(even not stating anything at that point, would have been better than denial)

 

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

As a non-Christian, I'm not too disturbed by a Christ-like trope in the game, especially as for the most part this narrative framework existed in myths far older than Christianity. What I find more disturbing is the inclusion of real-life Christian symbols, especially in "good" spells, like healing.

 

As if it's not enough hearing people use the word "Christian" as if it were synomymous with "good", or "moral".

And these seem to incorporate both the cross and the stigmata:

When I see a cross, or perhaps more accurate a plus (+) like that, I think First Aid.  It may have its legacy in Christian symbolism, but it's pretty ubiquitous and secular now IMO.

MESSAGE POPULAIRE !

Wow, Is it just me or DA:I's dragon looks quite a bit bigger than DA:O's and DA2's ?

 

Funny story - we were doing a test run in a particular level to make sure one of the quests within it was working. As we were travelling through a mountain pass, we noticed that one of our party was suddenly missing and was losing health. A LOT of health.

 

We spun the camera round but couldn't see where our party member was, or where the damage was coming from. Then we heard it - the most earth shattering scream/roar the audio department have ever created.

 

Now... anyone who's familiar with physics (or Terry Pratchett) will know that an off screen dragon is neither dead or alive - but when we finally party switched to our missing member, this one was absolutely FURIOUS.

 

To answer your question - yes. Dragons are bigger. Much bigger. They're also one of the most primal, aggressive and terrifying things you'll encounter...

 

 

 

...that we've announced, anyhow  ;)

Why you do dis...Why?......why?

I'm gonna just remain in my keep, forever, until dragons are extinct or one becomes nice to me. :mellow:  :mellow: (Good luck to that dream -_-)

 

Imagine, however, the legend of your Inquisition should you fell such a beast!

 

You'll venture out.  And it will be scary.  And you will face your fear.  And you will triumph over it.  Because you are the Inquisitor!

then it stops looking random and starts being a bit odd (I'm talking about the DA game, not real life).

 

I'm a bit curious here.

 

It throws you off in a video game if you were to see it, but if you saw it in real life it'd be a non-issue?

"Not Yet." and "Soon." - the most ancient of Bioware proverbs. 

 

I find the issue is more that whenever I blink, several months pass :S

Words of a seasoned veteran vs. a relative newcomer.  This is only my second game.  I'll be anxious at release :P

 

(there is relief too though.  It IS nice to be done!)

I suspect it depends per department/team too. I remember relief after ME2 & ME2 PS3 hit the shelves, but for ME3 I helped with post launch online support so the party was far from over at release.

Well, we think you're awesome Allan. We think you're awesome.

 

It's cool.  I understand that going into a place to help people with their game problems is where I'm going to find frustrated people.  With good reason.  It's usually people that just plopped down some money on something and now they are having problems, and that sucks.

There is probably a pattern to these reveals but I'm too forgetful to notice it. Are they doing one location a week, roughly?

 

Specifically mentioning the pattern definitely creates frustration in the times when the pattern is not upheld.  Safer to not mention any pattern, if there is one, at this point I think.

From a purely selfish point of view, I have to disagree (reading the thread now... Doohhh ho ho ho ho) :whistle:

That's the point in the interview where I would have replied 'no, we've decided to jump on the band wagon and remake the whole thing as a goat simulator.'

Unfortunately someone bleat us to it already. However, a nug simulator...

He stopped the Inquisitor from helping Leliana and said something along the lines of 'You can't do that or we are all going to die.'

 

Specifically, 'That's Felix? Maker's breath, Alexius, what have you done?'

 

Oh, you mean the second time. Yeah, that's 'You leave and we all die!'

Did they just say that the Redcliff area is bigger than all of DAO put together?

They meant DA2, right?

 

Just as note, we're talking about level size in terms of surface area when he says that.

Not that it means necessirily something, but i think the party was at level 7'in the demo. It shouldn't be end game stuff.

 

1) It's set up for a demo. They did not legitimately play through the game to get to that point in the story. Don't take the level shown to mean anything at all.

 

2) What you're seeing will very much make sense when you play the game.
