The old designs for demons were better. That is the only complaint I have worth mentioning.

@@mixedbypaygez I have hopes for the story and don't think it could be as bad as TLOU2.
Thank you for this breakdown, I was absolutely unable to keep up. It’s nice being able to have all of this info in one spot.
The art-style's growing on me. Can't wait for the updated Lore!
13:06 purple wings are Lucanis The demon designs, my headcanon is that since Solas said to Varric, he "took precautions to minimize the damage" this is what caused the demons to look unfinished coming from the fade being lesser versions of their usual selves
the return of the king!
Nice overview! And, your voice is perfect for audio. :-) I still play BG1, BG2, and DAO periodically ... so, a long-long-time fan. I'm extremely excited about this game. If what I've seen holds, this very well could be my favorite in the series.
Welcome back and thank you for a new content. That Game Informer article spoiled so much, that even I who normally fine with some spoilers have trouble understanding why they divulged so much. P.S. Not very fond of new demon design, lack of legs makes them less intimidating.
great video if I did have theories about the DATV 1. I think the Dragon in the trailer and promo image could be an unblighted Old God. i don't know if i fully subcribe to popular fan theory that the Old God=Elven Gods and I feel like a choice on wheter to kill or Save one is the perfect choice for a Warden mission. 2. I don't think Varric is dead but I do think by the end of the game he will reitre from adventuring and this is the last game he will appear in. 3. There's gonna be a secret companion of some sort but i don't think it will be Solas. There are 2 factions that have been set up in other media that don't get a mention, the Qunari and Solas's Agents. We've had a qunari Companion of some Sort in all 3 games counting Tallis which i do so i think it's weird we don't have one unless Taash also represents them.

Cool theories! I don't think the dragon is an old god though. It pretty much looks identical to normal high dragons from Inquisition. If it was supposed to be an old god I think they would have made it stand out more. The secret companion idea would be cool! Though I don't think Bioware has done that since DAO
Nice to see you back! Hopefully the next video touches on the CEMK! 😉
Is the music played in outro from the inquisition soundtrack as well? It sounds so nice.

Dragon Age 2 actually! “Destiny of Love”
I'm kind of surprised that I partially guessed correctly, back when Dreadwolf was first announced, about how the party will deal with Solas and the ritual. IIRC, I guessed that the party would spend all of Act 1 searching for Solas, only to find him at the end of Act 1 with the ritual already in progress. The party interferes, causes the ritual to malfunction, which in turn releases the Evanuris. This would allow Solas to enter into an enemy of my enemy is my friend role in the party. Looks like all that happens much earlier than I expected and the post ritual disruption situation takes Solas off the playing board in a much more heavy-handed way by throwing him in Fade Jail. I also thought all the surviving Evanuris would emerge, but looks like only two. At least Solas is staying true to character, by making yet another mistake that screws up the whole world.
I fell in love with the egg bigtime
Thank you so much for this video. I wasn't familiar with any of the Dragon Age comics, so i didn't know these companions were already revealed in the lore before.
A wushu taoist priest would be epic ☝️ He controls Vampire zombies that jump and strike with their claws and fangs. And he can fight with his sword and talisman papers
🥰omg varric so totally adorable cant wait happy they kept him wouldn't be the same without him🤭 cant wait for this game
This all sounds pretty good so far. The characters and their specializations seem to be really great! Of course I am very disappointed by the fact that they give us "3" button combat. Which is rather abysmal. But other than that I am fond of what I am hearing :)
Finally, the harding romance I've been yearning for
I get what you mean by waxy faces, might be a lighting issue more than anything else, but I'll take waxy over the lifeless and uncanny valley of Andromeda. At least they didn't make that mistake again. Did you happen to learn what game engine is being used? Is it still Frostbite?
Im soooo excited for asson ❤❤❤
I think I'm less concerned about how demons look and more concerned about the fact that the first boss fight is a lazy DAI Prologue Boss redux. Couldn't they come up with a different demon for the first boss fight? Does it always have to be a Pride Demon in a Rift destroyed landscaped? That actually could have been a great inside-joke callback if it had been set up to be a tough first boss, only to have Rook sneeze and one-shot the boss like it was nothing. That would have been worth a laugh.
The fighing style reminds me very much the fighting in V Rising. Besides two keys for a weapon (q, e) there are only 3 spells (abilities) including ultimate a player can use in any given fight. They can be easily reassign during short breaks b/w abilities used by bosses in fights. But at a player possible perish. A players can also easy change weapons. Cartoonish appearances are too very much reminds me of V Rising. I got mixed feeling about DA(T)V like you. I will buy the game and try it to check the lore at least. And agreed. 'The' in the title is not needed. Personally, i didn't like much any companion but i will see if their stories are interesting like it was in DAO or even in DAI. PS. I wonder if BioWare was influenced by V Rising game design that was in early access. PPS. Thank you for the video! I was hoping you will get one done for us and you did. 😊❤
We will have to see. I pre-ordered the pervious Dragon Age games (Big Fan), but this one I will hold out until at least a few hours of the game play is available on You Tube. DA Origins is my favorite game, enjoyed DA2 and 3. I hope it is just as good, but if its full of Sweet Baby inc (BS) ideology they can keep it. From the info I have so far it does not look like a game I will pay money for.
Can't wait for this game. But I'm definitely annoyed about Varric not traveling with me anymore. Pisses me off, but it's whatever.
You forgot about Manfred, Emmrich's skeletal assistant.💀
Demons without legs seem a rather stupid idea. They all look flying rugs as well as all alike. Which pretty much translates into: Non-threatening and uninteresting.
can you really topple ancient statues so easily?

This looks like a BG3 knock off. Watch DAO cinematic and then this cinematic and see what's missing
with these changes, it's not dragon age, simply since I saw that there will only be three skills and I can't use my teammates anymore other than selecting their three skills, it's a no for me.
Don't care about story or lore at all #SkipCutscene. Hyped for the actual gameplay & new sub classes.
All I'm saying is let em cook. We haven't even PLAYED the game yet.
As an origins, kotor, mass effect, bg1 and 2 fan I've gotten over the fact that bioware will never make a rpg game of that calibre anymore I just hope the story, writing and character choices make up for the crap design especially the demons and darkspawn i dont care about lore reasons it still looks bad and severe lack of rpg mechanics, also only three abilities at a time and no blood magic is abysmal. I used to like roleplaying as a spirit mage in origins that later falls for blood magic, but if i can't pick the evil option like in inquisition even though you are basically the leader of and religious militant group called the "inquisition" how can that not go bad, well its not really an rpg if i can't roleplay is it even inquisition had 8 abilities you could have at a time The whole purple thing feel more like a cyberpunk theme then a fantasy one

@@AulisVaara He wasn't defeated by a statue falling on him. He stopped it using powerful force and because his attention was diverted by our own character, the veil has freed the old gods and locked him physically in the fade but now you two are linked together to have to stop Elgar'nan and Ghil'anain from destroying the world totally. Solas might succeed with escaping the fade and because he's a god not of trickery but of compassion or wisdom also confused with pride and desire, he knows more about the veil and what's really happening with it because if the prisons were failing, that means the veil is failing

@@papacharlie-niner148 BG3 was also turn based and not clunky because if you played sorcerer, you couldn't rely on your actual weapon to do damage. In dragon age, it's real-time combat and you have to upgrade your staff if you play a mage to do more damage. Slow and clunky doesn't work with real-time combat style games ever
