Why couldn't Alistar look that awesome in the game?

No, it's more like Isabela didn't stick with Hawke in David Gaider's game. 

That's how I look at these expanded-media things anyway. 

For example as far as I'm concerned?  I don't know The Illusive Man's past and I don't care to know.  Why?  I ignore the comic.  It's really easy to do.  Watch.

*sits in silence, looking somewhat focused*

See it's gone.

UGH, Those Mass Effect books and comics. We get it, Cerberus is no longer a group of well-intended extremists and are now just mustache twirling villains. Thanks for that "development."

About this comic. Good cast. But I can't even begin to understand why Varric's on this quest. Isabela? She goes wherever the fun goes.

If the dragon thing is that they're DnD dragons I'd be sad.

Edit: As in that every dragon is like Flemeth. Or something akin to her.

What about the 3 year jumps between Acts in DA2? This could've happened at some point then...

That ship has sailed. Dragons can't talk (without shapeshifting, at least) and don't do scheming as far as we know. It doesn't mean that they're just animals and nothing else, though. There's definitely something special about their blood.

It's no secret that dragons are Cthulhu in Dragon Age. Just like machines are Cthulhu in Mass Effect.

Old Gods? Insane Cults? Please Bioware, stop beating me on the head with this. It hurts.

Again, perfect for Isabela since she apparently disappeared between Act 2 and Act 3. (And Aveline got married in Orlais.) But I don't think Varric ever left Kirkwall during the game that we played. There is I think 3 years between the end of Act 3 and the Cassandra interrogation.

Actually, the only thing Lovecraftian about the Reapers is their indoctrination. The most Lovecraftian thing of those games so far is the Thorian.

Dragon Blood turns people into Reavers, but blood in this setting seems to power all kinds of things. And they're clearly intelligent (side with Korgrim and the High Dragon lets you pass and doesn't mindlessly attack Kolgrim). And Old Gods seem to be dragons.

I don't know what their secret history is. Despite being a setting for two games and multiple DLC and books... I just don't know how high fantasy they're going to go with this stuff.

Yes.

Add Zevran.

[Maconbar]

Given that the comic is explicitly not canon and it involves some characters that I like, I would potentially buy it.

[biomag]

I really wish they'd hire Brian Ching to draw their comics.

[Kidd]

Why is this exclusive to digital download? =(

As much as I care about the environment, I totally want my BioWare stories in dead tree format. I've got all the books in this form, not to mention neat boxes for my games. Did the digital versions of the ME comics really outsell the physical copies so badly this was considered good business practice? =\\

I mean I'll suck it up if that's the way it's gonna be - the market has spoken - I'll just be sad, don my emo-hipster glasses and cry myself a river that "the others" just don't understand! x)

[Yuqi]

I was hoping for a DA2 Genisis comic.
Instead of a comic, why not fix a cartain bug about an antivan.
Meh this is a pass for me, I dont like E-books or e-comics.

Zevran was about the least popular companion (sadly). Plus probably the most frequently killed. Having him be there will make even more retcon-criers shake their torches and pitchforks than Alistair being alive, not to mention all the people who got hot under the collar when saying 'yes' to an erotic massage with a happy ending actually led to that.

Not that I'm disagreeing that Zevran would make it even more awesome, mind you. I'm hoping he does make an appearance, and that marketing have simply neglected to mention him so that the anti-Zev brigade gets ninja'd again.

While my gut reaction is as always, "Why are they focusing on this extra curricular stuff and not putting it in the game so we can experience it like we should?" I like that they are continuing the story they have spent time building. They have a million game strategies and plots already written (started) throughout the codex and game story conversations and events.

If they sat down going through all of the codex one by one they could have unlimited DLC and game concepts that would fulfill the constant questions buzzing in our heads, really make the game exceptional and give us continual new content to play.

My only issue with the comics, books, mini-series is that I do not want to have to go outside of this spectacular game to find this information. I want to be included in the story. Give me the opportunity to play my existing characters, give me the opportunity to play new characters within this content (that already exists) development. Focus on putting it in the game and you will make the majority of your existing fans happy and new fans will be drawn to a game that does something no other game does currently. Which is pretty much what brought BW fame to begin with.

The choices were what made DAO great. 

Those choices had no real effect on the ending, though.

It's not as if the Warden failed to stop the Blight b/c s/he decided to pass up on the golem army, for instance.

There was alot of chocies in DAO and DAO gave a fantastic illusion but in the end, choices ment nothing since it always ended in the same outcome. Archdemon dies. Let's compare this to say TW2 which choices do have a meanning, There is so many outcomes it's not even funny.

The witcher doesnt have as much choice either. The end is always the same: Radovid is in a strong position to unite the northen kingdoms and the niflgaardian empire always invade. Chapter 2 however is amazing.

*gets his murder knife warmed up* Time to start killing my way to get an Adam Hughes drawn Dragon Age comic.

[Leonia]

Wait, a comic, written by Gaider, featuring all three of my favourite characters? HELLZ YEAH!

Been dieing to see more comics come out for this series

[Aeowyn]

I don't see the issue with Gaider using his headcanon when he writes the comic. I also don't see the issue with Alistair "leaving". If the Warden has disappeared, I doubt he'd go and stick around to wait for his lost loved one. 

In Mass Effect Retribution, Drew's Shepard spared the base. The entire book is based on the presis that Shepard spared the Collector Base. Did people complain about that?

Zevron is a good kid and Morrigan is as intelligent as she is beautiful. 

[GodWood]

This could actually fit with my canon.
But it most likely won't.

The concensus among fans seems to be that Cerberus either use the technology from the base or (if you blew it up) scraps from the base.

Zevron is a good kid and Morrigan is as intelligent as she is beautiful. 

Lol, but it's Leliana whose the Liara of Dragon Age. They resurrected her for christ's sake!

With these three characters, the levels of Snark should be pretty incredible.

This. Can't wait!

[LexXxich]

It's so non-canon, I see no reason for it's existence..

[Get Magna Carter]

it will tie in more with the games than the previous comic and probably be better.

I don't know if they intend to connect the previous comic more with the games but I would be quite happy if they forgot about it...

[Cutlass Jack]

Most of the Bioware comics (for DA and ME) have been terrible so far. But still, I'll probably give this one a shot if I see it. I'll try not to be jealous of Alistair getting to spent time with my two favorite companions.
