I couldn't agree with you more. I played DA:I at launch but dropped it when the grind became apparent. I am in the middle of a playthrough now, ten years later. I have to say, I like it way more than I did originally. At its heart, it's a great BioWare game. The open world is the problem; it obstructs the narrative and pacing at every turn. Without the pointless filler, Veilguard has the potential to be something special.
I think it's possible that some of these faction representatives will act as as additional companions during major missions, but I expect they will be truly temporary and not controllable at all, simply a 4th companion that's fully AI. A secret companion could be really cool but at the same time when you are still recruiting companions past the midway point their development often feels lacking.
LMAO
I like the idea of wearing faction uniforms as casual wear because it's a visual reminder of our background, but fingers crossed none of them look like pajamas and we have at least two options to choose from lol
How do you know you hate them? We know virtually nothing about them yet.
To be fair that was far from a cameo lol. I don't think forcing a dead character back to life is something they'd want to replicate either. But I also think people are dooming too much at this point about "quantum" characters not coming back, Bioware has never shied away from that despite people claiming otherwise.
I mean, you don't need insane detail to cover the state of past companions. You just have a tarot card of each and say whether they're alive/were romanced. That's all you really need. A few may need an extra choice, like if Cole is more human or spirit, or if Carver/Bethany is a Warden, but people are making this out to be much more difficult than it actually is, or like it would take up much more time in character creation than it actually would.
I'm sorry to inform you that 2 has the same problem. If you have them on steam, there are some community controller layouts you can easily download that do a decent enough job, it'll be clunky though.
I mean, you can see Qunari banners in the Antiva shot from the DA Day teaser, so it's pretty safe to assume they'll be there:
It is. We've seen a player icon with a Rook chess piece symbol.
If so will make being a Qunari Mage all the sweeter. I want to rub that shit into both the Qun and Tevinter's face.
Curious if BioWare will add some class/race specific dialogues and comments from npc's in regards to your character is a Talvashoth Qunari mage
I would be shocked if they didn't. While DAI was a bit light on reactivity even that game did have a number of instances where they reacted to the Inquisitor if they were a Qunari Mage. The biggest issue with that game was that the original intent of the game was to star Hawke again when it was just a big DA2 expansion, not sure if that carried over when they decided to make it a full on new game, but it wasn't until they got approval for the delay from 2013 to 2014 that they went from a Human only Inquisitor to all four races. So while they added in some reactivity based on your class and race it was pretty minimal since for most of development they were just building everything around a human only lead.
I think I'm going to enjoying kicking the followers of the Qun's asses just as much as I am the Tevinter magisters'.
Yeah would be cool if Taash is Tal-Vashoth and not just a Vashoth that grew up outside of the Qun like the Qunari Inquisitor did. Having a companion that actively left the Qun after being raised in it and opposing it would be far more interesting than if Rook were since there's only so much detail they can have. Especially because Taash is a warrior and the Qun doesn't allow for female soldiers, only Ben-Hassrath agents. And Taash seems much too brutish/wild to be Ben-Hassrath.
Oh, damn, I never noticed that before! Good catch!I mean, you can see Qunari banners in the Antiva shot from the DA Day teaser, so it's pretty safe to assume they'll be there:
I've been replaying Inquisition on PC for the first time in 10 years and its wild seeing characters from Origins in such high fidelity. Gonna be crazy to see some of these people in even higher fidelity, especially with Frostbite's strand hair system.
Aye.
Yeah they do all sorts of different stuff for forced re-education. Qamek is basically a lobotomy/tranquil poison/potion they sometimes use.
They've said there's some special reactivity to dwarves in the Mournwatch because of their lack of magic, so reactivity to a Tal-Vashoth ought to be a given assuming you can actually be one. It sounded like when you're selecting race there's some extra stuff like being able to choose if you're a city elf or Dalish, independent of your faction, so hopefully Tal-Vashoth is a possible Rook background.
Its one of these creepy celebrity cults and they got poor Felicia Day and Freddy Prinze Jr. roped into it.
It will be interesting to actually see a Qun community. I doubt we'll be going to Par Vollen but maybe something on Seheron, or more likely Kont-arr. Not sure how representative Antiva City will be since it's more so occupied territory than fully incorporated. All we've gotten is info from adherents removed of context and then reports of the worst elements of the Qun from others. We've yet to really see the appeal of it and it does seem like a lot of people do like it as some Thedosians remained followers of the Qun after their initial invasions were rolled back.
We know enough about them though at this point that I think I'll pretty much fight them tooth and nail either way.
Yeah, though I will change gender at times just to do something a bit different
