One thing I was thinking a bit about DAV is the team dynamics. I hope we get a group of companions who, at least initially, may not be thrilled to work together (Neve and Lucanis perhaps). I kept thinking about Morrigan in DAO and Merrill and Fenris in DA2 and how they resonated (or not) with other characters. I'm also super interested in how the relationship between Rook and Inky is going to be developed - will there be a possibility of conflict between them (perhaps regarding Solas' fate)?

Aged, definitely, which is also great since I adore more mature looking characters.

I'm rooting for mid-/late September because it would roughly follow the timeframe of EA's Jedi: Survivor from gameplay reveal to release and also because I really don't want to wait any longer.

Its cool to have a black and elven companion but i want to be honest from all of 7 characters i find Davrin the least exciting.
At the end he is another Grey Warden. He should bring something new to the table which Bioware hasn´t explore with other Grey Warden companions. I kinda what hoped that Davrin would quite the opposite of what Thom Rainier sees what the Grey Wardens are. A Warrior who is only interesting in dealing with the Blight and has even extreme views on things. A more extreme version of Duncan if you like. You've jest described the main idea for my Grey Warden PT, a DA version of Paragade Shepard ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/KGsHESiZGZU0pPuHuhQr.png) Yeah, I hope Davrin will be more nuanced than the run-of-the-mill hero type, but I'm not holding my breath, tbh.

So I saw that Miranda Raison is listed as a voice actor for Veilguard on IMDB. It makes sense that she would appear given her importance to the Inquisition, but hopefully this means the Inquisitor's other love interests will make an appearance if appropriate. This is great news, if not entirely unexpected,since Cass is one my favourite characters in DAI. Also Queen Anora is listed on IMDB, so perhaps some of the DAO characters will make a cameo.

I wonder if Manfred is going to be similar to Murray, the Demonic Skull from the Monkey Island series - a kind of a sassy loudmouth. If yes, I'm gonna love him. Manfred doesn't have the capacity for speech in Tevinter Nights.
Ah, thanks for clarification, I haven't read Tevinter Nights.

Seems perfect for an angsty affair. If Bioware decides to go back to Friendship/Rivalry paths (which I really hope so), he would be my go-to option for a Rivalry romance.

Am I a minority in the fandom for wanting to bitch slap Solas into oblivion? Because my Twitter right now is full of Solavellans, and I feel like an island. I mean, I do have two timelines—one for kicking his butt, the other for redeeming him just for the different options. But my first instinct is to spartan kick him on the prologue. While I can more or less see where Solas is coming from (given that we don't have the full picture) from my moral framework he deserves to die. It would take some very particular revelations and/or character development on his part to change my mind. Exactly. I could see my Inky debating whether kill or spare her old companion, but for my Rook, who has no previous relationship with him, Solas is committing mass murder. So, the Egg is getting smashed (at least in my first playthrough).

I wonder what Harding is? Warrior or Rogue? It will influence what I roll as a starting char. I'm thinking Rogue - a spymaster kind of figure.

But that's besides the point: it's not the question of how the previous installments compared with their trailers in terms of their content but the overall aesthetics, which kept to, to a larger or lesser extent, dark fantasy convention. My first impression when watching this one was "Fortnitesque" (as cliche it sounds) - and I don't even play Fortnite. Again, I'm giving Bioware benefit of the doubt. It can be indicitive, and informative, to point out trends though. Which the tone from the first DAO trailers were lot of heavy metal and rock, stuff I normally associate with angsty teens so I would've assumed Origins to be super edgy and 'mature'. Instead we got a pretty deep and thoughtful game that actually took a look at real life politics and what not. On that we can agree; hence my willingness to wait and see.

I re-watched the trailer and I'm convinced I'm not the target audience. Sure, we shouldn't judge the whole game based on a trailer, but I'm not surprised by the less-than-enthusiastic reactions. It's just so different from what many of us came to expect from and appreciate about the DA franchise. And it's never good when devs have to assure the audience that the actual game feels different from the trailer. Still, it's great that the gameplay reveal is tomorrow - I hope the ambivalent first impressions will be dispelled either way (and I do want to be enchanted by DAVe!) Was Origins like its trailers? Was DA 2? Was even Inquisition? I'd say Inquisition was the closest but even then 'I am hunted for the power I wield' didn't exactly come out in things and stuff from Sacred Ashes or the DA 2 cinematic trailer also really didn't match...not to mention all the heavy rock/ metal stuff from Origins as well. But that's besides the point: it's not the question of how the previous installments compared with their trailers in terms of their content but the overall aesthetics, which kept to, to a larger or lesser extent, dark fantasy convention. My first impression when watching this one was "Fortnitesque" (as cliche it sounds) - and I don't even play Fortnite. Again, I'm giving Bioware benefit of the doubt.

The overwhelming majority of the companions aka 5 or even 6 are new characters which have or haven´t appeared in other media. I honestly think that you guys can tolerate one or two familiar faces in this 7 party. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/uYQYVMAupPAfTXFFwWlB.png) Edit: And an optional character in DAI like Calpernia is also a character which many players never have even meet. So no big deal.
Good point with Calpernia - she'd make a fine morally ambivalent companion. That's actually another thing I'd love to see - companions will less than stellar reputation and character.

I really don't want Harding as a companion. We only have 7 this time around and I'd rather get new characters than returning ones. Yeah, although familiar faces are (almost) always welcome, I'd prefer them as cameo appareances rather than companions. We've been waiting 10 years for this, it's high time we got something/someone brand new (and shiny).

I refuse to give in to pessimism when we’re so close to the big reveal. The name change is a bit awkward (I’d ditch the “the”), but not terrible. 2 companions is worrying, but I’ll wait for the gameplay. And the implied playersexuality is actually something I look forward to, so no complaint from me here.

1) Will you be judging the final product of Dragon Age Dreadwolf against the time that specific version of the game has had for development? Or the entirety of the time between the release of Trespasser and the release of Dreadwolf?And 2) Assuming Dreadwolf is the most action oriented entry in the series, is that automatically "points deducted"? For context, before he departed from BioWare, Mark Darrah was responding to a post from someone about hoping Dragon Age returned to its 'tactical gameplay' roots, and he said that it was unlikely, and if anything they'd probably "skew further in the opposite direction" i.e. towards more action oriented gameplay, like The Witcher, or God of War. 1) Considering all the internal perturbations Bioware went through I think it's only fair to judge the game on the basis of its current timeline, as disappointed I am for having to wait 10 years. 2) No, not at all. My first time playing DAO many years go was a bit painful because the tactical combat was so challenging for me. But in my case narrative is more significant than gameplay - as ancient as I am, I even took time to learn D&D rules just to play BG3, because I got invested in the story. In short, no prejudice on my part in any case.

Interesting, my approach is exactly the opposite - Reyes lies through his teeth and seems an opportunist: the way he handled Sloane's assassination means he can't be trusted. I don't buy his romantic involvement at all, it seems to me a very typical, if not blatantly manipulative way of gaining Ryder's trust. Sloane is basically "what you see is what you get." I'll that instead Reyes' shifty attitude each and every time. That was more or less why I choose Reyes - the unknown - over her. I didn't believe she wouldn't sabotage the colony's efforts out of spite even if she'd given permission to it and I didn't believe she wouldn't be adding hoops before and after it had been established. While the Collective is ruthless like Sloane but merely in a different way, the Collective seemed more pragmatic and business-like which made me more inclined to believe they'd see the benefits of establishing a good relationship with the Initiative because of things like trade and not be inclined to compromise that partnership because of spite or other past history. In short, the known was not acceptable and so the unknown was preferable. Note: I don't meta-game so I don't take into account how Sloane acts if she survives the encounter with Reyes. I also do not take into account events or perceptions from books for the same reason. Not meta-gaming either, I'd rather pick "better the devil you know" option. Reyes seems just way too unpredictable when compared to Sloane.
