Sorry, I just thought it was an unusual remark given how blatant a lot of the asset reuse is.
It will be interesting to see what they do in future games, since they will be switching to PBR.
No worries at all (I'm not sure I really know what an 'asset' is, let alone a PBR, but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually)

But it's also a very common practice, and definitely not some sign of BioWare's specific breed of laziness.
Creating assets is one of the most resource-consuming processes, and even if they don't reuse assets of their own game(s), the vast majority of devs gets them from either contractors (working under different conditions) or from prefab databases (akin to stock photography sites), and then alter them to their needs.
If it happens within the same franchise, it's mostly at least somewhat consistent.
...except dat omnipresent Kirkwall Hard Rock Cafe logo, that is.

An element in the game, you might say. A 3D model, a sprite, in a broad sense a particle effect even. Anything that can be stored an reused without relying on an engine or an individual game too much.

Thanks - the reason I had mistakenly assumed that Frostbite 3 had started again was because,
well, Alistair and Loghain look different, and Morrigan is a, er, bit different, as was default Hawke.
I should check out a 'game design for dummies' website...
I got the automatic update on the multi-player. I'm not sure if the Black Emporium patch is already released. Did I miss something? How do we get to the Black Emporium?
PBR is a new type of Lighting technique that devs are starting to use. Chris Roberts and his Dev team went into detail about it in their Star Citizen videos since they started using it over a year ago.
I watched an interview with Chris Roberts on PBR last night. I learned more about the developments of 3D lighting and texture in the past twelve hours than I did from college classes. But the first handbook on PBR costs over a hundred U.S. dollars. Good grief.

lol yea, listening to Chris Roberts makes you feel like a total moron sometimes. But I wish more Dev teams do what Cloud Imperium does. Open development, show the fans how you made it, how you crushed the bugs, how you built that model etc. Their game and popularity of their method proves fans want to see that stuff.
So was the new update like a preload or something?

Pabst Blue Ribbon. Simply the best beer ever created *stifles giggle* by man, I tell you what!
Now can I make my Lavallen Inquisitor look like default FemShepard? That would make me laugh.
Better than walking around the Normandy in Blood Dragon armor, though that was pretty darn funny too.
In case anyone doesnt know, the Legacy Thrones are in the game and ready to be used.
Edit: Wait... its midnight, does that mean the free DLC can be accessed? Let me check...
Edit: Nope, damn.
Another update means more mod breaking. * sigh * But I'm not going to throw a fit over this inconvenience like last time, a work-around will eventually surface and everything will be dandy again.
I checked on the new thrones. But I still don't know how to get to the Black Emporium. I went to my bedchamber to check the desk. I travelled around Val Royeaux for representatives. So far there's no secret entrance in Skyhold, and I haven't done 'Wicked Hearts' yet. Nothing on the map has popped, and there's no notice on the War Table. So far nobody at Skyhold has said anything. Where is it?
If it cant be accessed due to a glitch, so help me...
Honestly, they should just call this game: Dragon Age: Glitchquisition.

The patch download is not the Black Emporium. That'll be downloaded tomorrow as a dedicated BE DLC download, just like the multiplayer DLC download was a separate download from the patch.

Thank you for being a lot more polite than I was about to be... 
All this hate for a bit of free content. ;O

Ah yes, "free". We have dismissed those claims.
I'm assuming it going to be more end-game items but I hoping there is items that are applicable for all stages of the game and yeah gold farming might be needing for getting all the items I want.
Still super excited though! can now change character's hairstyle & facial hair during course of the game like I did with Hawke in DA:2
*A method for farming that I use is;

That looks extermely boring and dull.
I hate it even more because I may have to do that.
Any ideas on what the Ferelden Legacy throne actually represents? It looks like an owl, but I assume it's a highly stylised depiction of a griffon considering the role of the Grey Wardens in DA:O (or maybe it's a bizarre Falon'Din reference?). Regardless, I like its look.

I don't actually like it much. Unless I'm missing something with the Black Emporium, it had four shops (helpful to get high level schems) but only one codex, no free items like the chest before, and no urchin you can poke. I'm so confused.
Do you already have access? Is it released yet or is that tomorrow? I am asking because I saw an udpate.
