Feleden was dull and tiny and lifeless in DAO. Every location was a small area with no real life to it, no feeling of nature or wind or of people actually being real people. And you couldn't real get a feel for Ferelden as a country, all you ever saw was small snippets.
 
But now? Now ever location is grand and gigantic, and chock full of life. You can finally feel like you're actually exploring Ferelden instead of just seeing bits and pieces selected on a map. I mean, think about Redcliffe village. Before it was a bunch of shacks near a boring lake, and was a tiny little pimple of a village. Now it looks like what it should have always been, a major town under a very popular arl near the grandest lake in the nation. Compare the locations to then and now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And now we get to actually explore places like the Frostback mountains and stuff, we probably get to walk around the whole of Lake Calenhad, travel along the Imperial Highway. I can't wait to see how much more large and grand and realistic places like the Orzammar entrance with it's gigantic statues, Denerim and maybe actually being fully explorable instead of a tiny market and a few copy and paste alleys, and Amaranthine's full splendor instead of a small walled area with about 3 building in it. And even places we never got to see, like Highever.

 

Ferelden feels like a real place now.

I am super excited to explore more of Ferelden in it's Frostbitey glory.

[The Elder King]

Orzammar is confirmed to not be in. I doubt we'll see Denerim and Amaranthine.

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

Its not brown enough

[Han Shot First]

I'm looking forward to Orlais more, tbh.

[Herr Uhl]

Not really, but it is nice that it isn't just shades of brown anymore.

[andy6915]

Aww... I wasn't really talking about the city itself though, just the surface entrance. We get to go to the Frostback area, it would be weird for them to not let you at least go to one of it's more famous landmarks even if only the surface area.

[WardenKing]

I am really excited for this! Can`t wait to see how Ferelden is doing after the Blight, I wonder how much has changed over the ten years.

[ladyiolanthe]

Part of the reason everything was brown and dull in DA:O was that it started in the fall of the year. We basically fought through the winter and ended the Blight in the early spring, I think. So the land would have been pretty lifeless and dreary within the time period we saw it.

 

I am looking forward to seeing how things have changed, although I feel bad for Redcliffe Castle... it looks like it's toast in the E3 Demo videos that BioWare has been posting on the DAI homepage. Redcliffe can't seem to get a break!   I'm hopeful that, if we make some different decisions in our play-throughs, we might be able spare Redcliffe from being taken over by that Magister. Or, at least that we'll get to visit it before it gets trashed by veil tears, Magisters, etc... It would be nice to see Redcliffe Castle when it is not overrun by disaster.

 

I am pretty excited to be able to explore Ferelden more in-depth, and to explore Orlais.

It was a joke, but... Yeah. Ferelden was a tiny and overtly brown backwater in DAO. Now it feels quite the opposite.

[Vegeta 77]

Looking forward to go back to my favourite nation.

[Enigmatick]

Dogs and Mud: The country. Orlais the best

[Lexxbomb]

I'm looking forward to this, in fact I rebuilt my computer with a R9 290 (from a HD6970) for this and Witcher 3

[Aurawolf]

I am looking forward to seeing all the zones to be honest but I would like to see the differences in familiar areas like red cliff. It is a shame Orzammar won't be in it in some fashion but I hope we can visit some other of the old cities since we are going to probably have to see about getting Ferelden on our side for the Inquisition.

 Ferelden was a dull and lifeless backwater in DA:O, now it's just a dull backwater. Not really excited to go back.

Why do you think it's dull?

[In Exile]

Why do you think it's dull?

 

Because it's a backwater, and I don't like nature treks. To me, a setting has to have a gripping to it that I haven't seen before, or some surreal element to enjoy exploring. It's hard to pin down. Despite the fact that it wasn't open world, I really liked exploring the world in Dishonoured. 

 

Ferelden is basically just forest, nature, backwater villages. That's not interesting. 

[HiroVoid]

Still seemed more lifefull than Kirkwall pretending to be a major city packed full of refugees and other people.

[CENIC]

To experience it's TRUE splendor we'd need Smell-'O-Vision for the scent of wet dog...

It is. Which is why I said that it just looks dull now (though I did think it was a bit lifeless before in DA:O). 

[Althix]

honestly? not really.

 

graphics are always on third-fourth place for me. hell i even have virtual machine with w95 just to play Chaos Gate from time to time, or similar old games. Because ironically enough when graphics gets better, everything else gets worse.

[slimgrin]

One of the things that still tempts me to get this is the fact they've opened up the levels....finally. DA:O really lacked in this area. I'm curious to see how Bioware handles exploration, random events etc.

Not the graphics exactly. more like the new size and scale upgrades.

[Adhin]

I'm personally excited for Redcliff being an early area as it's a good way of going 'so this is how its supposed to look' early in the game you know? Also getting to see the keep off in the distance like that, and eventually go to it. Didn't really get a sense of scale in the past 2 games. So yeah, excited for that before going to a buncha new areas we've never seen before. Also, super excited to go to a buncha new places we've never been before.

 

So excited and then excited with a side of excited =D

[Rawgrim]

I liked the old Ferelden too.
