    Dunno how Bioware could possibly make their games less interactive, short of making the whole game one big cutscene, Lol.

    They patented dialogue wheel as far as I know. They'll probably shoehorn it in everything, even if they do a tetris spin-off.

    Sounds like apple patenting "rounded" corners on iphones or something. What's there to be pantented?

    The more interesting concept art images are the ones at the bottom. From the looks of it they are for certain characters. Varric,Cassandra, Vivienne. And I think the one that looks like a witch is that brat Cole. One of them is also a Grey Warden flying on the back of a griffon.

    I like the second one, I guess it's the court of Orlais. But I wouldn't be too sure if it will look like that in the game.

    The bottom pictures are excellent. Reminiscent of early 20th century children's book illustration. The other more "concept art" focused stuff's decent too, and yet somehow it will all conspire to look incredibly bland when translated into in-game assets.

    that was interesting video... the tarot cards and art design in general is very, very good (i thought it was way more reminiscent of vienna secession and klimt in particular, not so much northern renaissance), showing no 3d can really beat the 2d illustrations. good to see someone at bioware came to his senses (it took just a bit more than a decade). that said, it still dangerously flirts with kitschy and next to it UI looks horrible with it's clean vector design ( actiony and out of place in high fantasy setting). this could have been a joy for the eyes if things would have been consistent

    the actual world looks WAY oversaturated and use of color palette in almost every fucking scene ranges from barely forgivable to atrocious. who the hell think stuffing the whole specter of possible colors and turning saturation to 300+ will not induce epileptic seizures? it a shame to see an actually good looking world drowning in kitch and exaggerations.

    I used to watch Power Rangers as a kid. I usually watched it because the female rangers were hot.

    Oh, please. No need to justify yourself.

    We all used to watch Power Rangers because they were fucking awesome.

    Well that looked awful. I thought they switched to Cryengine to finally make a good looking game?
