THEY NAILED IT!!! THAT'S THEM!!!! MY FAVORITES SINCE TEVINTER NIGHTS MY BABIES MY BABIES

[girlbob-boypants]

Today's article was hilarious. Starting out by saying that despite being BW's official article writer for the preview, he has NO idea if there's going to be more than the 3 difficulty settings he saw in a preview that he fully acknowledges may not have been a finished look.

And ending with "I didn't get to see any accessibility options that you didn't already know about from the devs talking before this was posted."

i suggest withholding your judgement about the inquisitor CC and choices we will make about previous games - we weren't really supposed to see any of that footage/screenshots from this preview event, and there's a lot of conflicting information that people are throwing out with utmost certainty

as always

lol

(for example: proclaiming that solas's romance is gender and race locked because of a screen for love interest selection with solas, dorian, cass all locked - when there's also videos where a male lavellan doesn't have vallaslin... which implies msolavellan)

either the inquisitor CC isn't complete yet, or it's got mistakes, or they made solas bi but not race locked - so anything goes at the moment. it's not worth putting your foot down and declaring what is true yet lol

it's so fucking funny, 10 people dmd me about young Solas hair and every single one of them has a different idea of its color

blond? brunette? ginger? mousy brown? warm brown? honey brown? dark blond? lmfaooooo

1: people are mad that Rook can't have DAI vallaslin, but -

literally those people are blind

[dreadfutures]

I think I have seen everything there is and yet people are still saying there's another solas spoiler and i am squinting

like I am so certain I've seen everything and honestly only one thing has been "so shocking"?

[dreadfutures]

2 - cauliflower ear option??? CAN I GIVE ELVES FUCKED UP EARS??? PLEASE

[dreadfutures]

tbh people aren't seeing the regret on Solas' face immediately after that? the tears on his face?

that particular interaction didn't look entirely on purpose to me and looks like he regrets it. I know he would do it! I know the other spoiler also shows that he'd sacrifice people blah blah but. the expression and tears are right there lmao

MAMA GHIL HAS A WHAAAAALE

[dreadfutures]

oh also and some people have the worst grasp of lore i have ever damn seen l m f a o

the call is coming from inside the fandom fam

I actually really don't have that much to say except that I don't trust people to read facial expressions and people are blind to things that are right in front of their faces and people really love to make the worst character assumptions for real and fictional people

everything I saw I was incredibly happy with including those big big spoilers

the only thing I am still holding my breath about is the execution of Lucanis' storyline, and whether Bellara is all my least favorite Girl In STEM stereotypes 😭

but I'm so excited

Dread's Personal DA4 Tags

Making this post to replace the tag list in my pinned post for brevity.

DA4 - all content, discussion, advertising, everything. Even if it's tagged with other things, it will be tagged with DA4

DA4 Hype - pre-da4 excited reactions

DA4 speculation - unconfirmed theories, speculation. NOT spoilers.

DA4 theory - same as above

Pre-DA4 Rook

DA4 Spoilers - content from the game, discussing confirmed parts of the game. I do not consider the names of companions or the last names of the Rooks to be spoilers. If it's something you could have known pre-game if you engaged in the supplementary material, it isn't a spoiler. It would still be tagged with DA4 though.

DA4 preview event - content that came out from the Sept 19 event

Dread Blogs DA4 - thoughts and content from my personal play throughs of the game.

DA4 Deets - screenshots of architecture, pots, rugs, etc.

DA4 sketchbook - my personal DA4 field journal project

DA4 release - content, thoughts, etc, from other people post-release.

This list may grow. If other tags are added, the post will be reblogged to share the update for your filtering purposes.

more than one person has asked me if we really weren't supposed to see it:

correct. that was one of a handful of things people at the preview event were not supposed to show, and I believe there was an NDA so like yikes. lol

To be clear also - there are fine tuning sliders after this part of the CC! In case anyone thinks this is all we got. :)
