Guessing it just more or less confirms that the last-gens were indeed dropped for technical reasons, so they could even make the DLC the way they wanted at all. (I'm hype)
For technical reasons, yes - they've hinted at that already. But with that I think Mark Darrah might have confirmed that there's more (hopefully, very story-driven) DLC coming our way^^
Oh creators! I laughed way too hard at this. The way her hands just stick up like, "Woah there, big guy!"
Then my fiance saw it and decided he had to imitate Solas.
I also have some sketches I want to share, but they're awful and unfinished and I always look at other people's art and think, "I can't show these. They're garbage!" I need to practice a lot more!
But..Here is the beginning of one. I probably won't finish it...
SpoilerI also got to try my Solas tea today. It's so good! Very camp firey/perfumey. It's so Solas! Aside from the fact that it's tea, I suppose.
I'm the same way when it comes to art. I feel like mine is not good enough, but that's just me. Like the saying; you are your own toughest critic.But I think your sketch is great! 
That truly means the world to me! 
Thank you!!! ^
Being 5'11" (180 cm) and living in a country with men not being considerably taller than me, I don't think I'd ever run into this problem
I'm just under 5'6" and dating someone 5'6". I like this.

Do finish it! It's a great start. I saw this yesterday and I thought of it when you posted your sketch. It's really appropriate for any creative person. http://chibird.com/p...eatness-you-are

Totally true! 
Sadly, it isn't apparent for everyone it seems (and I'm not talking about anyone in this thread!) - and in all fairness, it wasn't as apparent for me at some point as well, which is why such graphs exist:
I keep telling myself to practice every day. Doing it is another matter. It's pretty embarrassing how long I've been drawing to only be at this level. (I started with drawing Sailor Moon..while watching Toonami... 
) It's been a few years since I've really drawn and my "style" has changed drastically in that time. This fandom actually got me into it again.
Best fans ever!
So cool..
I will just see myself out now..
I also wanted to share this because I actually like this one.
Zevran's mother was Dalish but I don't think there has been an explanation about his face tattoos. Just something they threw in maybe. And they have refined and changed a few things since Origins.
I was going to say that it's probably not a Crow tattoo, since you'd think that assassins would not want to have any easily identifiable markings... but the numerous accounts of them claiming credit for hits and the Crow armour from WOT2 seems to defenestrate that theory, along with any illusion of subtlety.
I've always assumed though that it was something that Zev got on a whim, as he claims that they are common enough in Antiva, as well as joking to Alistair that his facial tattoo isn't the only one he has on his body?
But I suspect that another, far more deeper and personal reason is that even if he doesn't identify with the Dalish or wear their vallaslin, Zevran wants to honour his mother in some small way and so got a facial tattoo to homage her.

Considering his history and his earliest childhood and how he wound up sold to pay off his mother's debts after she moved to build a life for them, well I'd consider that plausible. Zevran is, like Dorian in some sense, far more sentimental and tender underneath a defensive outside presentation..

The Crows seem to take an Assassin's Creed approach to thing, but with extra zest. They practically run the country. They allow themselves that theatricality, and use the fear and respect that being an obvious Crow brings.
Personally, I suspect a few flamboyantly assassino Crows would provide excellent cover for a disguised assassin to do the dirty work. 
I like the headcanon about Zevran's tattoos. I think it's pretty typical Zev behavior to treat something very seriously as something equally frivolous. (I need to do a Zev-Romance playthrough again, me thinks. 
) I think he mentions something about them being popular among the Crows. Not that they're Crow tattoos, necessarily. I'm picturing more like the scene in Starship Troopers where the Airborne Infantry grads all get drunk and get tattoos together.
Also, as for tattooing your followers as kind of a stupid decision, could we send that in a PM to Lord Voldemort?

For reals. What's that, former Death Eater? You didn't serve He Who Must Not Be Named? Mistaken identity? You just had a really crazy night in Spain last summer and drunkenly told your friend he could tattoo your arm? Oh that's cool. Totally off the hook. Been there, man. This veela on my chest is not my idea of fine art, if you know what I mean.

HMM. If they're doing a big tech upgrade, I wonder if we will have the chance to sport pretty long hair in the foreseeable future?
But Bioware, if it's between Solas or long hair... I choose Solas.
Another art post.

Yeah, never discount waking up with a tattoo when you're drunk, especially with a bunch of fellow soldiers.
I have a similar headcanon for the story behind Carver's mabari tattoo that he got at Ostagar, that he got it his squad enjoyed a night of heavy drinking with Cailan, after the King had bunked off yet another war council meeting with Loghain to spend time with the soldiers in the valley, which was mentioned in Origins by the soldier on the bridge.
As for Voldemort, his leadership was filled with stupid decisions, the tattoos being one of them.
That's also why the most successful and dangerous Death Eater in the entire Harry Potter series was Barty Crouch Jr, because he was operating independently and using his own tighly-knit plan, rather than following one of Voldemort's typical plans that suffer from complexity addiction. Actually, Voldemort going off-script and deciding to monologue in the graveyard, rather than kill Potter immediately as Barty had assumed (since it would have been the smart thing to do), was the only reason the books didn't end at number four.
Ahem... yeah, Dragon Age isn't the only fandom I overthink.
Why didn't Barty just make a book a Port-Key and shove it into Potter's arms? *shakes head sadly* It was a shame what happened to Barty. Scary competent and dangerously psychotic villains played by David Tennant in the adaptation should last longer, dammit.
...Or was there a ward in Hogwarts preventing Port-Key use, and he took advantage of the Tournament's relaxing those wards? (It's been ages since I've read the fourth one.)
Look, I'm just saying, the Solas Thread could run a helluva tight Death Eater ship.

I know this isn't a popular thing to say but I really wish they hadn't done last gen support in the first place. I followed DAI right from the start and seeing what was dropped from the game due to technical limitations is kind of heartbreaking. And given how much they were talking about this stuff in the last few months leading up to release it's clear that some was dropped at the very last moment.

We could out villain any villain really. *glares at Warden Idiot from Mass Effect 2*

"Dammit, I knew I should have called it off! But how was I to know that they would just say, 'No' when I asked them to turn over their guns?!"

I have a list of ways that I could've pulled off that plan better than Warden Idiot.

Which is slightly ironic, given that our patron elven god of rebellion kinda screwed up royally when it came to how his plans regarding the Ancient Elves, the Orb and Corypheus all ended up playing out...
(Although Solas is more of an anti-villain, so maybe it doesn't count)

We'll have to level him up in planning if Lavellan ever tracks him down.
Saw this posted on Tumblr. If anyone was wondering how the balcony kiss goes with a female Adaar...
*snip*
Just got home from work and was finally able to watch this. ROFLMAO I'm crying from laughing so hard. I always said lady Adaar was perfect height for Solas to motorboat.
What I love most about that mod is you'll noticed that Solas' hands are still at the right level to be drawn to her rear like a magnet. Solas gets to motorboat and cop a feel at the same time... clearly he must be in the Fade, cause he's living the dream!
Just got home from work and was finally able to watch this. ROFLMAO I'm crying from laughing so hard.
Yeah, but what we have witnessed there is like half motorboating, half cannibalism thanks to the massive clipping and her awkward 'I'm being eaten by a zombie' passive stance near the end.

I remember reading - might have been devs on Twitter -- answer in response to being asked about hair options and being told no.
Best bet here is mods if you play on PC.
@Illyria - Yes. It's not popular but I totally agree. I will refer to the other RPG(The Most Holy Game - The Witcher 3) that came out "this year" and you can see what the new-gen can do for a game like this. It's heartbreaking. They - Bioware- really had to limit themselves. There wasn't even a unicorn sex-scene! WHAT IS UP WITH THAT? In all seriousness, the biggest issue I had was that TW3 game world felt ALIVE. You would meet peasants on the road, the cities were BUSTLING. The world was huge and beautiful. Just thinking of what BW could have done and it hurts. it hurts.
I know the intent was initially release BOTH on old-gen, but I wonder if TW3 cancelled so long because they just wanted to make it new gen when devkits started going out. they delayed it like 2-3 years. and the game SINGS.
it's not that DAI is awful but it's really hitting the top end of what the old systems can do. further, you really see the difference from my PC to a PS3 or X-Box 360.
that is not the only issue I have with dai. my major beefs have actually nothing to do with the engine. but that's another post.
