I noticed it initially in the PAX gameplay video, and now again in the 'War Table' shot; Vivienne's staff looks a lot like Malcom's Honor from DA2.
I wonder if it's the same staff, or if they've just re-used the model?
Probably the latter, would be interesting though.
I believe it's an image of Andraste. It might be a popular staff design in Orlais. Religious iconography + naked.
It's definitely popular with me.
I for one believe Vivienne will become empress of Orlais and single-handedly solve all problems encountered and bring peace to the world.

You would think that, Vivienne.
I sincerely doubt i'm the first to say this but..
Oh maker Vivienne is gorgeous.
Ugh, now i wanna romance her as well.
I can get behind that.
A mage in charge could be an interesting situation.

I agree, except for the 'as well' part ![]()
VIVIENNE FOR EMPRESS!

That gif is quite distracting. And very, very Vivienne.
Now, I can see Vivienne dancing with the Ladyquisitor to Single Ladies...
Nah; Vivienne appears to have taste.
I'm going to feel so underdressed around Vivienne. I will be disappointed if the Inquisitor can't get similarly fabulous garments in DA:I.
I kind of want a Sir Walter Raleigh moment, not necessarily a romance thing (but i will be crushed if she's not an LI and it is my biggest fear)-- but you're travelling along and there's a puddle and you like lay down your cloak to cover her path. I think that would be hilarious/sweet, a nice historical reference, and deeply fitting for the character.

What if your other companions start to feel underdressed next to you, though? And would Vivienne be comfortable with you closing in on her in terms of fabulousness?
Somehow, I can see this escalating.
Not sure if this has been discussed, but which voice actor would you ideally want/do you imagine for Vivienne? (I know some clips with her speaking has been shown, but that's been background stuff and might have been a placeholder.)
I wish I were more familiar with French actors since I want a French actor for her, but if Angela Bassett can do a decent French accent and wants to work on a videogame, I'd be beyond ecstatic.
Vivienne definitely didn't have a French accent in that one video where she talked.
A fair amount of people thought she sounded like Natasha Little but Gaider confirmed that it wasn't her doing the voice.
For Vivi, it isn't just damage dealing magic, it's fire. I keep picturing fire every time I see her. In any case, it makes more sense for her to "pew pew" than be a healer. It does make me wonder who her foil is going to be (i.e Wynne and Morrigan, Anders and Merrill) but that's getting off topic. I still can't believe that someone managed to make those silly fashions from Orlais look good.
Well, with a name like Madame de Fer, I'm guessing she probably has some character-unique metal magic going on.
So I was reading up on Orlais on the wiki and I just realized why Vivienne has the horns: masks in Orlais are worn for both purpose and sign of one's family by the nobility: a family associated with lions would have, yes, a lion mask. The horns on Vivienne represent a dragon, I would think, given the power she has.
