And those of us who had difficulty getting through the novels. (not so much the writing, more that it seems like the last time anything positive happened in Thedas it was the Blight ending fast. Gonna continue to attempt Asunder and Masked Empire. Could not care less about Maric and Loghain if I were putting effort into it.)
Masked Empire is worth it.. I found it way more better read from the rest of the novels. ^^
Anyone else hope that before the moment of the breach
we'll have some time to meet and chat with the people there.
Kinda similar to Ostagar in DAO
HAHA I was thinking that too.. They give you your background and for a hour or so..you get to be where the breach happen. .. meeting people, heck they might apply how the character knows some of these people.. before it all goes boom =O
Like some demons start pouring out and you find a weapon that matches your class laying around. 
haha, that would be neat.. I can see that happening. to help you get an understanding of the class. They did that with DA and DA 2..so I bet something like it will be set. ^^
I won't be surprised if that happens....we chat with them,get to know them just a bit,we might even already know a few who are there,then BAM! They are all dead! THE FEELS!!!!! 
Because y'know BioWare likes to see their customers in tears! 
haha. i bet they will.. Just as the City elf wedding... =( or human noble class...back in DA:O .. you will meet some character who are good friends,,heck might even be family members.. who will be there..before the breach happens. =(
