It was great to finally put faces to names I see on Twitter and the BSN, like Marie-Renée, Colin and Fabrice.
But that concept art at the end - is that new or old?
Yeah I think it's old, but not sure. I took a stroll around the studio and didn't see it pinned up anywhere, but we don't put everything up. You guys might be able to trawl through the art books and such to confirm. (x-posted from ME twitter thread)

“@ScottishW92: @AlixWiltonRegan What do you call a sad Qunari ? A beresaad” Extra points for @dragonage reference I would think.
So yesterday there was a sort of art workshop at my school here in Edmonton, there I went to a "concept art workshop" lead by Tom Rhodes who worked on DA:I and showed us a bunch of amazing artwork he did for the game. While I did take pictures, I asked him for permission to show them. He asked me not to post them online, which I can respect, but said I'm free to talk about it.
So get ready for a some SPOILERISH descriptions of the art I saw. Remember it's all concept so non of it is confirmed ingame unless I specify it is.
Here we go:
-First off was a early concept for blackwall that showed a "Kirkwall dept. of prisoners" sign in front of it.
-Next was a 30ft tall scorpion boss creature that was designed to battle it's only predator, dragons, and it shows with how the spikes were placed and the claws are shaped to battle them
-There was later a storyboard for encountering the creature in which the party enters a location where it lives, "The deep desert", the ground begins the rumble and it emerges out of the sands. The party battles it and hopefully wins.
-Designs for dragons were of some we see already in the game trailers, while another was that of the dragon form of a certain lady we know.
-A location of a dam blocking a dried up valley gave suggestion to being a place where an army marches upon the dam in a siege-type event.
-Another location held a giant monstrous skull stuck in a hill covered in grass and moss with a tree growing out of its head.
-A dragons lair was shown with the entrance only being accessible by lighting these pillars outside on fire.
-grappling hook gauntlets
-tons of really awesome hair styles that showed how realistically messy everyones hair would be if they did their own styles.
-3 cool maces designs. 1 was an orlesian mace with the top shaped after a double-head eagle with four wings. Another was a cool, basic dwarven mace, and the last was a awesome caged shaped mace that held a tons of birds skulls that was so cool it made its way in game.
-Art for an actual working alphabet to be used in ruins and on inscriptions
-The last and one of my favourites, was a very simple childrens rocking chair designed off a griffin.
It was said to be part of a companions storyline, as they build it throughout the game because it means a lot emotionally to the character.
If I was to speculate the companion would be blackwall, being a grey warden and having a connection to griffins in the past.
Pfft you were cute.OSNAP IT INCLUDES ME IN FRONT OF A CAMERA BEING INCREDIBLY NERVOUS
But seriously you guys are amazing at making stuff, all y'all who sent us things.
@Ferico21, you know, if I lived in Edmonton, I'm pretty sure Bioware would have a restraining order against me by now.

After this post I went on tumblr thinking it couldn't be that bad...it is in fact worse.Eekk. I just visited a tumblr site without knowing what was happening and then saw a very spoilerific art. God. I'm done. T_T

Yeah, I guess I'm just lucky to end up in all these scenarios. Funny thing is I haven't been to bioware yet. My friend has and I beg her to bring me every chance she gets.
while another was that of the dragon form of a certain lady we know.
YES. YES. YES.
Please do not discuss spoilers in this thread. Period.
Lucky for me I didn't get spoiled. Sucks for some others though.
I made a twitter account but cant for the life of me (even trying to google it) find out how exactly I send DA:I or Mr. Laidlaw a question. This is the reason I never used Twitter, the whole system is confusing and non-intuitive 
Anyone know how to do it?
Edit: Nm found out. Maker help me this Twitter thing isnt new user friendly.

Elvhen archaeology? About time!
I tweeted to Mark the following, hoping for an answer:
"Can we chat with the bad guys this time around or monologue all the way? I like the option of conversing with the big bads."
Nothing has bothered me more in the DA universe when it comes to story and dialogue - that you cant converse with Corypheus. It was one big monologue with an extremely important lore character. There was literally ZERO conversational options with him

I'm not all that conversational whens someone interrupts my nap.
Cameron Lee came in and posted about a subject of discussion I started when I asked a question (!!) aah much wow

Confirmed: Josephine has a dragon form!

Which is still adorable.
