Dragon Age

Eh. I don't mind that too much.

It's doubtful Amaranthine will be important anyway.

You could say that she... looks like a Keeper.

I do because that was one of my proudest moments in the series.

That was terrible. Creative, but no. :P

This video was... While I understand many of the comments as being absurd, some of them seem just a bit... asshole like to make fun of?

EDIT: Mark Darrah tweeted me back saying 'Might be a bug. Adding @Disco Babaloo'. Awesome. :)

EDIT 2: Got clarification

Fernando Melo: "there were bugs b4 so we defer to writers on what is valid - but on this yes, it's valid & you can do this on Keep"

Me: "I'm just making sure I understand this right, You can or cannot save both the Vigil AND Amaranthine?"

Fernando Melo: "you can. If you build up vigil to max you can save city & it won't fall."

So, both CAN be saved. Awesome.

Rion the Elementalist.

From what I've seen, the BSN has been better since the forums moved. Then again, I haven't really been looking at the Mass Effect subforums, which tend to be more volatle than the Dragon Age ones.

Apparently they'll be releasing a seperate, playable demo of the keep.

I wonder if it'll just be the full thing, or if some choices will be cut off? How do you make a demo for something like that, exactly?

I thought that tweet meant that bioware would release a video on their dragon age channel on youtube about the keep.

Oh. Maybe.

Never mind, then.

Anyone know if there'll be more DA:I stuff at PAX aside from today?

I really do hope there's an option that you saved Vigil's Keep and Amaranthine. I put a lot of work into that :(

They released a 15 min video of the Keep earlier so... I think they mean a playable demo thing.

From the video they showed, it has Varric narrating so I think that, by 'demo' they mean that only some parts of the Narration will be included.

That Bioware forum video reminds me of a similar video aimed at the Sonic The Hedgehog fandom during the wait for Sonic Generations. I wonder if this is the same guy.

You mean that kid that used "be quenched" in a sentence after calling Sonic fans "you frigging frigs"?

Huh, mispelling "Theda's" in legionnaire card and the mistake for first blight in reaver card. I'm bit worried whether anyone proofreaded mp cards <_<

And a ton of people are complaining about the Keep Art whitewashing some characters.

Oy vey. I agree with them to an extent, but I'm too tired.

Wait, which characters got whitewashed in the Keep?

Yeah, I'd like to know, because I didn't notice that.

I think people are saying Zevran and Sten?

.....really? I can't say about Zevran b/c I didn't notice him, but Sten looked fine to me!

I'm gonna need to see some screenshots. Cause I don't really want to go trawling through that video.

Sten seems to be a bit too pale in the "Did Sten get his sword back?" picture, but the other Sten pictures looked fine. Zevran looks too pale.

Well there's only so much you can do with that art style.

Eh... art style doesn't really restrict your colour choices.

Umm, didn't DA 2 retcon Qunari horn thing AND skin color?

I mean, every qunari after that game is pale as hell

BTW, speaking of weird qunari related things has anyone noticed that despite model for Sarebas with full mask apparently existing in pre release pictures, there is no sareebas with non broken mask thing in the game?

Sten was still pretty brown in the comics, and it's confirmed that playable qunari have more than one skin colour.

Isn't the Sten thing just a matter of lighting? His sword in the "Sten gets his sword" image is glowing, and if you look at the man in bright lighting in the game, he looks fairly pale.
