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.

James Cameron said something similar about making movies.

 

BG2 was an interesting case, as even BioWare didn't seem to realise how big a game they were making until quite some way into the development process.  And once they'd pieced together a playable build, Greg Zeschuk famously exclaimed "Does anyone realize how FREAKING HUGE this game is?"

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?

I think that's what they meant. Like for example, you won't be able to have many military keeps because a bar will tell you that a certain region/area(?) needs more espionage type keeps to be balanced.

Sorry for the insanely huge picture, but I just wanted to throw this out there. Is it just me, or are the Red Templars that are attacking Crestwood actually smaller versions of the behometh? They don't look like your standard Red Templars, and they seem to have red crystals growing off their backs. It looks like they're wearing Templar armor, judging by the robe-like pants they have on.

Here's a link to a higher-quality gameplay video, albeit with some parts missing: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=f8xJMWRI-cA

I think these "red crystals" might actually be the red lyrium bows that those archers have.

If that were the case, what's the point of having bows when you can shoot magical red lyrium energy at people? They don't move like people in the video, and the shapes on their backs definitel don't resemble bows.

They look similar to this behemoth type creature here:

Just rewatched the demo and you may be right about this. They look like they're suffering from a more severe stage of red lyrium consumption; they get these super cool energy powers similar to what Meredith had but it also means they're already well on their way to becoming one of these behemoths.

I agree with this. It could be a way to give the Red Templars more classes. There are the sword users, the bow users, then these pseudo-Behemoths, then the actual Behemoths.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

What if the behemoths/pseudo-behemoths are actually Red Templars possessed by demons (meaning abominations)?

They are probably at least the gameplay equivalent.

Behemont looks like some kind of red lyrium abomination
Those crystals grow from same places as abomination's bonus flesh
Plus that thin hand looks also very similiar

EDIT:But now question is if ist caused by demon or if lyrium also has its own soul that is causing it

Okay, hmm, I know everyone is at the new thread now, but...

 

(I don't know exactly when I'll stop quoting myself. No...)

 

Anyways, remember this one? I noticed something and changed my mind:

There are trees in the watery area. Since trees growing in the sea is improbable, I think this area is a marshland. The Nahashin Marshes, maybe, which was one of the new areas they showed in the new trailer.

(This one:

Sorry for posting it here, but I thought it helps to illustrate my point.)

 

Anyways, a few screenshots from the same area:

 

Notice the Stonehenge-like structures? They are very interesting!

 

 

This guy shows up for a few milliseconds when they open up the Inquisitor's inventory screen in the Digiexpo demo video. I don't know what's up with him either, but it's sort of funny (and really creepy as well)!

 

Got a link to the digiexpo demo video? I don't remember seeing this inquisitor before

[katerinafm]

Here: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=f8xJMWRI-cA

 

At around 17:34. He is just like, blink and you miss. I was super creeped out! 

 

Weird o.o. It's like it loaded another inquisitor first. The armor was different and everything!

Why would a demon want to possess a person now? They can just walk through the rip in the Veil and experience the mortal world on their own directly.

[The Elder King]

Why would demons need to possess people now? They can just walk through the rip in the Veil and experience the mortal world on their own.

They can't still experience the world as the mortals can, which is one of the things they want.

[Eagle Pusuit]

The Red Templar emblem is not unlike the emblem for Hungary's Ordo Draconum.

[TKavatar]

True but they still don't have to directly possess people. That desire demon in the Circle was perfectly happy with just feeding off the charmed templar and his feelings to experience what its like to be mortal.

[The Elder King]

That would still require attacking mortals though.

Yes but my point was that these mortals dont have to become possessed and become abominations. There are other ways demons can experience humanity now that the Veil is torn.

Of course, but I doubt that a mortal would be fine with being enthralled, sucked and (possibly) killed.
It's not like demons didn't have that choice when there were other Veil tears or demon outbreak (like in The Broken Circle). It depends on what the demon wants. They still might found possession better than enthralling people and feed off them.

Of course they're not gonna be fine with being enthralled against their will! These are demons after all.

But IMO I think enthralling someone is easier than possession because possession requires consent. Thats why the Circle mages had to be broken before they finally became abominations.
