Let's go to Weisshaupt!

[@Lethallan4life]

May every light you hit be green, your pillow always cold, your food perfect, your body healthy and your mind at peace for this video. I love the length, the editing, the minimal talking, good camera work.

[@maddisonwagner7653]

I will die on the hill that DA2 and Mass Effect: Andromeda had the best combat out of any Bioware game, so all this makes me soooo excited! It seems like the best blend of both. No more hack-n-slash button mashing, visual cool combos, character-specific squad powers, and helpful little 'on your left!' hints that makes the experience just that much more immersive and intuitive.

[@beaucole446]

I agree on DA2 but I feel andromeda had a flaw in it combat that put it behind ME2 and ME3 and that is that since you can use every ability regardless of class that get a little nerfed and that fact that you cant drop the cooldown by reducing your weapons like in ME3. But I will say I loved andromeda and the gameplay was good just 2 and 3 suit my tastes better.

[@YoungMrBlue]

DA2 did have flaws in its combat, mainly the durability of the enemies and the fact that everything you do including taking potions has a cooldown

[@loreofmetalenthusiast]

Nice to see a bit more of taash. Everyone showing up during certain stages of the battle even though you didn't bring them was also a nice touch.

[@ZarinuLoren]

Reminds me of ME2 Suicide Mission. Not as detailed of course, but I like it when all party is on the mission.

[@loreofmetalenthusiast]

@@ZarinuLoren yeah that makes sense 😊

[@TheErosinda]

Assan making cute sounds and all I'm doing is yelling PET THE BABY as you're idling lmao. I think 95% of my play time will be petting the baby.

[@loreofmetalenthusiast]

@@TheErosinda had the same thought. 😁 Assan: ROOK! ROOK! EYO! Rook! Pet me dammit! 🥺

[@Kat-qe1vk]

It looks so good! Also it's so funny to hear Davrin say "ballistas won't even scratch an archdemon" when that was THE easiest way to cheese the Archdemon fight in Origins 😅

[@FistOfFiori]

Yeah, my HOF was spamming the Ballistas while my party dealt with the darkspawn heading nearest to us, and the dwarves were tanking at the archdemon haha.

[@TheCrimsonOne508]

I didn’t even realize the ballistas were there my first playthrough. I had my canon Warden stand ang bang with the Archdemon lmao

[@mcpicklebreath]

thank you for bringing taash with you 💞 so glad to see more taash

[@kiwipops]

i love Antoine and Evka so much ;_; although I was kinda cracking up at 17:15 when everyone runs to hide behind the table and suddenly Antoine's hugging his knees like he's been there for hours LOL

[@B.B.Digital_Forest]

This is the kind of moment my HoF would have dreaded. Seeing the First Warden become so unreasonable when under heavy attack. I'm glad she would spend her days with Leliana than get mixed up in Weisshaupt politics.

[@MrOzzi18]

THIS WAS AMAZING!!! omg i can’t wait for the full release

[@YoungMrBlue]

“You call that nice and quiet!?” I think I love this game already

[@BelieveIt1051]

24:02 Taash: Ballista'd be useful against a normal dragon. Davrin: It won't even scratch an Archdemon. Urthemiel: 😥

[@pandabers]

That was puzzling to hear as well. I'm like Davrin what the fuck are you talking about. He also mentions the Calling is painful, but isn't the Call supposed to be just a song.

[@TheCrimsonOne508]

Finally, an animal companion you can pet

[@FadeSpiritz-e9g]

You were able to pet dog in DAO, afaik

[@YoungMrBlue]

You didn’t move tho He just rolls over Albeit that alone was adorable

[@giuliaguimaraes1361]

Glad to see Taash! She's my favorite companion so far

[@samflood5631]

I can’t wait to go to Weisshaupt in November, depending on my gaming schedule.

[@PauloRenato-is1xw]

loved the interactions with taash and davrin!

[@eebee8052]

the relentless wall is truly relentless, holy shit

[@kaelsozee]

ooh please post the mission with lucanis where you bust out of prison if you have it!!

[@samflood5631]

I can't wait to go to partake in the Battle of Weisshaupt.

[@danielgrafton93]

If there’s an archdemon. Then technically this is the 6th blight 🤷‍♂️

[@viniciuseduardobomfim]

But the darkspawn aren't acting out of their own volition like in they did in previous blights, Ghilan'nain is controlling them somehow. Actually it is the reason they look so different, Ghilan'nain is doing something to them.

[@benblack4778]

*everyone greatly approved*

[@laabitres]

Something tells me that if Solas had not imprisoned the Evanuris, Tevinter would have never existed

[@AndE667]

Yeah, the whole world would've been consumed by Blight. Apples and oranges...

[@beaucole446]

My money is on the actual Tevinter magisters were the elven gods Solus sealed away.

[@YoungMrBlue]

5:37 the banter! The haters are wrong about this game 24:04 also proof Davrin was not there to witness the archdemon fight in Origins

[@delicate_ostrich]

Thanks for posting this! Can't wait to play when it releases. Loved the banter during combat. I do hope there is a way to turn off the damage numbers in the UI.

[@XavierLiska]

9:13 only the OGs will know this line

[@YoungMrBlue]

Me the second it played: “Ah! Ah! He said it!”

[@lillacSwing]

This looks so intense! I can’t wait for this game

[@htaylor9677]

Just the weekend to get through now

[@daisvan]

Towards the end of the video there's an armor swap, does armor appearance not change or is it disguised by transmog appearance?

[@cypheroftyr]

I picked up armor after defeating a sub boss, and it was different to what I started with. If there is transmog, I didn't get to see it during our hands on time.

[@beaucole446]

The pre order and deluxe have "cosmetic armor and weapons" and I believe I hard about a transmog system in the game.

[@Daneplaysrpg]

Great stuff , keep up the great work

[@cypheroftyr]

Much appreciated

[@daisybunni]

good vid but why no ult

[@favlilnap]

GOTY game

[@YoungMrBlue]

Unfortunately it’s probably gonna lose to Astro Bot Hopefully a contender tho

[@favlilnap]

@@YoungMrBlue good enough for me

[@jamesdorsey7005]

Its doesnt look like The companions basic attacks do any damage. It seems theyre only useful for combos. 😮

[@muratahashira]

To be fair the companions in inqusition were only useful when switching to them. And they could die.

[@edzyoutubehub]

You got to level 30 in 7 hours? Or did they skip ahead?

[@im_azraelle]

the devs had the playtesters skip around a bit within Act 1 from what they've said, loading up pre-made saves at certain sections to play certain quests. from what i understand, in an interview with Corinne, she said they almost thought about ending the game after this fight at the end of Act 1 because it felt like a good finale and then they'd add on later with DLCs - but they decided they had way more story to tell and they wanted it all in the main game (using Trespasser as an example, she said she believes Trespasser shouldn't have been a DLC in Inquisition and should've been part of the main narrative). i think this is going to be a pretty big game. 80-100 hours at least to do most of the content.

[@ThatFont]

@@im_azraelle I love that they added what they’d consider DLC content to the main story 👀 Really hope they can work on DLC post-launch because this looks really cool.

[@im_azraelle]

@@ThatFont Corinne said they have no plans for any DLC right now because they want to make sure the main game is as polished and complete as can be! but she did say “never say never” 👀

[@rubenestradavalencia3306]

@@im_azraelle I believe they said this will be a shorter experience than inquisition. Don’t remember if about to 20-35 hours

[@im_azraelle]

@@rubenestradavalencia3306 weird considering DAV has a staggering more amount of recorded dialogue than DAI did. but if it’s shorter to 100% than DAI, it’s probably because of DAI’s massive open maps and ridiculous collectible hunting and pointless fetch quests.

[@NoName-ym5zj]

First Warden sounds like he read too much of Grey Warden romance novels or something lmao. Dialogue is a bit weak in places, but the game seems rather atmospheric, while I don't like the visual design and cartoony direction, the lighting is really doing it's job to immerse you.

[@ravenred6878]

Emmerich and Bellara are technically pacifists so they disapprove of the punch but NO one in your group likes the First Warden AT ALL. Lmfao.

[@Scr0II]

Assan Boop ❤

[@beaucole446]

Aww whose my little murder chicken-lion!

[@ALEXXOAVAK]

Great!

[@TorgoMazing]

wow! the grey warden companion can travel beneath the ground and teleport!

[@verar2247]

I am highly doubt First Warden will act that way, he is a political figure and so should be very competent and pragmatic, thats really a step down in writing especially after Duncan. It seems from DAI that Grey Wardens probably the hardest thing to write for anyone who is not Gaider lol, lead writers at least should consult with him on that topic

[@Shayan.junior]

I agree. They've botched the writing for the Wardens for two games now.

[@Stratos134]

To be fair, Duncan may have been cool, but he was one guy. It's not best to assume how the Grey wardens work from one guy.

[@LelaMCRmy]

@@Stratos134 Especially since in the Anderfels its very common for nobility to join the Wardens for glory, and iirc in the lore books or codexes its been stated that most if not all of the upper leadership at Weisshaupt are spoiled nobles, so that could at least partially explain the First Warden's behavior.

[@verar2247]

@@Stratos134 yeah but thats not only Duncan, but also Riordan and many other Wardens from Origins - Awakening, even DA2 Wardens were more competent, so yeah that's became pipeline from Inquisition

[@verar2247]

@@LelaMCRmy its never were said or stated that leadership of Wardens (specificly the First Warden) are spoiled nobles, just that they were more politicians than warriors and relied on local commanders in time of battles. Sorry but I rather believe in Gortash-like First Warden then this guy
