Was the twitter post about temples current? It seems to have gotten sidetracked

Could we be revisiting one of the temples in dai?

And Dracula was Hungarian, iirc, oppressing the Romanians at the time, so overall, iirc the feelings on the guy are mixed. I found the painted churches more memorable as far as architecture in Romania went...

Do we know if this will this be streamed or posted anywhere? Because I'd really like to give this a watch!

I don't see any livestream links, but maybe it'll be recorded. I'll fire a tweet off to Mike...

Thanks! I would like to see that as well.

I thought GDC was in the Spring? Unless they have multiple GDC's?  

That cosplay is gorgeous.

Yeah, and this is what don't want. Tbh. I'd rather not have German castles. I want something different. When I refer to the Dracula vibe, I really mean the fictional dracula movie type settings. Even though there are still alot of German type castles in the movies. What I would like to see is a more Eastern European feel. 

And when I say Dracula I'm not really referring to Vlad the Impaler. That's why I threw in the Vincent Price reference for Dracula movie connoisseurs. Also when I say Dracula vibe, I'm not referring to architecture so much as...ambiance. The spookiness of it. Different lighting. Probably raining 80% of the time. It's always a thunderstorm going on in dracula movies. The color palette used. Darker hues. Greys. The feeling of skulduggery being afoot. And everybody knows, but no one will come clean about it. That sort of thing. This is how I imagine Tevinter.

And while I'm not entirely persuaded that Vlad was the origin of the concept of vampires, and our fear of them, his history is a textbook example of how to turn a child into a sado-masochistic adult. I shudder to think what was done to this child as he was a hostage of the Ottoman Turks for so many years. But everything he did upon his return speaks to some ...horrific experiences he must have endured. I mean, you can see it in how he chose to torture and kill his victims. Or he was loony the whole time. But I think it's pretty clear what shaped this person because it was not just revenge, but something on a whole 'nother level he was playing out.

I should have been more specific because it was not so much about Romania exclusively. Rather about the mental associations I have with the idea of Romania. Though I am conscious that they are not truth about the real Romania.

As far architecture, tbh, for Tevinter I like the more old time Russian architecture. More domes. Less squares. 

Alright, Trevor. I want to hear your music this time. I never heard his music in DAI. No exaggeration. No combat. Except for entering Val Royeaux for the first time... No nothing. If it hadn't been for the Bard..it would have been a soulless journey because music is just that important to me. For me, music can make a scene; an encounter; a conversation. I must have music in my gaming life, BW. Please. Idk what happened. I see others that know and have enjoyed the music of DAI. I see these things and it's like a single tear from heart that I did not. 

Is Morris coming back for DA4? PleasepleasepleasePleasepleaseplease

I'm confused when you say you never heard Morris' music in DAI? How is that possible? It plays all the time as soon as you load up the game.
