Did they specify anything about the keep and how it will let you customize your Warden and Hawke in the Frostbite 3 engine.

The Keep will not let you customize your Warden or Hawke in the Frostbite 3 engine. The Keep is a browser application that lets you fiddle with world states, not faces.


The blog says  "how did you modify your warden". I don't think we know enough yet what that is going to mean entirely yet. It may ask us general details to allow a cameo appearance of Hawke or the Warden. I am doubting it, but it is not entirely impossible.

What about scabbards and sheaths? Did you guys see any of those around? It didn't look like warrior Inquisitor had one in the video but it was hard to tell. I heard we're getting bowstrings so hopefully no more magnetic backs that weapons attach to.

The inquisitor has a sword ring, from which the two-hander hangs.

Awesome!  That's actually the 2nd best thing I've heard from this, after playable Qunari.

Darrah mentioned Tevinter in an interview with Adam Sessler, so I assume players can go there at some point.
Some of us have speculated that Dorian will be a party member, as we'll likely need someone from there as a guide.

Thanks! This makes me very happy. I will celebrate with some freshly ground coffee.

Wonderful! I couldn't quite hear what Laidlaw was saying in the video, so thanks for that confirmation.

Is it really confirmed that there will be a party companion from Asunder? I've only found one source that mentions it, and I'm a bit skeptical.

Are the keeps upgradable to only 1 tipe like military or can we chose a jack of all trades.....or can we change it if we want to a different tipe?
Is there only one keep per region?
inventory tipe....grid/ weight?
Number of members in the party-> 4/5/ pet takes a space or is summon?


The keeps have different specialties and tiers you can upgrade, I don't know if they can be jack of all trades. Wait I just asked Mike Laidlaw and he said the keeps are upgraded up a single line (like military or w/e).

Inventory was a list.  I do not recall item weight but you may be able to see it in the video/future videos.

Party size shown was 4.

I wonder what would happen if the Inquisitor missed running into the guards outside Crestwood. For example, if the Inquisitor and co. were exploring off the road or simply did not speak to the guards.

Would you cross an invisible line and a countdown timer just pops up on your screen? Would you have any idea the town was in danger unless you actually went there? Would the region be in a state where it wasn't being attacked until you actually spoke with the guards?


Asked Mike about missing the guards outside Crestwood.  "You could go on without them.  The guards are a modifier [that improve your chances] not a requirement."  Basically you could try and stop the attack on your keep with or without their help.

We were informed the town was in danger before running into the guards and the mechanism through which we'd find out was not explained

No scabbards or sheaths I saw.  Same as usual but closer to the back (less airspace inbetween).

I think the sword ring was a part of the armor and not tied to the weapon, in the sense that if the armor does not have a sword ring there won't be one. ( - pseudocognition, on shorts' computer)

One silly question that i have:

Did they openly say your mages can equip heavy armor, or you guys guessed it out of context, based on what they said on the panel?

Also, this was revealed at the crafting and customization panel correct? I wonder if we will see it on video at some point.

They openly said that.

Nerd Appropriate was recording the panels and will be posting them, I believe.  You'll be able to confirm all of this when they do so.

Thanks a lot, cheers :]

Edit: Hm, now that i think about it :P, have they mentioned if you can mix plate and robes? Like put the robe or overcoat under or on top of your armor? Or maybe if Mages in plate will look different compared to warriors in plate. For the protagonist, that is.

Was curious, that's all, don't bite :P

So regarding Crestwood..When we as the Inquisitor is faced by such choices, can we ask the opinions of your companions ?

Say when the Inquisition soldier explained to the Inquisitor that Crestwood is under attack from Red Templars, they are going to take over the keep, yadda, yadda...Yes we can choose multiple ways of resolving this but can we ask our companions for opinions on how to handle the situation in Crestwood using the dialogue wheel with an option that says ( I would like to ask for some opinions first ) and then choose...

I dont know if you can ask your companions, though they offered quite a lot of advice during EXPLORATION. "What's that thing over there?" - companion A, "It looks like a [description]" - companion B. Which is really helpful considering how vast and open the areas are. There arent blinking quest markers over interesting things you can explore, but you and your companions can spot them.

Well, here's the thing:

When you equip heavy armor on say... Vivenne, it's going to retain elements of her existing visual style - which... is in the category broadly defined as "robes."  So it may end up being a combination (effectively).  That said, they did not answer that question specifically and no examples were provided.  The question was, simply, "Can mages wear heavy armor" and the answer was "Yes."

Combined with the fact companions retain elements of their visual style, I'm making an educated (but unsubstantiated) guess.

Well, it's good enough, i'm guessing the same thing. And since customization is vast, we'll do it one way or another anyway.

Thanks again ^.^
