Mike: customization is going to be bigger than Dragon age origins. Follower customization etc. #DA3


YAY!!! :DDDDDDDDD


Yea, that has me excited. I'm hoping this means we'll get a lot of visualization customization for our companions/PC. Iconic looks and every piece looking unique.

I wonder if this is why they decided to scrap race selection? More visualization customization. Would make sense. Just having a human and dwarf selection would double their workload on modeling the weapons/armor for those two PC characters...

I'm actually hoping the Warden is putting together an Illuminati-esque group with Hawke and some other powerful figures. :ph34r:


Or they are just going to go "suck it Thedas, I'm tired of helping" and open a tavern in Antiva with Isabela and Varric.

Hawke needs her trusty dwarf. Even more than her demon possessed boyfriend :devil:

I'm guessing story and/or animation reasons.

I'd imagine you will be able to pick different races in MP.

Also, another silver lining, perhaps it will be possible to mod a efl/dwarf as your PC. We'll just have to wait and see. Not all is lost on that front yet. :D

Haha Mike "here's a castle... And you *cough*... may or may not take control of it"



Ohh swamp covered ruins. That area rocks by the way!


Oh, okay, so we are taking the castle. He was being coy. I get it. *derp* I wonder where that is...

Not the best shot obviously but they are going to post the concept art online later (today?).

I didn't mean to sound ungrateful. Because I am grateful you guys took the time to let us in on it. I'm just being obsessive.

Bah!

Yeah I can't even believe how much this blows. My interest in the game just plummeted :(

Yeah, this is definitely the first big letdown I've heard for DA3.

Indeed. This is one of the things I was hoping they would fix in the next game. Being forced to play another boring human. Yay. :(


I guess I won't be buying DA3...  It didn't hurt to stump for it, and I think many more people than Bioware expected supported the idea :)  Races for DA4, then :)  It sounds as though the origins will be non-playable Mass Effect style...hopefully that will provide a sense of variety and significant difference for everyone, as well as replayability.  I do like the possibility for different kinds of mages, at least.

And I like the idea that my city elf Warden might appear again very much :)

Human-only PC won't be a dealbreaker for me, but still... it's pretty disheartening.

I'm also really looking forward to seeing my (Dalish) Warden again, though I know some people are worried how their Warden-as-an-NPC might be portrayed. I'm feeling some (misplaced?) confidence it'll be worth it. :D

I'm actually hoping the Warden is putting together an Illuminati-esque group with Hawke and some other powerful figures. :ph34r:


Yes, it certainly is a disappointment, Hrungr...but who knows, maybe next time the story will work to bring it back again? :D

I'd love to see my Warden again so much, too!   It sounds like they must have plans for how to implement them as an NPC in a workable way, and I'm hoping it will turn out great for us.  ^_^

I like that idea about our previous PCs...something seems to be going on behind the scenes and I look forward to learning what it is!

And thank you for the information, Hrungr!

You're welcome!

Hopefully they'll get the video up from the panel in the next day or so, see if anything else can be gleaned from it....

Well, this bites. I've been looking for information since March and I find out on my birthday that race options won't be available for my favorite franchise. Again. Thanks BioWare, this was a great present.

It's fine to be disappointed, but do you realise how expensive race selection would be?

It instantly triples the voice acting budget of what is already the most expensive character in the game, and conversation cutscenes would all need adjusting for things like lighting and camera angles. They'd need to do most of them twice to account for dwarves/elves being shorter, and that's even before we get to animations.

It's a *lot* of extra work for a small minority of people who eben used the other races in DAO. Gaider said their telemetry shows the vast majority of players went with the human noble anyway.

Probably because some of us got to marry Alistair and live happily ever after :whistle:

Why does everyone just assume different races would require different voice actors? It's not like elves and dwarves have cartoonish voices or anything. Fenris' voice could have easily been Hawke's voice so I'm not seeing the problem with one voice for all 3 races.
