Does it mention *where* this Skyhold is?

 

The name makes it sound like it belonged to the Avvars, so I'd guess it'll be somewhere in the Frostback Mountains.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Laidlaw didn't provide any. The magazine just says stuff like 'Josephine is an advisor for politics and a romance for men and women.' 'Cullen is a Templar and one of your advisors.'

Ah, that's a little saddening. I think they deserved a one line blurb like the companions got. 

[MisterJB]

Considering the alternative is that it isn't in the game at all...

It might as well not be.

Scouting missions are one thing. We're not the one who go scouting so, sending a soldier and then receiving the results makes sense.

But winning the friendship of the one supplier of lyrium in the continent deserved more; is clicking a button and, suddenly, you're friends with Orzammar really that much of a difference from it not being in the game at all?

At the very least have a dwarven delegation be sent to Skyhold if you don't want to recreate Orzammar.

How can you say what deserved more when you don't know what the actual missions will be? And besides that, yes, having a diplomatic mission off-screen where you negotiate a partnership with Orzammar is better than it not being in the game at all.

Probably very close to the pass between Orlais-Dales and Ferelden, though I can't help but wonder if maybe that's a bit too close to the Breach at Haven.

[Bekkael]

It doesn't just say that Cullen is a templar though....

 

Spoiler

It says he works for the templars as Knight-Captain. I don't know if they are just stating his position at the end of DA2, or if he still retains that role in DAI.

 

At any rate, it was a great article. Lots of cool tidbits.

[Hellion Rex]

Also, this is the write up of the Dales Highlands:

Spoiler

The intro to the Dales is incredibly light. An arcane, mysterious blizzard has grasped the area's rough, typically thawed cliffs, icing the river that nearby Sarhnia depends on for food and trade. What I notice throughout this area, is the lack of heavy handed exposition about who, what, where, why: the theme of the Highlands, as I discover, is driving out an invader and advancing the frontline.

 

The Red Templars are to blame for the magic winter, and I see their signature pocking the cliffs as I climb: red lyrium. This potent, dangerous anti-magic substance is the source of the corruption that's tainted those Templars, and huge crystalline shards of it are piercing the Highlands. I cleave and shield-bash thourhg a fourth pack of the misguided knights in an ice tunnel; the whole screen is a glow of blue light filtered through pristine ice and unnatural, saturated red emanating from the lyrium. These colors tell the story as well as any dialogue.

 

Further up, I fight a Red Templar Behemoth, less a soldier and more a 15-foot-tall, faceless lump of bipedal lyrium.

Might be the point, its probably visible from the Inquisitor's window, ever-present throughout the game.

[Tevinter Rose]

Cass: Inquisitor there's a breech in blah blah, we must go save it, people are dying.

Inq: Hm.. yes, does that stained glass look good there?  Maybe if we go with this other one?

Cass: You've been fixing that window all day Inquisitor

Inq: I'm sorry what?  Josie which do you like better?

 

Spot on     

[KC_Prototype]

I super stoked for the Skyhold and all it's rooms and features but what really got me excited was the mention of Val Royeaux! I can't wait to go there! I'm so excited to be exploring the city.

[KC_Prototype]

no rooms and bedrooms?

Cameron Lee confirmed the Inquisitor get's his or her own suite of rooms; I assume each companion and advisor gets their own room as well.

[yullyuk]

just read the article on my phone, was very well detailed and was glad to read about some features that havent even been discussed in detail by the devs yet

[polemists02]

I understand some people want more detail but I am happy. I won't know how till I play but it makes sense. We already got one delay. They can only put so much in the game. Bioware decided where the story should focus and we makes choices and journey through that story. Sure sometimes there are other stories I would like to see more of but any system has limits. I am fine with them being table options with interesting codex entries and choices. I would just hope some do not repeat all the time. I would rather feel a bit of uniqueness. Some are bound to but se should feel more important.

The Frostback Mountains are pretty big so I'm sure it's far away from the main breach. 

[Jawzzus]

Its close enough to see it outside the windows though

[Melca36]

no rooms and bedrooms?

 

Cameron Lee said in a Q&A that the Inquisitor has a set of rooms for their use

[Melca36]

You already know why your character did those things. What's to flesh out?

Because it adds to the game.

[Sanctuary74]

Not going to lie, picking our heraldry has me pretty excited. It's the little things.   

[CENIC]

The judgment sequences really appeal to me. I love the idea of being able to express my character's rationale for making a decision. In the previous games, this was lacking.

I'm a bit concerned about the "perks," however. I was hoping that which advisor you favor would not impact your gameplay options, as I plan to play a diplomatic Inquisitor who romances Cullen.

[Ophir147]

What's this about a heraldry?

 

Can... can we design it ourselves..?

 

If so, then Thedas had better prepare for the Dongquisition. Evildoers will learn to fear our crudely drawn penises!

[Illyria God King of the Primordium]

Might be the point, its probably visible from the Inquisitor's window, ever-present throughout the game.

What an awe inspiring idea - but sadly unlikely, as I remember devs saying that the breach continues to expand throughout the game, and if your fortress was too close it'd probably get swallowed up.  

 

Also, another Illyria fan!  Yippee (ends off topic discussion).  

[Allan Schumacher]

SO there's an area of squicky business when a magazine publication (and business partner) releases something that inevitably reaches the internet.  As such the ability to circumvent the price is pretty high, but it's an area of moral quagmire for myself if I see a lot of links to direct quotes (and also images) from the article.  Or offsite links to it, because by doing nothing I feel like I become complicit.

 

Try to discuss the details and the like without posting the direct contents of the article please.

[Sylvius the Mad]

Which is why it would be good to include a "don't want to talk about it" option. Obviously they can't include options that will make everyone happy, but I'd rather we have the ability to do so in the first place, even if the available choices aren't exactly what I had in mind, than to not have this feature in the game.

It would also be good for the game not to assume that the Inquisitor’s answers are truthful.

[BioFan (Official)]

The article vaguely mentions chantry people in val royeux. I didn't find it very oriented towards the Achievements. 

[BioFan (Official)]

*rolls eyes* I don't even... just.... how... no.
