I'd be fine too, don't worry. I'm still interested by this game because of the art direction and story.
They want us to keep holding them to a high standard! After all, the only thing we knew so far is "the game will be a feast for the eye". That's a big promise, and they had the same for DA2.

____


I'm still wondering what was the goal of this trailer.
It was made for fans (I can't imagine this game will interest people not interested in DA in the first place, it's very hermetic). But one minute trailer with things we could have guessed (Varric, Morrigan, Cassandra, war all over the place, demons)? That's not a lot for fans, 10 months later.
When we asked about the "open world" part of it, they correct themselves by saying "that's not an open world like Skyrim; think more of larger and more open areas". Larger and open areas doesn't mean open world.
Open world means no linearity in world and storytelling, no invisible walls and "you can go where you're looking". I really want clarification on that, because I'm REALLY worried about that. This really looked like marketing BS to me, and that's what broke DA2 to me.

Wow, those visuals are incredible. That's a huge, huge jump in fidelity from DA2/ME3. My poor computer would likely choke and die a horrible death trying to play that...

I'm iffy on the prospect of a large open world. Won't that introduce pacing issues with the narrative? Not to mention being a huge zot dump, and for what benefit? Yeah, people seem to love these open worlds (a la Skyrim), but in my humble opinion they're just large, empty, pointless spaces. Seems like a waste of resources. I hope you guys find the right balance.

The delay to 2014 is nice. I'm sure the game will shape up to quite a suitable degree of epic-ness in that time.

I preferred Morrigan with her idiosyncratically large lower lip. :)

You might not see a scene that actually has Cassandra stabbing daggers into tables


I want her to stab several tables. Stabbing inanimate things is what she does best.


I agree.

I'd even venture to say she'd stab the monitor displaying your evaluation of disciplines she excels at, if she ever were to read it.

OT:
On a more serious side note, I do disagree with some people who say Cassandra's face looks worse than before.
I think the strong jaw & cheekbones, as well as the scar, give her something very unique and distinct, while she's still a beautiful woman. Whereas she didn't have a very memorable appearance in Dragon Age 2...

Can someone explain this one from the OP?

"* That same scene also shows a copy of Hard in Hightown II on the far left of the table. Does this confirm Cullen LI?"

Hard in Hightown was about a dirty guard, ala Lethal Weapon, not the one about the guard captain romancing the templar captain. What would this have to do with Cullen then...?


My comment about Cullen LI was meant as a joke.

There are so many topics and posts about "looks". We even had a topic about our DA:I avatar for the forums.

What happened, really?

I wonder who the figure is behind Morrigan? Blurry OGB?


Great notice, I'd completely missed that; it could be someone standing there, but I'm not really sure.

In the trailer, marketing or forums?

The trailer is bound to give as much insight into the plot as any other trailer for DA, so there isn't a lot to discuss plot-wise. There is not a lot of other info, and thus the look of the trailer will be scrutinized.

If there was some gameplay footage, I'd expect more talk about that, but discussing something nonexsistant is hard.

I have to wait for the next BW game until Fall 2014?
Go crazy, I will.

I give this trailer a 7/10.

What's the sword right between Varric shows up? It resembles me of something... I think it looks like the one Warden had in DA:O trailers.

I pretty much cried when it said at the end that we have to wait another year....longer for me since I'm in Britain. I'm hoping Fenris will be in DAI though.

The DA team is different from the ME 3 team. And as I see it, Bioware is a company which learns form the mistakes they make. As such I predict that we will not see the same ending to the DA trilogy as we did with the ME trilogy. [Unless the God Child from ME 3 actually is the Maker in
DA: Inquisition ;) ).

I still have doubts about the plot: find the agents of chaos and hunt them down. You're a member of the Inquisition. You'll need to gather an army to save the world --- or not....? Seems like the same save the world formula that I have played countless time over and over....the plot in DA2 (not executed well, I agree on that) was a nice difference from this...

I'm not impress as far as trailers are concerned. Even DA2 trailer was more interesting than this one.

Those two wrapped dead bodies were Hawke and LI. That´s why Varric were there.

I liked the trailer, and I especially liked that it was done with cutscene type things rather than being like the destiny trailer for da2, much more interesting.

Varric will be in DAI as was announced previously which I for one am very happy about.

The trailer itself looks decent but as most trailers does not say much about the story or gameplay for that matter.

The town attacked for me looks a lot like what has been presented as the capital of Orlais, Val Royeaux.

I don't think that dwarf is Varric...he's nothing like Varric except the crossbow

Maybe he's actually Sandal who have grow up, and use enchanted crossbow, his clothing is Orlesian, Sandal is serving the Empress isn't he?

The eyes when he look up, the facial expression look like Sandal want to say..."enchantment...."

I am pretty sure that was Varric.  Do you really think that anyone else would have a crossbow like Bianca.  I doubt it since she was the only repeating crossbow that was ever made.  Also Sandal would use enchantments like every time before when he faced danger.  I don't think he would even know how to use a weapon.

Look at the side by side photos (some where on this board,it moves fast) the earrings on Verric are the same and in the same ear.Plus what other beardless dwarf do you know on the surface?

That dwarf look young, and lost weight...maybe Sandal learn using crossbow from Varric...who knows? Maybe Sandal just want a style....he's a young man now...the clothing is Orlesian, i doubt varric want to wear Orlesian clothing

Actually, Qistina, it's the same clothing Varric wears in the comics.

Chris already confirmed that is Varric.
And you are smoking bad crack if you think that is Sandal.
Sandal can't even hold a weapon, much less showing any emotion.
