This is interesting. Looks like there will hopefully be more variety of enemies, which will be a good thing, also demons with minions? YES!


If they're demons with minions and we can actually prevent them from summoning the minions by killing them, I will be SO PROUD.

Next step, these dudes:

Are those Mage Summon Monsters because that would be cool if mages had a summon class

I want the giant horned dog-thing next to the scorpion as a pet.

I assumed it was a horned bear-thing.

I thought the silhouette had a certain jowly bulldog sort of face. But dog, bear...it doesn't matter. It's a big hulking thing that is probably all sorts of scruffy and wants to play catch with boulders.

At this point I'm expecting the archon to be riding a giant honey badger.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Archon himself is introduced as he rode on a giant scorpion, and is a spitting image of Calibos.


HONESTLY?

If they were going to come out with news that is going to be as badly received as "no racial choice for DA3" why the heck wouldn't they soften the blow with "Giant Scorpion Mounts?"

I mean... come on. I'm not saying one cancels the other out... but they ALMOST cancel each other out. And that counts for something.

This is ingenious as it's potentially more epic than dragon mounts, would spawn 100s of threads, and boost sales.(the last one's a stretch but still)

WTF is that giant, four legged beast next to the scorpions?

Odin's Raven... that thing is HUGE!


A horned manticore, perhaps?

Regardless, magisters riding scorprions?

*strokes beard thoughtfully* Yessssssss.

Fenris names the 4 legged beasts in DA2, but I can't remember what he called them.

I really hope we get a good amount of new and variety creatures to fight, it feels like 95% of non-human encounters in DA2 were spiders, undead and demons.

Mabari(which I always thought was the weirdest of the lot), Kossith, dwarves, darkspawn and the occasional elf. But yes, more enemy types are always nice.

I just hope it's a guy riding a scorpion and not a lame human/scorpion hybrid like in The Mummy 2.

That was a problem. It seemed like half the population of Kirkwall were shades and walking corpses.

Disappointment doesn't even begin to describe what i felt when they revealed Johnson's character near the climax.

Nice find. Maria delivers again as usual.

It's great to see Tevinter featuring so prominently, and as a separate group from "Humans". Mwahahahahaha.

Scholars in Thedas believe a thin Veil contributes to that.

Also... one question:

Are there rideable and equippable gorillas?! Will I get the naked and drunken Oghren riding a gorilla into battle against the Darkspawn cameo?!

There was a demand for that?

I've made the demand several times, and it has since worked its way into the hearts and minds of other posters who now want it.

Also, the latter one gave John Epler nightmares when I first requested it.

Giant scorpions? Seriously? I can see magisters using blood magic to control dumb animals but riding them? I guess it could make sense. Scorpion armor is tough. But it all sounds so silly.

So we agree then that it's conceivable that scorpions and spiders alike became gigantic without any deliberate attempt to make them that way, since thin veils come about for any number of reason and are all over the place.

This was in the Twitter thread.

All I care about is "Tevinter" on that pic. Anything Tevinter Imperium gets me excited. I'm hoping we get to visit the country and a big chunk of the game is based there. Orlais honestly seems like one of the less interesting places in Thedas to me. I'm far more interested in a place that has so much influence throughout Thedas history. I'd like an entire game devoted to them...

With our luck, the scorpion mounts will only be used by sleazy slavers, as well as the big ol' beast of burden to the right of it (see reigns dangling) - so all we'll end up doing is killing them. :(

Its looks an awful lot like something from He-Man.
