It could, but it would also seem weird to have Hawke's CC pop up right after the Inquisitor's, new players wouldn't know who this character is that they are making.

True... It's really all about the timing. do it too early and it'll be awkward, but do it right when Hawke shows up is just about as bad...

I like her theory, but where would the Inquisitor go during that time I wonder... if her theory turns out to be true.

 

Trix has to take one team on a Basilisk War Golem to the palace to rescue the queen, while Hawke takes the second team to explore a Blood Mage Temple in the jungle.

Make a 'do you want to customise Hawke?' a Keep choice would be a simple fix.

Are these Basilisk War Golems precursors to the Mandalorian Basilisk War Droids that are used for dropping from atmosphere to a target location? OoO A full 3d version of that would be epic....

 

as for the Keep... ummm not as easy as it sounds.

How so? The Keep sets a flag which if true class a game using that world state to offer a CC for Hawke at some point in game. The default state would have that flag as false so jump in new players could load the defualt hawke without incident.

Natashina..but would it be okay if I put the joke in my Signature with Sera name ?? 

Sorry, I've been doing some chores and such for the last few hours.  I have no problem with having the joke in  signatures, since they aren't as public.  ;)

 

Thank you for being kind as ever. ^_^

I try.  Some days are better that others.  :P

Maybe they have the Hawke customization linked to the synced heroes. Using a default Mage M!Hawke for example might disable the Hawke CC, so that players using the default world state don't get it. Just my guess.

Ugh... not being able to say a whole about the keep that hasn't already been officially announced is annoying... =\

But then you're requiring people to have made a Hawke and synced them to access the Hawke Creator. It is a simple way of handling it though.

I think they've shown enough of the Keep to speculate how it could be used for this purpose. For what it's worth I'm in the beta, but I'll drop it if you're worried about getting too close to a NDA breach.

Yea, I'd rather drop the speculation due to possible NDA breach... I'd rather not loose that Keep Access and what not. -shrugs-

One could certainly say that! So much to catch up on

I like Ashe's speculation about Hawke. I think in order to trigger a Hawke character generator, surely all the game needs to know is if you imported any non-standard DA2 choices from Keep. I think then it's safe to say that you at least know who Hawke is, and I'm sure they'll give you the chance to simply choose the default if that's what you want to do.

I think the Inquisitor will ask Varric about Hawke and then the CC starts.

I still think a CC suddenly popping up in the middle of gameplay would be a bit jarring. We already know Hawke's gonna appear, personally I'd rather just get it over with right at the beginning of the game.

whet? I was throwing in a IB reference for the things you mentioned sending Liara detractors away with.

 

Ok...

 

Every time I see a pic of Sera, I want to mess her hair up.

 

with both hands

 

Don't think you'd need to work too much on that. Her hair already is a bit of a mess... (Then again, so is mine, so I have no problem with it)

 

Hey, there's hair in places aside from heads.

 

Well, on humans. I'm not sure if elves have it.

 

Yes, Sera thread. Zhat place is filtsy!

 

Apparently this Facebook gaming group I am a member of thinks I work for Bioware lol 

 

Well played! :D

 

Well mounted combat definitely won't be a thing.

 

 

 

She doesn't seem know where she was born. I assume she was raised somewhere, though maybe she traveled a lot.

 

Well, not on a regular basis... But a short sequence where your companions also have mounts, and you fight on them?

 

But that could easily interrupt the flow of the game...

 

No, imagine. You meet Hawke in a relatively slow-paced bit, they're crouching, back to you. When they get up to face you (kind of like Merrill in DA2), the CC slides in seamlessly, just like what we've seen of DAI's CC.

Unless you're asking for text adventure combat then having less fights doesn't change the fact you have to add a whole heap of combat systems.

 

But I'm pretty sure they flat out said there wouldn't be any combat on mounts.

Unless they've confirmed otherwise somewhere, I suspect the game will just import whichever Hawke you've selected on the Keep as is. If you opt not to create a DA2 save file, you will get the default appearance for Hawke in DA:I (whatever that is).

 

This is really the only practical way as far as I see it. I highly doubt they would bother adding a mini-CC in the middle of the game for an NPC whose screen-time is most likely minimal at best.

Except the Keep doesn't import character appearance at all, also the engine change pretty much makes any import impossible even if it did.
