Gaider already closed the thread actually...

Yeah, I laughed. Bit of a shame as I just got started on my first bowl of popcorn. I'm always late to these things, stupid night shift.

In all honesty, there've been much worse threads, though I agree that I'm always a bit wary about starting threads based on twitter posts.  Especially in this case though, we didn't need a thread to discuss the fact that all Gaider did was say that they've decided on to have the warden and hawke or not.  The discussion as I mentioned in my previous post can certainly merit a thread, but not centered on a very clear twitter post Gaider made.  If we want to discuss twitter posts, we have a twitter thread for that.

It was an x-gaiden-x thread, though. Those are destined to be locked roughyl 39% of the time by default alone.

None anywhere we've visited so far. Doesn't rule them out long term, though.



I thought it was once mentioned that they had elephants in tervinter... ? :huh:

The Imperium draws a variety of soldiers from its territories to form an impressive army. Most noted throughout Thedas, however, is the use of elephant mounts that have been imported into Tevinter for centuries through the coastal colonies near the northwestern jungles.

if there is ever a game with elephants in it, there is almost a required easter egg of a dwarf and an elf arguing about how many kills one is worth.

I can imagine the PC riding into battle on the back of an elephants.  :whistle:

I would happily settle for any npc saying "they only count as one"

I hate the way spiders are demonised in films and games they should use ticks instead.when I was a child a spider built a web above my bed, I used to watch her to help me sleep.

You know, I completely forgot about this picture.

Wonder why there are Tevinter soldiers listed as a faction, if we don't go there? Could they be encountered in other areas of Thedas? Nevarra?

It could be the Venatori faction.

Considering tevinter slavers appered like 10 times every act of DA2, I wouldn't expect them to be rare. I like the idea of fighting all the new creatures and enemies.

Good point!

Venatori does sound Tevinter-y.

Just looked over the last few pages, and all I can say is I'm gonna be hoping for someone to come up with a spider re-texture x.x Hahaha XD

I know spiders tend to be helpful, but their appearance just makes my skin crawl and I HATE the ones in the game that drop down randomly! Never jumped so high off a chair when I've played a game before, lol.

Weren't they already confirmed as a Tevinter cult?

Don't think so, all Mark Darrah said in the PAX demo was that they were opposed to the inquisition's interests. 

They had dialogue like "He will rise again", but I don't think there was confirmation of where they were from.

Then again, it is an old picture

I think the Venatori are from Tevinter , their model in World of Thedas had the serpent symbol on their clothes which is the symbol of Tevinter.
In the artwork with the female qunari Inquisitor and the bloody prisoner , he has a serpent tatoo...
And when Matt Rhodes redesign Fenris , he had the same kind of tatoos and Matt R.wrote the art team recreated a new type of Tevinter imagery.

So everything points out at npcs coming from Tevinter.Which isn't surprising in DA:O , DAI we met Tevinter slavers.

Nice catch! 

Okay, so the Venatori are Tevinter. 

(Also a multiplayer enemy faction? :P)

Were the Venatori mentioned in World of Thedas? My copy is in another country so I can't check.
Edit: I swear I can spell.

On page 87 , there is no mention of Venatori ...but there's an artwork which look exactly like a Venatori.
