These aren't twitters but San Diego Comic Con announced their schedule:http://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/1437/sdcc-dark-horse-announces-san-diego-comic-con-2013
I'm just gonna put all the dragon age related panels down here

THURSDAY, JULY 18
12:00 p.m. DRAGON AGE: THE WORLD OF THEDAS: Ben Gelinas, Nick Thornborrow

FRIDAY, JULY 19
4:00 p.m. DRAGON AGE: Claudia Black (voice actor of Morrigan), Ben Gelinas, Nick Thornborrow *Ticketed event

Yup, those are the only two.


They're seriously milking Mass Effect at these conventions. It's DA's turn to shine. I LOVE Mass Effect but come on. The first ME trilogy is over, how much longer will it remain the focus of conventions...even with a brand new DA game coming out a year from now??

I'm not expecting much of anything based on these two panels. Probably just further discussion on how they made World Of Thedas(Cus we haven't heard that before!) and maybe Claudia Black making some vague hints about her involvment in DAI. That's probably the most we're gonna get. <_<

Claudia could talk about bacon for the whole time and I'd still be a happy camper.

I have to agree, any panel that doesn't involve either Laidlaw or Darrah is unlikely to reveal any actual new information about the game.

Please keep telling us the story of the world you have created. I hope DA3 is more global, like between nations, not just limited to 1 country. It would be good to hear more about what is going on in other areas of the world (what are the Qunari up to) vs. how is the mage rebellion going in Kirkwall, vs. how grandly the Circle of Magi in Fereldan is getting along since King Alistair gave them right to rule themselves. Making the trip (by horseback cutscene or by griffon cutscene) across the border. How magic is being used to transmit information and how it can be intercepted if not careful. An Inquisitor inspecting his underlings equipment before a battle. I just wonder if DA3 will be the last one or another step to something even greater in the franchise, it is truly an amazing world, looking forward to more of the STORY ! Please continue the Codex entries and more rewards or incentives to read them.


Mage rebellion in Kirkwall? have you not finished a DA2 playthrough? the entire world is at war at the conclusion of DA2 if you havnt finished. my appologies ahead of time.

I would like to see more of what your saying about it happening on a worldwide function and not just 1 part of the world, however they still need to consider the restraints they have placed on themselves with the outcomes of the other 2 games, lest they want another ME3 debacle on their hands.

the other stuff you mention, is completely based on your choices in DA:O/A as it is entirely possible that Alistair is dead, so on so forth...

the game will be monstrously huge if they try and write in all possibe outcomes into the main story over just a little contextual conversation in a local tavern as they did in DA2.

What I am more concerned about is how they have hinted at the "Hero of Fereldan" and the "Champion of Kirkwall" both disapearring (Unless you let yourself die in DA:O) how are they intending on tying this together, I can speculate till the moon becomes home, but until Bioware reps and or the game is released, I will never know.. I would just like to know how it ties together. 

I have done several playthroughs on both games, however in DA2 the outcome is all the same, leading to a massive world war, and the Champion is missing. Which fits the video snip we have for a trailer. about the war. but whats the deal with the Hero, and Champion missing. thats all I want to know about.

that and I want at the very least a little more "sex" versus a black wall and zipping up of pants, or a 50's swimsuit for "Underwear" DA:O had much better sex sequence(s) than 2 which i find mildly disturbing, there was ALOT more swearring and alot less "Nudity"  yet both games are Rated "M" DA:O had little to no swearring and pretty good sex scenes, DA:2 has tons of swearring and little to no sex scenes.. is this a give and take thing for an M rated game or does it have something to do with the writers not wanting it?

Someone needs to record this. 

Yes, seriously, if anyone here is going to the panel with Claudia Black please try to record it for the BSN. I really wish I had the money to go to SDCC. Maybe I could've gone if I didn't live in CO.

I know this has nuthin to do w/ much of anything, but i would really like to see a DA game that is tactical squad combat and if a character goes down, if u don't heal themintime they r permanently dead. It was before mentioned that bioware would be checking out games like skyrim fro further study and whatever but personally i think they should be lookin at various other games. skyrim is good but i think lookin to games like Hunted (also by bethesda) would be a good start to making the perfect rpg. make combat less, failed thug ambush and casually walk away to something a bit moreaction. throw in cutscenes during downtime where whatever u say can and will be used against you in a court of LIs and companions and add some friggin other elements for large battle scenes like for example, be allowed to at least be given option to order what troops get posted where in the field prior to actually battle, much as in the game Kessen.And have it make a difference to have archers on the walls or in a tower during different situations. incorporate RTS elements w/o turning it into another age of empires or whatever... anyway i think i babbled long enough.

I wouldn't mind seeing some concept art at whatever place they're at next. Companion concept art would leave me giddy.

So:

Writers like to sit in the back rows....tsk, tsk.

Big fire = more undead? Omg. That could be torches, or even a small camp fire.

Incidental Aravels? *tinysquee*. Meandering, random foxes? Makes me think forest locations.

And, pumpkin loot. I could see where pumpkin loot could come in handy. Certainly better than moth eaten scarves and torn trousers...

I wonder how crafty this game is gonna be? With killable forest creatures and pumpkins and stuff. Makes me think we should be able to make something with it. Get sum pelts and food to trade or combine/upgrade?

Prolly just to sell, huh? That'd be cool, too. Bring your pelts and pumpkins to market. Make sum coin.

You into GTS or something? :P Qunari females would be noticable taller than human/elf/dwarfs.


Qunari are not a race, they are a "Religion" in all my playthroughs I have yet to see what "Race" they are... 

As to what Jenaimarre was talking about, the race is called Kossith.

A term which the devs have repeatedly told us that no one in Thedas, including the Qunari, actually use since it's an anachronism.

Where the hell did it come up then? xD

Yeah, DG has said TIME and TIME again that it's Qunari, plain and simple. Check out his tumbrl blog about it.

I don't care if it is frowned upon to use the term Kossith. I don't care if it's in game accurate. It serves as a fine distinction between Anyone can be a Qunari, or follow the Qun, and big, grey, horned dudes/ettes.

At this point, I don't have a term to use to make that distinction. So, until I do, I'm gonna use the term Kossith when referring specifically to the big, grey, horned dudes/ettes.

To each their own (and I see your rationale). It's just frusturating to see people condescedingly call others out for calling the race in question "Qunari" and act like their knowledge of lore is superior (as in the instance I responded to above) when "Qunari" is exactly what the devs call them (not Kossith).

Yeah, I hear ya. I don't see why ppl actually care what others call Qunari. For me, Kossith, is just a convenient handle for them.

And the devs definitely don't want us calling them Kossith. Lol!, but psssh for that. Or rather they say they don't really care, but they roll their eyes at it...and don't seem to understand those that do refer to them as Kossith.

Perhaps it's just my own need to label and categorize everything, but when I'm talking "Qunari", I'm not talking abt Elves or Dwarves that follow the Qun. I'm not talking abt Tal VaShoth---which can still be any other race that just left the Qun.

I Need a term. Lol! for big, grey, horned dudes/ettes. Shorthand, if you will. Cuz I mean really, who wants to type out all that crap everytime they want to specify big, grey, horned dudes'ettes.

But why anybody really cares on the BSN abt what you call a Qunari, I don't understand. But then I don't understand why anybody really cares abt what ending in ME3 another player chose.

They use the term 'kossith' in the World of Thedas, so they can really only blame themselves at this point.

But his argument makes no sense. He's saying that we shouldn't refer to them as Kossith because in Thedas no one knows that that's what the race is called. Qunari are not a race just as Christians are not a race. It's nonsensical to argue that we should only refer to the big grey race of horned people by the name of their philosophy/religion rather than by the name of their race. Elves, humans and dwarves who convert to the Qun are also Qunari.

^ No. He said you shouldn't expect anyone in Thedas to call them Kossith because no knows what the word means. If it makes you feel smart or learn-ed to call them Kossith, or if you just have a burning desire to talk about the big-horned guys and the word "Qunari" isn't exclusive enough then feel free.

He's said a few times on these forums that we shouldn't be calling them Kossith.

Probably because you can call them Qunari and avoid confusion with people less familiar with DA's minutiae.

Everyone forget what happened in White Spire ? Or about Pharamond who breaks himself from be be Tranquil ? Or that Andrastian Chantry "help" mages with rebellion ?

You can't forget that events from Kirkwall were just beginning and not so important anymore, because its after events in White Spire Templars and Seekers leave Chantry to hunt mages without anyone looking at their back.
