With Blackwall, honestly I think he's the least likely to be a love interest. It's not that I don't want him to be, really. I would romance him if he was one. Based on what we know, I think it's probably going to be Solas and Vivienne. Still, though, that's no reason to leave him totally unexplored in the marketing. I'm hoping they're going to be focusing on Iron Bull and Sera less soon and moving on to Solas/Blackwall/Cole. Those three haven't gotten much attention at all, but it seems like the market is pretty saturated on Iron Bull and Sera recently. 

 

I'm pretty annoyed that they've marketed Blackwall the least (along with Cole, I suppose), which leads to people being disinterested, which then results in people dismissing him completely from any possibility.

 

I think Solas has had a lot of attention though (and I don't think he's that much younger than Blackwall).

I can't tell if it's sarcasm or not. This is why we need to install cameras in the writer's pit.

Can't tell?  It's David Gaider and his minion.  Of course it's sarcasm and fun 

[Kaidan Fan]

How sad is it that that's actually my planned usual party

 

 

I like the way you think!!! (p.s. I also think it is sarcasm and just general silliness amongst friends xD It is just nice to see him being mentioned!)

 

 

Oh Project Runway how I love you

I think you and I were typing almost identical answers at the same time

I agree.  I do believe they are close in age.

The word is 'facetious.'

The "hot water bottles" and "sturdy shoes" bit.

I like hot water bottles and sturdy shoes, and have since I was a teenager. I think it suggests someone isn't frilly and tends to be more interested in simple comforts.

[Kaidan Fan]

Okay, I correct myself:  They are being facetious and not sarcastic.

Solas and Varric are both in their 40s, I don't know about Blackwall. Solas hasn't really gotten much focus, though. Cole would probably have the least if he didn't have Asunder to fall back on. Neither of them have been feature much at all in the trailers or demos. Blackwall got that feature in the little meet the heroes video with Vivienne, Sera and Blackwall. Really, though, I think Blackwall, Solas and Cole have been mostly blind spots in the marketing. I do think it's possible that they just mean to move on to them, though. They started out with Cassandra and Varric, the ones we know, and then Vivienne was the first new character to get a lot of attention. Then Sera and Iron Bull have been hugely in the spotlight recently, with Dorian creeping in on that. It makes sense that the other three would get their time soon. Hopefully?

Story of his life, no? 

 

I disagree about Solas not getting much focus. If you're talking about "official" sources, then sure. But I think the Solas' VA Twitter Q&A was more enlightening on Solas' character than Blackwall's maybe 10-second snippet in the Meet The Heroes video.

 

Ah well. I also hope we'll know more soon.

We also have 0.5 seconds of him lying dead on the ground in the latest gameplay video. Can't forget about that.

I probably missed it.

Yeah, because you blinked at the wrong time.

Weird/Silly chit-chat between devs about Blackwall lol (But is kind of discouraging):

 

David Gaider ‏@davidgaider  19m

I accidentally spat on @SherylChee. In my defense, she mentioned burgundy... which required the Kinky Boots quote.

 

Sheryl Chee ‏@SherylChee  5m

@davidgaider RED is the color of sex! Burgundy is the color of hot water bottles and the quilted thing Blackwall's got on in @sylvf1's game!

 

Sylvf ‏@Sylvf1  2m

@SherylChee @davidgaider I figure Blackwall is the kind of guy who would be baffled by the difference between red and burgundy.

 

Sheryl Chee ‏@SherylChee  3m

@davidgaider @Sylvf1 Yeah, he's totally not into danger and sex. Just hot water bottles and sturdy footwear. Leliana disapproves -100.

 

Boots and hot water this is making some good research for .

I was thinking about official Bioware releases, but Gareth David-Lloyd's Q&A was definitely a saving grace for Solas fans. Especially since we don't even know Blackwall's VA yet. I do definitely hope they'll be moving on to the lesser focused on character soon, generally. Replacing the focus on Iron Bull and Sera with Solas and Blackwall and then working in Cole to Dorian's spot would work well, for example.

This is definitely sarcasm, or at least partially. He's not into danger but joined the Grey Wardens? 

[CuriousArtemis]

Many pardons, I kinda left out one tweet from DG which might help the "danger" part make more sense lol

@SherylChee @Sylvf1 Red is the color of fear! And danger! And signs that say DO! NOT! ENTER! Blackwall is clearly averse.

So yeah, they are joking, because if red is "sex" and "danger" and Blackwall is wearing burgundy and not red, clearly he does not like sex and danger

 

Apologies to any lurking devs to making a mountain out of a molehill, but hey, such is the life of a Blackwall fan

Keep in mind that GDL's Q&A was not anything official and had nothing to do with Dragon Age. He was just nice enough to answer DAI-related questions. Solas has gotten pretty little attention in marketing. At least Blackwall got his little introduction during E3! Solas got his VA announced so I guess that kind of evens it out? And thankfully Blackwall and Cole were at least in a snippet of the gameplay video. I'm hoping that a party of Blackwall, Solas and Cole is showcased at some point, to make up for everything.

Yeah it's similar to how we got Greg Ellis to do a Q&A way back when. However, BioWare did get wind of it, and since it took place during a recording session, they sent Jessica Merizan over to moderate LOL Nevertheless, we did get the snippets about him being a LI, so anything can happen when you talk to a VA; they don't know what they're really supposed to say or not.

 

Blackwall fans haven't had that opportunity because we do not even know what his voice sounds like, let alone his VA I definitely don't think a lame blurb is comparable to an all out Twitter Q&A with the VA lol

They like their fan-tear coffee. They will do whatever they must to get it, even if it's tears of frustration.

[RynJ]

Sheryl Chee is rather secretive about her warden, it seems. His official interview had precious little information about Blackwall!

 

Maybe his VA will be announced soon? Who knows, honestly. The VA announcements haven't had a pattern that makes any sense. "Gush over Vivienne's VA, but we can't tell you right now so here's Solas's!" and then "Here's Cole's out of nowhere, enjoy!" And Iron Bull's and Sera's VAs and Bull's VA video popped out of nowhere too, if I recall.

The marketing for this game... yes... if my hair weren't already so thin and damaged I'd be yanking it out in droves by now

Don't forget Josephine's "She has a cool accent" and "a very sultry voice" but you can't know who is doing it. 

[Nocte ad Mortem]

Well, one thing you have to keep in mind is that the people dropping the hints and the ones in charge of when things get released aren't the same. 

 

But it would be nice if things were more structured. It seems like we get big info dumps and then not much for quite a while, and what comes out when is kind of off.

[MamaThyia]

I read DG's comments as sarcasm. Absolutely. He is totally into danger and sex. Not so much hot water bottles. But sensible boots are a must. And I do wonder why there is so little info on our warden. Perhaps his story is so spoilery from the get-go, that telling us more isn't really in the cards. And perhaps they are holding back on announcing a voice actor because it's someone they want to make a big deal about it closer to release. That's my head canon at the moment.

It could be. For example if Liam Neeson is his VA, I can understand them waiting until September to release that info to suddenly draw attention to the game.

This is how I picture the Blackwall romance.
