Soo creepy...

I can't say "we", but I know I want them!

I second that so, so much.

Shrieks were the only foes in DAO that actually creeped me out (in a good way).

Me wants shrieks back.

They already did bring them back, in Legacy.

There were shrieks in Legacy? Gods, my memory's failing.

Must replay.

We saw screenshots of shrieks in the tower in Legacy... I don't believe they made it into the game.

I totally didn't even notice them. I'd have definitely noticed if I'd killed some.

more shrieks please?

There were no Shrieks in Legacy. Screenshots, perhaps. But none in the actual DLC.

And it's just as well, really. They redesigned them to a point where I personally don't like them.

DAO's weren't perfect -- they needed some relatively minor tweaking -- but they were better then this thing IMO.

I would like Shrieks to return. I would also like some shrieks to be emissaries?

Welp, I kinda liked Origins darkspawn better. While on a whole I preferred art style of Two. Go figure

That makes two of us.

The DA:O darkspawn seemed a lot more intelligent and a lot more like... corrupted people, really. Or sin and evil in its physical form.

The DAII hurlocks would have made much better possessed skeletons IMO.

There are zombies in The Walking Dead that look just like DA2 Hurlocks. Wish I could remember which episode to make a screenie (bad memory, I tell you), but it was striking.

I'd like to see that, even though I absolutely hate zombies. Did they work better in the context of the show than in DAII?

In general, I'd rather kill monsters than people. And especially Shrieks.

I never want to see Shrieks, or Shades in a game again! The Shades were WAY overdone.

Sure we can! Image IPB And if I knew you in real life I would sneak up behind you and do the "SSSSSKKKKKKRAAAAAAAAWWW!" every time I saw you in public.

You'd love it, trust me. Image IPB

Shades were overdone, but we probably had less than 30 shrieks in all of DA:O and NONE in DAII. Backorder on shrieks for DAIII, please.

I can see it now, kiting a pride demon for two hours while 30 shrieks and 30 shades chase me.

Well I think the Darkspawn saw how ugly the female elves became in Dragon Age 2 and decided it was best to not capture them and turn them into Broodmothers.

Shrieks were awesome, I guess the reason they were removed from DA:2 is that you don't spend as much time fighting darkspawn in DA:2 as you do in Origins. But yeah, one of my favourite scenes from Origins is when the shrieks ambush the party camp and your entire party repels them.

They also fulfill the role of the fast attacking high damage unit for the darkspawn. That's something they need to bring back for DA:3, fighting a multitude of different types of opponent more commonly, rather than a mage + waves of basic melee fighters and archers. Have us fighting the heavy assault infrantry (Hurlocks), the cannon fodder (genlocks), the fast and stealthy flanking attacks (Shrieks), the big slow beasts (Ogres) and mages + archers all simultaneously. It made battles for more interesting when you had to think about things like that, rather than battles being simple wars of attrition against wave after wave of basic infantry.

I hate zombies too. I find most zombie movies boring (yes, even Night of the Living Dead, and I know I must burn for that or something). Walking Dead zombies work surprisingly fine, though. Mainly because they aren't considered (by the chars) as mindless monsters but as former human beings. I'm still completely gobsmacked by having gone through two seasons of zombie feast and having actually and completely enjoyed it.

Would be nice to see shrieks again so long as they are not darkspawn werewolves again.

As MichaelStuart mentioned, I'd like to see shriek emissaries. :wizard:

I may be mistaken but I believe any emissaries we saw in DA2 may have been hurlocks...

I'd also like to see them referred to as "sharlocks" now and then.

Shrieks are worse than the damn Balverines and I hated those sodding things in Fable.
