Watchman Gaming is a channel devoted to explorations of lore: the fictional people, factions, nations, creatures and others that inspire and tickle fancies. Starting with Dragon Age, but by no means stopping there, I'm here to talk about the worlds that have captured my imagination.
I have also delved into reviews and discussions of game news on occasion.

Honestly this is pretty silly.
I now see why so many people wanna live in Night City.
Lol. Australian Rules is a derivative of Gaelic Football, using an oblong rugby ball instead of a circular ball. It's much less violent than rugby, moreso now that "marks" are heavily restricted. (A mark is catching the ball with your feet off the ground. It used to be that the best way to do that was to jump up the back of any opponent also reaching for the ball. That's now banned for OHS reasons.)
The sheer amount of games or other media could be made from this world is staggering
I'm really glad that the Australia of our timeline has nothing to do with this. Currently South East Queensland is only dealing with a massive cost of living crisis and housing availability crisis because so many people are moving in from the country because there's nothing else to do and nowhere else to go and all of the rich people are moving out of Sydney suburbs up to Queensland. The homestead are available often have a decade old mattress and at least one type of a mould problem if not several that leave the unit on fit for human habitation. I really wish cyberpunk would stop being so prophetic.
Literally just saw this movie.... Simply.. if you can believe this... "I heard Cas had a ponytail in a DA movie" that's all it took.. & now here I am. Thank you for the connections to DAI, it's always fun to get an easter egg. Thank you for all the hard work & content.
Who is that dying in the background at 1:32:55 😭😭😭
My former roommate! We both had COVID during this recording, I recovered first.
@@WatchmanGamingLore Glad to hear you guys are okay! Great video by the way!
I'm not e big fan of Pondsmith's Cyberpunk, but this was some great content
Yeah, “Knock Knock” is Blackhand. He has to be, or else the world is lost.
If reddit existed in this timeline they would be low key Arasaka fanbois , but they would keep up a larp of opposing them so badly that they end up benefiting them.
excellent from start to finish. thank you, i enjoyed how you explained the story. cant wait for wf 1999!
That was wonderful. I fell in love with Night City in the 2020 citybook. Crazy to think of all that's happened there, and she keeps right on going... churning humans into paste and crushing their spirits... in tje most awesome way possible!!!
22:21 what was the bargain and who was the eldritch being?also where in the story/expansions does this video get to
more more more thx dude
Arasaka sounds like Samsung ngl.
Love these long lore videos to help me fall asleep ! Good stuff, great narration
Good to see Fenris doing well and have his own KZread channel 👌
for me it all started when Edgerunners broke my heart. now i'm up to my ears in Cyberpunk, and i'm still hungry!
Night City is a libertarians utopia
Wow, there is a lot of lore! Time to go into a deep dive 😅 Well, since I've already started to sink it the main story I guess it's time to jump in.
Time dilation wise I expect things will progress along like the "Forever War" series by Joe Haldeman, when it comes to things back home. The potential of that alone has me very interested in this series, just returning now and again and finding a radically altered society every single time, not just technologically but socially, politically, environmentally etc. I really hope they do that aspect justice because there is so much potential there.
In that creepy blighted tainted land. Western Approach. There is a very large sinkhole. I wonder if there are darkspawn ld Dragons beneath it? 🤔
There were so many dwarvern places we couldn’t trabel too in the deep roads. Possible with mage’s ice dash. But you just respawn sadly
🥰omg varric so totally adorable cant wait happy they kept him wouldn't be the same without him🤭 cant wait for this game
Why is this video on the app not available in more than 480p? And only if I switch to another account, I can get at least 480p, settings for quality are greyed out and can't be opened. On another account, it's similar but instead of 480p, it shows "unavailable". On this account, the video is only in 360p and 1080p Premium which requires the Premium subscription. In Firefox for Android, I have the options 144p, 360p, 720p and 1080p.
Really need a EU one
I fell in love with the egg bigtime
Man hearing my name multiple times in United Korea part feels weird lol
arasaka is the new tokugawa
Nice to see you back! Hopefully the next video touches on the CEMK! 😉
Don't care about story or lore at all #SkipCutscene. Hyped for the actual gameplay & new sub classes.
Tbf China and America can be natural alllies
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.
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 :)
What's the core difference between being "vashoth" and being "bas" or "basra"?
I think Qunari would consider Vashoth to be Bas, just specifically descended from members of the Qun/ Tal Vashoth
@@WatchmanGamingLore That makes sense to me! Ty! I'm running a very Qun-centric Dragon Age campaign rn so that info helped
only one thing to say about this place: Welcome to Hell
This looks like a BG3 knock off. Watch DAO cinematic and then this cinematic and see what's missing
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.
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?
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.
This all looks extremely promising I hope they don’t flub the development. I’m really excited about this
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.
Getting sha-brytal repeating crossbows would be epic in dai
The voice-over has a very late 70s Charlie's Angels kind of vibe. Nicely done ;0)
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
Looks like a mobile RPG. And also the action combat happens by players directing but here it's so obviously locking on the closest NPC. It looks trash, let's see if it is also plays trash
can you really topple ancient statues so easily?
If it’s barely being propped up by a precarious scaffolding as in this case, sure
spirits weren't supposed to be empty weird lookin armor, they were living beings.
Finally, the harding romance I've been yearning for
Is the music played in outro from the inquisition soundtrack as well? It sounds so nice.
Dragon Age 2 actually! “Destiny of Love”
