If all that is said is true, I am very excited.

And is it just me or does that look like Morrigans silhouette at 8:06 ?!

I really hope it is. Really badly.

Not DA2 related...
They didn't really say a lot but scope and consequences sound good; combat and customization is too early to tell. Companion unique looks like it is staying fully (1 or 2 unique looks seem too little and also appearance packs dlc anyone?)

[Ju13es]

From what I gathered, companion gear will be able to be changed, but it will be unique to the character, sort of how gear changes for every class in the Diablo series.

I hope it's not Morrigan. I don't even want Hawke to cross any paths with her. He is not worthy.

It is- or at least its somebody wearing her exact outfit from Origins.

The only scenario I want Morrigan interacting with Hawke is if she promptly melts his loser face off and kicks him down a well.

Thankfully (?), they showed the Morrigan concept art when they were talking about the future of DA. Cause I really don't want Morrigan anywhere near the mediocrity that is DA2. The uncovered face morph for her in the DA2 files is mortifying.

They should have wrapped up her story in a Throne of Bhaal style expack for Origins, but at this point they've dragged it out to the point that its lost any momentum it might have had, especially since I doubt BioWare will have her reappearance have any ramifications or reactivity stemming from the Warden's interactions with her or the DR.

I love Varric and Alistair . This would be worth playing.

5 minutes in and I like what I hear.

But... will they address Hawke being a reactive idiot who doesn't take advantage of the opportune moments when they present themselves, even if he would still fail to succeed at doing what he wanted to do?

[Seagloom]

I hope it is Morrigan. I do not care if the character that meets her is Hawke or not, as long as I get to finish what the Warden began in Witch Hunt. Dumb murder knife instantly killing anything it touches up until that scene.

Best part of it was when he showed the extended map. Traveling and seeing new places returns thank goodness.

Edit:  Also I don't know how they would handle Morrigan.  If Morrigan is in it, I would want my Warden too because it's his child.  Also what about people who didn't do the ritual at all?

I admit most of what they said in that panel sounds good (except some of the idiotic reasoning for keeping fixed companion looks for craptastic cosplay? Really?).  But if DA2 has taught me anything, its one thing for the devs to talk about their aspirations and something else entirely for them to translate their desires into an enjoyable RPG.

Well, if its Hawke that meets Morrigan, all Hawke will be able to do is blow spit bubbles out of his slack jawed visage as Morrigan does whatever the hell she wants.

How they handle Morrigan will show me whether they really give a damn about choice and consequences. Of course, them saying we'll never play as the Warden again is a huge strike against them following through on that, as future Morrigan related events would seemingly have maximum effect if it was the Warden who faced those him/herself, as they're the ones that either declined/accepted the DR, has a past history with Morrigan, potentially had a kid with her and potentially went off into Eluvian Land/ shanked her.

If we're playing as some new chump PC, its pretty easy to just write off most of that with a line or 2 of dialogue. Which would be incredibly cheap and unfulfilling.

Sounds like they've taken on some of the fan concerns while still sticking to their guns with regards to the general direction they want to take the game.

To this (and the image of Morrigan) I say yay!

That is probably true, but it has nothing to do with it being Hawke. Morrigan has plot armor almost as thick as Son Goku. Your example could happen to practically anyone.

I don't think Alistiar will try to make Hawke look like an idiot. Alistiar is a little like Marc in that he doesn't think he is better than anyone. I would think they would make him honest, funny and caring like Dragon Age Origin.

Have you played DA2 yet, Seagloom? EVERYONE has plot armor when dealing with Hawke

Nope. But since I am unconcerned about spoilers the ineffectual Hawke argument is familiar to me. As I lack proper context, I cannot fairly weigh in on that one way or another. However, my prior point stands: Hawke's agency, or arguable lack thereof, is irrelevant. Morrigan and Flemeth are the author's darlings of Dragon Age. I suppose we can officially throw Leliana into that category too, but since I like Leliana and Flemeth, I don't care about that in their case. W00t! Bias! Booyah!

you're right that all of this sounds great in theory, but who knows how good it will be in practice.

I'm still waiting for them to address the biggest complaint about DAII, which was what I talked about a couple posts up. Until they do, they're not completely listening to the fans. And in my slightly cynical mind the people who do complain about this are being ignored since it hasn't yet been addressed despite Mike Laidlaw admitting this was an issue.

I mean, what has been addressed seems to be what a combination of the DAII lovers and haters have complained about. But how many DAII lovers have complained about Hawke letting everyone go for the shoddy reasoning of "The Plot Demands It!"?

My cynical mind is telling me that I'm being told one thing just so I'll hand over money, and I'm secretly being laughed at. By who I don't know. Could be the monkeys, the gnomes, the voices in my head, Bioware, Bigfoot, or all of them.

I wonder if that screenshot of Merrill is just a proof of concept type deal or part of something more.

[Ju13es]

It can be presumed that Morrigan did the ritual regardless,she could have banged whats his face, (The grey warden that dies trying to kill the archdemon by riding it)

I personally think Hawke wont be in the 3rd dragon age, and will only be in it as a referance much like the Hero of Fereldan was in DA2.

And as much as I would like the Hero of Fereldan to be in the 3rd, I dont see it happening beyond being referred to in text/speech, unless Bioware wants to take a risk by giving Him/Her a helmet and potentially pissing off a lot of people by giving the Warden a voice that not everyone will like (Cant please everyone unfortunately).

It would be nice if they could some how import your Wardens face forward through the game engines, but Im assuming that could be pretty complicated.

They could always have you create A new Warden before the game starts, and doing a checklist of choices you made if the Warden was to be a playable character.

Im sure I will be happy with whatever they put out. I wasnt as happy with DA2 as I was with Origins, but I was still happy none the less.

That would not be possible unless Morrigan lied or they retcon it. Okay, so it could be possible. Still, you can ask Morrigan about this in DAO. She will explain that she requires the taint of someone relatively new to the Wardens. That leaves only the male Warden PC, Alistair, or Loghain as options. Riordan is too far gone for it to work.

My money's on the gnomes. Bigfoot is a humorless git. Have you seen those Jack Links commercials? Total ***hat. And monkeys don't laugh so much as dance around while screaming. BioWare has a gnome issue given their old site message when the servers were done. My money's on a grand gnomish scheme.

Okay, seriously now. I saw this video over a week ago and came away feeling skeptical. Mike Laidlaw suggesting they will build a game that takes place across three continents is hard to believe unless DA3 or a future entry sets an area or two in each country. Sort of like how KotOR brought us to multiple planets but we could only explore a small area of each. I'm glad they have more irons in the fire ready to surprise us with, but I'm not impressed by well presented teasers.

.

I don't think you can though.  Because if she had, no one would have died.  If someone died the ritual wasn't done.

But even if they did it anyway, it wouldn't be a smart thing to me.  They would devaluing the one of the biggest choices from the first game.
