...you really didn't need to paste all of the replies.

No one cares, go away.

Theory: Those who have read the Calling have had a glimpse of talking 'Darkspawn' before. In the previous interview, it was mentioned that not only the Architect would be making an appearance; so would Utha.



And we remember what happened to her right? Might be a clue as to who the Disciples are.

[Wizbane]

Cool. And that ogre is just awesome, btw.



Minor disappointing things:

- doh, three more days for us europeans

- no alpha nugs spotted so far

[TotoroTori]

My Warden really can't get a break can she.....



How many Disciples are there I wonder, and here I was thinking they may have once been the Tevientor Mages....

[Manatel]

Intriguing. Hopefully the darkspawn won't be puny targets for merciless slaughter any more, and actually be a challenge.



Oh, and love their voices

I like these Disciples, I think having talking Darkspawn really makes things potentially more 'personal'. One of the failures of DAO was that the Archdemon really had no personality - it seems thats been addressed with the Architect and to a degree these Disciples.

That said, in the combat video featuring the first Disciple battle...



...he fights like any other generic (orange named) humanoid. So basically they are just Darkspawn upgrades with a  voice, rather than something with interesting new tactics (as with the Queen and the Children).

Equally annoying is the encounter composition of the Boss Battle:

The Withered
A Hurlock
Another Hurlock
A Genlock

Call me crazy but that encounter setup looks like a walkover. Indeed, in the video (and the player is far from using optimum tactics) it is indeed a walkover. I think they had to heal one character twice and there didn't seem any real threat of defeat. Instantly forgettable boss battle.

However, the visual design of the Disciples are very cool, so there are some plusses. The monster visuals are definately getting better with Awakening, now all we need is a bit more thought put into the mechanical differences of monsters and the composition of encounters.

Oh dear. If I'm going to climb that ogre to stab it in the throat...I'm gonna need longer daggers:unsure:

[darkmax1974]

Armored Ogre, Talking Darkspawn, Effeminate looking Architect.... Angry female mage, lying male mage, and a drunken male dwarf...



Things are going to be messy.





Just a thought... With the staff, the Disciples looks almost like a templar

[dunachar]

These dudes are the coolest bad guys of all time.............hopefully they are an enemy that are here to last.

That dwarf better lend me some of that ale, because I am going to be needing it with all these problems.
I am somehow thankful that I have no romance issues at the moment.....

I would guess it was on casual/easy so the npcs probably weren't using any abilities.

[Big_Chief]

Oh man, those things look really freaky and awesome. I continue to be psyched for Awakening!

[Kail Ashton]

Very nice, very nice indeed

[Wowlock]

They sure seems cool. Talking, intellegent darkspawn. I think they are evolving after these years.

The story behind them sounds more interesting now and they look more badass then a Hurlock of course



When I first saw them I thought they were improved version of darkspawn Emissaries but now it looks like they are a new group of darkspawn.



And Armored Ogre ! Oh man now thats a pain.

[Amagoi]

So it looks like the Architect isn't the only intelligent darkspawn? Hrm that's definatly not good for us lol

[Slarth79]

 Look at that ogre  my little daggers aren't gonna do much against that thing  Damn you Bioware, now I really can't wait  

[Bryy_Miller]

So we have to fight more than one of these dudes. Do we have to fight TWELVE?

The way the Disciples are introduced kind of reminds me of Legion. By that I mean they belong to a group that was considered the main enemy in both of their initial games, and now they have suddenly become intelligent enough to speak.

I don't get the similarities... lol slow one here i guess

[Dave of Canada]

After seeing this, I'm tempted to make an Orlais Warden for some reason.
