[@samanthaparker1353]

Yeah I came to see if there was any difference in the art style between the trailers and honestly it looks like it’s kept consistent. I don’t know how I feel about it. I think it’s fine, they seem like they’re just following trend in that regard though, thinking it’s a smart business move as some of the more popular games have similar styles and probably means that they can then integrate DA characters into those games potentially as buyable 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do personally wish they’d kept more to the style of inquisition/BG3/witcher leaning more toward realistic graphics style but I guess that probably would have eaten up more time and money. I’ll still get the game when I can but time (along with other questionable choices BW has made between now and then) has definitely eaten away at a big chunk of my enthusiasm.

[@Valyrianalien]

@@marcmarod Technically the Inquisitor was just a random elf or mage or merc or carta thug. The only vaguely special one is the dalish mage because they were first of their clan. That didn't matter though, because they happened to get their hand on ancient elfy magic and it just so happened that they were they only one who could wield it afterwards, and that made them the only choice to lead the army of their worshippers, no matter how bad they potentially were at the job. But also, they just happened to be good enough at the job to succeed without any leadership training. Same kind of thing with the Warden. It's better there because their origin stories show us why Duncan was looking to recruit them to begin with. (Though imo that's a bit undercut when you meet the other two recruits. But then they don't survive the joining so it's ok.) Then the warden gets spared because they're new, and that makes them one of the only wardens left, and since Alistair is kind of a wimp when it comes to making big decisions, that makes them the only choice to recruit and lead the army. It's lucky the warden also turns out to be good enough at the job to succeed. At least they don't also have to function as a kind of monarch like the Inquisitor does. But still, it's the same kind of thing, the nobody just happens to be hero material. It wouldn't be a good story if they weren't something something. I'm choosing to interpret the trailer as saying that the new protagonist won't be the one to serendipitously come to lead a big army. Instead, they'll get chosen because they're good at their job (some kind of spy thing, most likely), and they'll continue to do that job more and more competently and that'll let the good guys win. No magical or accidental chosen-ness, just grit and skill. If there is a big army, the new hero won't be on top, and it'll not be what decides the outcome. This is what I would like to see, so this is what the trailer sounds like to me.
