How much customization can we expect to see for our main keep?

I might steal this question and ask them on Twitter, since I'd really like to know this too! (Also, not sure if anyone is reading this thread)

From the little we know, the main base customisation is meant to be pretty good. I know Cameron Lee was quite enthusiastic about it when he was talking to some media a while ago.

I hope that the customization for the Keeps is more then a general concept with cosmetic changes i.e: A combat keep with spikes, a trade keep with merchant stalls, or a research keep with labratories.

I would like to see customization and upgrade options have differing stats, as well as making a difference during game-play. A combat oriented keep with balista would have a different impact on gameplay then one built with qunari cannons, for example.

[ElitePinecone]

I think there's a difference between customisation of ordinary "keeps" and the Inquisition's main base (which looks to be a big fortress thing that's appeared in concept art).



The normal keeps do look like having cosmetic changes (but maybe those changes depend on how advanced the Inquisition is, or something?) but there have been hints that the main Inquisition fortress has a much deeper system. If it's anything like Vigil's Keep from Awakening, there might very well be things like upgrading armaments or whatever.

Given that some of the Inquisition tasks given to Agents around Keeps have been quasi-customisation (like raising the gigantic statue in the desert), maybe the focus in those areas is more changing the environment as a whole, rather than having a lot of options for each individual Keep.

This is from yesterday, but didn't see it posted so: I am writing song lyrics tonight. Yes, you heard me. I am going all Tolkien on this ****. (David Gaider)

We are getting a song for DAI?

Looks like Skyrim and GW2 created a new trend.

Someone suggested earlier that Miracle of Sound might be doing some music, since he's done a lot of promotional/tribute "anthems" for recent games.

So if that's true, it sorta sounds like it could be a one-off music trailer/song/thing.

(Here's his one for Dragon Age 2, for example)

Or, maybe this is something else entirely 

I would doubt this. There was an interaction between Miracle of Sound and Cameron Lee few weeks ago where he asked Lee on twitter if he could write a song for DAI. He was told the music was already all accounted for.

Edit: Source

That seems rather...odd? I mean, when Gaving writes a song, he doesn't write it to be in the game, he writes it for Escapist/to put on his youtube channel or iTunes. I don't see why they wouldn't let him write a song. Especially since, as far as I know, any big game he has written a song for(ie. Skyrim or Mass Effect) usually gets a lot of attention, to both the video and the game.

Ah, we may be talking cross-purposes. I get the impression that the twitter conversation was an attempt to get permission to make a song to be featured in DAI, rather than permission for the unofficial out-of-game stuff he tends to do. I've seen him put out feelers like this to a few other game devs recently, too. Wouldn't be suprised if he makes a DAI-themed song anyway, but my point is that I can't imagine MoS will be involved with DAI in any sort of official capacity.

I suppose if Miracle of Sound makes his own tribute songs from scratch that wouldn't really need any DA writers/editors, yeah. 

So then David's tweet was talking about a song for the actual game, maybe? I thought Leliana's DAO camp ballad-thingy was pretty great (the whole LoTR vibe gave me chills, actually!), but I forget if there was anything like it in DA2. 

Orlais does seem like the perfect place for bards and chansons.

Took a look at a WIP lady Qunari PC head today. She's looking goddamn fantastic. We'll get some shots up when she's done for real.

Seriously thinking of using a mage lady Qunari as my first playthrough just because of how amazing that combination is.

The normal keeps change to what function we decide to make them have for example the espionage one will look like this.



Commerce 


Miltary Might


Though you're right that beyond changing their functions they probably won't be to be customized beyond that, but I agree that the main stronghold will be customizable and have the ability to change many thing's but the full extent isn't known though they did tak about it in the crafting and customization podcast.


Anyway the normal keeps are bullheads that allow us access to the environment and more access to that area, once we establish a keep we can use our agent's to do various thing's like open the west gate near Velun, get Dagana to cap poisons to get more coin, rebuild the colosus.

Editing 



This is from a recent article that gives more information on keeps.

Keeps form the centre of the game’s multiple, vast regions, and play a role similar to synchronisation points in Assassin’s Creed – capture one, and you’ll unlock quests. The more Inquisition agents dedicated to a keep, the more you can do. Fifty agents might rebuild a fallen colossus, for instance, boosting troop morale in the event of an invasion. Or you could send 10 agents to build a mine on top of a sulphur pit to shore up revenues.

DA2 had the love scene music, Mage Pride (I forget what scenes this was used in) and Rogue Heart, which was used in the credits, all with lyrics. I loved Rogue Heart a whole bunch, personally. Despite rumours we're getting a new main composer, I'm hoping that what the writers were tweeting about was getting DAI something sung by Aubrey Ashburn, it'd feel ever so strange to get a DA game without one.

On another note, I'm super stoked to see the lady-Qunari PC. Can't wait until we get some actual visuals to go with the teasing tweets!

I hope we get to see female Qunari outside of the Inquisitor, even if they are only background NPC's.

If they have the models there's no reason not thave female Qunari NPCs in game. I mean, the tal-voshoth can't all be men.

I hope the female Qunari doesn't look too much like the comic version, ie: looking like a gray female human with small horns & oversized breasts.

Eh? They were scantily clad, but oversized breasts? It's not like there were any Qunari ladies dragging around 36DDD's. I didn't see any Qunari boobies that were bigger than Isabela's.

By all means go ahead! I don't tweet at all so if you or anyone else could ask them for me I'd appreciate it. Also, I check in on this thread at least a couple of times every week so you don't have to worry about people not reading this thread.

EDIT: Another question I'm interested in knowing is if they've decided to allow mages to use weapons other than staffs? Previously they've said that they were thinking about it, but at the time only allowed mages to use staffs. I hope they changed their minds.

This is the first time I'll actually say this out loud but damn I wish I was working at Bioware right now! I've already decided that female qunari mage will be my first playthrough, and back when they first revealed playable qunari I went quite a bit whacko on the forums begging them to release a pic. Hopefully my dream will soon come true!

[Heimdall]

I wonder how they've decided to handle the helmet situation.

[David7204]

Ehh...I don't know about the look of those keeps.

They look kinda...Disneyish, almost. Like a cake baked to look like a castle instead of an actual castle.

But of course, it is a blurry alpha screenshot. So we'll see.
