The woman in black armour is definitely Cassandra. Mike Laidlaw tweeted this picture a while a go (read the caption). They're identical.

Oh wow. So in order we've got Mystery Trident Man, Sera, two remarkably similar-looking guys who both have sparks coming out of their hands (alternate versions of Dorian, then?), Mystery Lady, Cullen, a Warden and Cassandra. That's a mighty fine looking line-up.

Add to that Iron Bull, Cole and hopefully a dwarf since we usually get one to make up the roster and I have to say I'm very excited about this!

Earthborn, thank you so much for this. I don't suppose we'd be able to get a slightly higher res image? I'm interested in Sera's concept in particular since I can't make head nor tails of her face.

I think that the Templar in the last image looks remarkably similar to Cullen.


To me he looks like an old man, but that could just be my laptop playing tricks on me.


LOL! Well he is getting a bit long in the tooth now!

I'm sure the second one down is female. Perhaps they are debating whether the character should be male or female?

IMO,

You might be on to something, although I thought these pages were for companion concepts. Maybe they are different takes on the appearance of other characters. 

I love the concepts but there are too many humans! I can only see one elf and no drawfs or Qunari... a bit worrying since there are already 8 concepts there. Perhaps the non-human characters are already decided upon, so they are trying to decide which of the other charcters should get a place.

img685.imageshack.us/img685/9417/bild2sd.jpg - human man is Orlesian Chevalier, femele elf is probably Dalish Rogue.
img189.imageshack.us/img189/30/bild4u.jpg - human female, maybe from Antiva? (skin color) Human male is Cullen ;)
img825.imageshack.us/img825/7033/bild5nn.jpg - older Warden and Cassandra.
That are my guesses anyway :lol:

If this is the lineup  (just guesses based on descriptions and pictures from survey pics):

Warriors: Tal'Vashoth (Iron Bull), Seeker (Cassandra), Grey Warden (possibly Stroud)
Rogues: Underworld Elf (Sera), Ghostly Dude (Cole)
Mages: Tevinter Mage (Dorian), ?

Then we need another mage, ideally female.

As for the pics, the mystery woman might be an assistant to Empress Celene and that trident dude is some palace guard or chevalier.

Edit: Ah, ten companions.  I guess we can add Cullen to the warriors.  And expect another rogue and mage.

"A portal between the worlds unleashes hords of demons in the land



This caught my eye.

It sounds like the Eluvian (?), then again I doubt Morrigan would take her child to a demon infested land, or that she would be working for the destruction of Thedas.

If all of this is legit, then we know for certain that ''someone'' is pulling the threads of destruction, I personally highly suspect this is Flemeth, it would make sense. 

Cullen becoming a party member makes sense, and I suppose I'll get flamed for this but, so does the ability for the PC to be working for the Chantry (The Inquisition works for the Chantry, right?) and being a Mage at the same time, there will ALWAYS be exceptions in life, and it wouldn't surprise me if there were several pro-Chantry Mage agents, so loyal that they're entrusted with their roles.

I'm so romancing Cassandra!

Also I'm wondering why Bioware doesn't seem to give a sh*t about this

I'm probably already screwed because EA will sue me to hell and back :/

Possible spoilers ahead:

When you put it out like that, it's making more sense tbh, considering the world is in brutal chaos. It would only make sense for powerful people from all different ''factions'' (if you will) to band together for a common goal.

I just hope, hope hope hope hope hope hope (x99) that the ending of DA2 actually MEANS something, and that Hawke and especially the Warden plays a major role considering they're two very influental and powerful people.

Oh btw, I'm back and I noticed I haven't even uploaded the description. Since I guess none of you speak German anyway, I'm just translating it. It's different from the one in the first survey, which is kinda interesting. Basically it's more clear and explicit. So here it comes:


"A portal between the worlds unleashes hords of demons in the land, civil wars rip apart nations and the corruption is limitless. Someone is behind the shadows, drawing the threads which destroy the world. Time has come for the Inquisition.

Take the Inquisitor's cloak and lead the only force able of bringing light into the darkness. Choose the direct method and gather your armies, send spies into the shadows or engage in a political war, make friends and use your connections indirectly: it is up to you how you lead the inquisition. But you'll have to take lead of it from the beginning. Make your player a rogue, warrior or mage and set up your crew from up to ten (!) complex companions to lead them against those who attack you by systematically spying on, revealing and destroying them."

Might sound a bit clumsy due to the translation.


Now I'm even less sure that this survey is actually about DA3.

...The whole demon invasion thing is a bit... sudden. Maybe plot will take place more than 5 years after Varric's interrogation (would explain Cassandra's grey hair)

But the part (at least that is how I understood it) about Front line Hero OR backstage Puppet master I actually like.

What did our friend from Dalish origin saw in the Eluvian?

(2:10)

and from Dragon Age wikia (Witch hunt)

In 9:33 Dragon, the same Eluvian from the Dalish Elf Origin is used in a scrying ritual to locate another, functioning one in the Dragonbone Wastes. Morrigan, who had found it first, reveals that Eluvians can also act as portals to a realm beyond the Fade. Depending on The Warden's actions, she can be followed through the Eluvian but the players are never shown what lies beyond.

I've kind of always thought that Flemeth was Dragon Age's Emperor Palpatine and that she'd  done such things as 1) teach dragon cults to drink blood 2) bring back/preserve dragons 3) orchestrate blood rituals that weaken the Fade.  But then again it might be too much to give to one person.  But it would make sense for Flemeth to be behind the "breach" given a) what Morrigan says about Flemeth's plan in Witch Hunt and B) Sandal's prophecy in DA2.

At any rate, I like the idea of the different approaches you can take.

This sounds more like a huge rapture in the Fade to me.

And a huge rapture in the Fade would make sense considering Mages and Templars are slaughtering eachother all over Thedas!

Bingo!

Yeah, in the survey's screenshots there's reference to "The Breach" as a possible subtitle.  So that'll probably be the in-game name for the Fade rupture that precedes the demonic invasion.

4 Blights each lasting for decades never raptured the Veil this much.
I think TvsM war is more a catalyst than a reason.

Doesn't Flemeth seem too obvious? She's up to something, but her being the "big bad" of the series just seems too blatant. I think in the end - whenever that may - it will come down to Flemeth vs Morrigan (and maybe even some of Flemeth's other daughters), but who's in the right will, I think, be left up to us.

Presumably the new "big bad" will have orchistrated the templar vs magi conflict and the civil war in Orlais to cause the rupture to happen. They may even be behind the Qunari invasion as well.

All hints point to Flemeth really, who probably saved Hawke so he/she could start a war between templars and magi. I don't see why she would help stop the blight though, as that would surely have caused more chaos and disruption than all of these things combined.

She does seem a bit obvious, but then it would be hard to set a villian up appropriately without making it obvious. And to be honest I would much rather have Flemeth as the antagonist that random guy x we have never heard of before and barely see at all during the game :cough:Meredith:cough:

Indeed. There must be other factors at play here as well. The possibility of the Veil being raptured has been heavily hinted at in previous games, as showed by Dave of Canada in this very thread. The current conflict might have sped things up a bit, though.

Well the crazy Sandal Theory talks about "skies cracking open" or something...and he mentions that "He will Rise and everyone will see".

I guess it's more of an eastern egg than a big revelation .

I could very well imagine that it'll be a little like ME1, where you're the only one who knows that something really really evil is coming and noone believes you. Like, you discovered this huge ass breach in the Fade and you know that demons are gonna f*ck sh*t up, but everyone is far too busy fighting each other (mages vs. templars, civil wars...) so you (and your 10 companions) have to save the day for everyone.

Also, who else would very much like to see the war elves against humans? They never liked each other too much anyway.. I'd like some city elf riots, maybe Dalish clans attacking human villages...

Maybe you're right. But one can never be completely sure with that particular dwarf.

Really, all I want is more DAO Warden & co

Edit:
Also, about Flemeth. Morrigan told the Warden during Witch Hunt that Flemeth was something much bigger than a human or an abomination. And the numerous times Flemeth has saved 'important' people (I think she saved Alistairs dad at some point, didn't she?), really points at Flemeth being the one pulling the strings.

Maybe Sandal talked about himself. That would be one big "Ta-ta-taaaa"

... Or is it the theory itself?
