I'm excited by what seems to be the new specialization -- I love tree-huggy magic. And while she doesn't display a lot of nuance beyond "Vengeful Human-hating Dalish" in these few seconds of dialogue -- it's a FEW SECONDS of dialogue!



I don't think she particularly resembles Morrigan. And Morrigan is hardly a passionate and rage-filled defender of beloved family members, is she?

Just add my voice as well being a player who really enjoyed my playthroughs with Dalish Wardens (and I'm really looking forward to a Dalish mage who has nothing to do with the Circle, and isn't an apostate hiding from Templars, will hopefully bring a very different perspective on magic), and I'm looking forward to how they will interact with Velanna, and possible expansions to Dalish/Elvish lore etc.



Also in reference to the hair, it will be a situation easily rectified if you dislike it with mods already available (I've used on popular hair mod to change Morrigan's hair to what I see as a more Morgan Ley Fay look :-)) so it shouldn't really be a problem.



And agreed with distinguetraces above, it's a very short snap-shot of her, so we can't really know if she's going to be with anger and hatful person throughout the game (Leliana's trailer was somewhat deceptive in some ways in Origins, seeming to indicate she was a complete nutjob)

I get it, Bioware has a thing for grannies :P Wynne's coming back, in elvish form...

I'm starting to loose my hope for a decent looking young and possibly romanceable lady in Awakening... please prove me wrong Bioware. Please.

This. Honestly, it's time for Bioware to pull out a lady that wears more than a deep cleavage slinky dress and waves a stick around. In Ferelden women can definitely be warrior, I don't see why keeping the playable ones as mages.

Hopefully we'll get a female human (and young) warrior as well. It'd be about time.

velanna really didn't look old to me imo, but a warrior female is needed to show a strong woman.

About time? The game just came out. It hasn't even been out for half a year, we have had multiple DLC's and an expansion almost upon us. Velanna doesn't look old either. She has blonde hair and a young voice.

Young voice? You might want to watch the trailer again. That's definitely a granny voice, while high pitched.

Also, this doesn't look young at all to me.

if we look at the female companions in Origins, two were mages, one was a rogue. First female companion in awakening is a mage. It's 4 light characters and zero tanks. It's quite enough to say that "it'd be about time" to have a female tank.

It's hard to judge things from one screenshot of her, particularly as she's in shadow in that shot. From what I can see she doesn't look old, just slightly gaunt (possibly going with the idea that she's been part of a rag-tag band of Dalish trying to eke out a living, perhaps just her sister and a few others, were food might be scarce at times). But like I said, hard to judge from one screenshot or video (she didn't look old to me in that video) so I'll wait and see, a number of vids for Origin characters were misleading in some ways if you read to much into them, I suspect the same is the case with Anders, Velanna and the others to follow.

I couldn't agree more.

Indeed, just look at Ser Cauthrien, female warrior in heavy armor wielding a two-handed sword. <3. 

And I killed her. :innocent:

There is a way of letting her live and still getting the Summer Sword from her.
I usually kill her the first time and see her later on just before the Landsmeet and talk her down so I wouldn't have to kill her again.

Like I said, a female possibly romanceable WARRIOR would be awesome. In the vein of Ser Cauthrien, a tough broad who doesn't take s---t from anyone... But, unlike Ser Cauthrien, isn't a complete tool.

Awww, she wasn't a complete tool, she just like many people in the world believed in someone too much, as a leader you can only hope that those supporting you will have the courage and intelligence to stand up to you if things go *off*  She believed too much in Loghain to be able to speak freely, so this, yes, is *not good* 

That said, I liked her. I would love a character like her.  Even when you don't agree with her, you have to admit she would be great in a party off killing something. 

How do you get the sword without killing her?

*injure* her first at the Queens rescue, get the sword let her archers *injure* you. Fort drakon follows on.
She reappears in landsmeet after Loghain came by to patch her up. (Her codex is fine aswell)

Included some RP.Image IPB

They managed to beat Andre's trailer, lame-wise. Nothing said about the character other than "oooh I'm so angry.. and just look at my ti*s! They're HUGE!"



I suggest you fire your trailer-making crew. Those After Effects titles look like 10 year olds made them anyway. HIRE ME!

I just hope that Velanna isn't as much like Morrigan as she appears.


Given that she's show actually caring about the welfare of another person, I'm not sure how she's like Morrigan at all. She even has *friends.*

lol Wild speculation time. Maybe she's Fiona's daughter, since she's obviously not Fiona herself!

Would work, except a child of an elf and a human is always human.


Sandtigress maybe operating under the wild assumption that a woman can sleep and have children with more than one man in her lifetime.

I really hope she is just mad at some humans and not all of them. Otherwise I imagine it's going to be one of those things were at first she resents and dislikes my PC because he is human and therefore in his spare time draws up Dr. Doom like plans to hurt the poor little elves of the land, but over the course of the game learns that not all humans, elves, and dwarves are a like and learns a valuable lesson about friendship and life.

I hope she's mad at all humans. That way we can get identical 'humans suck' tattoos like me and Jack did.

And then it will be like 80s cartoons, with all the characters getting together at the end of the game and telling us what we learned today and making some silly joke and laughing.

She can try all she wants, she will never be as enticing as Morrigan. I need something that could really challenge my faithfullness.

When Cauthrien impeads your escape after rescue-ing Anora, go ahead and kill her (and loot her corpse for the Sumer Sword). But then let her guards kill you afterward. You'll be captured and sent to Fort Drakon, escape the Fort. When time to got to the Landsmeet, she will be waiting for you at the enterence there. You can then either fight her again (thus getting a second Summer Sword) or talking her down from fighting you and she will see the evil that Loghain has done and she asks that you have mercy on him and thus leaves never to be seen again.

Given she's not a love interest, I'm not sure why you want her to challenge your faithfullness to the lady that dumped you butt and ran off with your kids.

I think the voice is Grey DeLisle. That's good. I've liked her since I've heard her as Jeanette in Vampire: Bloodlines and KOTOR 2.

Is it established that she is not a potential love interest?
Meeh, she doesn't have to be in order to be enticing and challenge my faithfullness mentally Image IPB

As for the Morrigan issue. Patience. All will be fixed in future expansions one way or the other. Image IPB
