#I have ideas for all factions except shadow dragons and lords of fortune

[acgamesda]

I was thinking what it would be cool if Rook's faction choice not only would determine their name/background story/cosmetic look, but also their powers.

What's if every Rook from different background had their own faction-specific special attack, similiar to Inquisitor's Anchor attack?

6, 7, and 10 from the DA4 asks? <3

6. Do you have your Rook(s) planned out to any degree? If so, would you share some details or ideas you have?

no specifics yet, except they'll probably be a mage. especially if they give me a Battlemage/Arcane Warrior/Knight-Enchanter type spec again, I love those so much probably human? that'll depend on the CC and how many voice options we have, though. I love elves, but being the only non-Welsh-accented elf always breaks my immersion really badly, so if they give me a Welsh VA I'll most likely be an elf (if they'd let me be a dwarf mage, I'd jump at the chance, but that's not very likely ;)) I know they'll either be female or nonbinary :3 I'm excited by the prospect of playing an enby character in a Dragon Age game, but I tend to gravitate to female characters even in other games that let me be nonbinary, so I'm not sure which I'll end up doing yet in my Oops! All Mages! worldstate, Carah Amell, Evie Hawke, and Moira Trevelyan are all kinda... sweet and gentle, so I like the idea of Rook being someone feistier. a little bit punk, a little anarchist, y'know. A Shadow Dragon or Lord of Fortune, maybe? Veil Jumpers sound fun too no names yet. since Rook's last name is set based on faction and possibly race, I'll be waiting to name them until I know what their last name is

7. Which character from the previous games or other media are you most hoping will make an appearance in DAV?

Carver or Bethany Hawke! Fenris! Merrill! Any of the DA2 crew besides Varric, really. I don't trust them to treat Sebastian with any respect, so as much as I love him, I'd prefer they stay away from him tbh, but Merrill and Fenris have so many potential links to the plot, I'm gonna be disappointed if they don't at least have a cameo

10. Which location are you most excited/hoping to explore in-game?

I'd love to see Weisshaupt and the Anderfels. And also Rivain. And Minrathous had a really cool cyberpunk vibe, I look forward to spending a little more time there. It would also be cool to see some of the other Free Marches city-states! There's so many interesting places in Thedas that we haven't seen yet, and I want to explore all of them. Just... less desert zones this time, I hope
