WoT mentioned as inherently evil, as well (if I recall) Cameron Lee in the Ausgamer interview. That's what TK Is referring to, I guess.
Yes,and i for one am glad that that sillyness turned out to be false.As soon as you label something in your universe as lol!Evil it ceases to be interesting(at least imho).
I do hope it gets to be available in a later game again someday.

I haven't read it. Whenever I see it mentioned as evil it is "written" by someone Andrastian.
WoT doesn't claim that blood magic as inherently evil. (I wrote about it but it got lost on the last page. 
) I have it right here and reread the Magic chapter and the blood magic section in particular. Not described as inherently evil. Unless of course it is somewhere else in the book, somehow.

If i recall correctly it is mentioned somewhere in WoT that blood magic is stronger if pain and suffering is involved.That and a dev comment that blood magic was basically supposed to be the "Token Evil Power™" made people believe its inherently evil.

In WoT is says "the more violent the pain or death used in blood magic, the more powerful a spell becomes." (pg 109) Not the same as "blood magic is evil" to my mind. It is just stating a fact. It doesn't outright state it is evil, though people can draw their different conclusions (I'm no fan).
There's more general chatter and I encourage you to listen to the interview if you have the time.
You just saved me 55 minutes. Now if only you could do something about my car insurance.
Hohoho 
Wycome is said to be the revelry capital of Thedas and the greatest importer of Antivan wine despite its population being only a third of Val-Royeax.
So, if we must be a Marcher, let us be from there, please.
I would like to have my Human Inquisitor drink Antivan wine
I wonder if Avexis from Dawn of the Seeker is considered a hedge mage? Her powers manifested into her ability to control animals?
She was kidnapped from a circle so I doubt she was an hedge mage. She was just gifted that way.
- All DLC exist even if you didn't play them.
Sounds like they're going the same route as they did with ME3, which is fine with me and a good way of handling it, in my opinion - so then Corypheus always escapes from his prison (probably by possessing Janeka, since she was the one intent on releasing him), while Tallis always succeeds in obtaining the list of qunari agents from Salit and Duke Prosper. However, I'm also assuming that like with ME3, there'll be additional content in DA:I game for if Hawke did actually complete those DLC quests.
- Merrill is bisexual. Even if you romance her with a male Hawke, she is not straight.
This is.... a most curious statement, actually 
I wonder why of the four DA2 LIs, he chose to state that Merrill was bisexual?

He was doing a comparison from Isabella who was pretty direct with the fact she was Bisexual to Merril who never hinted at what her preferences where, yet in reality both where Bisexual.
Look on the bright side,medieval zombie apocalypse would at least be kinda unique^^
They're only real zombies if they're possessed by hunger demons.
Hawke is marked as Fereldan throughout DA2. It matters at the start of the game because it explains his refugee status and the desperation in going on the Expedition - people do not hire even capable Fereldans to do very much. It matters to the meta-plot because Cass suspects that Anders' plot was actually a plot that was hatched in Ferelden. And it carries throughout the Kirkwall narrative because Hawke is always cast as the Outsider.
Fereldan is also known as a backwater, and there are tensions with Orlais. Being a marcher means that you bring a whole new perspective and position to the table vis-a-vis Orlais and Ferelden - you're an outsider in both.
Not necessarily true. Orlais at one point controled the entirety of the Free Marches and Nevara (which was part of the free marches at one time). The Free Marches hate Orlais just as much as Ferelden hates Orlais.
The problem is that Merrill wasn't planned to be sexually ambiguous though.
Merrill is only sexually ambiguous simply because she NEVER talks about it. Gaider's point is that she's still bisexual even if she doesn't talk about her sexuality at all. It's a player perception issue, not a writing one.

I'm glad that they are including a prologue and giving players a chance to ease into the role of the Inquisitor.
Really hopin' that they have a scene similar to the pic below:
The various tidbits of information. The way they waffle back and forth on various subjects suggests to me that they, as a team, either don't have a setting bible or source of truth that they reference when adding content and discussing the setting, or they don't use it. That further suggests to me that since no one seems to agree about said subjects, even in game comments and codexes that are supposed to be objectively true are worthless since they'll only reflect one writer's belief rather than what should be a team and setting wide fact.
Why should I invest myself in a setting when the creators don't even care enough about it to agree on basic details?
Firstly, they're not going to give out any deep setting information in a 'random' unofficial interview (no disrespect intended!) months before the game comes out. They save that stuff for the story planning meetings.
Secondly, there are no (or very very few) codex entries that are objectively true - they're all written as quotes from people in Thedas, and so are subject to their beliefs, experiences and bias.
I would have loved for my human PC to be from Antiva or the Anderfels . How could he forget Cullen's surname O.o
How would a mage Trevelyn be nobility? Mages can't have titles, correct?
You'd be like Connor. Born into nobility but when discovered you were a mage you were sent to the Circle.
Not necessarily true. Orlais at one point controled the entirety of the Free Marches and Nevara (which was part of the free marches at one time). The Free Marches hate Orlais just as much as Ferelden hates Orlais.
Lady Insanity's a great interviewer. I love that if David is humming about answering her question she'll rephrase it for him so that she still gets an answer that he can be comfortable with.
The prologe always get me excited in the da lore when playing espy since everything is so personal[rpg]
I wonder how they gonna make it work. I plan to play as human mage Inquisitor. And as far as I know he will have no experience with leadership whatsoever since he was locked up in the circle during all of his life. You don't really put people like that in a leading position.

Thanks just wanted to make sure it was right.
No problem.

You could start out as a figurehead.
Now I want to know what Circle the PC will be from? Hoping for Tevinter or Anderfels (so little is known about the Anderfels.)
The circle in Tevinter isn't controlled the same way as the southern nations circle.
