not be guiding me.
- How does my character know the ancient Elven god names? My character is not Dalish. *suspicious* maybe Solas mentioned it and I forgot
- *having the meeting at the lighthouse, Harding curled up like we're having girl night* Harding, you can chill out on the exposition.
- Jeez, I want to go talk to Verric because you guys are acting like he’s dead in the meeting. *finds him* see, he's alive.
- *solves puzzle* The puzzle is that there are stairs.
- I didn’t know pianos even existed in this world. do they have the technology? probably? eh?
- *looks around the piano room* What was the purpose of getting in here? *leaves* see the puzzle didn't make the game better.
- *crawls all over the Lighthouse one more time* Okay, I guess there’s nothing else to do except follow the linear pathway to the Elgar’nan.
- *as I'm walking up to the Eluvian to leave the Lighthouse* I feel like there was more to Haven than the Lighthouse has given me so far. Maybe that's nostalgia.
- *observes the Veil Jumper scene* Oh, Bioware went back to making the Dalish shoeless.
- Rook has autodialogue: “How can we help?” Me: What? when did I say I wanted to help?
- *scene continues* What IS this accent of Irelin, exactly?
- *more weepy dialogue options I don't pick* I’m not going to cry over people I barely know. I literally had to kill other child soldiers as a Crow.
- You know, Arlathan looks a lot more like the Hinterlands than it does a jungle. Neverthless, just as gorgeous as the Hinterlands. Pretty!
- Our gods? I literally picked an Antivan Crow to be a City elf. I picked no tattoos. I did not want to be Dalish. Why are they making me talk like I’m Dalish, Bioware?
- I just don’t like Rook. I don’t like how they talk. I don’t like how they look. Bah. This has a weak start and a good ending. Keep repeating it.
- Actually now that I think about it, that cat in Tevinter is the first cat I’ve ever seen in a DA game. Have we ever seen a cat in a Dragon Age game before? *Googles* OH ya, Ser Pounce-a-lot but also that demon cat in Origins too.
- I like how they used the camera to make us see the pretty thing. They did that in Origins and I'm glad they brought it forward. They went heavy on the pretty.
- These blue butterflies are just endlessly coming from…where are they coming from? a crevise in the mountain? the grass?
- I’m getting bored checking all the crevices. I’ve never been a completionist, I'm gonna stop.
- *Belarra shutting down the resonance orb is only triggered through the control UI*. I have to approve that? I guess I approve of how they want me to approve.
- I whack a cart and it explodes. That doesn’t even make sense. Maybe if I was like two-handed weapon Kosith, but an elf with a dagger?
- What do any of these random items mean? Collecting junk for a day when junk means something.
- *Reads a note in Arlathan Forest that implies the archive spirit was made by another.* My bet is on Mythal.
- Oh wait, I can actually just hit equip right now after getting better armor/weapon. Bam. That's very convenient.
- Remember when Bellara wrist-band absorbed a construct when we met her? She should use that ability more considering all these constructs.
- We’re not blight protected from these darkspawn, we not going to talk about that?
- Those darkspawn were horrible. I had forgotten how terrible the artwork was for the darkspawn. They remind me of those Mass Effect husks, ya'll remember that?
- I think I like the battle pause menu better than Dragon Age Inquisition.
- Bellara, I thought you were tinkering after I approved a tinkering. How is she in the fight if she’s tinkering?
- I would say for every ten boxes destroyed, you get like five gold. I don’t know if that’s worth it.
- "Finds a massive ballista." I think we’re going to have a fight here, but why would this be in Arlathan?
- "Kills darkspawn with balista" What a convenient ballista left by mysterious individuals.
- They have made inventory less annoying, I will give them that.
- Look at that, there’s another lightbulb on the other side of that wall. Who does love a "how to open this door" puzzle?
- Why are ballistas the entry key to rooms here? Like how were the original inhabitants supposed to get behind that wall?
- Remember when ogres were scary? Now they look like that.
- *running in circles not to die from ogre* It’s like the Arishok all over again.
- *ogre dying and you get a booty shot* Someone had to work on that ogres booty.
- *fight is over, you're free to get your loot but get feeling there was meant to be more?* I can’t leave this room. There’s no room to really look at. I guess they just wanted to give me an opportunity to get that item before asking Bellara to leave. Is there something in here that I’m missing?
- *Splashes around in blighted mud*. Good thing I’m a Grey Warden – wait, no! SIGH guess I'll leave now.
- *scene at Veil Jumper Camp* Strife: We don't know what's going on out there! Me: None of the wounded told you what was going on out there?
- Bellara’s hair doesn’t really make gravitational sense, but I’ll take it because she’s a mage. What a way to use your powers.
- (Second time getting a mission from the Veil Jumpers without any player input.) I never agreed to this. I literally thought this was going to be an RP decision where I left the Dalish to their fate, Belara hates on me, and I get some consequences down the road. It's just assumed I'm going. SIGH.
*chants as she makes her last save for the night* Weak beginning, strong ending. Weak beginning, strong ending.

Okay, I’m concerned after playing longer. The pacing is erratic, both fast and slow. Things just happen, and worst of all, I’m not clicking with any of the companions so far. Not even Harding. She barely feels like the character I knew in Inquisition. I was excited to be back in cities, but so far have been disappointed by what I’ve seen. It’s better than Val Royeaux but not by much. I just want to talk to people.
I still don’t know what the game is trying to say about rebellion, other than tyranny bad, slavery bad. I knew what Inquisition was trying to say, hell I even knew what Andromeda was trying to say, even if it was poorly executed.
Solas and everything about him is the best part of the game so far, easily. I heard 'sera never was' song playing while in Minrathous and it’s
probably another favorite, because it reminds me of Inquisition. It's concerning that most of the parts I like come from past games, and even that has caveats. That said, I actually quite like Rook, although that seems debatable for people. But I knew going in it was more defined protagonist, so I set expectations accordingly.
The combat is fun but I’ve never played these games for combat. I’m a little discouraged right now.

I must say I am LOVING sarcastic Rook! The way he talked down Solas with so much sass to the point where Solas was speechless, was masterful! Sarcastic Rook was easily the best protagonist since sarcastic Hawke for me! Just filled to the brim with snark and wit! |

I love my Rook. She's a little younger looking than I planned, but it was hard to find complexion with both freckles and aged look. However, it was massive struggle to recreate my Lavellan. Anyway, here's Gemma: I struggled recreating mine too, no way to get the eyes right without turning her head tiny haha. Chin and jaw not quite right either. I was always going to give her longer hair than in DAI so at least I found one that worked (hair parted in right direction!) |

), I blasted through the CC this time and got into the main game an quickly saved. 
). Got a few crashes until I disabled FSR (I can't use the in-game version on Linux, totally forgot about that), but apparently AMD drivers has some issues, so I might need a mesa-amd driver update too (edit: and I actually got an update available, lol).
They broke City Elf being a background. Autodialogue is, at the minimum, a Dalish religion follower. 
I'm also not very impressed with my opportunity to roleplay a heart hardened Antivan Crow. Did they forget I was a child solider killing other child soldiers until I reached the "top" and graduated?
