Hey out there to new and old, this comm hasn't be real active in ages, but that stands to reason - DA2 was a bit of a flop when compared to DAO, and lots of us have had major life changes. Work, school, family, health, so on, so forth. But with Inquisition coming up soon(ish - fingers crossed!) we'll probably see a reawakening amongst our members, and a whole slew of new ones!

So, in interest of restarting a dialogue - what are everyone's thoughts on Inqusition so far? I mean, it's not like we've seen much of it, heard much about it - but there's the artbooks. Has anyone seen them, and if so, are there any Antiva entries (hey, it's my pet project country, I wanna know!) Or if there's been anything interesting them? What I have seen of them seems a tad impractical. The Tevinter clothing for instance is utterly crazy. Think about it, Seheron and Par Vollen are tropics, as per Sten's description (nutmeg trees do not just grow anywhere! They need tropic and subtropic temperatures, added to that is Zevran's description of Antiva as being hot), and Tevinter is pissing distance. That would indicate that Tevinter gets hot as heck, and those garments are utterly killer for that type of environment.

The Orlais and Ferelden ones make sense, except, you know, that's never what's portrayed in game.

Also, thoughts about Inquisition - Morrigan's Urthemiel/DR Baby probably isn't an adult, so the hero of the game can't be the kid. Since Inquisition takes place some point between 9:37 and 9:40, and that kid would've been born around 9:30/9:31. Do you think that the child would play a role? Some sort of Grail aspect? (This I could see as feasible, since the child would carry the soul of an Old God, think mega mage or some shit, right?)

Also, plot hole! In Witch Hunt, Morrigan says the eluvian will take her to some place far away and unknown, and a male Warden (or a hacked FemWarden) can go with her to parts unknown...but in the books, comics and whatnot, Morrigan has become part of Celene I's court. Sheesh, if that's parts unknown and far away from where Flemeth may find her...that's not real good thinking here, now is it? Complete plot hole ahoy!

Thoughts?

Opinions:

Ferelden or Orlesian?

On the dragonage.wikia there's conflicting entries. One says it's part of Ferelden, another says it's part of Orlais. Then there's the statement in game from Riordan about being from Jader and so he was 'Ferelden' or 'a-okay with Ferelden' sort of sentiment, like no one would think it odd he was there...


Orlesian City List
Ferelden City List

Has anyone read the books and if so, do they say if Jader is Orlesian or Ferelden?

One hypothosis I have is that perhaps it was originally part of Ferelden, but was left to Orlais during the withdrawal of occupational forces. Or vice versa - that it is now part of Ferelden and been ceded over as a sort of...concession to Ferelden for the occupation... Thoughts?
