Boooooooo
Any particular reason?
Well, are we sure they'll use the Inquisitor's specs, or will they have tailored specs like in DAII? So, yeah, Cassandra might have Templar like abilities, but be independent from that tree.
From the look of it(and all I saw was a screen shot) it seemed to be an ordinary reaver tree for Iron Bull. I'm rather disappointed by this as I was hoping for unique spec's or at least unique spins on established spec's.
They cleared that up later and said DA game.
Wait, what? When and where?
Any particular reason?
I believe it was the twitter feed. I saw someone post a twitter-like quote from the devs in one of the other threads. If you like, I'll track it down, but it may take a bit because I don't remember exactly which one or which page it was.

Yes please. I run the "What We Know" thread, and would love to be able to update that with more accurate info. I can't find anything clarifying that statement...
I just highly prefer the companions have their own unique tailored spec like in DA2
Agreed.
It was on Twitter. Mike Laidlaw said "No. I was talking about DA games."

Wooo first one to post this!

loving his personality traits 
[DRAGON AGE]: What is Blackwall's life like before he meets the Inquisition?
[SHERYL CHEE]: The Blight is ten years past. The Grey Wardens' prominence is decreasing again. The Wardens are known for their vigil; they keep watch for the darkspawn, for the Blight. But Blackwall isn't interested in just watching. He is absolutely invested in the idea of the Grey Wardens of legend: those who place themselves between the people of Thedas and the oncoming Blight, acting as their shield.
[DA]: Would you say that he sees himself as a defender of the people?
[SC]: To him, that's a Grey Warden, someone who protects others, who takes a hit so someone else doesn't have to. And if that's a Grey Warden, then it's his moral imperative to act, even when there's no Blight. There's more evil in the world than just the darkspawn, and he believes it's his duty to do something about it. He lives by that old saying: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
[DA]: How does he become involved with the Inquisition?
[SC]: When the Inquisition tries to get in contact with the Grey Wardens, they find Blackwall. He's traveling on his own, a bit of a loner. But with the world spiraling out of control, Blackwall sees the Inquisition as Thedas's last hope to restore order, and he realizes that he'll probably be able to do more good with its backing than by himself.
[DA]: How would you describe Blackwall's character?
[SC]: He's a veteran. He's been through many battles, many conflicts, and he knows their price. He's aware that in wars, the people who call the shots are often safe in their fortresses. It's the soldiers who die. He's seen people with power abuse it and use it to manipulate others, and he absolutely hates that.
[[DA]: How does he view himself in the hierarchy of war?
[SC]: He's not going to put himself above the rank and file. He's not better than them. At the end of the day, after all the talk about good and protecting people, he's going to want to have a round of drinks with the rest of the troops and share stories.
[DA]: What was it like for you to write his character in Inquisition?
[SC]: I had a great deal of fun writing Blackwall. At least part of it was asking why someone might find the Grey Wardens appealing. Why choose to be part of that? A heroic sacrifice is still a sacrifice. What sort of person could decide that dying for something is better than just living?
And I would love to say more, but I won't. Ask me again in October.
[DA]: Being good and just can sometimes rub other characters the wrong way. How does Blackwall fit in with his fellow companions in Inquisition?
[SC]: There are definitely characters that Blackwall enjoys the company of more than others. While he always keeps a close watch on his conduct, he loosens up around certain people. There's also the possibility that his relationships may change over time.
My male Inquisitor is sooo gonna be his best friend (not romance), I look up to guys like these.
HA! He was written by Sheryl Chee. Just as predicted
And I really love his personality and morals
He's a veteran, though, so I even more doubt he'll be a LI
Good thing it's lunch time. I need to go be alone or something.
edit: because apparently a certain word is filtered here...
*mix a bit of Garrus's dedication to protect others, varric's friendliness with the common man and duncan's honor*
and you get
Blackwall!
*I seriously need/want fanart of human male inquisitor(with helmet) along with Blackwall, each with an arm over each other's shoulder laughing and having a good time with inquisition soldiers on the background having a merry time as well*
What? I can dream 
He shall be my Liam Neeson.

I'm praying to the Maker that he and Dorian will be our male LIs. Pls, BioWare, give us this man, the old school, beefy, righteous, heroic type. I don't want my straight femquisitor ended up with yet another pretty boy with emotional problem 
Hooray! Now we have some more insight and a writer!
AND NOW WE WAIT...

We wait on the blackWall
October is coming...
My goodness he sounds like just my type, age and Calling be damned. Which considering Thane was my favorite romance and I had a crush on an older NPC, doesn't mean much. But still, I want.
I'm only put off romancing him because I don't do doomed romances. Even so, I suspect he's going to make me cry as my Inquisitor's friend.

Did... you just romance no one in Origins? D:
I so want to see Blackwall, Cassandra and the Inquisitor sparring in front of the troops, showing them how it's done
(with varric, sera and iron bull taking bets amongst the soldiers 
)
Did... you just romance no one in Origins? D:
Zevran, Leliana and Alistair with a Cousland. All my endings were relatively happy, under the circumstances.
"I had a great deal of fun writing Blackwall." Yay, Sheryl Chee! (Happy dance.)
"And I would love to say more, but I won't. Ask me again in October."
This woman is more adamant than our Foreign Minister.
"While he always keeps a close watch on his conduct, he loosens up around certain people." I'm sure Sera is one of these people. 
"There's also the possibility that his relationships may change over time." Interesting, there will be will be dynamic in the party members' relationships?
"When the Inquisition tries to get in contact with the Grey Wardens, they find Blackwall. He's traveling on his own, a bit of a loner." This means we will not see that awesome scene from the concept art? Maybe as flashback?
Though Blackwall will not be mentioned in the "Last Flight" there must be some interesting stuff about Grey Wardens here, so we at least have this to look forward before release.
*mix a bit of Garrus's dedication to protect others, varric's friendliness with the common man and duncan's honor*
and you get
Blackwall!
In other words, Blackwall means perfection.
Why spoil the surprise?
Answer us or begone, demon
Why spoil the surprise?
Bioware do love teasing their fans, don't you ?..
