Do you all think this is something that Maric would have agreed to, so early in the story? I know they needed her help, but giving Flemeth Ferelden's eldest potential heir is pretty serious.
The thing is we don't know what was going on in that hut. I don't remember the exact details but at the time, Loghain and Maric were pretty much on the run with little support and get dumped at Flemeth's hut. They were in rather dire straits, so who knows what Maric would have potentially agreed to in that hut. I think it was mentioned that Flemeth and Maric were basically in there all night....so yeah.
I guess at the time, Maric's victory over the Orlesians wasn't a guarantee- given that uncertainty, maybe he agreed to give Flemeth a go?
Lets hope she shapeshifted into something pleasant for poor Maric's sake...

The problem is if you have that level of detail capable of showcasing it, then there is absolutely no reason not to show them off. I'm sure the game looks better than the screenshots (because anything post 2002 can easily say that), but I doubt it's going to be as 'striking' and super-hot' as they keep trumpeting. If it was, we would have seen it.
Yeah, I don't really get the logic in hyping everything up and then releasing those screens. I wish someone would ask Zeschuk that question. Its possible that they're working on things to polish it up and add some visual spice but maybe its not working well in the engine yet? I beleive they usually do that sort of visual polish closer to the end once they've got the everything else working well enough.
But supposedly they'll be showing DA2 off at Comic Con this week, so unless its just a video or something people should be able to see how it looks in motion.

I can buy that and while the new look can be hit or miss with people it does appear different enough. Doesn't really help the weak technology part, though (and also makes it easier to believe there won't be much of change coming in this area)
If thats what they meant, they'll get scewered with reviews for DA2- IMO, if you look at the concept art for Origins, its all fairly unique and striking. The problem was that very little of that unique visual look translated into the game- things got dumbed down visually seemingly because the technology couldn't keep up. And comparing some of the concept art for DA2 with the ingame shots, it looks like it has much of the same problems as Origins.
Hopefully once people see it later this week at Comic con, we'll have some reports on how its actually looking. Maybe it just looks horrible in screenshots but looks much better in motion? Time will tell...
