This is honestly what I've been expecting since his last VO session. He really did seem to be trying to ask our questions from the Q&A from the #Cullenparty. I've been thinking that maybe he saved up the ones he can reveal, and they'll answer some on camera. (A girl can hope!!  :wub:  :wub: )

 

I've tried to keep my expectations low in regards to this kinda thing, but I can't lie: this has me excited.  :D

Even if there's no secrets and it's just two minutes of him being pleasantly baffled about Cullen's fandom it will still be fun to watch. (Of course, now I'm assuming they made one, but at this point that seems safe.)

 

(oh, hah, 250th post. should probably have saved that for the 1000th page to feel all nice about round numbers all at once. oh well.)

Oh man, Steve Valentine's voice! His wife is a lucky woman! 

 

I'm not convinced that they're going to record GE's session this week coming for the BioWare Base YouTube channel!

I will help you get closer to page 1,000 with this post. :)

 

To keep it relevant to the topic: I am interested to see what Cullen has been up to since DA2 ended. That was a lot of craziness, especially at the climax, and I'm curious to see how he goes from the Templars to the Inquisition.

Here's a blast from the past... I just remembered this vid the other day that my husband made me just before Awakenings while I was deep in my Alistair lurve. I think he was working through his jealousy issues...


 

Just wanted to give you guys a chuckle (and push closer to 1000)  ;)

 

Heeehee... I haven't seen that one before but it was hilarious.

OMG PRETTY
 

Civil war has ravaged the Orlesian countryside for months, but you'd never know it in Halamshiral. The nobles carry on as they always have, seemingly unaffected by the chaos surrounding them. You certainly won't hear the merchants complain about that, though. Not so long as the sovereigns continue to line their pockets.

So, with opposing forces engaged in battle outside the city walls, why has the Inquisition come to Halamshiral?

"The civil war is now at an impasse," explains level designer Chris Corfe. "The faction leaders are at a peace talk at the Winter Palace in Halamshiral, a magnificent Orlesian structure built on ancient elven grounds. The Inquisition is here to find and stop an assassin."

"We are about to attend a costume party," adds senior environment artist Ryan Love. "Get your mask on and your dancing shoes ready, but don't let your guard down. There's more to this party than meets the eye."

Though we've heard much about Orlais through Dragon Age lore, players will get their first chance to really get out there and explore it in Inquisition. Creating areas such as the Winter Palace in Halamshiral presented the team with an opportunity to flex some creative muscle.

"The cultural background of the Orlesians and the elves inspired the area," says Corfe. "From a layout perspective, the Winter Palace is inspired by old French palaces like Versailles. Writing, level design, cinematic design, and level art all had a hand in helping shape it."

"I think a lot of Halamshiral's inspiration comes from the world's most ornate and decorated places. Buckingham Palace was also used as inspiration," Love said. "Middle Eastern styles also influenced the building of this place."

"Our team of level artists really outdid themselves here," Corfe added.

Orlesian nobility has a reputation for enjoying the finer things, and the Winter Palace’s lavish architecture is no exception. What sets the look of this Orlesian gem apart from that of other areas players will visit in the game?

"There's a plethora of unique areas, but the main point of interest would be the ballroom," says Corfe. "Oh, and don't forget to check out the artwork in its ceiling."

"Ornate decorations, lots of gold, and over-the-top flair," Love added. "You may also notice the stark contrast between the gold-covered main areas of the palace and the servants' areas. This also speaks to the large wealth inequality within Orlais. In order to have this kind of excessive decoration, someone has to polish the brass."

The Winter Palace is quite the sight to behold, but of course, looks can be deceiving. Not all battles here are fought with staves and steel. In Halamshiral, politics can be even deadlier than the blade. The most effective weapons are typically rumor and scandal.

"Combat is not the main focus here," Corfe says. "Intrigue and social interactions rule the day, so the gameplay has unique elements. We still have some balancing to do, but I'd say it's shaping up nicely."

When it comes down to story, both Corfe and Love are a bit more tight-lipped. Although they are careful not to reveal any plot spoilers, they couldn't resist a little titillation.

"There is a nice chunk of content off the beaten path," admits Corfe. "And beware of the approval of the Imperial Court!"

"Make sure to search every dark corner of the place. You never know what you might find," Love confessed. "Also, always remember to be a good party guest. People won't take kindly to a guest snooping in their closets!"

Ahem, I think this is turning into a "Find Cullen" game :)

In this picture we can see a young male templar patiently waiting for an apostate to ambush them, and bring to the Circle of Magi (look how focused he is on his prey! A true hunter!).

Most templars have a reputation of feral beasts, however some sources claim they can be tamed and used as a war room decorations, or fluffy military advisors. Some even say they purr when you pet them, however we are yet to find the courage to pet a wild beast like this one.

Eric, perhaps tone down the big font size?

 

Also, I don't think Zev would be willing to do a job like this.
