Dragon Age has always played it loose with continuity. Lelianna is a good example. If they have a story to write for him, they'll write it, with a throw away line or three if he died on your playthrough.

If the game does take place in Tevinter I could easily see Maevaris Tilani become a companion as well.
Sacrificing the Bull's team is such a bad choice, since later it leads to Bull going against you and dying too.
Yeah, I love that that choice has dire consequences, but it kinda feels like being rewarded for choosing the standard idealistic choice with virtually no downside.
Since like bringing him back again does a disservice to new characters they can come up with considering this isn't mass effect with the same character every time. Plus there should be at least one more guaranteed character making a come back from the previous party. A small cameo appearance I'd be fine with, but I would prefer him not as a party member yet again.
I am super excited for the next DA game after that teaser. I hope Bioware is keenly aware of what we all really want from the next game and that is obviously a Scout Harding romance option.
Yeah I've went back to JoH and this area is about 10x better than most of them but goddamn this combat is so comprised to fully enjoy, the tac cam getting stuck on terrain really hurts to play.
JoH and Crestwood are basically case studies in how they learned good quest design as they made the game.
we're past due for a female dwarf x female dwarf romance option.
I will never forget how fucking different that demo they never officially uploaded looked and how it tied the destruction into quests, burning the ships to stop Templars from invading a village and destroying bridges that archers were perched on never made it in.
The lore and fantasy aspects of the dragon age universe are all there, it's just a matter of not doing the classic Bioware 1 step forward on the complaint from the previous game, 2 steps back on a previous positive they somehow fucked up.
Agreed, those two areas are my favorites in the game. JoH especially surprised me.
I think it's great they announced this. I know many say it's to early but its more about sending a message to people of what the focus of the studio will be since that's been in question. Right now I look forward to Anthem, and hope for some Mass Effect news eventually.
But .. they're building on the world and story left off by the last game .. this is a sequel through and through. You can't just slap a new IP name on it.
I'm absolutely hooked on this storyline and the world, but yeah, I really hope they take a good long look at the combat gameplay and at sidequest design.
Honestly, I'd rather they be bold and give us fewer but better gameplay hours instead of trying to pad it out.

I hope they do that too, but something tells me that EA wouldn't like it. A lot of games nowadays obsess over putting 90000 hours in a game, regardless of the quality of those hours.
The important question is: how many of these are in EA's upper management.
True. Let's just hope enough as well to give that game the time and resources to be the game we deserve.
Not to mention Inquisition also sold extremely well. What a weird comment.
It's hard to get excited for a game that probably isn't coming till next gen but whenever it does, I'm in. Inquisition hasn't aged well but it's still a good game and I had a lot of fun with it at the time. Just please have more engaging combat, better quest design and better level design.
Casey Hudson said at TGA's last night they are working on two other projects along with Anthem I would think the other is Mass Effect but who knows...
who else would kill solas?!I just want my main homie to come back for all my ENCHANTMENT needs! Bring back Sandal.
If it ain't me, I'd be glad if Sandal was a party member and wrecked shop. Ever since DA:O, during the climax, I knew he was on some other shit.
Hope she's the first (real) female dwarf romance. She's just too adorable.
To be fair the series as a whole pretty heavily suggests never making a deal with the Qunari as a whole. It always backfires cause they just don't care.
Also can't wait to crack some eggs :D
That would be really dumb since the worldbuilding and lore is one of DA's strongest assets. Also they already have a new IP.
There's actually some lore speculation packed in here for hardcore fans to glean; such as the 7 orbs circling the Red Idol representing the 7 locked gates/ 7 Old Gods / 7 Blights, with 5 extinguished and 2 still lit. Then there's the Red Idol itself and who the elf on the left is, and the blatant confirmation that this game will be about Solas as the prime antagonist.
Beyond all that, an actual confirmation the game will be made reassures fans and shuts up all the concern trolling about BioWare's future after Anthem, as you said.
So actually, this trailer is exactly what a lot of people needed/wanted.
Edit: On closer inspection the elf on the left is definitely Solas BUT STILL

Sandal is almost definitely part-ancient elf. The fact that he shows up in the Fade TWICE in Inquisition is definitely something, in any case.
For recurring characters, assuming we really are going to Tevinter, I want to see Fenris, Dorian, Krem, Sten, Maevaris and my girl Calpernia! I'd also be delighted if they brought back Nathaniel, Carver Hawke, Sigrun or Zevran.
its hard to have much faith in bioware these days, but if this can be 5% of the quality of DA Origins ill be thrilled
I feel like that's more on Dorian bouncing super well off everyone :P
Outside of him and Viv, I was pretty down on the Inquisition cast as a whole though. Occassionally some good banter, but not terribly interesting characters for the most part.
I really find it fascinating how people react to different characters in games. I absolutely loved Sera and thought she was hilarious and on the opposite end I simply could not (and still cannot) stand Alistair.
Her interactions with Solas were great too.
I really want to ask Kristjanson about Sera one day, she has a shocking amount of reactivity towards the player ignoring her and she's the only companion that you can outright dismiss.
