Really awesome preview man, I've been so busy lately with other things I haven't gotten to keep up with news that much but this was an awesome preview to read. The spoiler section wasn't that spoilery IMO, probably because we have it out of context but either, thanks for the impressions

[upsettingshorts]

Maybe Bethany and Carver are Daveth and Jory! /forum asplode

[Gashington]

Was it like Cataclysm? (oh, spoiler, kind of)

Yes, exactly like that but MORE FIRE!

So when you saw the party selection screen, which characters were there exactly at this point?

Aveline, Varric, Isabela and Bethany

This.

I'm liking what I'm reading so far. So far, I'm even more antsy for DA2 now. Few more months to go!

Thanks , at least that confirms Bethany is a full party member at some point in the game.

We have. It's possible for both Carver and Beth to be alive in Kirkwall if the Rise to Power trailer has anything to say about it.

See from what I am seeing here there are only two options:

1) it is a choice between Carver or Aveline as to who survives. That choice could have weight added to it due to context we are unaware of, such as it requiring you to sacrifice Aveline via blood magic in order to save Carver. Who knows. It would leave you with a party like this after recruiting Isabela:

Mage Hawke/Rogue/Rogue/Warrior/Mage
Warrior/Warrior/Rogue/Rogue/Mage
Rogue/Rogue/Rogue/Warrior/Mage

Basically hurrah for rogues?

2) It is purely about Carver and there is now an option to save him (or not). This would result in you having an extra warrior in the mix to the numbers above, which isn't completely out of the question considering you sometimes get an indundation of companions at one part of the game in a Bioware title.

I'm still hoping there's a choice to help Wesley in some way. I know it's unlikely, but hey. I like my templars.

Well, I'm beginning to get the slightest sparks of hope about this game if this is true. Of course, the biggest factor in me liking the game or not will be the story, and if Mass Effect 2 is an indicator... (considering ME2 on PS3 confirms ME1 is irrelevant to the story, its likely ME2 will also be irrelevant to the overall story, and we won't get any returning party members, which means ME2 will likely be retroactively ruined [even worse]}

me2 on ps3 will have a interactive comic book in which we can make the important decisions from ME1 to import into ME2.
i liked the comics so this a plus for me.

You're forgetting Aveline as  Mhairi too!

So did you get a feel for any of your party members' personalities? Anything on what they are like? How are the VAs, what do the characters like Isabela and Carver sound like?

[andar91]

Thanks for letting us know what you thought. It's always appreciated.

[Dave of Canada]

Did you manage to hear Hawke's voice? Did it sound like Vaughan?

[GAJENDRA THE ELITE]

YES,SOMETIME.ISABELA TOO

[Boombox]

Thanks for the info! I think it might be a choice between the warriors.. Which sounds good to me. Better replay value! Anyway, Aveline better get some cool armor or something, I hate her rags.

At first I thought that was a kind of ridiculous suggestion, but now that I think more about the situation it seems more plausible. If the choice WERE to be between Carver and Aveline, surely they would have to give some reason for not saving your brother. Such as having to resort to blood magic and sacrifice Aveline to do so. Although this would be assuming Bethany has any knowledge of blood magic, or perhaps Flemeth I guess.

Why Aveline? She has (presumably) just lost her husband and is probably grief-stricken. I can see several potential circumstances that could tie in to her willingly sacrificing herself (though it could be unwilling), but with so little information about the plot of the game I can't really assume them.

Also, seeing Carver getting smooshed in that cutscene, I can't really see how you could actively stop that from happening. Especially since you're not supposed to know what's about to happen before you play. Therefore if they were to be any choice involved, it would (imo) be more likely to happen AFTER said smooshing, as Carver lay dying.

[Da_Lion_Man]

Sounds crappy.

Carver was not present, no one spoke apart from Isabela and Hawke, so no.

Did you manage to hear Hawke's voice? Did it sound like Vaughan?

Maybe actually... He had an english accent (a proper one) and didn't sound as hostile

[Hellosanta]

Ok, Vaughan sounds hostile, so how about this?





DID HAWKE SOUND LIKE HIM? /hopes

[TuringPoint]

Maybe you choose who to sacrifice? MEh.

It seems to me some choice made before that cutscene could change what would happen.  It could be something like encouraging Carver to be brave, or giving him some reason to prove himself or something.

[Ryllen Laerth Kriel]

Does this make Varric...Dog? Cool! I plan to name my Varric Rabbit.

[namedforthemoon]

So it seems you get Varric in your party pretty early on. Hmm. I wonder how he joins up with you.

[jhawke]

for those who got to play the demo, did you get to see what moves Aveline did as a Sword and Shield warrior?



Like, did she have the Charge attack where the warrior dashes forward in a flash of "light?"



I'm trying to get an idea if that Charge ability is a Warrior talent or just a 2h talent......



thanks.

[Gashington]

No, Hawke sounds closer to Queen's english
