The races came in as a result of the time extension.  For the vast bulk of the discussion regarding races, human was the only one and was so until we learned we were getting another year on the game.

 

But yeah, if we've communicated it one way and we get new news that changes that, I won't change how that is communicated until it's been officially announced.

 

I know that the other races were introduced as a result of the time extension. I'm well aware of that. And I'm not saying there was a grand conspiratorial deception perpetrated. I'm just saying that there was a period of time in which the devs knew there would be four playable races (sorry I said three, I always forget the Qunari), but continued to state there would only be humans.

 

I understand the reasoning behind it, although I still think it should have been better handled (even not stating anything at that point, would have been better than denial). Again, don't get me wrong - it's not something I'm furious or bitter about, I just found it an odd choice at the time.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if there's a point when we actually start talking about it differently.

I'm curious what other features we got because of the year time extension. Not that I expect an answer now but I hope you or someone else can tell us after the game is released what we got besides the races. Polish? Extra areas? All around more content?

 

Just another point of curiosity to make the wait for October 8th all the harder.

While the flawed and conflicting messages can appear as simply poor planning on part of Bioware's information releases, I prefer the human f***up to the sterile PR approved treatment.

It makes me sad to see that, because I think this may be hinting at taking the communication plan to the aforementioned sterile PR approved sphere.

Just a wild guess, but I think the crafting system probably got taken up a notch or two. It seems like one of those things that would be relatively easy to iterate upon without risking catastrophe to something else. I guess you could say polishing too, since I assume any time you can take a moment to clean up something in game is always welcome, but I think most polish comes in Full Alpha (Feature Complete) and Beta.

 

I'm more curious as to how much of a train wreck DA:I was before the delay. Some of the Podcasts make it sound like it was a garbled mess of limbs wildly trying to kill itself, but unable to find it's head in order to do so. That is until the project "Crested the hill" as the old proverb goes, and reached that critical point where everything started to click and it feels like there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Did you get some?

 

 

No, but only cuz I had a lot of produce already... I'm thinking about it... they're not organic... 

[dragondreamer]

Yeah, I'd heard they would be able to change clothes. I just hadn't noticed anyone in different outfits before. I guess Cassandra has and I didn't notice, though.

 

I wonder if the clothing changes will be tailored to the companion's individual style, or if they will totally change like armors have done in the past. It would be somewhat interesting to see if Vivienne reacted to being dressed in total rags, for example. lol

 

Yeah, they have their own style, but there'll be variety.

 

Vivienne's appeared in several outfits (anyone else remember when she first appeared she had masked hats?) and Varric's been shown with the bandana outfit and the openshirt (chesthair appreciation  ) outfit.  And I could've sworn in at least one of the demo vids there was a brief cutscene that showed the entire party in color coordinated Inquisition uniforms.

Cassandra in the PAX demo has two different armours than her canonic one (the one in the last trailer), and it sone shots (including the new one Felicia Day posted), she has a lighter version of her canonic one.

Again, it's not something I'm angry about. I just remember on the day of the multiple races announcement, browsing through the foum, and coming across a thread complaining about having only humans in the game. I entered the thread, honestly just expecting to read a bunch of excited elations at the announcement (I like reading excitable elations, sue me!) And I came across a post made just a few days earlier by one of the devs (I think it was David Gaider, but I could be wrong, so please don't shoot me, Mr. Gaider, if it weren't you), answering rather snarkily to those peope. Now, granted some of those people were being obnoxious, and I get the urge to give them a smackdown. But at that point I remember just narrowing my eyebrows, and thinking: "Whatever for? What did bioware have to gain from this?" shrugging, and moving onward to the excitable elation. Seriously, that was all I meant by this.

[JakeLeTDK]

Now this is, imo, just nitpicking. Thing is, like they've said many times, they can't say anything till it's confirmed and / or officially announced. The way I see it, early DA:I had only 1 playable race, and that was human. Up until the delay and multiple playable races announce, that was still official info. And if they had said otherwise earlier, that would've became leak and maybe mess up their announcement plan, or simply ruined our "OMG they confirmed 4 playable races!!" happy dance. Problem is, communication is tricky. On one hand, fans keep bugging devs for info, and devs, believe it or not, are dying to share what they know. On the other hand, any leak information might have bad consequences (eg: just look around forum. A tiny bit of info dropped and millions of guesses and ideas sprang right up. That just lead to misinformation and fans' own disappointment). So, imo, let's just quit nitpicking them. Be grateful that they are nice enough to answering / sharing info with us. There are bunch of others who just outright lied to fans, or shut them out completely. We are lucky that BioWare isn't one of those, let's not push them too much.

Gotta say, Varric wears that bandanna even better than Hawke did

Allan, would you in the near future visit the Feedback and Suggestion section please ?

Just a reminder, guys: This thread is for reporting on Twitter activity, and having BRIEF discussions about those Tweets. Let's try not to get sidetracked with long, tangental discussions. It makes it very difficult to track down information in here.

Ooooh, that's a curly sentence:

Interesting. That same article was posted here yesterday, but now it looks like they edited the damn thing. The first one still thought we were going to Nevarra.
