(this post is updated when new information is discovered by others, or myself)

So while the old forums were under maintenance, I went back to watch the game play demo for fun and a means to cope with info withdraw:
 

 
 
I started to notice a few hidden things not mentioned on the forums, or at least not looked at in great detail. I took some screen shots. I apologize for any blurriness, it was hard to get a clear picture by pausing the video. 
 
So sit back and enjoy this dissection of the Inquisition game play demo! 
 
 
Let's start out with something big to sink your teeth in shall we?
 
How about some interesting things I noticed about the good ol' Red Templars?
 
 
First off:
-some of them, or at least the archers, have hoods instead of helmets

-Also, notice that symbol on his chest? That's no Templar symbol ladies and gents! In fact, it's a symbol recovered from all the way back in the Dragon Age: Origins files:

 (labeled cross)
 
 
-This means they either decided to use this symbol at a later date, or having been planning the Red Templars from the start!
 
 
some other fun red Templar facts:

-They use red lyrum bows

-They have some sort of red lyrum shooting ability

-They still use the old templar logo for their ships

-they brought red lyrium supplies with them.

Now let's get to a few fun inquisition items I noticed:

-you have rouges at your command
tumblr_n1jhjkQcCc1sjnh4bo9_1280.png
 
 
-At first I was like "DAT ASS" then I noticed the inquisitor carries around a scroll with him/her
tumblr_n1jhjkQcCc1sjnh4bo10_100.png
 
 
-You have working servants, or soldiers who also get their hands dirty
tumblr_n1jhleECrb1sjnh4bo2_1280.png
 
 
-you also have individuals who supervise (as shown by the circled person above)
 
tumblr_n1jhleECrb1sjnh4bo1_250.png
 
 
-There is a commanding officer at your command by the name of Thamond.
tumblr_n1jhi1h6ax1sjnh4bo3_250.png
 
 
-There seems to be buildings behind the keep
tumblr_n1m7mnMrlX1sjnh4bo4_400.png
 
 
Not that we can tell all TOO much from them, I also took some screen shots of ability icons:

-varric

-Vivienne
tumblr_n1jhknKN7e1sjnh4bo3_100.png
The ability on the left is an ice wall, and the right is the FIRE BALLS OF DOOOOOOOOM. 
 
tumblr_n1jhknKN7e1sjnh4bo4_250.png
She uses the ability to the right to teleport of rush a short distance. The ability in the top center is used to weaken an enemy mage.


-Cassandra

One of these abilities is used to break open the gate to the enemy keep. 

-Inquisitor
tumblr_n1jhknKN7e1sjnh4bo6_100.png
 
 
Now let's examine the command wheel:

-Cassandra
tumblr_n1jhknKN7e1sjnh4bo7_400.png
A rock armor potion, elf root potion, and a fire resistance potion.
 
-Varric
tumblr_n1jhknKN7e1sjnh4bo8_400.png
 
-Inquisitor
tumblr_n1jhknKN7e1sjnh4bo9_400.png
The red potion on the bottom left is the Antivan Fire used to torch the Templar boats. 
 
 
-Vivienne
tumblr_n1jhi1h6ax1sjnh4bo9_400.png
 
 
 
Here's a close up look at certain enemy names:


tumblr_n1jhi1h6ax1sjnh4bo5_400.pngtumblr_n1jhi1h6ax1sjnh4bo6_500.png
 
 
The general map area the game will cover:
tumblr_n1jhknKN7e1sjnh4bo5_1280.png
 
 
The symbol on the flag near the docks is the same as the one on the flags in the trailer with the qunari (possibly iron bull).
tumblr_n1l34kTDYn1sjnh4bo2_250.pngtumblr_n1lfzlTVVy1sjnh4bo1_1280.png
 
 
This could mean that the crestwood keep was captured from qunari mercenaries. 
 
 
 
 
 
Last but not least, the cave we walk past after we salvage the crestwood keep belongs to Raiders, according to the sign outside:

(Raider symbol from DA2 files)

i have a feeling if EA had the resources of the EU behind it would still claim "resource shortages" for content being cut.

 

I mean is having the wealthiest publishing company in the entire industry not enough to get a game complete with most of its features?

 

._.

 

 

We will always want to have more in the game than will eventually make it into the game.  Always.

 

I think it was Mark Darrah that mentioned it post Baldur's Gate 2, but it was effectively show him a game with infinite budget, and he'll show you a game that never ships.

I'm getting a weird SimCity vibe from those Espionage/Commerce/Military keeps...as if we'll have tiny "demand" bars in the corner to show us how the region needs more commerce if we have one too many espionage/military keeps, etc..  I hope it's not something annoying of that nature, trying to balance for the sake of behind-the-scenes percentages.  I like the aesthetics, though.  I hope each one is visit-able after we conquer and convert it.

 

I'm not quite sure I fully understand your concern.  Can you elaborate a bit?  It seems like you're concerned that we have to have some sort of balance of the outposts?
