Feel free to add stuff that you think might be significant in some way. I'll try and add images to go with the post ASAP.
Also keep noting the stuff you see in the Eluvians before the scene cuts. It's pretty interesting.
(Edit : I realize upon completing that it's become a wall of text already, so I'll refrain from adding images as that would make the post even longer)
00:11, the female Qunari. She's holding a sword but has something that looks like a thick tome strapped to her left arm. Lead me to conclude that she might either be one of the Ariqun, or from some new Qunari faction all together. Note the red ropes/ threads in her ensemble.
The thing with her, which unless I am very very wrong has to be an Ogre. Which she seems to be controlling through some kind of magic. Note this because it can potentially tie in later with how Solas is involved.
00:29, dead (assassinated?) dude on floor. I don't know what the markings on the armor indicate. The armor design can either be Orlesian or Qunari, I can't really say. The brown bit of the armor almost looks like crocheted /sewn straw which is a little strange.
00:33. Weird looking level. At first galnce it looks underground, but notice the ceiling has stuff on it too, as though it not really a ceiling but an upside down floor. Note the statue in the center of the 'ceiling'. Looks like the winged Mythal statue we've seen elsewhere, so the ruins are Elven in nature at least. Also note the big red 'egg' thing in the center of the floor. Is that a dragon egg? Note the ruined 'towers' in the background. (reminded me a bit of Prince of Persia from 2008, loved that game)
00:36. New enemy types? Almost certainly Qunari. The one who comes out from the Eluvian lasts looks like a Sarebaas. Can't make out the place in the Eluvian, but there's a statue of what seems to be a woman standing on a pedestal above the arch.
00:38, new level. Cassandra knocks down some enemy that looks pretty similar to the dead guy at 00:29. Maybe. Maybe the guy wasn't assassinated but an assassin himself and was killed by the Inquisitor / companions in a cutscene.
00:39. After what are clearly Qunari enemies, notice the statue/ tree far in the distance in the background, above the Eluvian. It has horns / branches and looks distinctly Elven. However it also seems to bear a resemblance to the statue in this piece of old concept art, though I'm betting that's a coincidence. And of course you'd be blind to miss that dragon flying in the air.
00:41, in the Eluvian, looks a bit like Kirkwall. Is it Kirkwall?
00:42. New place, this one's clearly underground. Can't make out whatever was shown in the Eluvian at all.
00:42 to 1:00. Quizzie having a breakdown. And the voice actress doing a bang up job of it I must say.
1:10, seems to be an ancient Elven ruin by the look of the tiles on the floor and the mural on the wall. Can't make out much else.
1:11, at first I didn't know what to make of the bright (electricity textured?) guys, but then I looked closer at the dude at 1:12, and that has to be an Elven bow and the character might be the spirit of an ancient Elven God/ Goddess. Has to be.
1:14. Quizzie being badass and sticking it to the Man.
1:19, forget the trapdoor and look at the mural in the background. Looks a lot like a Lizard doesn't it? On the other hand it also looks a bit 'darkspawnish'. And the wavy lines. Are those waves?
1:20, statues of big Qunari fighting statues of someone else.
1:22, dude in center, same as the dead assassin at 0:29, so we know for sure now they're Qunari agents /assassins.
1:28. Notice the dragon. Notice that he has red ropes draped across its face and neck. Mind blown. It's the Qunari chick from earlier in the trailer. So we have a Qunari chick, who wields a sword, controls ogres and can also shape shift into a dragon. I miss my Arcane Warrior spec.
1:41 Solas in badass robes. In front of an Eluvian. Deja vu anyone? Why do I have the feeling that we'll get a bunch of enigmatic non-answers from him ala Morrigan at the ending of Witch Hunt? Right after which he'll probably take the Inquisitors who romanced him with him and leave the others behind after which the DLC will end. And this is only reinforced by ML interview.
Edit2: Forgot to add why I thought the Ogre thing might tie in with Solas and other ancient Elves. As some of you might have read in my other posts, I subscribe to the theory that the taint is something that the ancient elves created on purpose, most likely to make themselves more powerful, and then lost control of it, in the process tainting Arlathan which became the Black City. The Veil might've been created to separate it from the rest of the world. Any how back to the point, the Qunari controlling the Ogre leads me to the think that they are in some manner messing with the taint, trying to control it and use the Darkspawn. Which will obviously bring Solas scurrying to stop them before they do something stupid like the ancient elves did.
So tell me what you guys think.
