Oh, well, I had been thinking about giving Bull a shield, which would help the defense.
LOL That would be a funny sight for some reason! I dunno why....

So, an article about DAI in PC Gamer UK September 2014 noted that there will be a quest involving addressing the Chantry in Val Royeaux
Hmm...
A Capital Occasion?
Yep.
The leaked achievement list is real.
I like the part in that article where they say about stopping to ask how we are and then having to actually answer to the choices we made. Sounds like the perfect way to grow our characters personality and motivations!

Is there a link to the article that I missed somewhere??
^I think it is real, however I believe the list leaked was incomplete.

It's a digital copy someone got as a subscriber and they're typing up info for us right now.

Yeah, I figured we were gonna do multiplayer. ME3's went over pretty well.
PC Gamer UK have a new preview in their September magazine.
I'm a digital subscriber and my copy came through today - here are some of the best bits, but I reckon you should track down the magazine in a physical copy or digitally if you can. It's full of info that I haven't included here.
About Skyhold (quotes are in bold):
"It’s detailed, cavernous, but more importantly, there’s more stuff you can do in Skyhold than on Commander Shepard’s ship. Past the tavern, stables, courtyard, kitchen, and dungeon (for imprisoning people, not slaying rats, I learn), I step to the War Table. Here, a dozen or so operation markers populate a world map: scouting missions, a task to gain the friendship of the dwarven kingdom of Orzammar or to recruit an arcanist. You complete these micro-quests entirely through the menu, and they grant modest benefits: gold, loot, resources, or adding more ‘agents’ who join the Inquisition."
"... part of playing Inquisitor means decorating Skyhold manually: everything from the windows, throne, banner, and heraldry to the drapes can be swapped in a menu."
____
There's also a long section on how the Inquisition can "pass judgement" on certain people as a result of quests - the example they gave was dealing with a barbarian tribe after defeating their leader in battle. The judgement sequences come after some story events and offer the player a way to reflect on what just happened.
"Laidlaw underlines the value on getting players to look backward rather than simply anticipating the next quest. “Inquisition, moreso than many of our other games, takes a moment to just ask ‘how you feeling?’ and have characters dig into why you did what you did. And to try to understand the Inquisitor’s mind. And they’re some of my favourite moments in the game,” he says."_____"Some operations, like this one, are instantly resolved, but others ask you to pick which of your three advisors – Josephine (political), Cullen (military), or Leliana (spying) – is the right fit for the job, making them temporarily unavailable. You can visit with all three of these support characters inside Skyhold.Also nestled into the War Table (but separated from operations) are Inquisition perks, which draw on influence that you gain from exploring Thedas and completing quests. (If power is “Inquisition gold,” as Darrah puts it, influence is Inquisition XP, effectively.) There are four perk types: Forces, Secrets, Connections, and simply ‘Inquisition’, the first three of which are tied to the aforementioned advisors. A Forces perk might increase your potion capacity by four; a Secrets perk might increase the XP you earn from picking up codex entries; one Connections perk grants better merchant offers on rare items. Skyhold changes as a reflection of which perks you favour, although I wasn’t told how.""

Aha! So when Leliana presumably didn't return that time with the Redcliffe castle thing then it was because she'd got herself captured trying to deal with it?
Oh no, imagine someone would send Josephine there! ![]()
THIS IS TOO MUCH INFORMATION TOO FAST AHHHH
