Dragon Age

Spirit Blade's probably still usable, but far too gimmicky for me to bother with anymore once I get a PS 4.

Livid on the other hand has the potential to be extremely good for single player.

I heard something about the new outfits. Someone said that each one refers to a different Love Interest or something???

Kind of disappointed by the variety of outfits. On one hand, some of them look cool and others are obviously recolors. But, after nearly a year of fans coming up with REALLY creative designs without so much as having multiple models to pick from. : / Kind of disappointing.

Also a bit disappointing since I don't think there are any to reflect, say, a Qunari or Dwarf Inquisitor. Would have loved to see some traditional Dwarven Formal Ware or some Fearsome Qunari Open Chest.

Anything hidden in the Patch Files for Tuesday's DLC???

Massive spoilers from what I hear. Obviously I didn't pry.

Got a link???

I didn't pry.

Well guess it's time to switch the show spoilers setting to off.

NEW ACHIEVEMENTS.

There seem to be around 3 or so for Trespasser specifically and none of them are particuarly spoiler heavy. The last one reads 'Forever Marked' and just says to further the story.

However, there are a set of schievements based off of the Major Arcana Tarot Cards. They are challanges for the base game such as 'Get to Skyhold before or at Level 5'.

Here be the datamined spoilers.

As for the base game achievements, they seem to be adding in a bunch of challenge modes.

Oh shit, that one picture.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but until a see a let's play of the Trespasser DLC I'm going to have to leave the thread.

The picture is seemingly of the female model, either human or elf... There's going to be a MASSIVE OH SHIT moment if there isn't a male, dwarf, and qunari variation

... why is that mesh spoilery?

^ Well, it seems to imply that they lost a hand. I'd say who 'they' is is unclear but I guess the Anchor was in that hand wasn't it?

The sleeve is pinned to above the elbow. Its not pushed up, its pinned. The Inquisitor is likely to be getting an amputation. If I had to guess, it'll be at the end of the DLC or, at the very least, where there's no combat for the remainder of the DLC. I say that because ALMOST ALL combat animations require the left hand to be used to some extent; the Inquisitor uses their left hand to hold Shields, lift their heavy as shit Two-Handed Weapons, to draw their bow back, and to use their off-hand dagger. The mage uses the left hand for Knight-Enchanter Animations and a good portion of their auto attacks, though new animations could work around that.

Correct. The Anchor is in the left hand. Some promo art showed it as the right hand, but its the left in game.

Unrelated to the DLC, but what is this thing◊?

It's just floating in this unreachable place in the Approach.

I... actually have no idea.

Huh... looks like you found the Holy Grail, after all. I think you should call King Arthur from Castle Aaargh.

CORRECTION! There is a mesh for all Genders and Races that features the sleeve pinned.

That... would be an AWESOME twist. I wonder if it'll be optional? My archers would rather die than let anyone take one of their arms away, but the others, yeah, they'd probably go for it. I wonder how casting spells is affected by the loss of an arm?

There's also apparently a wedding dress for all races.

And swimsuits?

And here's an outfit mesh list from the Patch too.

Armor_heavy is repeated several times for Legion, Arcane_Warrior, Alchemist, Bloodmage, Reaver, Keeper, and Westhaupt .

There's a model for 'Solas_hooded' and 'Solas_hoodless'.

There's also 'heavy_' repeated for the following armors; arcanewarrior, bloodmage01a, divine (Probably Cassandra's Divine Armor?), legionaire01a, reaver, wasthaupt_mas01a.

'light_' is repeated for the following armors; alchemist01a, bloodmage01a, bloodmage01a_light, divine (Vivienne's Divine Armor???), keeper01a, wasthaup_hvy01a, wasthaup_hvy01a'.

These armors are listed with no heavy/light connotation. Most likely clothing items; swimsuite and wedding_dress (!!!!)

The last one reads 'item_app_armor_formal_wear_armless' so the amputation is all but confirmed at this point.

There are a bunch of repeats of the same endings with variations on heavy/light and etc, so I won't repeat them. There's also a section that details 'inquisitor_dress_03'. No idea what it means. They're all prefaced by 'bdy_' and then df, dm, ef, em, etc. I assume they're formal attires for the various Inquisitor races, but I'm curious as to if this means we're getting a new 'dress'? Its listed as both an item AND a crafting schematic so...?

The listing of 'westhaupt' made me think of Weisshaupt Fortress, but its not spelled correctly. Then again, the files list one with an 'e' and another with an A (Westhaupt vs. Wasthaupt) so it might just be file names that aren't spelled properly because, well, who cares how its spelled in data, right?

End of the Inquisition beach party?

Have these new achievements shown up for PC? I'm not seeing any.

I think it was just the Xbox as usual.

Also, I guess people who drank from the Well won't get much of a choice if Solas is the one taking the hand.

Assuming its a choice at all. Though, he, I suppose the mummified hand of the Inquisitor could appear in future games

New Multiplayer Characters too? The Saarebass? They're model is in the game. Odd... mask helmet thing. Looks like they're female too.

I'm going to be honest...

I CAN'T FIND THE FUCKING GOLDEN NUG ANYWHERE! WHERE IS IT?! I'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE IN SKYHOLD!!!
