I don't remember, what's the word about characters' models?

There will be no difference for PC. No matter if you play a mighty warrior or a pansy mage, they will have the same model (if noodle arms areincluded, I'm afraid to see how female warriors will look like).

But what about companions? Will they have the same racial body model or will they be unique?

It was briefly mentioned by Mark Darrah (I think) when they were discussing Iron Bull and his relative size to the male qunari inquisitor.  He said that Bull has his own body model, as do nearly all the companions.  He didn't specify which ones, if any, use the standard models.  

 

The arms were a little jarring, but I thought the female necks were worse - so long and slender they would collapse under the weight of a head, let alone a helmet.  I always add some thickness, even for mages, but the slider didn't go far enough with warriors.  Oh, well, nothing to do but wait and see.

This is an interesting bit of info, glad they're taking the time to give the companions unique models. Hopefully their hair and facial hair are also unique. It bothers me when my companions look similar to Recliffe Villager #6

Well, in DA 2 all female companions had unique hairstyles, and I guess so did male companions. It cracked me that Velanna had the same hairdo as Morrigan though. Did she read Witchpolitan or Fereldan Times (special edition dedicated to Heroes who stopped the Blight)?

Ok I have to ask...@Mike_Laidlaw @SherylChee had Blackwall's VA been in other DA games? He sounds so familiar & I'm going insane over it

Sheryl Chee

I'm pretty sure he hasn't.

 

 

Aw, that was just mean! Consolation prize!

Not much fo VA info. Alistair Parker ir Stannis Baratheon haven't been in any other DA games, right?

[Rinji the Bearded]

Alastair Parker has never been in a DA game, nor has Stannis's actor.

The longer the secrecy continues, the more convinced I am that Blackwall's VA is going to be super-nova hot.  Age: 40-45.  Accent:  Northern British.  I'm thinking Blackwall's look is more than a coincidence.

I found this on DAU facebook page. Damn now I just have to roll elf femquisitor! 

[MonkeynKnot]

I give the Bioware credit for keeping quiet about the VA but they are mean teases! >.<  Is it November yet?

I don't know a thing about Taro, aside that playing cards originated from them. But I found this interpretation interesting.

 

SYMBOLISM - 5/13 - Blackwall - Judgement

Judgement is one of the most powerful cards in the deck. It is related to spiritual and physical matters and is at the base of all decisions and actions one takes. It represents rebirth and awakening of the spirit.

The Judgement card is often represented by a powerful person in the sky accompanied by a mythological creature, such as a phoenix or griffon. The person (in this case, Blackwall) is entitled to cast judgement on those beneath him (the darkspawn). There are often people beneath the figure in the sky, but the fact that Blackwall is judging darkspawn and not people means that his intentions are purely to assist the innocent, there is no question of his morality. The presence of the griffon is interesting because in the DA universe, the griffon is extinct. The much more traditional creature used in the Judgement card is the phoenix, which rises from it’s own ashes. Could potentially be a nod to the griffons coming back from extinction.

Blackwall is seen in full Warden armour, riding the griffon and slaying darkspawn, he is in the role of a protector. An interesting point to make is that the ‘judgement’ referred to in the card specifically connects to the potential ‘judgement’ one may receive at the end of one’s life, according to many religions and beliefs, including the religion in Thedas. The Judgement card often appears in readings where it represents resolution of past issues and the culmination of all that has been, and all that will be.

Another aspect of the card is meditation and coming to an epiphany through reflection. It is a card of absolution, putting the past behind you and being able to confront any personal ‘demons’ in order to clear the slate for a new way of thinking, living or being. There is no bias in the card, it is like the Justice card in its passion and actions, but it is not anywhere near as careless or blind.

To summarize the card, it is about the awakening and cleansing of the spirit. It is about having a clear heart, free of sin and regret and being able to resolve, then move on with a new-found knowledge and peace.

Aaaand my money still goes on Sean Bean xD

This guy is a walking spoiler.

I would also love to hear Sumalee Montano voicing the Inquisitor. I understand that Alix Regan is popular, but her voice just doesn't fit the characters I have in mind. Too high pitched. And I cannot unhear Traynor.

Nooo... Or yes? I don't mind Blackwall having this magnificent voice, but I do mind Blackwall being... seanbeaned. 

 

Was there a video with Blackwall talking at some point? I thought there was, but now I can't find it.

Pax Demo. For example

From 6.40 you can hear Blackwall, Solas and Cole urging the Inquisitor to go to the Castle.

(Looks at Cassandra's thread title, has dirty thoughts.)

So, the one who says "Don't waste time on that, head for the castle" is Blackwall, right?

Yep, he talks first. When a follower speaks, look at their icon, it changes.

Thanks for clarification   I can't honestly guess who is his VA then. While I hear something familiar and Sean Bean-y, I don't thing that's him. I was hoping for Richard Armitage, but that was more of my fever-induced hopes. I just have this fetish for proud warriors with long dark hair and beards  ...

 

Wait, did I just say it aloud?

[Lilium]

I guess I'm kinda out of the loop. What does the title "The Resolver" refer to?

[Joe25]

I have no idea. I just keep reading it as "The Revolver". Now, I can't get Blackwall in a police uniform out my head. Oh, I have a better idea a 007 Blackwall.

His nickname is The Resolve, like Dorian's is The Redeemer and Sera is The Wildcard.

Let's hope not. Sean Bean is contractually obligated to die in all of his major roles. If he is Blackwall's VA...

I've been dancing around the same thought.  It does make sense, though, to think that.  I have a couple character concepts for Inquisitors that I've drawn from fiction, and I'll put them in and see how they work out in the game.  It's possible that the devs do stuff like that too.  That doesn't mean the details are going to be the same, since it's not the same story and it's not the same world.  I certainly hope Blackwall doesn't end up like Thorin does, or Boromir, for that matter.

[Akkos]

Lol.. I don't think that's his nickname. "The Resolve" is refered to his contribution to the Inquisition... Not who he is. 

[AresKeith]

Not all his major roles
