I'm still really curious why the flag in the burning village from the trailer is the same flag as on the GW fortress.

There are some interesting comments from David Gaider about what canon means with regard to the Warden.

Some of it seems to imply that they plan to show the Warden in future games in some capacity. Hmm.

That'll be interesting, there will be two of me running around in Thedas LOL!

Aaryn Flynn: "From @sliwinski about Dragon Age "Today, while developing the game, they made me sit and talk about it for a marketing video." Very true!"

I like the sound of that!

Aha, I think I see your meaning.
"The Warden of DAO is dead, because why would someone who's importing no
save (and is possibly a brand new player) care about their Warden still
being alive and involved in the plot? "

Hmm. Alive. Involved in plot. This, however, conflicts with the notion of actually "seeing" the warden if sex and race don't matter for the future.
"As for things which don't involve future content, like the sex and race of the Warden"

Interesting. That sounds to me like we might continue to hear about our Warden, but won't necessarily see her/him.

It's been mentioned in one of the videos (and said by Leliana at the end of DA][) that the Warden's and Hawke's disappearances are no coincidence. The fact that the Hero of Ferelden and the Champion of Kirkwall are otherwise engaged when the Veil tears open begs the question of where they are and what are they doing, especially when Varric cryptically tells Cassandra that 'circumstance' forced us to leave the Champion's side."

It would be nice if some of the gaps regarding our Warden and/or Champion actions could be explained in DAI, but...well, you know.

[LolaLei]

It's just occurred to me, what could possibly be left for them to say at sprint reviews? Now we have all this news they'd be telling us everything by name and stuff.

 I'm always late to the speculating! 



Anyway, revisiting this for a moment...

The figure in the front looks like he has a two handed sword on his back, not a mage staff. Whether he's a companion or the Inquisitor, I don't know. For the people speculating that it might be Cullen, though... I wouldn't say it's impossible. I would just warn not to get your hopes up, friends. 

(From a purely design point of view, however, I don't know why they wouldn't have the Inquisitor up the front, at the lead of the party, where the eye is drawn. I'm not sure you can always apply graphic design to concept art, though. They're kind of different fields. Hmm...)

[LolaLei]

Those pride demons have grown a fair amount!

But anyway, I'd have said the dude up front was the Inquisitor too.

[LolaLei]

Y'know what, I think that bald dude in the picture is the same guy as Chilled dude in the "stabby picture" AND the same guy with his hands bound in front of the female Inquisitor on the throne.

Maybe chilled dude is some sort of criminal or dodgy guy who gets brought in to be dealt with and then we can either have his head cut off, or keep him as a companion. Kinda like what the Warden could do with Nathaniel in Awakening.

[LolaLei]

On my phone I can scroll right in on that picture, and it's definitely a bald Elven dude.

Modifié par LolaLei, 21 août 2013 - 04:10 .

[Dirgegun]

Possibly! Though, I would have said that the tied up bald dude was a bit too bulky to be Chill McSmugson, who appears to be an elf? (And I really want to guess he's Dorian. I've grown fond of the elf magister idea.  )

I'm so interested in everyone I've seen! It makes me feel bad because there's been so much grousing over how none of the characters are doing anything for some people in here. I wish characters you'll love upon you! /o/

Edit: I take back what I said about tied up dude looking too bulky! I just looked at the picture again and realised I remembered him looking much bigger than he is. So okay, tied up dude really could be Chill McSmugson/an elf.

If that's the case... I wonder if that fancy dragon tat will make it onto his in-game model.

Yeah, I was looking at this some more last night, too. I would expect the lead dude to be the Inquisitor as well... and agree that it's a sword not a staff.

The dude in the back, though, does seem to have armor similar to that seen on the Inquisitors (the Assassin's creed blade, the helmet which could be similar to the one being "offered" to the adventurer by ring brodude). If it's early concept art, the characters could all just be simplications of possible followers. Like, if the armor dude is beardy GW, they may have just slapped on some of their favorite armor designs. We tend to see lots of repeats... like the wavy Chantry sun/seeker symbol just about everywhere.

The only really distinctive one is appparently Vivienne, but maybe they decided her general look early on and she's just really... distinctive!

Lola, on the size of the pride demon... maybe they'll make them a bit tougher of a boss after how much more badass they were in DotS?

Good points about the dude in armour! I sorta want to hope that the dude in the front could possibly be Cullen, but... I'm pretty sure everyone in this thread wants to hope that. 

I really hope Pride Demons get to be more badarse! They were talked up as the most powerful demon, and the boss battle with Uldred did showcase that rather well, but the other Pride Demons... not so much. And DotS made me jealous that I didn't get to fight one that big!

This is kinda interesting. In the combat mechanics thread, Allan says this when asked about how much control BW has over the GI article contents.

No offense meant here Allan, but shouldn't you guys check what will get covered by Game Informer and what footage will be released and how it will be released?


I have zero clue how something like the Game Informer exclusive works.. I do know that there are aspects of the GI article that did surprise some people (although mostly minor stuff), which leads me to believe that they have autonomy to do things how they like.

Interesting, because it suggests our dissecting every word in the article could mislead us [like it did with the implication that OGB exists no matter what].

I really want to hope the existance of a Ballroom will mean there's an actual ball! Though, at the same time, I'm not sure when it would feel appropriate to have a ball, considering it sounds like quite a lot of things will be happening...

Hmm...

And that is interesting! And makes sense... and could potentially mean their mention of Cullen was very, very off the actual mark...

Yup, yup. The stuff in the video is probably a lot more reliable.

So, I finally got a chance to watch the Gamescon video with sound, and I'm kinda wondering about that whole "agent" thing. The concept art with mohawk elf chick and qunari dude was shown when they were talking about agents, but so was the bit where Cassandra is leading a charge. Maybe "companion" and "agent" are not mutually exclusive identities? But given the fact that Iron Bull's character description says that he prefers to work alone, the and the fact that depictions of him are almost exclusively single-character shots, I'm leaning toward "agent" with him. Plus, the one time he's shown with other characters in the frame, it's in a scene where it looks as if people are reporting mission success to a superior. I'm wondering if the kneeling figure is Cassandra and not the inquisitor at all. The Seeker emblem was rather prominent in that scene, but the concept art we've seen of inquisitor armor doesn't have emblems like that.

But... BALLROOM! Will we get to dance this time?

Ahem, yeah, this is exactly what I was thinking about the Cullen ref. *sigh*

On the ballroom, DG has made several oblique references to balls, so I'm still hopeful we'll see  one, even if we don't get to dance at it or whatever. Morrigan's fancy dress makes me similarly hopeful. *fingers*crossed*

Huh really good point about Iron Bull. I've been really puzzled about him as a companion, so this would make sense. I'm really curious as to what the agents will do. I can't help but think that they're more significant than gophers or underlings, but instead potentially "important NPC"s.

On the kneeling fig... not sure I know which one you're talking about. Do you mean the bound, bald headed fig...?

No, the shot with the figure in blue/blue-lit black Seeker armor kneeling and mohawk elf chick and qunari dude in the foreground. If I were going to caption that shot, I'd put "It was a complete rout, my lady. The fortress is ours." 

Edit: I don't have the image in front of me and I've got to go do stuff in the lab for a while, so I can't link an image.
