RPG Codex Ghost
They disliked the only redeeming quality of the original (which otherwise is quite the mediocre game in a vanilla fantasy setting).They don't want to be bleak. The current team already talked about how they dislike Origins' dark fantasy elements.Should have went for red lyrium aesthetics instead of tumblr-purple, it fits the overall "bleak" theme they're trying to go for. Regardless, the game will be shit either way.
DA:O dwarves have some of the best realized dwarf lore in fantasy vidya gaming in my opinion. It's fairly laughable how interesting Orzammar and dwarven culture is compared to the elves, just as rusty_shackleford said in an earlier post.
I'd genuinely enjoy the lore of DA-game build entirely around their dwarf-take, I think
