I think it was mentioned somewhere that they were going to update the older pictures to show off more how the game looks now. But for the life of me I can't remember where. (And Varric's were really old. I think they'll do Cass next.)
Also, please correct me if I am wrong (which I probably am) but; In Awakening and Witch Hunt, didn't you fix Veil tears by simply attacking them? I remember in Awakening you were in the Fade (when you meet Justice), had to fight a few demons and touch a pedestal or something, but once you were brought back you had to 'attack them' and they disappeared. And in WH, when in the Tower, you simply had to attack the tears and they went away. Or am I completely off? xD
