Dragon Age News Thread

Blasphemy. It's pronounced B'lep m'lem m'lem.

b'l'e'p m'l'e'm m'l'e'm

So do we know why they changed the name? Hundreds of cities in the real world have changed throughout history. Are they retconning it ?

Regardless I look at it as a positive for da4 and a mild confirmation on where next game is.

Question on the Varric book- is this based on actual events in da universe or is this fiction in a fictional universe

Would these [Dragon Age Comics] be considered canon?

Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes
Yes, except that in places where an assumption is made about past events that a player could have chosen differently for. Then assume that the past-event section is not true for everyone, but picked as reasonable.

Clumsy Example: In the Magekiller series, Marius and Tessa meet the Chargers. For games where the Inquisitor never recruited Bull, the bit about the Chargers isn’t true, but Marius and Tessa still worked for the Inquisition and did the major events.

That is pure BS. They should just choose some canon choices and move on with it.

Honestly that is an out that makes a lot of sense too given how many times we have seen magic revive dead or 'near dead' companions too.  I guess we just have to assume that Dragon Age is like Star Trek/ the Arrowverse, no one stays dead.

I assume that the comics being considered canon means that plots that were set up in them are going to be involved in the next game. For example, red lyrium is going to feature when we get to Tevinter and trying to stop its spread is likely to be an important element.

True, but given the big role red lyrium had in DAI means that they could do that without the comic as well. It's not a stretch to imagine that at some point someone has managed to smuggle enough of red lyrium to Tevinter for it to be trouble. And while events will likely be linked, we don't know how linked they will be - how much comic characters will be involved and how much things we see in comics set up what we'd see in the game. On one hand, say, making Dorian travel with Chargers to break ice with Marius in Magekiller suggests that they want those characters acquainted and trust one another enough to work together... on another they could just Rogue One almost everyone, but set in motion important events around the main plot.

Why is hrungr's avatar suddenly so much fancier?

I wonder if they give them out to cute bunny-gif spammers too...
