Most likely, yes. Looking forward to it.

I have many kind of characters but for some reasons I only finished game with these one's. Maybe I want heroes who are only good little boring. I think I overall like conflicting characters like my blood mage. My headcanon for him isn't that he's evil maleficarum that wanted more power, more like he was into situation where he needed more power to save others when he was little so he's similar to Connor in that sense. Actually my blood mage is as good as it gets, always helping with everyone and wanting to find peaceful solution XD He friendship romanced Fenris, was friends with everyone else too (but not Isabela, sigh she always leaves my Hawkes) and in the end sided with templars cause he wanted to protect Kirkwall ^^

Interesting! I definitely find that kind of approach to blood magic intriguing, but what kills it for me is the lack of in-game recognition of the PC use of blood magic, because I really feel it would change certain dynamics with characters. Like if Fenris knew Hawke was a blood Mage I think it would make the friendship path reeeeaaally difficult. Merrill is a sweet character, but Fenris and Anders can never look past her use if blood magic, for example. Without that reactivity for my own PC, my sense of immersion is broken, if that makes sense? To me it cheapens the speciality: you get to use the perks without having to worry about negative reactions from your followers.
Which, please understand, is NOT a critique against how you choose to play! I'm always intrigued by how differently many players play out the game as opposed to how I do it.

Actually the same thing bothered me too so don't worry ^^ I'd love if some companions would be more distrustful towards my blood mage since they are known to be manipulators. I'd love if someone would have call him out of it, especially Fenris. But no, Fenris just tells Anders that Hawke is strong mage no matter if he's blood mage or not which isn't nice since blood mages give into temptation no matter the reason.

 

EDIT: To bring this back to Cullen, how would you want to react to blood mage companion? Should Inquisitor being blood mage lead Cullen to leave, make him unromanceable or just make him mention it? I really hope he wouldn't leave although it makes sense but I hope there is some kind of consequence of being blood mage.

Precisely! Glad you understand where I'm coming from if DAI allows for more reactivity, I think I'd be much more interested in trying out a blood Mage.

Anyway, end rampant off topicness,

The lack of acknowledgement has always bothered me, too, which is why I'm so glad they've specifically said that people will take note if you're a blood mage. Yay! I really hope Cullen flips out because of it.

Hmmm, I like how gender neutral that Inquisitor looks.

HOT DAMN THAT'S COOL

 

The art style is sweet! And the Inquisitor is distinctly gender-neutral!   Love it.

Kinda miss the blood dragon though. (I'm English, I need to complain in SOME way)

[Panda]

Hmm the cover is nice but I wonder why they abandoned red and white style, I loved it.

[Shyviolet]

Gorgeous cover art! Has a real Pandora's box feel to it with all those demony demons spilling out.

 

I love all the castles in the background!

No blood dragon, but it you look at the white negative space where the demons are, you can make out the shape of a dragon.     

 

Oh, so cool!

I don't know, it looks pretty manly to me....kind of disappointed in that but looks good otherwise.

[Hellion Rex]

I noticed that they used a Warrior Inquisitor for the art though.

I saw it on twitter and nearly woke up the baby with my sqeeeeeeeee. Then the four-year-old saw it and asked what it was. I told him it was evil fade spirits that mama was going to defeat... Like a BOSS. To which he responded, solemnly, "oh, like the reapers?" (Except he says "weap-uhs"... Adorable) yes, back for ME3 I had both sons trained to respond to "how is mama gonna defeat the reapers?" With "like a boss!" #RaisingFutureGeeksAndProudOfIt

Oh, did they say people WILL respond to blood Mage inquisitors? NICE. I hope Cullen and others have strong reactions, yes!

 

Hmmm, I like how gender neutral that Inquisitor looks.

LIKE.

[Crunchycarp]

Why are there flying monkey like things coming out of the fade?

[Shyviolet]

No blood dragon, but it you look at the white negative space where the demons are, you can make out the shape of a dragon.     

 

Oh, so cool!

 

I see it now! I was too busy squinting at the little details and missed that 

 

Now if they would just release the release date!  #greedy

Really? I could easily see a woman in that armor.

I didn't notice that at first!!! Good eye, Tuck!
((Yeah, I'm a mom. I referenced Wonder Pets ))

My first thought was, "LADY HIPS." Then I blinked. "ANDROGYNOUS HIPS."

[wiccame]

Oh probably could get a woman in that armor, but that clearly looks like a man in the pic. But I guess they had to go with one or the other.

I think the hands are a bit manish, but there's no reason why it can't be a female warrior under that armour.
