The massive armour was a hilarious misfit. Every character immediately gained the shoulders of a gorilla. Hell, the size was the same for both genders.

I ended up equipping the Grey Warden mod with DA 2's armour models. Much better.

I can edit my PS 3 saves now, so if I want the Mantle of the Champion to be a higher level than the Regalia of Weisshaupt or vice-versa than I can.

[up]I actually liked that massive armors on women looked the same as on men.

As far as Mage hats go, I kind of wish mages wore helms with their robes like Magneto. My mage Warden wore the Helm of Honnleath with the Vestments of the Seer, and it looked pretty good.

The pictures for the class descriptions on the official site seem to imply that they can. Or at the very least they can wear the oconic Inquisitor helmet.

Speaking of which, have they said whether equipment restrictions are class based, stat based, or some combination thereof?

I believe they've said it's purely stat based.

So what, a mage can wear heavy armor now if they have enough strength?

You know, I'm actually hoping that they don't do the "only the player can equip new armor" thing from II. That got annoying, especially when I came across something that looked good but couldn't equip it to a party member.

[up]Uh, we already know they're not. Companion armor acts just like player armor, though the appearance is altered to suit their style.

That was one of the first things they revealed.

If I remember correctly, you can take the looks of an armor set and craft a set that's stats are suited to something else.

Do we know what qunari have instead of helmets yet?

No.

Apparently a Swedish IGN article featured a dev interview which confirmed that Varric is not romanceable.

Edit: And Laidlaw confirmed that the article was correct. My guess is that the two remaining LIs are Vivienne (has to be if the LIs are split evenly by gender) and Solas (his VA hinted at it).

Now I'm caught between FOUR L Is!!! Argh!

I feel bad for all the Varric fans who wanted to romance him, just like all the Joker fans who were disappointed in Mass Effect 3

I ordinarily wouldn't be upset at this, but the entire reason Cullen's in this game (and probably why he was in DA2) is pandering. Why couldn't they pander to the Varricmancers as well?

Though now I'm wondering if the original Bianca is alive. I don't remember if Varric explicitly said that she was dead in his little flashback in the comics.

I honestly don't feel bad for Varricmancers because they bordered on annoying. Cullen pandering aside, I'm still going to try all the romances.
