The Sacred Ashes trailer was perfect. I do slightly wish they'd make another trailer similar to it but oh well.
wow what a waste of money this CGI is
I cringed when I saw Vivi and her staff antics. It looks like a kid playing with a stick,
The CGI is typical for Bioware, lots of bombast and chest beating heroes. Not my thing. I was impressed with the music in the Morris interview . Seems like he's found a distinct style that's epic but with a sonorous quality.
Blah blah blah.
IMPORTANT NEWS:
I found out I can be a Jedi in DAI!!! http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Knight_Enchanter
"They have a melee attack called Spirit Blade that summons a sword from thin air which they sweep in front of them. When upgraded, Spirit Blade can be used to deflect projectiles."
....why was I not advised of this? Onwards, Inquisitor Duke Skystroller!

If you read my posts I did mention that. I even posted the bloody skills tree!
*grumbles about not being appreciated*
WHAT? I can't hear you over the sound of how Jedi I'm going to be!!
Really wish someone had mentioned this to me earlier, though. Siiigh. It's like no one cares anymore.
It's worth mentioning that people are playing the game right now on Xbone due to EA first access.

Angry Joe also talks about how the game takes off after 10 or so hours. He is apparently really enjoying it. I just hope that TB will give the game the appropriate time it needs since it takes so long to take off and since he only does first impressions.

Morris is probably better - and more expensive - than Zur. I was never that impressed by Zur's soundtracks, to be honest, though they are usually competent enough.
I thought the trailer itself was pretty good, in the sense that I think they nailed the 'generic fantasy epic videogame for the masses' vibe perfectly. There wasn't a thing in that trailer or the 'atmosphere' that it conveyed that couldn't fit, say, a new D&D Forgotten Realms videogame.
Well done, to be honest.

I present a very sad looking Blackwall
Why is he sad I wonder
That he don't have much fanboys.
TB is also tweeting about the game. He likewise says that it starts slow but he's enjoying it. Said the writing was better than the Iron Bull clip. Which... isn't saying much. He mentioned odd framerate drops during convos but said later that it was driver related.

Hmm... We'll get two specialization choices I assume as always. I wanted necromancer, but this is pretty cool.
Don't twist what he said. He said that the writing was GOOD and that the Iron Bull Scene was just an outlier. There is a difference.
I am calm. I did not intend to come off as aggressive.
