sooo....was there any new info on hybrid specs like Arcane Warrior.....or rogue/mage hybrid spec?

He mentioned that trailer Hawke is a mage using blood magic, take that as you will.

Which remind me, Do you have to be a mage to use blood magic? Or you could be a warrior?

That would make you an arcane warrior. If you have the ability to use magic, you're considered a mage.

I'm not sure this is entirely true, the reaver warrior specialization is taught to you by kolgrim. His dialog describing the abilities he'd teach specifically says the line "there is great power in blood, and through andraste's guidance we have unlocked this power." That always lead me to believe that reavers tapped in to blood magic.

A dwarf can be a Reaver...so...not exactly.

Heres some descriptions of a few of the reaver abilities.

Devour: The reaver revels in death, absorbing the lingering energy of all nearby
corpses, each of which partially restores the reaver’s own health.

Aura of Pain: Radiating an aura of psychic pain, the reaver takes constant spirit damage while this mode is active, as do all enemies nearby.

Oh, has anyone mentioned David saying they are considering allowing Hawke's looks to influence how his/her Family's looks? That would be pretty cool.

They did it in Fallout 3.

The taint gives you the power to sense darkspawn. I don't call it magic because it doesn't seem like it's a willful use of mana or anything.

A mage is someone who is born with the ability to manipulate magic. Normal people can use magic though other means (Templars, Reavers, Spirit Warriors), but they aren't considered Mages.

But yeah, Reavers are probably using some form of blood magic to fuel their abilites.

Cassandra:  "So, tell me about the Hawke family...."

Varric:  "They were a hideous looking lot.....that Hawke family.  They made darkspawn look like fair maidens....."

Cassandra:  "Fascinating......"

How is that magical? Your body makes biological changes because of the taint, if you drank the blood of the "risen andraste" and underwent similar biological changes then i would consider it an analog.

So what's everyone plan on asking him tomorrow?

I just remembered the Free Marches codex entry in Origins mentioned a Grand Tourney in Tantervale. I should probably ask him if that is going to happen in-game.

Here's a story of an ugly woman who was bringing up 3 very ugly girls, all of them had hair of mold, like the mother the youngest one with squirrels...

I was rather disappointed in people's reactions to David saying that EA wasn't the devil.

Yeah, the only thing that sets mages apart from regular folks is their ability to perform magic based on will. Others can make use of it so long as they have something to act in place of a mage's will. For Templars it is lyrium and with Reavers it is blood.

I'm not saying reavers are blood mages, but i am saying they make
use of blood magic. So in that sense i agree. Also aren't you given the
dialog option of saying "this smells of blood magic" when Kolgrim ask
you to pour the blood in to the urn so the risen andraste can absorb the
residual power her "mortal" body left behind. That act itself doesn't
involve lyrium or mana, but its blood magic all the same, and thats the
essence of what i'm saying.

The original quote which i was replying to that started this tangent was "don't you have to be a mage to use blood magic?" My answer, was no you don't have to be a mage to utilize blood magic. But i would agree being a "blood mage" meant you needed to be a mage.

He should be careful you know. This kind of neglect is how Lucifer was created.

Kind of.

In a way.

Um..not at all.

/Waits for transcript.

Ask him tomorrow!

[lydlyd]

That live chat was awesome! I only got around to it towards the end but I'm looking forward to the next one tomorrow. I think I'll just watch though, asking him the same question a lot of times would just flood my twitter account.

[Leonia]

Sorry if it has been asked but, is there a transcript and/or recording of this interview? Totally bummed that I slept through it
