Entre a serra e o mar.
The next Dragon Age first entered development in 2015. But in the fall of 2017, EA and BioWare rebooted the game to push for long-term monetization. The change led to the departure of creative director Mike Laidlaw and caused some employees to dismiss the game as “Anthem with dragons.” EA announced the new Dragon Age in 2018 but has not shared many details since then. Behind the scenes, the game has been in flux, game website Kotaku has reported.

Who even are these people?
Weekes has been in BioWare since Mass Effect at least, Kristjanson has been there since Baldur's Gate and literally followed the same career as David Gaider. Everyone else it seems, especially art and animation leads, are EA people who joined BioWare at some point, worked on Anthem and are now working on Dragon Age 4.

This is psychotic. EA told the Dragon Age people to make Anthem with Dragons. They got frustrated and started leaving. So now EA is telling the Anthem people to make Dragon Age without Anthem.

BioWare has got to be the most maniacally mismanaged brand in the gaming industry.

Actually, the DA2 was not too bad. There were a few competent artists amidst the sea of future tubmlrites, and they actually made decent art.

Now how those designs were executed is an entirely different story.

I wish I could wear stuff like this in Dragon Age Inquisition. surprisingly the best looking armor I found was for my mage. looks like something a medieval soldier would wear. Also Blackwall's padded jacket looks appropriate.

To me the greatest mystery is people still wanting to work for EA, are game development jobs so hard to find that you are willing to work at EA? Only desperation or some kind of pathological suicidal tendencies can explain.

Shit art direction.
What art direction? They just use posters of well known franchise and change them a bit. This one looks like a final fantasy or some other jrpg franchise lol. I am sure i have seen it before.
