That council table shot may be the first-ever screen cap of non-derpy Dorian!

 

I swear that table gets bigger and smaller in every picture!

[Crunchycarp]

Hehehe.

Now your just Rubbing it in our face

[CuriousArtemis]

If I can, I'll send Morrigan, cause she don't take sh*t from no magisters. If not, I'll send someone I don't care about

 

Hmm I dunno about that; Morrigan's liable to be all, Wow, Alexius, great plan! *joins in the chaos*

[BFace]

Hehehe.

You, Messere, are a brat.

[Potato Cat]

Hmm I dunno about that; Morrigan's liable to be all, Wow, Alexius, great plan! *joins in the chaos*

I think she'd be like all 'You've made your son a zombie? 'Tis clear you have some serious issues.'

She may be evil, but she's not that evil :3

[JediBeagle]

Hehehe.

 

Y U Do Dis?!

 

[CuriousArtemis]

Agreed. And even then it may not be 100% correct when it is finally released. I have the Mass Effect 3 strategy guide and it says that Kaidan can only be romanced by female Shepards.

 

 

Ummmmm...no.

 

Wow, really? May not bother wasting my money on a guide then  Since that's kind of the one reason I'd really buy the guide LOL!

Going through the last few pages of this thread I just realized how different people play roleplaying games. Or at least how different they play Dragon Age. Never thought of that before. I, for instance, don't plan ahead. I want to play a female human mage but that's about it. Furthermore, I am interested in hooking my mage up with Cullen but when it turns out that he has changed for the worse, she might not be interested in him at all. So, I basically make it up as I go along and react to the way other characters treat me. Also, I want to go through the game world open-minded. If I plan a character ahead it all seems so fixed. This isn't criticsm, just an observation. I never even thought about planing a whole character in advance.

 

That said, I don't find gender or race restrictions all that horrible. But I feel for everyone who is disappointed if the prefered romance option isn't available.

I have six word documents planning my canons

I dunno why they're so tight-lipped on this (except for Sera)! But Sera not being a mistake, as Gala suggested, gives me hope that they'll reveal the sexualities of all the characters before the game ships. 
 
If they don't, I'm buying a guide, and if the guide doesn't say, I'm waiting for the wiki to update before playing the game!

I think i have to find romance information before playing. I guess i can wait couple of days. With sexuality and race restrictions chances of my fem qunari are probaply slim and i want to know i can romance someone i like with her before playing.

I don't plan ahead too much either. I want to play an elven rogue. Ideally, I would like to check out the Cullen romance with her (Obviously. ), but if that doesn't happen, either through restrictions or my character's reactions and developments, then, I'll try again with a different play through.

[Galagraphia]

My brain supplied this hilarious image of Cullen in a fuchsia velour doublet, lime green and yellow striped hose, and a floppy hat with at least 8 multi-colored ostrich plumes. I may stop giggling at some point, but it's also possible that I'll pass out from lack of oxygen before that happens.

So you basically want to see a landsknecht Cullen?  Me too!

David Gaider over on the Dorian thread:

 

 

Hmm, usually when DG hand waves something and says "It's not what you think it is" it turns out to be EXACTLY what we think it is." 

 

Darn!

That's how I see it, too.

Wow ...  . Okay. At least you get something for your money with six playthroughs  .

[SeekerOfLight]

What kind of errors did the DA2 guide have? I used one but didn't notice any...

David Gaider posted this in the Cassandra Thread
 

As for the "rage" regarding people discovering that a character on whom they'd already pinned their romantic hopes suddenly isn't available to them (either by way of gender or race, which are both possibilities in DAI) -- them's the breaks. One can either deal with their disappointment in an in-game manner (nothing like actually interacting with a character rather than thinking about them solely in the abstract), they can play as a different PC (if romancing that one character is the most important thing to their game), or they can come to the forums and complain about how them not getting that option in the game is somehow a violation of their rights or part of a larger socio-political conspiracy. It won't get them anywhere, but so long as they do it politely and are considerate of other posters, they are certainly free to vent their frustrations.

 

He didn't mention crying in a dark corner for days on end; I'm afraid I'm going to be doing it wrong.

This quote:  either by way of gender or race, which are both possibilities in DAI

 

How very intriguing. I actually like that kind of mechanic, and I wonder if that would extend to class as well. This being relevant to those of us wanting to see the Cullen romance.

 

Your smiley is confusing me as I don't see how this would be a good thing for us

 

Watch me lose Cullen AND Iron Bull due to gender and race restrictions, respectively. 

 

This game... JUST TELL US ALREADY!!!!!!!!! Let me take in the depression and disappointment early so I can have a few months to get over it, accept that I'll have no one to romance, and just play the game to enjoy it as best I can.

[Galagraphia]

Poor Scribbles.

 

She doesn't even have a name yet.

You know, I thought she looked a bit like Traynor, so when I heard the female voice in the companions trailer, I thought Scribbles was narrating. And people were like, "Oooh, Femquisitor! Awesome!" And I was like, "Where did you hear her???" 

Yeah, poor girl is the most mysterious person in the Inquisition. We, Cullenites, at least know who Cullen was before, and his name. 

 

BTW, isn't it time for more news? Interview with a vampire about Vivienne? The super-official reveal of Dorian?

 

Ok, I'm back to making a gif. I think it will take a lot of effort, because focus moves.

[CuriousArtemis]

Is it just me, or do all the companions seem much more interesting this time around?

 

No more or less than previous games, although keep in mind I loved the companions from both previous games, so it's just the same level of excellence in my eyes. 

 

I will say that the least interesting to me are Dorian and Blackwall -- I've already explained Dorian, but yes, Blackwall! Okay, he is sexy, and I pray to the BW gods I can have him, but the noble warrior thing has kind of been done.

For me, restrictions breeds creativity. I know it's not like that for everyone, so I feel bad for those people, even while I'm excited for the characters that I'll be creating to see all the different possibilities. That Dragon Age Keep better work perfectly. AND there had better not being a character limit on the PS4 this time around, or I'm going to be so flipping... ticked.

 

This kind of thinking is so beyond me! I mean I don't need restrictions to FORCE me to make a new character; hell, I was gonna do that anyway, BW! Adding restrictions just, well, RESTRICTS me from certain paths and romances. If I wasn't going to play a male dwarf before, gating my preferred romance so only male dwarves can have him/her is not gonna make me play a stinkin' male dwarf!

Character Profile: Vivienne

Spoiler

[DRAGON AGE]: What was Vivienne's life like before she met the Inquisitor?

[MARY KIRBY]: She was, and still is, the official enchanter to the Imperial Court. Now, mages in Thedas can't hold political power, so the post was almost like a glorified court jester—someone to do magic tricks on command.



[DA]: That sounds a bit humiliating for someone with her power. How did she deal with it?

[MK]: Vivienne took the job and turned it into an advisory position for the Empress. She claimed her place as a respected, and sometimes feared, member of the court instead of as an oddity, and she got used to telling the most powerful nobles in the world what to think about magic and mages.



[DA]: All’s well that ends well, right?

[MK]: And then the Circle shattered, a war started for the Orlesian throne, and someone ripped the sky open. So… could be better.



[DA]: How does she come to join the Inquisition?

[MK]: Vivienne is not the sort of person who would sit back and watch while the world crashed down around her. The Inquisition is the only group even trying to stand against the chaos. So she resorts to the only logical course of action for a courtier: she throws a party for them.



[DA]: What was your favorite part about writing her character?

[MK]: Vivienne was fun to write because she let me play around with different ways for a character to be powerful. Any mage can destroy their enemies with fire and ice, but Vivienne can rip apart her opponents verbally, politically, socially—and make ice seem like the gentlest option.



[DA]: Does her personality conflict with her fellow companions, or does she fit right in with the Inquisition?

[MK]: She takes great pride in her work, and her interactions with a certain unnamed Inquisition mage can be a little… explosive. In a good way. Mostly.



[DA]: Vivienne doesn’t sound like someone you’d want to tangle with. Can you share an example of how she interacts with people who get on her bad side?

[MK]: Certainly.



My dear ambassador,

I don't believe we've met, so allow me to introduce myself. I am First Enchanter Vivienne, enchanter to the Imperial Court of Orlais, personal advisor to the Empress.

A rumor has reached my ears that you plan on attending the salon held at the duke's summer estate three weeks hence. I'm certain this rumor must be a scandalous falsehood, Ambassador, as neither you nor anyone else from the Nevarran embassy has been issued an invitation. As host of the party, I trust you did not intend to crash it like some unwashed workman drunk on three tankards of ale and a dare.

I know you are only seventy-third in line for the Nevarran throne, but that is hardly so lowly a position as to relegate you to trailing after Comtesse Montbelliard in the hope that she might give your suit a moment's thought. She won't, my dear. She only likes men with self-respect. Perhaps you might sober up and acquire some?

I'm sure I don't have to tell you, Ambassador, that the world has become a dangerous place. Wars rage across the continent, the sky is torn open, and many say the end of the world is upon us. During such chaotic times, it behooves those of us in power to aid in the restoration of peace and the establishment of order. Lives have already been lost; should we not save those we can? In that spirit, I give you this friendly warning: I am not to be trifled with. I would not be in a rush to hasten my own demise if I were you, darling. If the demons have their way, it will come soon enough.

Most sincerely,

Madame de Fer

Class restrictions (IE, Cullen not being interested in a mage Inquisitor, since we all know that's what I meant) wouldn't be a bad thing for *me* because...well hang on a second...

 

*casts cloak of protection from pitchforks*

 

I am not the least bit interested in romancing him as a mage.
