Will we only have her during the missions or will our old friends join us?


Much like Legacy, your companions will return, and once again they will be fully voiced.

Any hint as to which companions might have the most to say? Obviously Anders, Varric and the sibling contributed the most to Legacy.

I just saw the GTTV clip on Spike...interesting elf-inizing of FD. I hope that this DLC isn't seen as an in-game advertisement for the web series, which is what FD seemed to be more excited about.

Question about the "return" of stealth gameplay - does this mean actually sneaking by foes?

Well, let's ask this: does anyone in your party have a connection to Orlais, or to the Qunari in some manner?

Then you have my money in your collective pockets already.

There were a couple of segments in Origins where you could had to disguise yourself to sneak past enemies. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here.

Fenris and Isabela are roughly equal in that respect.

Just say Felicia Day's interview with Geoff Keighley on GT.TV, mere seconds ago. Talk about excellent cross-media timing!

The fact that Felicia motion-captured the moves she used in Redemption is especially impressive.

Well.

Look like I'm starting Conando Hawke over and doing an actual run instead of a speed run.

Yus. It's a different approach than we've taken before, and it is optional (not everyone likes the sneaking). It's also fairly simple, since we're constrained by what we can do with a DLC, but it will be interesting to get feedback on it and see if people would like us to push it further, or tweak.

Please tell me that the inclusion of Felica isn't leading to the absence of the other squaddies. The return of the VA's for all the other party members was really what made Legacy the new standard for all Bioware DLC in my mind.


Ahem.

It's cool to see you guys experimenting with new concepts in DLC. And it's even cooler to see those concepts mature and develop into future games.

Must say, I approve. More variety of gameplay options is always nice, however... will those who've taken the stealth route end up with less experience and loot from the one who decides to massacre everybody?

Ooh, looks good. While part of me's bummed she'll be taking up a companion slot I'd rather reserve for the companions I already know and love, the rest of me's excited that those same companions are still fully voiced and have a part to play. And that's the most times anyone's said "companion" in a single sentence, I think. Anyway, looks really intriguing, and sadly almost a month away.

I believe they are roughly equivalent, but different. You don't sneak past the same guys you would fight; it's kind of a neat setup. But still, early stages of bringing back objective-based, and optional stealth to get some of that "rogue" feel back. Definitely have some longer-term plans.

Definitely cannot talk about them ;)
