Did anyone notice that the animation of Tallis talking about the jewel to Hawke looks a lot like the animation of Isabela when she says to Hawke: 'And I have a room in the Hanged Man, if you're looking for company later...'?

They so much look alike!! The same movements..:huh:

Do our companions get fancy duds too? If so, do they get to wear them outside of the DLC, say in... DA2 itself? :3

As for the comparisons/"similarities" to Kasumi's DLC, that's not really a negative for me... as I had fun prancing around in my LBD and punching guys in the face.


You keep hoping for companion equippable clothing/armor dont you? lol.
It's kinda cute in a naive, hoping against hope kind of way :P  In all honesty though, you know just as well as I do that it's not going to happen though.


Shhh. Don't break my hope bubble :3


Well, you know me...Always running around bursting bubbles of hope and replacing them with bubbles of gloom and doom :devil:

Oh noez! Recycling! I gonna diez! *melts* Seriously, tons of JRPGs also recycle, I don't mind that. Even Oblivion (WRPG) has some recycled elements and I don't make a fuss about it. RECYCLING IS FUN, BABIES! Let's save the planet! Woohoo!! <3

/end of obvious insanity

Will probably get severely punished for this but does this add anything to Hawke, like Legacy had to do with Hawke's line. What does this new DLC bring forth for Hawke??? Or is this an advertisement basically for Redemption?


It sounds like its more about adding to the lore than to Hawke.  I'd like to see why Hawke goes along with this though...  It works for me just because its clear Isabela wants to go steal something, and she's my Hawke's main squeeze, but I'm curious as to why other Hawkes would be interested. 

Exactly, that's what I'm curious about too.

Perhaps Tallis simply winks slyly at Hawke...and Hawke is, after all, a sucker for elves with pretty eyes (*koff* Variel....*koff* Merrill).

Apparently some Hawkes aren't the only suckers for goat-child-elves, Carver supposedly gets all flirty pants with Talis and I'm sure Isabela will be in there like a dirty shirt, as well... :P

Yes, this.  Of course, my main Hawke's motivation to do anything is "for the lulz", so I'm not worried about her.

There has to be some compelling reason besides "because Tallis asked nicely", especially if it's possible for Bethany and Carver to come with us in Acts 2 and 3.

you can always refuse doing the quest if you feel your hawke doesn't want to :P
though that kinda defeats the point of downloading it in the first place.

Too bad Talis face looks beyond horrifying. I mean hell if your going to create a racial art style make sure all of the characters use it even the special celebrity quest star.

Maybe that's what's in the box... her real elf face.

This one's just a loaner.

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


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.

do we get experience for sneaking?

Yeah, Tallis is just Felicia Day with pointy ears. But just like Miranda's face in ME2, its seems firmly stuck in the Uncanny Valley where it sort of resembles the actor but not quite.

There should be some rule that unless you're going to be Uncharted level of character models, in game character models should not be made to resemble their voice actors. That always seems the cheap way out- why not come up with some new face instead of making a creepy knock off of the actor?

Would it make much sense if DLC Tallis looked dramatically different from Redemption Tallis?

Actually, Im wondering that as well.  Sorry but Im an Xp **** lol.  If sneaking doesnt net me as much (if not more) xp than killing the enemies, then why should I bother unless I happen to be RP'ing?

There are going to be lots of questions about Mark of the Assassin. Remember that Mike Laidlaw will be answering MotA questions and other Dragon Age related questions during the live chat that takes place tomorrow.

You can keep asking them here, but Mike needs to get his beauty sleep to look passabl...er... pretty for the camera tomorrow, so more will be revealed tomorrow. Plus we'll be launching a webpage with mroe information on Mark of the Assassin once the Marketing team is awake tomorrow morning.



:)

Where i can find the live chat?? :pinched:
And when will it be? 
Please i don't want to miss this!!

Because the mission involves stealing a precious gem, I bet it has something to do with FABULOUS RICHES.

My Hawke may be the diplomatic type, but hey, that mansion in Hightown doesn't pay for itself.

No, but what Brock is trying to say is that the characters often times look too much like the actors that voice them, to the disadvantage of the graphics engine.

On another note: More Merrill and new sexy elves is something that makes me happy.

Personally, this isn't a bad thing for me.

It's easy for a person to make a video game character with their own look before they appear in any real life adaptation. But when you see a real life version of a character, chances are you may find that the voice and the look of the character do not mesh well together.

Now, they could work with Felicia to find a look that works well, but there aren't any guarantees that one can be found.

It looks like a mini-crossbow. I'm wondering if it might be built into his armor?

Also....

You're tearing me apart, Lisa!!
