This is probably just a fun Easter Egg but I noticed that his lady in the Gameplay Reveal looks a bit like Hira from Absolution!

hello! ◕‿◕ I wonder if this type of hairstyle (it's really pretty and the hair movement of it in the gameplay reveal video was amazing) is a common Tevinter style? ^^

From what i gather is that there is no default names so now im just waiting for the last names to drop so i can make a good name for Rook, im trying to go in as blind as possible but i do want the names to drop soon.

hello! ◕‿◕ [here] are the last names for Rook. there don't seem to be 'default' first names like Lyna or Theron Mahariel. godspeed ��

Hey there! Wonder if that was explained somewhere already? During Game Informer coverage the first article stated that the Lighthouse is located in the Fade. Then it was retconed via X/Bluesky I think? - and said that it's actually on the Crossroads either by devs or GI guy. And now, during new IGN gameplay Epler said it's in the Fade yet again. I'm so confused((

hello! ◕‿◕ Ghil Dirthalen asked John Epler about this in this recent interview.

John Epler: "There’s, so, it is in the Fade. Where it is in the Fade and how it relates to the rest of the Fade is something that you discover over the course of the game. But, one of the things I’d say with Dragon Age: The Veilguard, with the Fade in particular is, everyone thinks they understand what the Fade is and we’re making it clear that, no, you’re just scratching, even Solas only knew so much about the Fade."

On romance in DA:TV -

""It felt right to also give them the opportunity to romance each other, and also romance other characters," said John Epler, The Veilguard's creative director. "We never want companions to feel like they exist just for Rook, just for the protagonist, they always should feel like real people." Corinne Busche, game director on The Veilguard, explained how this bolsters that "found family" fantasy BioWare companions have always been so good at evoking: "We've all been around that friend: They've fallen in love with someone, you get to experience that joy, that new relationship energy they're going through, and to be able to experience that and see that manifest amongst your companions, in many ways it's as joyous and as exciting as your own relationships." [...] "When you have companions that are interested in each other," said Busche, "It makes those choices, how you interact with them, what you task them with that much more difficult." Busche alluded to the potential for our own intervention into these relationships in response to a question about whether or not we'd be able to sabotage those companion romances: "I don't want to spoil anything," Busche cautioned, "but they might come to you for advice, and I can't guarantee you'll give them good advice.""

Matt Rhodes: "One of the last versions of the Journey to Skyhold storyboard. I liked the idea of a montage that featured a few extra dangers along the way, like a snow giant, perilous cliffs, or extreme blizzards." [source]

🔍👀..

So about how the Mass Effect board game includes pronouns on the character sheets for the characters that are in the game e.g. Garrus he/him, Wrex he/him, Shepard he/him or she/her. according to this, Liara's pronouns are canonically she/they !

Article from IGN today: 'BioWare Reveals All the Ways Dragon Age: The Veilguard Evolves Relationships, and Its Steamiest Romance, Too'

We dig into Dragon Age: The Veilguard's relationship mechanics with the help of its developers.

[source]

Some excerpts under the cut (in case it's spoilers to anyone), emphasis mine:

"“We really did want to keep them [the romances] relatable, more grounded. Some of them are quite sensual. Some of them are more physical, some are more romantic, some are more spicy,” says game director Corinne Busche of the variety of the game’s romances, “You may or may not wake up in a coffin.”"

I'm sorry wat :D

"“These are realized characters,” says Busche “They might express interest in Rook, and sometimes Rook will initiate. Maybe they initiate with Rook. Maybe you let them down. Maybe you commit to an exclusive romance with another one of the companions.” Don’t worry about leaving your friends out in the cold if you aren’t interested though. “They will find love in their own ways. Sometimes that means they'll find love with each other,” Busche explains. “When you make some of the truly gut-wrenching choices and you know that there's a romantic bond there, it makes those decisions just that much more difficult.”"
