Ok, as we all know, there will be Keeps in the game that we can acquire and then we can choose what to make each Keep the "hub" of. Merchants, Military/Political, or Espionage/Scouts(these may or may not be the choices but they are the closest I have found).

 

In keeping with this idea, do you all think that we will be able to go into a deeper level and more invasive level of customization? Like how many towers there will be? What kind of stone is used for the walls? Also, there is the idea of settling disputes between the people of the Keep, kind of like in Fable 3. Do you think we'll be settling land and property disputes?

 

Will each Keep have a different layout/map?

 

Then there is the idea of Banners. As an Inquisitorial Squad, and as such, we become organized(eventually im sure), do we get to design a Banner for our Inquisitor to carry and that we can use to hang on our taken Keeps? That would be so neat in my opinion. Our own colors and designs and such.

 

This one goes back to Dragon Age: Origins and the idea of mounts. Obviously if we have mounts we have to have a place to put them in our Keeps, which means we will have a stable of some sort. Remember when Leliana received the Nug as a pet from the Warden? Remember Ser Pounce-A-Lot? They were adorable and we could even interact with them to a certain extent. If we have Keeps and mounts, I think we should be able to purchase or capture pets and place them in our Keeps.

 

I would love to run around my Keep and see a pack of those Cat/Fox creatures running around lol. Domesticated of course so they don't attack my citizens. Or what about Halla? It's been confirmed we don't have a Halla mount(at this time yet anyway) so could we get one as a pet from the Dalish forest?

 

Just some thoughts I have been having while wondering the forums that I hadn't really seen being asked or addressed.

 

What do you all think? Thanks for reading!

Deeper levels of  customization get expensive. That depends on how many resources Bioware has to invest in Keep customization. In DA:A, we were very limited. DA:I will have a more robust system from what the devs say, but it's not clear how much that actually means in terms of options. I wouldn't be surprised if there are different layout, but I would imagine they are actually set for each type of keep or, alternatively, for each region. 

 

We've heard we can customize the appearance of the Inquisition, but it does seems is that the symbol for it is set. If that's right, then the banners may also be seen (i.e., they are just the all-seeing eye). 

 

I think having stables makes sense, and it can't be that hard to design them; IMO, it would depend if Bioware thought about this being a feature to add. Since we can dismount while we travel, I think the existence of stables will depend on whether the horse just disappears into the ether when we dismount.

i do recall them mentioning wed have some customisation of skyhold our main base at least though if thats any comfort.

[Amy326]

Tresca Mizzrym-It does give me comfort but Im just curious as to the level of control of customization we will have and if we will be able to customize our other Keeps to the level that we will be able to Skyhold.

 

In Exile-I didn't take how each Keep would be in different regions and that effecting the layout of their respective Keeps so technically it would be really hard to keep them all the same.

 

Thank you both for responding and giving your opinions and ideas as well. I appreciate the response.

i would like to see in depth customization, but i doubt we will see too much other than picking what the keeps specialize in...  too many resources would have to be devoted to it....  as for pets, give me a dragon or 6 to raise... and maybe a griffon

[Char]

I'd be quite happy with keeps having a similar layout, if not design. I quite like knowing where my bedroom/bathroom/stable/advisors etc are going to be at any given time. I'd be happy with the option to customise with decorations, npcs and pets, maybe a little like Shepherds bottled ship collection only with statues and suits of armour. Pets would be fun but only if interacting with them is optional. I don't play RPG's to empty litter trays and pour bottles of milk. I wouldnt mind seeing them around the place with dialogue options, sort of like the dog in DA2 though

[Amy326]

Wolfen- OMG I would love to have a Dragon and the original Wardens rode Griffins and that would be so badass.

 

Char-Similar layouts would be ok I agree but I don't want them to be like the maps in DA 2 is all. Shepards little knickknacks are what I was thinking of when I wrote that. And the armour and statues are a great idea. Portraits of past companions and such would be neat as well. As for emptying litter trays I think we would have maids to do that stuff lol.

[Lilacs]

Having stables and banners for our Keeps would be nice. If we have banners, it is probable that Bioware will include customazation.

[Todd23]

I'm guessing it'll be something like a more complex version of Your Room in Pokemon with its predetermined spots, and you decide which of the appropriate item you want to go there. Why do I think this? Because we got a skyhold throne which makes me think that we are allowed to switch out the throne. Maybe we decide what type of curtains, furniture, and etc. we use.

I didn't see anyone mention this, but we DO have halla mounts - at least in the Deluxe edition you receive a Red Hart Halla as a mount option.  No indication of regular Halla being mounts without it, but it's a definitely possibility if a special addition is a pre order bonus (unless that's been addressed by Bioware and I missed it?).

I heard that that was a typo, that apparently it's not a mount but a saddle for a Halla. So we do not get a Halla but we do get the option of capturing and mounting one. Unless they changed it again. I'm not 100 percent certain but I do know that recently I heard that the Red Hart Halla was a mistake. I preordered the Deluxe Edition.

[aaarcher86]

I haven't heard that at all. Do you remember where? They released a picture of it with the Bog unicorn.

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

Can we start a keep football league, and yes I mean a football not handoval.

@IlidanDA @Wild_Morrigan @BioMarkDarrah It’s supposed to be called a Red Hart, not a Halla. I’ll get origin folks to fix it.

 

 

 

On Twitter. It's not a Halla. But they haven't confirmed/denied Hallas being mounts yet.

 

 

And I think the idea of a stable would be cool! Although with all the different mount types being talked about how they would go about doing that would be interesting. x3

[Amy326]

Yay! Thank you for helping with that info! I appreciate it!

The only pet i want is Schmooples. All other pets are inferior.

[Bob from Accounting]

That doesn't sound like a very good idea.

Ser-Pounce-a-Lot? Dog? Herbert? The Uncrushable Clay Pigeon?

NEEEEVEER ENDING STOOO'OOOOOOOOOOORY

I want all of them! lol AND  a dragon!

I'd love to see banner customization (More reasonably, banner selection) personally, especially if they went all Mount&Blade on it and had some pieces of equipment that took the banner design as part of the look. Too much to hope for, but we can dream so long as we ground expectations in reality.

 

The Banners: Pay close attention to Top 2nd.

Spoiler

 

M&B's Heraldic Surcoat mail with Top Row, Second on the left Banner.

 

Again, Pipe dreams, but whatever right?

That would be a cool feature if we got to pick different banners.

I totally agree and hope that a developer or writer is prowling this thread and sees how much we all want this and how awesome it could be!

I would love to create my own banner.

[SerCambria358]

The reason im not keeping my hopes up for any banner customization is because the eye symbol is pretty overwhelming and seems to be the main theme of the inquisition along with the dragon. It wouldnt make sense to make a banner thats irrelevant to the faction involved, although i'd welcome it regardless
