Sadness to the departure of "Dramatic Hands Mustache Guy" XD
@AllanSchumacher I know right? It was such a great nickname.
Well, we still have Scribbles.
I feel happy and sad about that. ![]()
That...only lasted 10 minutes. What happened to 20 minutes? ![]()
.....Who said Dorian? What? Where? What did I miss? I swear I just stepped away for like...a couple of hours. ![]()
So which characters are still unrevealed? Blonde rogue dude and Scribbles?

We can still call him Dorian, the Dramatic hands mustache Guy.
So Dorian is in fact a Tevinter mage who is trying to pull his type back towards the light since he isn't happy with the way his country is going. xD
What was that demon called? I didn't catch all of it. A "SOMETHING terror?"

It's just a terror, subservient to Fear demons, apparently.
Nah. Nevermind. My fraps decided to **** up and go 'lol nope' with screenshots..
Oh well.
I really am starting to get annoyed by Daemon(interviewer), as he is just leaving Mike to talk, and asking very little.
I'd love to know more specifics about that one because, to be honest, I HATE the concept. But if it's not significantly different than mana usage...I guess it doesn't matter?
Well, I believe the whole point of having some spells on a different resource than mana is to greatly limit that spells use. This allows a spell like haste to have a much greater impact on the game.
Dorian! you are too awesome,
maybe is unrelated but when the inquisitor closed one of the rifts she gained Power +1, maybe you can spend that point in a unique skill tree?
SO short!
, anyway some new info, Dorian is confirmed and Redcliffe castle taken by mages, (damn you Connor!) ![]()
Wow. 13 posts about Dorian's confirmation. We sure are an excitable bunch xD Psyched to hear it though since I won't be able to watch until later!
I'm not really excited about the name Dorian just that if the rumor is right and his name is Dorian that likely means the rumors that I have heard on his back story are right to, Which is super awesome. For me.
I'm still surprised by the apparent grisly demise of Sera in the demo.
Do we have to have at least one of our companions die on this quest?
Looks like that survey from ages ago was right about pretty much everything.
Better quality demo footage, Yay!
...Kept talking over the dialogue again while staying more quiet during combat! Nay! X_X

Yes, looks like all the characters in that old survey turned out to be either companions or one of the advisers. They were all inquisition members and that survey was 100% legit.

Without wasting your mana on these buffs. Instead you can keep on using your own mana to deal actual damage instead of buffing the party. It's smart, you now have an entirely new resource for buffs so that your fun, damage-dealing spells won't be held up.
Of course, focus might not be used solely on buffs, so I might be completely wrong. I really want to hear more about this, though.
I actually liked this commentary better, they paid more attention to what was shown on-screen.

Does he even have any interest in the game? Too quiet...
Well that was a waste of time. Other than... Dorian of course!
Definitely not as much interest as the other guy but I still felt we got some nice new gubbins this time around.
Focus is definitely interesting me a lot.
