omgosh that song is making me dream of a full on frostbite remake of DA2, with the full 3 years of development time that the original game should have been allowed - and a huge, properly sized, Kirkwall - that looks like that glorious piece of concept art and can be fully explored.
I've had a theory for a long time that DA2 will end up with a strange semi-cult status, a game with flaws but with something special and lots of charm.

Rare opinion, but it's my fav in series, even with it's flaws
If three humans are in the room, there will be six opinions.
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes Perfectly planned -> Wait, how did Cassandra get there when I wasn't looking, shit, switch characters before she drops down!
Awww, I thought I invented that maneuver!
Inquisitor: Is that innuendo? Sera: No, it's at the front!
Natalie @stumpynat *sees a passing tweet of someone asking for KOTOR 3* JUST GO PLAY SWTOR PEOPLE. You want to know how Revan's story ended? Revan was a dick, unleashed great evil because he was an arrogant dick, and then I killed him. (And then smooched Lana.) (Also, the Exile was way cooler than Revan and I will fight you.)
Mary Kirby @biomarykirby I've told you that I think Revan and Solas are basically twins separated at birth, right? 1. Do you have a plan to save the world that involves maybe killing everyone in it? CHECK. 2. Did you try this before at least once and it resulted in the near-destruction of everything ever? CHECK 3. Are you, alone, capable of fixing this mess, even though literally NONE of your ideas have ever worked? CHECK. 4. Do you have a new plan that is eerily similar to the last several failed plans, but you're sure it will work this time? CHECK
Sheryl Chee @sherylchee I cackled.
Mary Kirby @biomarykirby I love both characters, but guys. GUYS. Step away from the plans. You are not good at planning. At all.

Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon For some players, DAO started in an alienage...and they can have sex later... Does that count for alien sex?
Nat Guevara @strayliger Can you make dragon sex games
Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw People keep asking. I figure fanfic will handle it.
Mae Morrison @kessel_run NEED MORE DWARF SEX KTHXBAI
Sheryl Chee@sherylchee I don't know what you mean.
Alexis Kennedy 🕯@alexiskennedy having a properly fabulous lesson in why it's good to talk to your level designers and concept artists early, and listen to their ideas
Alexis Kennedy 🕯@alexiskennedy we writers often complain about being brought in late - but it cuts both ways
Peter Fiser@iamzelmor Can a writer be brought in too early?
Alexis Kennedy 🕯 @alexiskennedy yes; if for no other reason than writers, like other resources, cost money.

Made us think we were working secretly for the Inquisition, but it turns out halfways through that we have really been working for Solas, and then we spend the rest of the game trying to fix the mess we helped create.
I'm afraid people would get really pissed, if they did that, though!

Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw So far my jokey tweet about "sex games" has prompted dozens of "go you!" and one guy tweeting bible quotes about Sodom at me. Good ratio.
Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw I totally get it if the games I worked on are not to your taste. But there are -so- many games out there, consider just, I dunno...another?
Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw I promise I won't be offended! Because some people DO like the games I work on, and that's great.
Chris // Punk @punkrawkbbob Especially your latest unreleased project, Dragon Age ________? ;D
Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw I have never heard of Dragon Age Series of Underscores, but I'm intrigued by the premise!

Actually, that's not a bad idea. I would be really pissed, but for the right reasons, and at the right person: SOLAS (that is, not Bioware).
I think that, as long as it's done in a way that our character could be totally innocent in everything, just an unwilling dupe, AND that we can work toward fixing it, it might be okay.
I think there is precedent for this with Trespasser stating that the Inquisition had both Qunari and elven spies. While he sucks at planning, with little care or foresight as to how his plans affect thousands or millions of lives, or the terrible consequences for the future, he IS good at manipulating events and people. I can certainly see him setting things up in such a way that the new PC works for the Inquisition, perhaps to thwart the Qunari in the first act, but that it works only to a point, after which everything is revealed and Solas himself emerges as the new enemy in the second act and the plot takes a dramatic shift.
There is a very high potential for drama here.
Geez, the more I think about it, the more I'm liking the idea!
Mountains. Cold. "Let's bring Dorian!" It's good to be Champion!
I just hope they don't make every elf we come across from now on an agent of Solas. Like the ME comic series where everything that happened everywhere ever was because of Cerberus.
