No, Kirkwall is too far west, it looks like. That's in the middle of the sea north of Highever. Some kind of small island? Sunken ship? Sunken city? Nothing? I dunno.

When in doubt... pirate ninjas.

Please no ninjas in DA.

Also, I hope that is not the Inquisitor. Gaudy ornaments aside, I really hate when they reveal a set protagonist in marketing.

The Inquisitor hasn't had the same outfit in more than 2 pieces of concept art so there's no reason to think this one is the marketing appearance.

Well, I'm against using ANY appearance in marketting materials, personally. I realize not everyone does that (and not even DA:O did that fully), but it is a personal preference. I liked how the Inquisitor was cloaked or otherwise obscured up until this point. I wish they would continue that.

You do realize that these are concept art, not originally intended as marketing material, right? It would be kind of silly to obscure the PC in shadows in a pivotal/specific scene in game, so it would be equally silly to do it in concept art of a pivotal/specific hypothetical scene in the story. Considering there is no set protagonist for the game, Matt's approach is the best possible solution in terms of concept art execution. Almost all of the previous images where the Inquisitor was hidden was indeed marketing material, therefore not needing to be seen clearly.

I understand that. But marketing starts with concept art. I'm just not convinced it would be a terribly bad idea to have the artist's think of the Inquisitor as being an amorphess appearance, one that has no form at all to the artist, but does to the characters they are portraying.

I'm not demanding Bioware do it. I'm just expressing my own personal dislikes and desires.

If we get another dalish mage I will gauge my eyes out. So far, we've had two dalish mage companions who were both former Firsts and pariahs (granted both have vastly different personalities but still). I love Merill and Velanna but a little variety would be nice. 

And the first thing that came to mind when I saw him was, "I must keep my Inquisitor away from him...".

What if he's an arcane warrior?

It looks like Leliana is controlling us with her mind.

That's why the Inquisitor looks so conflicted. He's trying to resist her mental domination.

I know you were joking but let's see...

Dragon Age: Awakening

*Velanna

-Dalish
-Former First/Former Keeper
-Exiled
-Mage

Dragon Age II:

*Merrill

-Dalish
-Former First
-Exiled
-Mage

Dragon Age: Inquisition

*Random Good-looking Elf Companion?

-Mage
-Arcane Warrior?

*sigh* 

I think I'm just tired of having elven mages. I was disappointed twice when I couldn't learn much about the dalish through Velanna and Merrill. I felt as though I was just thrown a bone to chomp on. Kept me entertained but it wasn't exactly a meal.

Morrigan? Wynne? Anders?

There's only two choices, and you've had more humans than elves, so why aren't you tired of human mages?

This. I guess you could throw Kossith into that, but it would have to be a tal-Vashoth Kossith mage and I would wager those are mighty hard to come by. If this elf is in fact a mage and he turns out to be Dorian then what exactly would be the problem? We've never had a male elf mage or a Tevinter mage. That's 2 unique things right off the bat. And we're getting a female elven rogue so it's not like we're only left with an elf mage.

Added Christina McSherry to the list of accounts, she's the producer for Dragon Age Keep and will apparently be sharing things as it goes through development.

Lots of chatter about the Keep, Cameron Lee said it would include decisions from the DLC and DA:A.

Mike and Mark will also have more things to share at PAX, at the presentations and panels for Inquisition.

@devSin and @Filament
I mentioned elven mages because that was what I was talking about but since you two jumped the gun a bit, I'll indulge you:

I'm tired of elven mages...more specifically dalish/mage/former Firsts/exiles. The reason I'm not "tired" of circle mages is because each and every mage companion we had (with an exception of Merrill and Velanna) told us their perspective on the Circle and how it affects them. We also have, hm, a large quests detailing about mages plight in DA:O, an entire game that led to the Mage-Templar War (DAII), Asunder and now DA:I that deals with the whole Circle/Chantry issue, and despite my dislike of Anders in DAII, he did bring up interesting points about the Circle. Fenris, despite not being a mage, also comments about magic and its dangers (and he also talks about slavery in Tevinter Imperium quite a bit). In other words, something new keeps popping up that I didn't know. Having perspectives about the same topic is quite refreshing, no? 

We've had two dalish/mage/former Firsts/exiles and we hardly know anything about the dalish through them. We get bits and pieces but nothing substantional. Most of the conversations they have is more personal with Velanna beating Merrill in terms of divulging dalish information. Most of Merrills came from codex extries (dalish mages dwindling, Merrill being given to another clan, ect). 

I didn't get much perspectives out of them except that Velanna has a terrible temper, had a fight with her former Keeper and wants to find her sister while Merrill felt isolated because she wasn't good at talking with people (could've fooled me in DA:O). Merrill's quest was much more personal and the whole point was to bring a piece of history to her People but hardly anything else. The one piece of information I love from DAII was when Merrill mentioned that the reason the clan moves around was to protect the Keeper and the First from Templars (and that the dalish value magic). 

I love both Merrill and Velanna (as well as their characterization) but I felt as though they really didn't bring much to the table while the Circle companions (Wynne being somewhat pro-circle and Anders raised in the Circle but became an apostate) and Moriggan brought much more. 

So...no. I'm not exactly tired of elven mages but dalish elven mages that, thus far, left a lot to be desired in terms of providing lore (characterization and story-telling purposes aside). 

But I'm off-topic. 

EDIT:

@BasilKarlo

I explained why. Having a male elf would be different, yes, but hardly sustantional. A Tevinter magister? That truly would be unique. Let's hope he provideds interesting lore pertaining to his background.

I can only imagine a horse just staring at you while hugging/kissing your LI.

That man is not Dalish.

Doesn't look Dalish, no vallaslin.  More likely to be Dorian the magister from that survey.  I only know that my Inquisitor is taking him EVERYWHERE.
