ere's hoping there is a reason behind that beyond just finding it funny. .... It's a joke about Solas coyly being sexual about being found. I can't imagine what else it could mean -BUTT- be funny. Maybe I'm not being creative enough.

Hanako meants that it’s an hint about the Inquisitor being the one who founds Solas, and the protagonist. Oh. Well, the actual line from the trailer mentions no names. That comic put in Inquisitor to be funny.... I suppose, "I mean, sure" COULD be referencing the words chosen by the creator. Seems too concrete a response to be taken too deeply.

Yea, but the fact that the very first teaser references Trespasser directly and specifically uses lines that were meant for Inquisitor back then is not insignificant. It's also important that the whole Dread Wolf part of Dragon Age story is squarely at the forefront of the next chapter and not pushed into the background, which - given how Trespasser went and has ended - suggests Inquisitor's involvement regardless whether the line has been used.

Overdone highlights on his shiny bald egg-head would be possible for the right side, but the backside of his head and down his neck? Looks wrong to me, but could be part of this weird art style. I still think he is wearing something on his head. Who knows, could just as well be not even Solas. I interpret that darkness at the back of his neck as a high collar, rather similar to the ones Nipuni draws Solas in. I never said the dark part isn't a collar. All the more reason that his neck shouldn't be as bright as it is when there should be a shadow, thrown by this collar. Maybe we should file this oddity under artistic licence, Idk.

John Epler @eplerjcA few folks telling me, after seeing my twitter profile, not to bring my politics into the game. Dragon Age has always been about belonging - about realizing that family is more than blood and about celebrating our diversity and differences. It will remain so. Dragon Age is about hope, about how love and friendship are forces for good and about how, in the end, what we have is each other. Ultimately, though - all art is politics. It's just a hell of a lot easier to ignore it when those politics match up with yours: I wear my heart, and beliefs, on my sleeve. And I always will. We have finite time on this world. I want to spend mine making it a better and more caring place. Mary Kirby @biomarykirby...what would even be IN a DA game, if we took the politics out? Cheese jokes? John Epler @eplerjcButts butts butts? Mary Kirby @biomarykirbyEnchantment? [HASH]DAT

Nick Thornborrow @nthornborrow Ha! Let me put that question to bed. Bald.

In Dragon Age, people come together despite their differences for the greater good, and thus the fans are passionate, bright, friendly people. Witcher is all about shitty people getting ahead in life by stomping on good people without consequence, and every Witcher fanboys acts according to that worldview. And I'm proud to be on the side that isn't full of intolerant assholes.

I guess it's easy to say when we're not on receiving end of hate and complaints being thrown at us whenever we show up somewhere we're recognized, sometimes on daily basis. Yesterday must've felt pretty good to be part/former part of DA team, but we know that things aren't always so nice.

I wonder who asked them about keeping politics out, i mean you only need to play a origin story to be hit in the face with them, or walk about kirkwall, even climb a hill in DA:I
Politics has always been there an taking it out is basically leaving nigh zero dialogue or quests so im guessing whoever asked either has never played a DA game or is just trying to stir trouble, either way nice of them to make a arse

Amusingly, there's usually a significant overlap between these folks and those who scream about creators 'not giving in to PC culture' or demands of a specific audience (even if they demand things they like even louder and complain vociferously if they don't get it)... Typical doublethink and double-standard stuff.

"Politics" is just a codeword scumbags use for "how dare a game depict women/POC/LGBT as actual people!"
You can tell it's that because the same people who whine about "politics" in BioWare games worship The Witcher, where such characters themselves act like their place is to be subservient to aryan men like Geralt.

I'd just like it if they kept preachy one-sided politics out the story and concentrate on a good, entertaining, story. And they do, for the most part.

When people say “keep the politics out of gaming” they mean no people of color because “they didn’t have black people in medieval times”, keep all the women subservient and big breasted with long hair and skimpy armor, and definitely, absolutely, no homosexuals ever. 😂

You realize there are gay, trans, and cross dressers in the Witcher series, as well as other social outcast types, and Geralt is *friends* with them right? Hell his adopted daughter is canonically bi.
