Oh, I should have figured! They're by givethemhorns.deviantart.com, of course, part of a stunning series of Anders art, if you haven't seen them.

Omg, imagine Cullen versions of these, except he's being tortured and not made tranquil.

NOOOO NOT MY CULLEN!! I WILL KILL THE BASTARDS!! *angry rage face*


Ahem, anyway... Do you think Anders is already tranquil in the branding picture? He doesn't seem too panicked in that picture.

Ugh... I couldn't look at this. Had to scroll past >.< I hate torture stuff.

[LolaLei]

E3 draws ever closer!

[LolaLei]

I don't mean seeing him getting beaten, just chained up in his little dungeon cell or something.

The art on the previous page is amazing to look at. Been looking at their deviantart pages.

The Cullen sketches are great too (I prefer the beardy look). It will look amazing when finished.

So do we know for sure yet if this is a nx gen console game?

[LolaLei]

Not yet. We should know by Monday.

I hope you're right about Cullen. I can't predict my reaction if he's not.

Aaagh! That's so hard to look at! Poor Anders! He looks sad and defeated. I hope we do get to learn more about the Rite of Tranquility because in DAO it seemed to be a Big Deal that required planning and preparation and the First Enchanter. Of course they could have just been making a big deal out of it when, really, the procedure itself is simple. In DA2 it seemed like Tranquil were popping up overnight and Alrik seemed to hint that he could just do it if he wanted. The brand is also another anomaly. I don't recall it being done to Tranquil in Ferelden in DAO. Or maybe it was hidden? I just thought Kirkwallers liked displaying who had been a naughty mage for all to see. Or to keep mages from impersonating Tranquil - though why any would want to is beyond me. Could also be to keep track of Tranquil mages. Perhaps, their phylacteries don't work once it's done? Maybe? I dunno. So many inconsistencies! Curse you Bioware! hehehehehe....

In DAO, there was a book in Kinloch Hold that mentions how untrained mages can overextend their powers and drain themselves down to a point where they're instantly cut off from the Fade. The magical backlash usually kills them. So, based on that, in my fic, I have Tranquility portrayed as something that can be done by templars. And part of the Rite is to use a lyrium brand or some kind of lyrium overload to "force open", for lack of a better way to say it, a mage's connection to the Fade. Their inner spiritual stitches that join them, to the Fade are temporarily overcharged and before there's a backlash or a demon coming through, the templar uses an ability - maybe a really strong Drain - to draw all of that magic out. As a result, the "pathways" for magic are basically burnt out. Or the soul is ruined, like Anders' lobotomy analogy. But that would be irreversible so I go with the burnt fuse idea instead. That's how I've canonized it in my head anyway. I'm probably way off though. =D

Edit: Love the art posts gals! R2, your commission looks crazy good! Can't wait to see it!

I'll skip the ice cream and jump straight to the part where I throw my Xbox out of the window, LOL!

(Awesome artwork is awesome!)

And I've caught up on everything I've missed, and I noticed some disquiet about all the graphic gushing from the devs. I don't think you need to worry too much about that, guys. Graphics and ambiance and the like is just the least spoilerific thing they can tease us with. c:

I'm just worried that they've put so much into the graphics and environments that the story and character development suffers.

I don't think so. Seeing as there are great games out there, with stunning visuals and amazing story lines...I think Bio is going to want to stay in the top of story telling and rpgs. So it's actually in their best interest to develope everything equally.

It's a valid worry, but I think it's just a matter of them teasing us with what won't give anything away. They can't really tease us about the story without spoiling something they might not want to spoil. I haven't been m a j o r l y disappointed with Bioware yet, so I'm zen about it.  /o/

I'm still hoping to see a clip tomorrow about DA3. Even just a really short one.

There was a really good post I read on Tumblr (I think the face model for Kaidan linked it actually) about all the reasons not to buy a the new xbox one, and instead put your money towards a really good gaming PC or at least the PS4. I just can't believe how ridiculous some of the features for this new xbox are (you really expect me to pay you for tv services? Really? ) Plus the whole "kinect is ALWAYS listening" thing is just creepy as f*ck. 

I'm fully planning on buying the next DA on PC this time around (I usually go for the console first, as I'm a lot more comfortable with the controls on a controller vs keyboard) The greed of these companies, and the way they are abusing their consumers (us!) is just plain aggrivating. 

OK, going to stop before I start some console vs PC war. I still do love my xbox, though mainly for streaming Netflix these days...occasionally for Minecraft 

[LolaLei]

I guess it depends when it comes to spoilers. If the survey leak is legit then we know the basic plot already so they might tell us at E3.

To be honest I'd be happy just seeing what the protagonist looks like in-game.

[LolaLei]

I'm glad I got a new high end PC now! I'll buy it on Xbox first if its compatible on current gen consoles. Apparently Xbox One will cost about £600 (roughly $800 for you guys), which is absolutely ridiculous money!

[LolaLei]

Apparently there is still an E3 preview show happening tomorrow on SpikeTV, I dunno if DA3 will be mentioned on it but it might still be worth tuning in.
