See, I leave the forum for 2 days and suddenly theres a new trailer, a new (old) character and Varric has a crossbow named Bianca. I should evidently leave more often.
It's pretty obvious the Isabela needed a redesign - her DAO model was generic and... pretty ugly. I'm rather a fan of this new Isabela, and I especially like her style - the clothes and daggers are really nice. I also like that, as someone mentioned, barring a retcon she's the first non-heterosexual female lead. I especially like that.
What I want to know is whether she'll have the same voice actor, and if so will she call Hawke "Sweet thing"?[/quote]




She'll have a new VO, and I'm glad for that. Otherwise I'd just be seeing Anora gone renegade and with full-body plastic surgery. Image IPB

no,  she won't have the same voice actor (who also voiced anora, and this is partly the reason for the change).


Interesting. Can I assume there isn't any info on exactly who her VA is yet, then? I assume the info was in one of the 50000 Isabela threads that seem to have arisen flike monstrosities rom the black muck that fills this forum on occasion.

Why would you even want a thread in which no one disagrees with you? So that you can keep reassuring one another about how right and smart you are? :P

Lol, I'm not stressing myself. These threads are fun, that's why I post in them. :P


I am sure the reason you like to post in those thread is to reassuring yourself how right and smart you are.

And I really would like to see a dev respond to why her face is so out of proportion. I really am sincerely curious if this is something that they did on purpose and are happy with, or if it's just a limitation of the engine/artists.


Maybe if you actully try to read a few comment developer had post you will know that Isabela's face will have a little tweak fix comming but will remain the same as she is now.

This social site need a age gate.

please don't try to goad people into a petty arguement, sometimes it's better just to leave it be.

right now we don't have a lead for who the voice actress is. though that also gives the opportunity for more speculation:P

Saddly, since this keeps popping up, I'm gonna have to quote myself...

I thought this might appease the most vehement of us and help them appreciate the new Isabela :

Image IPB
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
1) If you take off her pirate hat, and consider that her actual hairline is likely higher, her chin doesn't look so disproportionate anymore, does it ?

2) The angle most people have been arguing about shows Isabella slightly from below, which, I believe, led some of us to mistake the skin under her jaw (which is natural and healthy) with her actual jawline, making her chin appear bigger than it would from a frontal angle.


Now, having considered those two points, take another look at the first image, and you should realise that Isabela is, if not appealing enough to your liking, a reasonably proportionate video game character !


No, her face is not out of proportion !

I can't remember exactly, but wasn't it stated that they sounded similar? *or may that she was just as good, I really can't remember ...*

Your last post had nothing of interest other than an attempt to insult me and question my maturity. Don't think that I'm the troll here. :P

i don't see the developers picking someone with a radically different voice from her previous portrayal in origins so they have to a bit similar, now if only we knew if this is someone new to voicing characters in dragon age we would have something to go by.

I just still don't grasp the defense behind "so what if she's not a natural beauty, it's refreshing" when she's got a pair of stacked DD's shoved into a corset while wearing thigh high leathers and no pants..



I would much rather imo have a beautiful face and more toned down body design than vice versa, but I guess that's just me.. Because her body model screams overly sexualized, which is fine because that's her character, but why is revamping the face to a more idealized beauty standard wrong, but having her in about the most ridiculous outfit for combat alright? I'm confused.



People still nitpick Lara Croft because of her over sexualization but never because she's got a pretty face, but now when criticism is leveled at that aspect of this character, people are reversing what I had always saw as the main culprit of sexy girl bashing, that she's too skimpy.. *scratches head*

Yeah, David Gaider states in the main stickied trailer topic that her VA sounds similar. What that means is another matter entirely.

I'm hopeless with VAs - I never even noticed that Isabela and Anora had the same one, haha.

I, personally, love the new look about Isabela. She stands out much more now with the revisions, more so than her standard NPC look in the Pearl. Her new clothing is amazing, although I find all of the new armor to be awesome. The Free Marches appear to be much more--not frontier, exactly--but along those lines. It seems we're being given a more rugged landscape, and the armor and all now have some edge to them. I love the Origins armor/clothes as well, but DA2 is really throwing in individuality as far as I can tell.  (I could ramble about my thoughts on all this for an extremely long time, so I'll move on!)

I have no problems with her face. She looks beautiful and strong. I have no doubt that she can take care of herself very easily (and the trailer helps reinforce that belief). I'm excited to get to know more about her more than anything, because she intrigued me in Origins. I had quite a nice card game with her, and that's all my characters ever did with her. I didn't know about the "romance" options until much later. That just makes her more appealing (although not for "those" reasons)!

To me, she seems to epitomize freedom. She runs her own ship and lets herself go, wherever with whomever. I admire that. She reminds me of some of the buccaneers I read journals from and studied about in my French America class. I just envy that sort of free spirited nature. From what we know, or seem to know, about her I think she'll be a highly interesting character to have around.

I think max rivalry with her, as SirOccam put it, would be spicy. I'm going to hold out on who I decide to romance, but she'll find someone on one of my playthroughs! I can see her being an extremely fun character to banter with in rivalry though. Part of me now wants to go and watch Gimli and Legolas in combat.

We don't know at what point in time she comes into the story. It spans 10 years, so it may be a few years before we see her or perhaps she'll grant us passage to Kirkwall. It's hard to say right now. I think that timing will be kept in mind, and that she'll likely appear a couple of years into it. That, or as someone said in another thread somewhere, she might be unavailable for a time as she returns to Denerim where she would have met the Warden.

Plus, she's being written by Sheryl. She gave me Wynne Image IPB, who I would totally have a mutual love and respect romance with in a heartbeat if the dialogue allowed me to. I trust Sheryl will give us a great personality to work with, for any type of Hawke we play (bad, chaotic, good, orderly, etc).

Edit: Made the typing look less of like a wall. Ick! It really didn't submit well.

Is this a "Nope" not gonna say, or a "Nope" she hasn't done work in a Bioware game before? ;)
