Mike says we'll be in charge of a castle in DA III.

Horrible image of castle.


Perfect image of castle:

From the BioWare blog on Inquistion concept art.


:o

Dragon/Griffon Stable please?



Seems to be more high-fantasy than Bioware would go for, but maybe. I mean it's less weird than some of my requests on this thread...

I don't remember them saying it was to be "our castle." Just that it was a point of interest.


I will feel incredibly trolled if I managed to misread that to that extent.


One of the guys kind of slipped a bit and said something like "it will be very important" but I really don't recall it being "ours" once unless they tweeted or said so outside of the panel.

Also, I learned that the game will take place 3 years post DA2.

Post DA2 Hawke's story, or post Varric's interrogation (Which is 3 years post Hawke's story)?

 Awakening was a testbed for this I assume, however I'd also liked more involvement and for consequences to happen if you neglect to upgrade (see Normandy in ME2) that is if the castle is intrictate to the plot and not some side mission sort of thing. But yeah, in case of invasion I'd hope your choices will actually matter like training your men, upgrading their gear, choosing people to lead the team.

Not to mention a side of side missions within the castle and you pick particular companions to go out on hunting party, or find and route out bandits. Excellent stuff.

Ha! Yeah, of they say 'oh, no... the game is going to HAVE a castle. Not that you get to own one. And, actually; the castle won't be enterable. In fact, it's just a model.'


Will we at least get to sell a broodmother for tentacle sex purposes?


I think no. We'll have to settle for a shape-shifting Morrigan transforming into a Blight Spider and mating with that. 


This is a terrible strike to Role Playing Games, across the board.

Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go

Gaider said "Three years after Dragon Age 2" and then mentioned something about Asunder and its timeline filling the gap between that and this.

Would lead me to assume its 3 yeras after you shank Anders for being a whiney babby hipster ****** and not after Varric makes sweet chatty love to Casandra.

Hopefully I can throw anyone who questions my awesomeness over the edge.


I will cry if we don't get to own a castle. Or at least be very sad.

I love there to be a mixture between BG2 strongholds and the NWN2 system. Where you can expend resources to build the castle, and can choose to deal with matters inherent with the castle. Similar to the castle in DA:Awakening, but with far more depth.

On top of that, I'd love the castle to not only be a base for my followers and I, but to be a playable area to explore similar to the castle in NWN2, rather than the frankly bland Vigil's Keep.

I'd also like my castle to ride on a giant hovering lyrium crystal. It can rest its glowing butt in that mountain like a colossal firefly golem.

On a serious note, I do think the NWN2 castle was excellent. The way there were different structures you could build to personalize the castle to your PC was great (monastery/church, mage tower/Neverwinter Nine tower). I believe there were initially plans for a thieves guild/gambling den structure too, which was cut. That could have been great too. The only real complaint I have is that the time mechanic was a little stressful and there seemed to be some bugs in terms of how many peasants you had working the farms and things like that.

Of course they shouldn't just copy NWN2, but it has some great ideas to work off of.

It would be pretty funny, though, if this ended up not even being 'our' castle.

I wonder what mountain range that castle in the concept art is located in?

Frostbacks, maybe. That's on the Western border, I think?

Wouldn't be out of the possibility as the game is going to take the players somewhere more "French" according to Laidlaw. Frostbacks are right on the easy side of Orlais.  Could make for a centralized-ish base of operations, if that is what the castle is to be.

I'd love for it to be in the Anderfels but I don't really think that'll happen this game. If I were to guess I'd assume we're going to areas "near" the waking sea.

Honestly?

I just want to be able to visit every room in my castle, for starters. Seeing that top-right map of the Hawke manor and not being able to visit any of those rooms (even your mothers) just really bugged the bejeezus out of me.

Can I make it fly.
But seriously all I really want to do is sit on a throne and look brooding.
But I can guarantee that there will be a bunch whining peasant who will come to you and excpect you to fix their problems.

I wonder how complex the castle and its features will be.

It would be cool to have soldiers and specialists you can hire and upgrade.

I.e you go in into town and hire a band of mercenary archers and swordsmen.

I'm not convinced there will be castle building but it would be cool if some of your party members were like merc bosses or the head of some rogue mages but not a whiney Anders clone and you upgrade them through upgrading their buddies somehow

I like the idea of the castle reflecting the class.

1) warrior-militaryish with Smithy and training grounds to practice with the new troops.
2) rogue-many secret passages for sneaking into the LI's room without people knowing.
3) mage-unsure.

The best we can probably hope for is in floor heating that runs on the blood and tears of heartbroken forumites who didn't have a minor wish pandered to and can now never play video games again, apparently.

Well that or Sandal enchants my castle with the souls of my dead enemies to produce heat. No need for a wood fire. My castle's going green!
