So, hey, uh, did anybody else notice that multiplayer character that's either Anders or someone that's wearing the same exact outfit as him during Act3? It's at around 3:20 on the IGN vid.
Good catch. If it is Anders then they changed his hair again! Otherwise, they both shop at the same store 
I'm surprised, there is much less gnashing of teeth over this announcement than I expected.
If it has no influence on SP it's already good enough for many people to calm down and accept it as a not-bad-thing
Hope not, the hiss helped me remember that those spiders were nothing more than a bunch of fantasy
Yeah

The comedy in this thread gives me life.
Yay multiplayer! It looks fun as hell. I can't wait to play it concurrently with SP to increase immersion.
Your post is comedy to me. 
I don't have a problem with multiplayer and will probably mess around with it... but to say it increases immersion. Not likely. Whether it's the offchance I play with irl friends or randoms online, the one thing they won't do is add to immersion. Other players have a funny way of making me notice them instead of the actual game.
There's teeth gnashing but it's mostly being limited to one thread.
I also think that it's because it won't have ANY effect on the SP main campaign or it's ending.
At risk of overloading the system, PAX presence & panels incl @dragonage MP and @DragonAgeKeep at the @bioware blog: http://bit.ly/1ld7UUq
Attending @Official_PAX? Here's our schedule including brand new DAI demos: http://blog.bioware....-pax-prime-2/ … We'll cover the event if you're at home!
WOKE UP AND FULL OF HYPE

I don't know why, but I'm looking forward to the Keep details than anything.
Objectively speaking, there's nothing that should interest me about it. So long as it works.

Why not? You are still role-playing as an agent of the inquisition. The presence of friends or randoms should make no real difference. This is similar to table-top RPGs really.
So yes playing as my agents will immerse me in the world even more. External factors are a non-issue.

I don't see table top RPGs as particularly immersive either. 
I mean, half of the time I'd just be drinking and bullshiting with friends, rolling dice. No one was ever getting really immersed in the story in the same way you do when reading a book or playing a game alone.
Not to say that's bad or anything. It has it's place too.

Well the assumption that people will "bullshit" while playing with you doesn't really hold ground. With friends I could see it happening, especially if you use VOIP, but with random players, people just play the game.
In ME3, while there was an occasional troll, most games were "serious" with players seeking to accomplish the goals as quickly and efficiently as possible. I felt more immersed in the game as I felt the immediate threat of destruction via my war assets (as in the characters you play).
I don't think most people will really mess around. At most, I can just disable VOIP and pretend my partners are n00bs of the inquisition. Every organization has incompetent people after all
But I see where you're coming from. It's a subjective way of thinking after all. I find myself capable of zoning out these external factors. The only thing that really ruins immersion for me is a gamebreaking bug.

No, you're right about randoms. I wouldn't b.s. with them much. I would still say my immersion factor is non-existent though. My attention in these situations is more focused on gameplay and teamwork. Not story. In WoW or Diablo, for example, I could have a fun enough time coursing through a dungeon with randoms and not talking - but often, people are in a rush to bash through everything, and not sit around and wait for you to take the environment in or listen to dialogue. There's next to no time to appreciate story in this context. I hate to put it this way, but it's very "ADD" oriented.
It can still be fun though, but in a different way.
There's teeth gnashing but it's mostly being limited to one thread.
I'd say devoting 7 out of 30 threads on this page of this forum alone to MP says that teeth gnashing isn't being confined to one thread.
I don't know why, but I'm looking forward to the Keep details than anything.

There'll be a new SP demo, a MP demo, a Keep demo, and the new inventory management app demo.*sigh*
Sorry, but I don't care for the multiplayer mode at all. I'm guessing the gameplay trailer will be showcasing MP as well... Oh well, I hope that PAX won't be focused solely on multiplayer and show off some new single player (I want to see Skyhold, but I'm also eager to check out the Keep).

Bleugh, I feel rough. Doing a heavy shift on hardly any sleep is shite... I need to perk up, got something important to be a part of later!
This may well be a busy and exciting week.

They do show some characters/classes:
A Legionnaire is a front-line fighter who soaks up attention for the party, an Archer keeps back from the fray doing steady damage, and a Keeper is a support mage. You may also see familiar classes from the Dragon Age universe, like Reaver and Arcane Warrior.

MP enemies: Demons, Venatori, or Red Templars
Guess those are the main enemies in SP too? Though I guess they'd avoid putting the more optional foes in MP to avoid weird discontinuities with the story-line?
