Dragon Age News Thread

Considering we can go from Ferelden to the Western Approach across the continent in DAI, distance doesn't seem to be that much of an issue...

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they are using DA4 as an opportunity to move away from the South altogether to show us some new sights. With that in mind, I woudn't expect to see Kirkwall (or Ferelden or Orlais) again. Though I do admit that I'd love to see the City of Chains fully rendered in Frostbite, giving true justice to its size and age.

Well, I still believe that we will be using eluvians a lot, and if we do, it means that geography and distance will stop being an issue.

With that said, I don't expect to port to many populated places - though one can never know where they're kept or hidden. There was at least one eluvian in Winter Palace and another one in an abandoned Orlesian mansion; Morrigan has - so far - left hers in Skyhold. Merril experimented with one. And we know from DAO that there are eluvians scattered around in Ferelden. And that's not counting potential eluvians that may be transported from place to place, either by Inquisition or Solas's agents or else.

More likely he was thinking of Cassandra and forgot that she was from Nevarra. She was originally based at the Grand Cathedral in Val Royeaux after all and does have an accent, though not particularly Orlesian. Still I think it would be easier to mistake her as coming from that country than Cullen.

While I don't know where that reviewer actually is, or where they're from, that makes them seem so... American. >.> And I can say that because I'm American.

But again, the person writes as if they've played not only DAI, but DAO as well. I didn't read deeply enough to see whether there were DA2 remarks. There really is no excuse in that case.

I'm going with my more charitable read of "brain fart."

I mean, don't you post Tweets about Ducks that have been named Arishonk? Tenuously related to DA has been a regular guest on this thread.

One of the worst things for me was the heavy handed one size fits all ending to the champion story that completely ignored who they might be or involved with to shoehorn them into Kirkwall.

Well, I've got something to one-up you both: martens. They can literally eat some car bits. Also had a whole herd of wild boars living in a field two houses away, not that long ago. And a bit farther away from where I live? Wolves.

Oh yes, there are so many foxes at times local hunters have to cull their number, just so they wouldn't eradicate hares (and chicken, naturally).

Also, there's been a large population of martens living in an attic of an empty house nearby... they ate all of the roof insulation   That can't be healthy.

Still, the marten presence keeps rodent infestation at bay. Which is a good thing, considering a decade or so we had such an issue with rodents that local cats couldn't really do much about it - up to a point when some people began using poison so strong it effectively dealt with both rodents and cats (including some of mine).

Also very proud of the work @sherylchee and I did on this.



I think I just asked (pleaded, really) for a CSI'esque pun, and this was what she gave me.

Everything about DA2 was the best. It was a glory.
