Those were dark days! Although they lead to what may be my favourite BioWare forum memory of all: the night of the Fishquisition, when the romance mega-thread lost its collective mind and we all started posting pictures of fish that reminded us of Dragon Age characters. (Look, it made sense at the time. Sort of.)

Is Solas a shapeshifter?

If he were, I can only wonder what animal the Dread Somethingorother might favor as his alternate form... ![]()

hmm. I was wondering if it was a case of religious iconography/an honorific being taken as literal truth.
User
but if the obvious answer is correct, then color me over-analytical
thank you for your response!

It's possible, and I wouldn't rule any magic OUT for someone that skilled, but anything more would be a spoiler. ![]()
I remember those brutal final days of revealing the remaining LIs. Is it Varric, Vivienne, Blackwall, or Solas? Who's bisexual? WHO'S DRIVING THIS THING?!
Ugh, those were terrible times.
I really, really hope that for DA4, they either reveal all the romances (and which gender protagonist can romance them) at the same time, or they don't reveal them at all. The way they left everyone hanging regarding those 4 was awful.

For DA2, they were all revealed the Valentine's Day before the release of the game, IIRC. We found out the main four were bisexual on March 5th, 2011! I know because I made an excited journal post about it at the time, as we all ran around the forums yelling 'AUFGESTOCKT!!!' at each other . (It was announced in a German magazine interview, and for a few hours before the devs confirmed in English there was much debate about the exact meaning of that adjective.)
Fingers crossed they'll do something similar for DA4 - I know that the whims of the marketing department are mysterious and often cruel, but it would be really nice if we could avoid the in-fighting and bitterness this time
. It was especially mean of them to annonce love interests without telling us what gender and/or race restrictions they had - I know a lot of people who had their hearts set on romancing Cassandra with a female character.

What? "Aufgestockt"? As in "added"?
I would've never linked that to LIs ![]()
Sounds more like "adding supplies" (Vorräte aufstocken). ![]()

The translation at the time was something like 'the romance options have been expanded.' People spent a few hours arguing about it, and whether the picture of Merrill in her underwear was photoshoped or not ...
Yeah, I definitely hope this time they reveal them all in one fell swoop, or at least in short order. That way no one gets their heart set on a LI they only find out is unavailable a week before the game.
Careful, now. A great man once said: "Swooping is bad."

Ah, that makes more sense.

Ah yes, would be a pity to spoil the climactic battle where the Dread Wolf shapeshifts into a goldfish.
It didn't take too long, apparently; the earliest article I can find that contains concepts was published in August 2012:
http://gamerant.com/...-age-3-details/
Since DA2 was released in March 2011, we can conclude it took less than 18 months for DA:I concept art to start showing up.
In comparison, if we add 18 months to DA:I's release date, which was in November 2014, that brings us to this year's May.
Solas uses Splash against the Evanuris!
But nothing happened...
I really feel like this is exactly what will happen...
Your friends are back! Grunt plush, Garrus shirts, Bull's Chargers tanks are back in stock! http://sanshee.com/
