I forgot where I read it, but weapons are actually one of the hardest things to make believable. Especially blades of any kind.

Things that try to look like things often look more like things than things. Well known fact.

I am excited for the web series, but I hope that it's a comedy. If it is meant to be taken seriously, I am not sure that they could pull it off. I was super psyched to hear about Felicia Day being involved though, I'll be seeing her the Emerald City Comicon next month, so maybe she will talk more about it. :-)

This looks ... a little horrific, but it's going to sell copies of this game to the right people, moreso than any other marketting move BW could make. So while you couldn't pay me to watch it, I'm on board. Good idea.

The costume isn't sexist, it's merely completely inadequate in terms of what a rogue-type would actually need for protective gear.

Elven rogue light armour in DAO was far more skimpy than what she's wearing.

Here is another new interview at io9 with Felicia. Plus a new picture.

I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say here.  Misogyny?  Chauvinism?
Demanding better people?  What are you talking about?

Tell me with a straight face (figuratively speaking) you don't think that costume of hers isn't sexist. Come on. Tell me.

I know you can't see it, but straight-faced...

that costume looks awesome.

I'd complain about the ears, but only because I dislike the DA2 downward slant to the ears - that's not a fault of her costume, but of what her costume represents.

Good find!

I've added it to the initial post.

Thanks,

Anyone, feel free to point back there (for the google / IMDB / wikipedia impaired)

Ugh. This is going to be so bad, it may be worth watching for a laugh.

[Ramus Quaritch]

How much do you want to bet that Tallis is Felicia Day's character in DA:O? If true, it's awesome that she gets to play her character in an actual series that is viewed by the public! I'm sure we've all imagined our Warden or our Shepard in a movie or tv series... I know I have...

[Lord_Caledore]

I'm just hoping this will be "so bad it's fun" rather than "so bad it's embarrassing and awkward to watch".

[Dr. wonderful]

I hope it so Bad it's awesome.



Other then that FAN SERVICE!

Alright, I admit that made me laugh.

I don't know why so many people think it will be bad. The Guild may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's very well done, and her work in Joss Whedon's shows has been excellent. There's a reason that she's an actor he brings back repeatedly.

They're judging it like they would a video game, which would be "How close to Avatar does it look?"

[Vhaius]

This could go either way in my opinion. Hope it goes well.

I love Felicia Day as a person, and I'm a big fan of the Guild. But the fact is, fantasy is hard to make look decent even with a huge budget. The season finale of this last season of the guild was cringe-worthy in itself, when they filmed the "in game" stuff. Wearing that sort of costume just makes everyone start acting wooden, for some reason.

The thing about cosplay (or anything really) is that you have to be 100% confident in yourself. If you're don't think you can pull it off, then nobody else will.

And I think that's actually a big reason why cosplayers and LARPers are trashed so much within the geek/nerd community - they (the RPers/Cosplayers) end up projecting their insecurities about looking stupid, etc very loudly with their embarassed postures and stiff expression. Naturally, it touches a very deep-seated nerve of the community at large that has dealt with "looking stupid" from the mainstream POV, and thus they lash out.

Really can't blame anyone for getting embarassed/wooden once they don a costume. *shrugs*

I don't for amateurs, but professional actors SHOULD be able to make anything work in any situation, shrug. And while what you say makes a lot of sense, it doesn't make the second hand embarassment from watching stuff like this go away

Heh, it really doesn't! I still cringe when I see it too. And honestly it's not up to the audience to coddle them. They need to understand that nobody is going to come down with a magic wand and make their insecurities go away. They need to buck up and realize they shouldn't base their self-esteem on what other people say.

Either way, should be interesting to see how this all turns out.

[LadyBri]

I adore Felicia Day, and if this is anything like her previous work I'll be happy

[NonCanon]

I can't help but love Felicia Day. So combining her and Dragon Age?

I feel like even if it turns out to be bad, it'll be so bad that it's good.

[cihimi]

I hope this dies of a quick death. Oh, the tackiness.... <sob>

[Deified Data]

I simply don't understand the appeal of this woman. I'm not incredibly shallow, and I love a geeky girl, but Day's face just makes me cringe. Like, on a Sarah Jessica Parker level.



She should be heard and not seen, as in Fallout: New Vegas' Veronica.
