She sounds a bit like a stereotype of a drag queen.


Not really seeing it. She sounds like a badass that is pretty fabulous.

This guy, he was shown as an example of outfits in DA:I. Many people (including me) didn't realise at the time that he's actually a companion, the bald elf mage that was in the Discover the Dragon Age video.

I see.

Was it confirmed that's him and not some random bald NPC??? (they would look pretty same-y)

 

The clothes look more like different versions of commoner clothing and they had bald men for stand-in characters before in DA2.

If the stereotypical drag queen is sassy and fabulous then I can see that comparison. I'm close friends with a former Ms. Gay Utah and he is all things sassy, classy, fierce and fabulous indeed.

David Gaider mentioned it on here earlier today. That's why it was confusing - everyone thought it was a placeholder character, but it's actually a companion.

She sounds exactly like my best friend. Who, btw, is a girl who's very comfortable in her body. :P Also, that description may have convinced her to cosplay Viv. ^^

It depends from person to person, there are just people who are fashion junkies and would rather look good than be comfortable. Sass is an added bonus. :D

Huh, that's strange, those clothes really don't stand out like companions usually do... he's sort of an anti-Vivienne :P  Nondescript clothing, nondescript face and no hair :D

When did he say it? I must have missed it.

Probably more chance for the Bald Elf Mage, because it was shown in an official capacity that isn't a concept art twice (the latest trailer and a blog in december).

 

 

Yeah, that my guess too.

 

Also, wow Vivienne really will be a fancy smancy pants.

Finally some actual information about the character.

Oh, God, she sounds like someone I'm going to loathe with every fiber of my being.

 

That makes me sad, since I've loved Mary Kirby's characters in the past. But that description sounds just like a former coworker of mine who I wanted to throttle the life out of everyday.

 

This is gonna be interesting...

I think I'd like bald elf magey much more than Vivienne. She sounds like a spoiled princess.
I mean I already like bald elf magey more than cassandra or viv. Varric is my #1 bro so far.

From that description I don't think I'll be Viv's biggest fan, either. She is Pro-Circle, however, so we'll agree on that front.

I'm guessing Vivienne will get on my nerves every so often.

But., hey, let's wait and see, might be in for a surprise.

To Vivienne, there are no impractical clothes, only impractical people. Her magnificent attire is a sign of her station, the jewel of the high court of Orlais where wealth, power, and beauty are inextricably linked.

A thousand arrows would pierce her breast before Vivienne would don beaten steel for so base an urge as protection. If one must wear armor, then have it flatter the form. Hide it beneath fine fabrics more becoming of one’s status, for steel alone will not protect you from the barbed tongues of Orlais.

To dress for comfort or purpose is a scandal—fashion and splendor are all that matter to Vivienne. Shower yourself in gold, let only the finest silks grace your skin, and wear a king’s ransom in pearls and silver upon your feet. Leave the stained tunics and rough cloaks to the commoners and their mud farms–a proper Orlesian climbs mountains in her evening gown, standing taller at the summit in her formidable high-heeled shoes.

Finally some actual information about the character.

The first thing I thought of after reading that was this picture.

The companions who hate 'nature' are going to be with me every step, specially the rainy days. :devil:   Ones who prefer nice and clean garments will get armor that has some battle scars and smells like wet dogs. :devil:   I'm only joking, mostly.  :whistle:

 

I cannot wait for this banter between these characters.  Oh, man, "soon" feels so far away.
