Concept Art looks sweeet. Man I can't wait to explore all of this in-game!

Great catch OP! I can't wait. Looks like an alienage. I wonder if it's an extension of the Kirkwall alienage?

Nice. This'll probably be the first area we see of Kirkwall in the actual game.


I'd disagree unless Lowtown is where the city entrance is located (doubt it though since slaves could've easily fled). The Amells are nobles in Kirkwall, we'd most likely stay in the better portion.

Ha!  Amazing that you made this post at exactly the same time signature as the one I made just above yours.

Forget it Hawke, it's Lowtown.
I'm hyping this setting up for myself ._.

The Darktown sewer thing makes me nervous. Tell me there are no C.H.U.D down there. I'll feel better.

Hawke: "Come on, let's go into the sewer to chase down those bad guys!"
Varric: "You first, I will, um, be busy back here tucking in my expensive, Antivan jacket."
Bethany: "You're just going to bail on us!"
Varric: "Would I do that to you?" *smirk*
Bethany: "I, oh, very well. Let's pick someone else to be the rogue for this outting."
Varric: "Meet you at the pub when you get back!"

Yep, I was reading your mind. Totally intentional :whistle:

Sigh. More snarky dwarves, just what fantasy doesn't need more of. Hopefully I can sell Varric to slavers and find another dwarf who doesn't have to make up for incompetence with chest hair and swagger.

It's clustered around the harbour apparently, and I assume we're going by ship.

i doubt a noble family would want a scandal like having a family member married to an apostate in templar run city though.

I'll be upset if you don't include this in your Varric Game, for serious.

Incompetence? Actually, Varric strikes me more as the kind of guy who always knows exactly what he's doing.

I suppose we shall see. It's possible that Bioware learned from their huge blunder, Oghren. Sigrun sort of suggests it's possible.

This what I'm thinking.  The Hawke family will probably go there expecting to get let into better parts of the city, but get stopped at the gate for something or another and find out the mother's family won't be helping them.

The concept art looks nice. I just wish they actually showed what it looks like in-game. The lack of in-game pics of finished towns has me a bit worried.

I'd like to point out that if you strip Oghren down to his smallclothes, he's as bare as a prepubescent boy. I should know. :wizard:

... about stripping Oggie down to his smalls, not about prepubescent boys. Felt I should clear that up.

Nice! Love the concept art. Must admit I was hoping for slightly more info in the write ups though, and maybe one or two in game screens. Still, good to see more updates rolling out!

i can already imagine that this is where the bulk of the merchants guild spy network resides.

Could be this is where we meet Varric. Perhaps he provides Hawke's family with "papers" in exchange for a small favor of course (Smirk!)

Oh crap, sewer tunnels. I bet my boots there'll be some murderous thing lurking down there, and guess who'll have to take up disinfestation?  That's right, us.

Seems like this Lowtown'll be the area we start off in. Maybe a quest about finding a house for the family (assuming we have any left :pinched:)? Or something about dealing with the local crime organization, I always like those types of assignment.
Also, the first concept art is a thing of beauty<3 :o.
 


Rats. just like the start of every bad adventure story my grandfather used to tell. /Ser Gilmore. :P

Lowtown sounds like a lot of fun. A bunch of warehouses probably, and the docks, seedy bars and taverns and... other places of "recreation"... mafia run "Pet Shops". Maybe they'll throw in pick-pocketer NPC's that pick-pocket you.
