 Just gonna leave this here.
So we've got a thread for Blood mage going. Quite heatedly, I might add. What other specs are we hoping for?How should they affect the story? How should NPCs react to a PC with these specs? Go nuts!

Arcane warrior/battle mage   I've said it repeatedly. If specs are singular, I'm giving up blood magic to get this back. It would be cool if you could play a mage, but not be recognized as a mage to the casual observer if you take this spec. (i.e. Unimportant NPCs)

I loved the Force Mage spec in DA2...it felt different from anything else a mage could do.

Would like to see a possible Shapeshifting tree come back from Morrigan?

[Rawgrim]

I hope we have to learn them like we did in DA:O. More fun that way, instead of having all of them handed to me at the beginning.

[MillKill]

Since we're likely in Orlais, Bard is a good bet.

[TsaiMeLemoni]

I want them to keep the assassin specialization for rogues.

[Hatchetman77]

Arcane warrior needs to come back.  Also I think it would add more versitility if you had a mage specilization that mimiced rogue abilities, so you could turn invisible and magically open locks and chests.  That way you wouldn't always be stuck having to have a rogue in your party all the time.  I know in DA2 especially I was forced into some unfavorible party configurations to fill out all necessary roles.

i would say yes and no to this.  i didn't like that in DA2 they handed certain specilization to us that had very heavy implications in the lore (bloodmage, rever), or were at least very rare, coveted skills that were hard to find training for (templar, asasin) and no one never explained how that came to pass.

BUT...

i don't want to have to grind my teath, save a thousand games, and resort to spoiler-heavy meta-gaming on my first playthrough just to figure out how to unlock a specilization either.  that drove me CRAZY in DAO.

what i'd LIKE to see is something along the lines of having a training quest initiate when we decide to pick our specialization, and we can't actually use any skills/spells from it until we've finished that quest.

of course, that's just whimsy on my part b/c it's been sounding like they already have a plan.  (one i'm DYING to find out more about!)

Could have them available in books at magic shops, I guess. Some of them were in stores in DA:O, no? But they cost an arm and a leg.

[DeathScepter]

Assassin and Shadow are a Must for Rogues

Berserkers Reavers and Templars for Warriors.

All of the Mage specialization from the past games are a must.

[Quicksilver26]

Arcane warrior/battle mage seam awesome cause i wanna have my cake and eat it too!

yeah, but that felt almost as cheap as having no explanation for them at all.

[Arthur Cousland]

Hopefully if the game is in Orlais then Bard returns, as I'd like to see some insight to "the game" and how Leliana, Marjolaine and etc. went about their business back in the day.

Shadow was my favorite rogue spec in DA2. Decoy is awesome, as well as the other aggro-shedding tools.

Templar is very likely for warriors. If reaver doesn't return for the player, hopefully there is a reaver companion who acts the part and likes taking damage, like Nyree in DA: Redemption.

The mage specs in DA2 were all good. Spirit Healer for healing, Blood Mage for offense, Force Mage for crowd control, etc. Some kind of Arcane Warrior/Battlemage mix would also be nice.

I'd also like to see the return of being taught specializations rather than have them given to the player automatically.  It would help to get a feel for the spec and learn a bit of lore about it, while doing a quest and/or having a npc teach my character the ins and outs of the spec.

True. Still...they are adding backgrounds for the player character in DA3. What if one of those unlocks a speciality? One that fits with the background of the character?

[Scarlet Rabbi]

Reaver is bad-ass. A blood-thristy tank with sword and shield, lashing out and gnashing on the nearest foe...how can you beat that? Reaver must come back.

that's got potential for making the background story interesting, but given that our backgrounds will be unplayable, it's kind of the same issue.  (click icon, and i'm a blood mage/reaver/templar/etc.)

[goofyomnivore]

I'd like a revamped Shapeshifter specialization. Bard returning for rogues would be nice to. I don't have much input for warriors since I hardly play that class.

[animedreamer]

 if the whole specialization thing returns. (im kind of hoping it doesn't, and you basically customize the character by unlocking skills/powers/spells based on what you\\ve been using thus far.) but if we absolutely most go the prestige class route, then..

1.) Shapeshifter (I want Dragon Shape)
2.) Berserker
3.) Reaver renamed Blood Knight (less use of my own blood more usage of the enemies blood.)
4.) Monk/Pugilist: a warrior spec that grants increased damage and new animations for fighing unarmed, and or unarmored.
5.) Shadow Caster, a Thief / Magic specialization found for the mage hero.
6.) Ranger: a return of this under appreciated class with two or more branches to follow the Archer path, the Animal Lord Path, and the Druid Path where you gain some limited power of nature like abilities, this would be a thief spec.

[Patchwork]

I'd like Champion to make a return or Chevalier as it's Orlais.
Rogue- ranger but specialising in one animal which you buy then train, bard and assassin.
Mage is difficult, there's so many I want. shapeshifter, force mage, keeper, battlemage, spirit healer, blood mage and so on. Basically I want them all.

[Auintus]

I believe Gaider said that specializations would probably be more special "not only in terms of how you get them, but what happens after you have them." So anyone who, like me, is hoping for a more complex route of unlocking a specialization, I think we're good.
Tragically, this was a more speculative panel and nothing stated there was official, but I'm still hoping.

I was thinking maybe shapeshifter/keeper as one spec. Also champion/guardian for a very party-based spec.
Joining a Reaver cult or an assassin's guild as part of those specs would be very interesting, especially if it affected the main storyline somehow.

[Swagger7]

Melee mage. That's the only specialization I care about

[Sandy]

I really want Templar, Guardian and Champion for warrior, Bard, Assassin and Duelist for rogue and Blood Mage and Spirit Healer for the mage... Anything else I don't really care about. Especially Arcane warrior... I just thought that was a pandering to players that "want to be everything" and have no drawbacks. If you play as a mage you should not wear heavy armor and you should use a staff, at least that's my view of Thedas Mages. I find it better to niche classes than to blend them together. If you want some more battle-aspects I could go as far as Battemage, but they should still be regular mages without heavy armor and non-mage weapons.

Also... Reaver, never really cared for that so that can go as far as I am concerned.

Berserker, Ranger, Shapeshifter, Shadow... don't really care, can stay or go, whatever really. Same thing for Keeper, Legionnaire Scout, Force Mage, Spirit Warrior

[Wulfram]

The problem I have with making specialisations more part of the story is, what if none of the specialisations really fit?

IE my warrior:
Like mages fine, so Templar is out.
Is disciplined and controlled, not crazy and aggressive, so Berserker is out.
Isn't in to the weird blood magicy Reaver stuff.

So is my character just not going to be able to get a specialisation?
