to put pictures here, upload them first to a site like photobucket, and then copy the web adress to the picture and place it between these brackets of code:

As for the topic at hand, it seems like most of the game will take place in orlais, but I hope that we will also get to visit places like Tevinter and Par Vollen.

The unique and diverse enviroments were actually criticised by the dev team as being too different and that DA2 should look the same.
They actually said the Brecillian forest was different to the dark roads and that there was too much detail in some of the enviroments like the circle tower that had too many books etc.
That was sarcasm. I guess. Or trolling, who knows.Jasmine96 wrote...

What?! I thought that was one of the best parts of the game, how would making everything look the same be better?
Actually it was an interview with David Silverman so it probably was just marketing talk but none of the devs came out to clarify what he meant and what he said did seem to happen with everything being brown.andraip wrote...

They hired more level designers shortly after DA2 though, and DA3 will have more varied enviromments since it takes place in the more interresting parts of a big region.

I remember now that they wrote that, but that was right before the release of DA2. Hopefully they have changed their minds since then. One of my main complaints about da2 in the graphics department, was that everything looked too clean. Texture wise, but there was also a lack of trash littering the floors that one would have expected to be there.
The best looking areas in DA:O were the circle tower, the sacred ashes temple, and the castle interiors. All of which had a lot of "clutter"..
I think the main reason why they "really" removed it was to save on the polycount and make it easier to run on consoles. If you look on the faces of the genric people gathered in groups in DA2, you will notice that they all look butt-ugly with a really low polycount.

The concept art i have seen for the next thing looks very good and if they can get it like that in the next game I think it would be a improvement.
Right, good point: A change in weather sometimes would be welcome. Weather it is done by adding a real weather cycle, or if they just add in some rain during certain quest areas would be a great improvement.Jasmine96 wrote...

Agree, I felt like Kirkwall lacked alot of color. Not only that but it seemed like every building used the same design. Every lowtown interior looked like darktown, every hightown interior looked like the vicounts keep. I thought how they did the enviroment durring the denerim attack was great. I think DA2 would of benifitted by doing something like that during the last straw or make it dark and raining when you're fleeing from Lothering or something

I totally agree about DA 2 back ground graphics. After a while things just ran together and looked the same. It didn't have the different appeal of all the different graphics of DAO/Aw. I hope DA 3 has alot of different textures and areas to explore like DAO had. I agree with the saying, 'Variety is the spice of life."
