So far, I'm inclined to the riddles being just parts of what constructs the final answer.

[ElitePinecone]

Ah, that's a good point.

 

So would the final 12-letter answer be an actual word, or gibberish that's taken from each clue?

My first presumption is the former. A 12 letter answer (maybe with spaces implied to be in between some of them) that will sum up everything.

 

Could be TOTALLY wrong on this though. The latter or anything else could instead be the case.

[TheDragonThatEatsItsTail]

I am thinking the concept arts will create a theme, and then the riddles will form words from those themes that create an answer to the final question.

Clue #6 off the Dragon Age facebook page:

 

[ElitePinecone]

^ I have a sneaking suspicion that nobody is going to solve this riddle.

 

The clues make zero sense so far.

[kukumburr]

Found the concept art for #6, it's the thorian from Mass Effect 1 as seen here.

 

Here are the 6 clues we have so far in condensed form:

 

 

Three from Dragon Age and three from Mass Effect.

 

Edit: Also found the concept art for Clue #2 in the Art of Mass Effect book, it's definitely the migrant fleet. Actually, it seems all the concept art used so far can be found in either the Art of Mass Effect or the World of Thedas books. Still not sure about the questions though.

[ElitePinecone]

If we're going under the assumption that each clue gives part of the 12-letter answer, could it be the first letter of each one?

 

(Though the list of 12-letter words in English is quite extensive)

 

Edit: there are, in fact, over 11,000 of them

[theflyingzamboni]

My guess is that it will be the first letter of each answer is a letter in the final 12-letter answer.

Assuming that, and considering that this is the mage challenge, I'm going to guess that the answer is

"Tranquilized".

Remember, you heard it here first folks.

 

I might wait for more clues before I chance that on official channels though.

Riddle #7 is of a group descending into Nevarran crypt. So... Nevarra?

 

Materials? Materials of their gear? Surroundings?

 

Some very strange wording to these questions, which means they're probably a factor.

[ElitePinecone]

'Tranquilized' almost works, funnily enough.

Riddle 2 - Quarian (?)

Riddle 3 - Reapers

Riddle 1 and 5 are stumpers...

 

Who brought the team (with a nug?) - Leliana?

 

What did it originally feel like? Feel?? All I can think of is maybe it's something in the Frostback Mountain Codex: http://dragonage.wik...tback_Mountains

 

Korth devised a plan that he might never be betrayed by his own heart, by taking it out and hiding it where no soul would ever dare search for it. He sealed it inside a golden cask, buried it in the earth, and raised around it the fiercest mountains the world had ever seen, the Frostbacks, to guard it.

 

But without his heart, the Mountain-Father grew cruel. His chest was filled with bitter mountain winds that shrieked and howled like lost souls. Food lost its flavor, music had no sweetness, and he lost all joy in deeds of valor. He sent avalanches and earthquakes to torment the tribes of men. Gods and men rose against him, calling him a tyrant, but with no heart, Korth could not be slain. Soon there were no heroes left, either among men or gods, who would dare challenge Korth.

[ElitePinecone]

But does this prove IT???

[ElitePinecone]

Riddle 1 and 5 are stumpers...

 

 

I was thinking who brought the team to PAX, as in Bioware's team.

 

Or... who brought the team down to the Deep Roads, in Origins? Wasn't there some dwarf contact on the surface we met?

 

I have no idea about 5, and I don't even know what that's meant to represent. I'll believe you if you say it's the Frostbacks though!

 

The BioBlog says we need to understand two cultures to get all the clues, which means every answer is in the IP of Mass Effect or Dragon Age.

[bairdduvessa]

i think it is a message about the dark gods and the taint

Clue #8 from the BioWare facebook page:

 

 

This image was tricky as it's rotated quite a bit but I think it's a Kirkwall marketplace. I would link to the concept art but I'm having trouble finding it online.

Clue #8 from the BioWare facebook page:

 

 

This image was tricky as it's rotated quite a bit but I think it's a Kirkwall marketplace. I would link to the concept art but I'm having trouble finding it online.

 

It's from the World of Thedas with the caption, "Vendors hawk food and wares in city markets, driving local economies from Kirkwall to Val Royeaux."

 

Now, I have no idea what "glowing eyes" has to do with a marketplace image... but I can't really think of anything other than Demons and Abominations that have glowing eyes.

[Hrungr]

I wonder...

 

I'm beginning to suspect the questions need to rearranged to the proper images.

 

"What has glowing eyes?" should be on the Illusive Man image, that sort of thing... I need to think on this more.
