DA3... again. Now, with a potential basis in reality!

[amhran_comhrac]

The Escapist has some details up on DA3.  Someone on the forums apparently took a survey about the game, and spilled the beans.  Now... while it is still in the "unconfirmed" stage of the game, there's even concept art he's flashing around.  Which makes me think it might have some grounding in fact.  

BSN thread
Another article, where they mention the survey and being asked to take down info



So... who do we think these friendly looking folks are?  I think the lady might be Cassandra, going by her general "I feel nothing but contempt for you" face.  Is that Chantry armor?  Not sure.  Guy on the left... could that be a Warden insignia on that metal emblem?  I honestly can't tell... I need new glasses.


STEN!  Well, it may not be Sten.  But I am pretty sure it is Sten.

Well a sten can become arishok, and wouldn't actually require re-education. Seeing that re-education was for those who failed in the Qun. Since our Sten would have done his duty and returned with Asala, given his report etc, of the current arishok died, it would be quite feasible for Sten to rise to become Arishok.

I was thinking more of the sort of company he keeps during the Blight. Surely if he gave a full report, his superiors know that he spent a year consorting with unbound mages, heretics etc. This is even more pronounced if he had a close relationship with the Warden, although I suppose that would require the comic to address the "canon" Warden, which is highly unlikely.

Even then, he did keep himself fairly separate, and considering that his opinion of mages was pretty much exactly the same as when he arrived, the necessity for reeducation would be pretty minimal. He probably would have had some tests and been observed in his 'usual' Beresaad environment - to see if he slipped up and tried to spread any unenlightened views. Popping him into a reeducation center from the outset would actually be more likely to backfire than observation would.
