Yet they went with that trailer first and there's no second chance for first impressions. Sometimes marketing is gonna do a poop. Sadly, Dragon Age is no stranger to this and the devs don't seem to have that much power to decide versus what marketing says based on whatever graphs they cooked up with focus groups. Very true. I can just imagine some fresh marketing yo-yo with a Powerpoint presentation tell everyone what their trailer should be like. I still have hope for the gameplay trailer but this one didn't do them many favours.

I doubt the characters will look different in the gameplay trailer. Who goes ahead and creates different character models for a trailer, especially if they don't look as good as the in-game ones? And BioWare wouldn't have the time and staff to spare for that kind of thing anyway given recent events. They apparently did. What's different here? Qunari girl looks pretty much the same as far as I can tell with the blurriness going on here?

One is left to wonder why they couldn't represent the art style in a reveal trailer. I doubt the characters will look different in the gameplay trailer. Who goes ahead and creates different character models for a trailer, especially if they don't look as good as the in-game ones?

That art style. Dragon Age the Telltale game or the Overwatch DLC? Especially jarring when cartoony qunari girl attacks the dragon that is still done in the old DAI graphics style. Not a fan of the music choice and the overall vibe of "wheee the world is ending it's gonna be so much FUN".
But maybe it looks much better in game and the gameplay trailer will be great? But then again, doesn't usually the trailer look way better than the actual game?

That V symbol looks like right out of V Rising, stylized bat wings and all. Just more purple instead of red and black.

I don't think a gang of eight people need an advisor. We're not leading a big organization this time. The close camaraderie of a small group would make a nice change from DAI.
I'd prefer all new characters if seven companions is all we get. They did repeat the "a hero they don't see coming" thing, so I hope that there's no connection to the Inquisition and related characters at all. Codex entries suffice, thank you. I don't want to pretend to get to know them all over again.

"You can romance any companion you like"... you just need to pick the right gender for your protagonist. Doors and corners, kid. That's where they get you.

Name change: it went from meh to meh, not better or worse.
Only 2 party members at a time: oh well, it worked well for Mass Effect.
Speaking of which, I really really hope we don't get the silly "prime and boom" gameplay that reduces weapons to combo primers on higher difficulties instead of primary killing tools.
Seven overall companions: shouldn't be a problem, you could make a great game with 3 companions overall.
Please have good melee combat. With melee weapons that have different swing patterns etc. Not with differently looking combo primers.

I'd greatly prefer to not be in touch with any big organization like the Inquisition at all, let alone being a "leader" (who somehow still does all the errand boy jobs) again. I know, lots of people like the story to be "epic" (even bigger threat! even more world shaking decisions!) but I'd really like to start as Private A**hole once and maybe finish as Sergeant A**hole. Your protagonist doesn't have to be super important to meet interesting companions.
And please no DLC later that builds on "yeah some time passed and your dudes cocked it up and you couldn't do anything about that so here's a new problem..."

I don't want Varric to return and in fact, I don't want anyone else to return. It's just awkward to play a new protagonist and then pretend to get to know those returning characters again.
Also Varric or anyone else from the Inquisition returning would immediately cancel the "someone Solas doesn't know" effect. Solas definitely knows about Varric and probably about everyone else associated with the Inquisition. Think he'll never wonder what they recruited this new guy for?

Can't wait for the implementation of "social stealth" in AC:Shadows. Click the "blend in" prompt and all those guards in pursuit won't be able to tell Yasuke from all the other huge black men in the village. We strike from the shadows. We don't stand out at all. That just snark, or Ubisoft actually adding that? Well, AC: Valhalla has a "blend in" feature where your massive Viking warrior carrying a two handed axe just sits next to an English peasant or pretends to do a menial chore and no one thinks it's weird. I wouldn't be surprised.

I really wonder how the "redeem Solas" choice at the end of Trespasser would affect DAD. After all we're not playing as the character who made that choice and our new protagonist most likely isn't even aware of it. Maybe it just changes the egg's final words or some such. I certainly hope there won't be an awkward Inquisitor import into DAD (like DAI let you "import" Hawke) - ten years later.

There is also a special move in chess called "castling" involving the Rook and the King. When neither has moved yet and there are no other pieces between them and the King is not checked, they may sort of switch positions: the King moves two fields to the left or right (neither field may be threatened) and then the Rook on that side jumps over the King to the field next to him - like covering his retreat.
Of course now we gotta wonder who the King is in that scenario.

Come on, "Rook of the Shadow Dragons" has a certain ring to it! I still don't see how the Inquisition can be in this if it's as riddled with spies as Trespasser claimed. Varric and Harding should be prime people to watch for Solas, so how could they even lift a hand without him knowing? They better not direct the enemy's attention right to my doorstep...

By the way, for how long has Mr. Darrah's company been supporting them to finish the project and "get ready for launch"? Two years? Might as well publish the game under the Triage Games logo by now.
That and the fact that Mr. Weekes was still talking about writing for the game doesn't inspire much confidence. Last time I read someone tweeting about writing for a game that was supposedly about to launch (David Gaider, DAI) we got a one year delay. Then again, it might not mean anything and they just shuffled some already existing stuff around.
We'll see... sooner or later.

Good sci-fi has rules that it sticks to - if it doesn't it loses a lot of suspense because there can always be the next ass-pull that saves the day and the audience never really knows if the characters involved are truly in danger in a given situation or if it's just a setup for the next rule of cool moment. Good characters and story and good setting and adhering to its rules complement each other. And great sci-fi is not afraid to breaks it owns rules to tell a great story: Star Trek, Dr. Who, Star Wars, Transformers, Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, X-Men, Babylon 5, Farscape all broke the rules of their respective universes when they had too, sometime the results are classics that redefine the characters and their universe and others are crap that are best left forgotten. If you don't take, chances and try new creative directions then they get stale and boring and lose interest that is what happened to all of those franchises at various times over the decades. I'm not familiar enough with any of the franchises you mentioned I'm afraid. Of all those I probably know Star Wars best as far as somewhat recent content is concerned and even there I lost interest after TLJ. Not sure where it broke its own rules to tell a great story ... but probably not during the first two sequel movies.

Why do we need a samurai - one of the epitomes of the honourable warrior supposedly - in a game that has "assassin" in its name? Shouldn't we be a ninja 100% of the time? It really really didn't work with vikings, and here we go again...

Yeah. She is easily the best part of that show. You know the show is shit when its best part is an annoying buffoon. I've only watched the first episode out of curiosity, but yeah... a cheerful bubbly Qunari works about as well as a cheerful bubbly Klingon in my opinion. People seem to like it though.

Good questions.
1. I will judge it based on how much production value and enjoyment I'm getting for my money. If I pay an AAA price, I expect an AAA experience. That means a decent amount of good quality content. Whether they produced that in two years of focused work or ten years of bumbling around and rebooting, well... those costs are for EA to bear.
2. As long as it's done well I don't mind. I love a good turn based RPG but I also greatly enjoy FromSoft style action spectacles. Whatever they pick between those two extremes, as long as the gameplay is good fun I'll be happy.
But I do have to say that the "grey warden fights two darkspawn and does a drop kick in full plate" leak looked pretty darn awful and I hope it's nothing like that.

I suppose it takes some skill to make a trailer that has so much going on and yet nothing of it is memorable or interesting, forgotten the next minute like a youtube short I accidentally scrolled into. Wait, I remember the pricing... ugh. I think I'm gonna sit this one out.
Don't care about the cultist wars.
