@icecreamorc 23 дня назад

@@SWreacts absolutely, at one point somebody in the Q&A asked if Solas would still be bald, one of the writers who has been on since Origins stated that elfs go bald around 1000 years old. Haha funny, then a lot of us paused and think back to Origin's the keeper at the Dalish camp, kept himself alive for hundreds upon hundreds of years with the curse he put on the wearwolves and the forest, he happens to be bald. The elfs you meet in inquisition at the Well of Sarrows they are elfs from waaaay back who go into a sleep and only wake to defend the temple, if you go back and check, they are bald under their hoods. Then of course you have Solas another elf that is 1000+ years old. Bald. Elf's just go bald around 1000 and it's from at least my knowledge having played 1-3 and read a handful of the books, is wholly consistent. Just amazed this series can surprise me after all these years with fun world building stuff like that.

@6thhistory 23 дня назад

My working theory for Rook 'wanting to avoid blood magic' is that it'll basically be like using Reaper tech. One or all of the Evanuris will be able to reach into your mind if you use the power of blood. The power of lyrium is separate, the blood of the titans, and therefore disconnected from them. Perhaps the blight began from the Evanuris trying to taint lyrium to assert full control over all magic. Solas's respect for the dwarves would make a lot of sense if this was the case. He saved them and their heritage by sealing the Evanuris away. Perhaps that's why he's so confused by Varric not caring about losing his 'stone sense' at first. This is why Varric is the only one who can potentially talk Solas down other than the Inquisitor. He is proof that just because the world can be changed does not mean it needs to be. Sometimes life should just go on as is, because it works.

@MolemanITA 23 дня назад

Good theory.

@angryvaultguy 23 дня назад

Still pretty bummed out tho because rook is us the player so we should have the decision to use blood magic or not like in origins and 2. Not really a rpg game if you can't roleplay as good, middle or bad, for me inquisition had this problem you are legit the leader of basically a religious militant group but you can't really make evil choices. Like how can a group called the "inquisition" not go bad? Also Solas states that blood magic isn't evil it's just magic like all magic, it's the users that abuse it so why not roleplay as a pragmatic mage that sees no issues with blood magic. Again bioware is taking the roleplaying aspect from us

@NoName-ym5zj 23 дня назад

"just because the world can be changed does not mean it needs to be" - Wow ... Something that can also be said about this game series lol

@illandreidelorpha4774 23 дня назад

Have they specified that blood magic is not available for Rook to use or have they just said Rook has a reason he wouldn't want to story wise, implying he could make the choice if needed?

@johnkisir1456 23 дня назад

@illandreidelorpha4774 one reason could be going into the fade. Solas says that he doesn't use blood magic cause it makes it harder to go into the fade or something like that.

@user-zw1kt4rc3d 22 дня назад

It's a shame they only made 3 abilities per character...Even in Inquisition 8 abilities weren't enough. I can't imagine how to play as a mage with 3 abilities. What's the point of having a big skill tree if you can only use so little of it? I was hoping for a unique mage specialization like shapeshifter, plant mage, blood mage or something like that. But for now they've just said the same thing we saw in Inquisition.Mage knight, necromancer, elemental mage. And again, 3 abilities... That sounds damn boring.

@2toottoot 18 дней назад

Even Mass Effect which they put some amount in this game from that had let use more abilities... I blame Mass Effect & Destiny for starting the 3player team aspect. I understand it for the compromise, but it doesn't work for everything.

@aceofblades6574 22 дня назад

I am so glad to hear that they're avoiding fetch quests/grind-type quests. It took me forever to finish Inquisition because I kept having to take breaks from it to avoid burning out, and it led to my experience of the game's story feeling very disjointed.

lol! you've never played the game... they have. and they've played the other games. you think they would know better than you do? let's use your brain cells, okay. You open up the pause wheel, and in the UI you can see the enemies resistances, weaknesses, vulnerabilities, etc. From that screen, you can also tell your companions whom to attack, and with what. in addition, you can coordinate your attacks to cause combos, such as the mentioned gravity well -> slow -> lightning. you coordinate and do all that from the ring menu. that is at they very least the same amount of tactical combat as every other dragon age. but i'd argue it's way more. they even said with increased difficulty, you'll have to use the pause ring menu function a lot more to ensure that you're targeting the right enemies (eg, the most dangerous, or the one that's weak to your element, etc.).. tactical =/= slow as fuck origins. tactical =/= overhead camera pause. you're comical. keep it up, you may go pro.

@noctoi 19 дней назад

@@Overlyopinionated-wl8jq If you're talking about the last part of my comment, you're wrong. There's no way to say it other than "you're wrong". They flat out told us that there are only two companions equipable at a time, we can't control them just pre cast for them via the pause screen, and that there are only three classes with three spec's each. I'm playing DA:O now, and I can assure you there is much, MUCH more control. FFS there's an ENTIRE tactical skill tree so you can be even MORE tactical lol. And Origins IS tactical gameplay. Look at the damn box. Sit down dude, you liking action gameplay doesn't make the tactical RPG veterans wrong. Your name is correct, I'll give you that, but without the "being correct" to back it up, you just sound ignorant.

The reaction in chat to them saying no blood magic is very telling, two games in a row without it. Especially considering the setting we’re in it would’ve been a perfect opportunity. Even with the lore reasoning I mean we have yet to see the severity as to why Rook doesn’t like it.. It better be a damn good reason too 😭. I’m hoping we see a variation of it in the Necro tree considering how wack that spec was in Inquisition.. P.S I love the dragon age series one of my favs i’m still very excited about this game I just wanted to see how blood magic could’ve been done especially with how pretty the game looks too and i just wanted to have my elf blood mage shadow dragon fantasy😔 🙏

@allison8949 23 дня назад

My guess is the reason Rook can’t be a blood mage involves spoilers, much like the blurb about why Harding can do magic of some kind. I think something happens that we don’t know about yet that changes up the rules of how things usually work somehow.

@dolcee-iy8kk 23 дня назад

@@celestialfang4370 In lore sense yes but it’s all on how they portray it. DA:I had horror, walking bomb, 3 wisps and the ability to have a spirit reanimate a body to fight on your side. Blood Magic in DA is portrayed as Blood Magic using your HP to fuel your spells, AOE hexes with blood (portrayed in DA:O), stabbing your self as portrayed in DA2, using ur enemies blood against them etc so in that sense, no blood magic is not the same as necromancy because they don’t portray it the same in game.

@utalotharingia 23 дня назад

yeah I love blood magic, but they seem to have scrapped it for whatever reason. Hawke's prattle about how bad it is in inquisition was especially annoying when he was a blood mage, lmao.

@Sasquatch_sightings 23 дня назад

@@celestialfang4370 I think in David Gaider’s non-canon short story where Dorian attends his father’s funeral, there is a line where Dorian comments on the irony of only being able to have the final conversation with his father’s spirit via blood magic, and this is part of a necromantic ritual So, while it’s been said, it’s only been said in a non-canon story. My guess is that it’s probably similar to the phylacteries that young mages have to make when they join the Circle. Technically yes it’s blood magic, but what the Chantry considers blood magic and what is academically blood magic have some distinctions, even if it’s a bit of a distinction with little difference.

Playing back through Dragon Age Origins has really shown me why I love this series so much. Yes at the end of every game we’re the hero; However, it’s about how far we’re willing to go to save the world that DA:O really stands out. You can be a true Paragon and champion of the people, or you can really do some evil ends justify the means type stuff. Blood magic is a big part of that, because why it’s seen as evil it’s just a tool like any other. It’s how you use it that counts. So I’m very personally bummed out that or mage Rook can’t make the choice to use it. Especially when we’re literally in the Blood Magic capital of Thedas! Hell, Hawk developed a hate for blood magic in DA: Inquisition even if your mage Hawk was a blood mage in DA2! Better yet Anders in Awakening talked bad about blood magic and you could literally tell him “But you’re a blood mage!” If you made him one. It was funny! My point is it should be our choice to use blood magic. It’s the end of the world after all. I’m sure there’s a lore/ narrative reason for it but I feel like that just takes our agency away from OUR Rook. Still looking forward to the game, can’t wait!

@kamkoqu 22 дня назад

I've been optimistic and more reserved about my feelings about the game but this is one of the first things that truly is turning me off, plus the max party of 3. If they reduced the amount of spells / abilities BUT increased the interactivity between them and basic attacks, I could see it still being fun and deep but even with Dragon Age 2's limited spell pool compared to Origins, it still managed to have similar feel and depth to it so I don't see why they're limiting Veilguard by SO much. We've lost 2/3s of what we used to have coming from Inquisition which had a system that was close enough to Origins while pushing more action. They should've just took that and turned the dial up to 11. It could still be good. I'll just have to see way more gameplay. I really liked playing Guardian's of the Galaxy and that had very limited abilities but even then it still had like 3 per Guardian with a party of 5 so that's still way more than Veilguard.

@spartandude0117 22 дня назад

In these types of games it’s very much is a “more is more” type of game. I don’t understand when they taper it back because it never works out. I want to be able to cast like 10 spells on the field otherwise it will just compound spamming. Like even just having two companions, that has always felt too restrictive to me. First thing people are going to bed for after this game is more ability slots and more companion slots, which should be a request before a new game is even out.

42:54 yes! Thank you! But how much a part of the story is the question???? I just hope we get to be involved with them and solas’ interactions! I want to make those choices!

So i was playing Origins and the way Sten is positioned in the character wheel, was there ever a scrapped concept of Sten trying to murder the Morrigan in her sleep where in a segment you are called back into camp to intervene? Sten is positioned right behind Morrigan as a family killer... Just asking.

What a ton of wasted question space that have very clearly been answered already in marketing or you could've searched up in half a second online. There were only a small handful of good questions. But man, the small vocal few of the DA community are so bad. 😂💀🤡 "Is SoLaS STiLl BaLd?!?" - Uh, yes. "WiLl wE hAVe ProNouNs?" - Yes. "Is THiS GaME OnlY TakInG PlaCe In TeVintEr?!?" - Clearly No. "IS CoNe OF ColD StiLl in The GamE!?" - No. "CAn We ROmAnCe EVerYOne EvEn ThoUgh YoU guYs HaVe CLEARLY Said we can do so multiple times?" - Clearly Yes. "WhAt aRe THe TatOoS on The faCes oF thE ElVen ChaRacTers In thE tRailErs?!" - Vallaslin, did you ever even play the games? "Is ThE INqUisiTor In ThIs GaMe EvEn ThoUgH yOu gUyS AlREadY coNfIrmEd it?!" - Yes. "CAn YoU Be sOmEOne OtHer THaN a HuMAn ROOK?! (Asked three separate times)" - Yes 3x. Far better questions that should've been asked could've been these (or at least questions I have concerning the game and more importantly, the actual story): "So, ethnically diverse Dalish elves seem to be a new thing in this game. Specifically, Bellara and Davrin who are both ethnically diverse Dalish elves that we've never seen before in any previous DA lore and content. Will they be given proper new overarching worldbuilding lore where we can see where the Dalish branched off of from their usual genetic appearances?" "Now that Tevinter is finally fully realized and is being shown to us for the first time, will we be seeing how integral and different the Black Divine and the Tevinter Chantry is compared to the larger Southern Chantry that we are used to seeing? Or will it be just a minor part due to the focus on Ancient Elvhen lore?" "Will Veilguard implement any large/important story beats from Awakening and/or the Descent DLCs? A simple yes or no will suffice if it's too much into spoiler territory." "A follow up question to the last one is, can we expect to see more about the Titans and Dwarven lore considering the return to the deep roads, Wardens, and how tearing down the Veil is awakening them across Thedas? Again, you might not be able to answer this one due to spoilers but it's a very good question to some major story threads leftover from Inquisition." "Regarding the tarot story cards that will be available to build world-states, how thorough can we expect it to be regarding our past decisions? Will it more or less be similar to the number of choices we had stored in the Dragon Age Keep or is it more compact? I'd be disappointed if it only involved a handful of major choices." "Regarding the 6 major factions that are appearing in this game, will each of them play a fairly major role in this story or will we see them being more so side story content for each individual companion?" "Probably can't answer this one without spoiling the game's ending but it doesn't hurt to try and ask. You/BioWare haven't been marketing Veilguard as the conclusion to the current Dragon Age plotline like say what Halo 3 or ME3 had done for their overarching stories. But should we be expecting and therefore treating Veilguard as the finale to this specific storyline set in the DA universe?" "Regarding the curated missions and map exploration. Will we be able to have moments to simply wander, explore, and interact with the people and locations within the major cities like Minrathous, Antiva City, Weisshaupt, Diarsmuid, and Nevarra City? Or are the missions much more streamlined and linear in approaching open world exploration?" Etc. 💁🏻‍♀

Theorycrafting... Lighthouse, could that be to describe maybe the "guiding light" for the veil. Like a real lighthouse helps guide and protect ships from crashing maybe it has meaning and uses for the Veilguard.

@SuperShackD 23 дня назад

Did they talk about the redesigned enemies? I'm curious if it was for lore reasons or if they were just feeling silly? Also I hope we can have bangs... I want a hime cut.

@prodtetch 23 дня назад

I believe Kala tweeted something about this: "They are creations of emotion, hence the nervous system visual. Previously, their looks were informed by the world, so something has changed" As for the bangs hairstyles, I'm pretty sure there will be at least one. The hair physics are sweet, I'd personally love to see bangs in-game.

@Seeker794 22 дня назад

@@prodtetchso why did the enemy designs actually change? Demons were manifestations of emotions in the previous 3 titles without too much deviations from one title to the next. They look silly having weapons, too. The enemies appear to only have 3 flavors, small, medium, and large. Difficulty scaling accordingly because of course big ones have the most health and hit the hardest, the little ones with little hits and little health. Despair demons command respect because they will wreck you harder than a pride demon. Based on what we can see so far, there's not much distinction between demons except how they're skinned. Venatori also leave MUCH do be desired visually.

@blaize2638 23 дня назад

The reason for 2 companions is for more intimate immersion? Wut that seems like they're trying to justify it in some way over having a real reason. I think the real reason is combat encounters are smaller and an extra companion would make these battles end too quickly. The same could probably be said for the lower amount of abilities.

@sonicbolto7 23 дня назад

Yes but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Focused more tactical gameplay sounds more interesting that button mashing and pretty lights imo

@blaize2638 23 дня назад

@sonicbolto7 the q&a said there is less tactics. They even got rid of the tactic camera. It's less about flanking and pulling aggro. The main tactic will be stacking abilities. That's what they said. I don't like that. That's a regression.

@lilceser11 23 дня назад

I'm guessing it's because in order to make the choice have significant weight, it would have required a lot of fleshing out that ran counter to some story bits that were more important. So i just trust them on their word here.

I wished to know if your Inquisitor was flirting with Harding and was supposed to go on a date with her in Tresspasser if there is any reference to that. Hearing Harding would be in a romance with another companion if Rook doesn't romance her already dispelled my hope she could be with the inquisitor if you didn't romance her.
