Yay for new thread, and excuse me while I try to contain my excitement! *flails, gasps, faints*
Fade tear bridge from concept art:


the flags at this keep have symbols on them:

this is probably the nashshin marshes in orlais:

this adorable little fox creature

I've saved the biggest one for last:
the male elf mage: COMPANION CONFIRMED
Yay, the fade bridge!!!! I hope the final version of the area has as much "mood" as the concept art! What I really like is that Frostbite 3 finally allows for the concept arts to be directly translated into the final game. It makes me so happy for the artists, as that was something they had complained about in the past two games.


I'm pretty sure the symbol on those flags is the Templar insignia. What's interesting is that it's the skyward version from DAO, rather than the upside-down version from DA2. Considering the Fereldan statues, maybe the insignia is different for Templars of each nation? Or is it a retcon again?
The area that you say is Nahashin Marshes is IMO the prettiest area they've shown yet!!! New engine so goooood!
That lil' creature looks like a cross between a chihuahua, a raccoon and a fox!
Bald Mage confirmed, finally!!! I wonder if they'll reveal Bald Mage, Blonde Elf and Grey Warden sometime soon. Probably not, but still!
(Edit: I managed to look away from Bald Elf long enough to notice that Cassandra has a really silly out-of-character running animation (which looks the same as Vivienne's running animation from demo). Hope it doesn't stay, because I'll be very disappointed otherwise. The upside, however is that she has her sword sheathed and buckled against her hip now, rather than her back!!!!!)
The banners is the "Red Templar base" are reminiscent of the crest of Tevinter found in World of Thedas. Maybe the Red Templars take the war directly to the Imperium (the center of magocracy), given that the Red Lyrium used by Meredith strengthened her conviction that magic is a cancer and must be purified.
Mike Laidlaw confirmed a while ago that we won't be going to Tevinter in DA:I, but that they do have a big role in the game.
And then the new enemies, and there is a mention of Giants (eating bears) on the Blog post.

So this big ugly, is he a Giant?
The visual design of that... thing... isn't very impressive. Hope at least its gameplay is good.
I'll try and take some high quality screenshots for you guys after I've rewatched the vid for a few hours!
