Nope no civil war. Just wanton assassinations and genocide to suit her goals.   

 

What part of "lesser of two evils" do you not get? And genocide? Hardly. Elves exist in Orlais, if there had been genocide, they'd all be dead. Tamp down the hyperbole a bit.

Alright I was being deliberately dramatic, you got me there.

You know, it'll be interesting to see the amount of power, keeps, banners, etcs we all accumulated will end up playing a role in our trial and how much the court will approve/disprove us?

 

Ex: If you manage to get max power and got all keeps, etc they'll comment of how "the Inquisition is reach beyond what was agreed upon" 

 

Here's hoping that some of you previous judgments will be mentioned too

 

Lastly, who here think that Skyhold will be invaded? Maybe this DLC will FINALLY have a fully repaired skyhold?

 

I'm cool. My power's over 9,000 anyway.

Lol guys there's no right or wrong. We all have our own pov and that's what makes DA special. We shape our story and share our views as fans with each other, sometimes learning from their pov or vice versa.

Didn't Gaspard have one of his minions set up the assassination of one of Celene's allies and his children, and then disavow any involvement with him afterward? This is the same family Thom Rainier murdered.

Perhaps. Though admittedly we should probably stop taking the thread down this avenue, heh heh heh. 

 

Does Bioware have up a link yet to their portion of the event? I missed the livestream and all my twitch links are... lost.

There was no proof Gaspard was involved at all in that. All we know is that one his allies set up an assassinations, whatever Gaspard was part of it or not is pure speculation.

I thought that massacre was just someone who wanted to curry favour with the 'rightful emperor' and simply hired Rainer to have them all killed.

Sept 8th is close. To close. So either they intentionally pulled a Bethesda and wanted to surprised us with a sooner than expected release date or the DLC doesn't warrant enough content to have a prolonged release date. But that's the cynical side of me. The other side of me doesn't care and will pay anything for this DLC because Solas...

I think it was said that they're doing it this way to give people time to have a post-game file to use. Playing Trespasser locks everything else down.

September 8th doesn't give you much time for anything unless you already have a post-game save or something very near to one.

 

I'm not complaining though, already have one. :D

Mark said it's comparable in size to Jaws and Descent.

In any event, all the DLC has been announced with only a short window before release (Jaws was announced one day before release, and Descent one week). Mike has said they're experimenting with how they reveal content.

What is there to experiment with? :huh:

How long in advance to announce and market new content.

Before the launch of Inquisition, they were providing a lot of information way ahead of release. With the DLC, they seem to be gauging fans' reactions from when they don't release any information until much closer to release.

Well, I can tell you already that announcing it on the same day's not gonna cut it. :lol:

They've been pulling that Bethesda move since Jaws of Hakkon. This is the first one they've announced more than a week before release.

Idly, with the Solas reveal and his story going on as the Inquisitor's story ends, I wonder if he will remove the mark from you?  That would be one way to complete the Inquisition's story, I suppose...

I wonder why, maybe it saves on marketing costs?

I think it's just to find a comfortable spot between enough advertising and not stringing people along for such a long time.

Most of their marketing is probably cheap ad buys and trying to get some of the gaming press to care enough to write about it; I don't think the amount of time between announcement and release really adds a whole lot of extra cost to the process.

They modeled a penis for one of the characters during development. It was apparently a good penis.

Also, the final Inquisition DLC will release on September 8, and Patch 10 (likely the day before) includes a golden nug that lets you export your collectibles (Skyhold upgrades, mounts, schematics, etc.) that you can download into all your other characters and a wardrobe so you can change your outfit in Skyhold.


Could you expand on that? A golden nug(like the one you can buy in Val Royeaux?) that lets you share your unlocked items across all your characters? And lets you change your Skyhold pajamas? Wha?

I think it's a couple things.

 

First, I would speculate that it's in reaction to people being upset about certain things in the PAX 2013 demo not making it into the final game. I'm thinking they regret letting phones into that theater. They don't want to set expectations for something they might not be able to deliver.

 

Second, they just want to see if the strategy works. Does the hype keep building when you announce/advertise early? Or does the hype peak at announcement, implying that's better to announce late? Or maybe the hype just plateaus anyway, justifying cutting the marketing costs.

Mike talks about it here.

That's basically all the "news" from the presentation (the rest of it was just reminiscing about Inquisition development).
