I wonder if we're able to show other people what our Skyholds look like. Would be totally boss if I can show people my crib
Screenshots are always fun =) I would love to see how everyone decorate their castle.

Because Skyhold is where the members of the Inquisition gather, you can wander around the grounds and find all of your allies. They all find their own corners and make themselves at home; Leliana can be found in the rookery, for example, while Sera is more comfortable in the bar. “You get to see their spaces become theirs – they kind of personalize them,” Laidlaw says. “Some degree of their demeanor comes through, like Dorian with a massive leather-backed chair.” Not only are these characters hanging around, but players’ interactions with them in this situation are deeper than they were in Dragon Age II.
“A lot of our fans missed the ability to interact with their party members and close friends, and just say ‘Hi, how are you?’ like in Origins,” Laidlaw says. “Many of them will be delighted to know that that is back, full force, in Skyhold. You walk up, ‘Hey Varric, how’s things? Tell me about Kirkwall.’ Getting a sense of their character, digging in. You can just go, ‘Plant one on me,’ which is pretty satisfying in a weird way.” In some cases, your main avenue to interact with your romantic interest is also at Skyhold. Your advisors Cullen and Josephine don’t travel with you as fighting companions, but they are still potential love interests. How you use your time at Skyhold with them can shape the direction your relationship takes.
One that I enjoy is a character who, over the course of the game and depending on what you do, it’s possible to almost talk them down rather than going into direct conflict,” Laidlaw says. “Sort of a social victory. I don’t want to into details as to how, but that character is then brought to you for trial. In terms of consequences, that character has a ton of information and could end up working with your spies, making them globally more effective. It is also possible, depending on your mood, to sentence that character to permanently become your court jester.”
Though Lee and Laidlaw enjoy discussing the more lighthearted examples, not all judgments end with a smile. You can exile characters and execute them, and in one case, you can sentence a mage to Tranquility.
From judgments to the war table, everything in Skyhold is designed to put control in players’ hands. “The heart and soul of the Inquisition experience is that of being a leader,” Laidlaw says. Lee adds: “Skyhold is a place to project your power from.”
Screenies! Look in the spoilers tag. :3

I can see it now, my inquisitor braiding Blackwall's beard and painting his nails. Solas and Cullen playing truth or dare.
The image of the cells in the keep reminds me of the jail cells on the edge of the cliff at that castle in game of thrones. Lets hope we can throw prisoners till their death.

the front at least.
Those stairs look like they would be quite tiring to go up after a full day of inquisiting.
This may seem like such a minor thing to other people, but I like that the throne is placed in an area where there's STUFF: tables, chairs, statues, hallways, and possibly more. Too often does it seem like thrones are placed in big open rooms where, if nobody is in court, you're just sitting in a empty, featureless room. At least here you can look at any number of things instead of counting how many floor tiles you can make out from your big ol' chair.
right? they just come across the inquisitor slumped over the stairs, hand reaching towards the door.
That's the exact image I had in my head when I thought about how many stairs there was.
The Inquisitor reaches towards the last step and finally makes it to the top and just passes out, Iron Bull just slings them on his shoulder and carries them in.

And then Iron Bull throws Sera in.
