This rather confirms a character creator for your Warden and Hawke right? Since they're running around.

You don't think there's any chance they're going to pull an MGS2, do you? And you'll be switching main characters for different acts. E: I guess Heavy Rain would be a better example, but you get my point.

So Bioware announced their new IP. It's pretty much Secret World, but with more cookie-cutter lore and not an MMO: https://www.shadowrealms.com/ I don't suppose anyone is burning with desire to make a thread for this?

I guess it could technically be called a curveball, but, by that logic, so would the Reapers suddenly deciding that they will only surrender if they are shown the power of love as displayed by a romantic play or spontaneously becoming giant ice cream cones. Being unexpected isn't the same thing as being well-thought-out or at all good. Anyway, back to the trailer. I think they might be banking on too many spoilers. Revealing the main villain in what I assume to be his final boss form too quickly. I thought there was supposed to be some mystery behind it all.

An actual plot twist is something that actually fits into the story. Putting buttons in front of the player just doesn't fit. Original Deus Ex did this pretty well actually, you still make The Big Choice at the end in Area 51 but it's actual actions you take, not buttons you push. Human Revolution also went with the actual buttons at the ending and it was dumb there too  E: basically what I'm going for here is button->awesome may be stupid but button-> ending is worse.

They did actually release a few, just not on that account. Here are the first three teasers. Here's the fourth one. There will also be a, uh, official reveal party in Germany in a few hours and I presume they'll put the video of that up on that channel? Maybe. There was also an official pre-announcement ARG that, like, five people actually noticed. EDIT: Gameplay. Hmmm. Megazver fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Aug 13, 2014 |

Being unexpected isn't the same thing as being well-thought-out or at all good. The trailer does show a number of what are probably quite close to climax moments, but that's hardly new for Bioware trailers. Heck, the ME3 launch trailer includes footage from the climax of every major plot mission, as well as the final stand on Earth, but much of that is only really stuff you realise in hindsight. Trailers are about getting people hyped; If you are concerned about spoilers you are likely already planning to get the game, and thus not really the target audience.

Is anyone really hyped by the last DA:I trailer? Except big baddie it contained mostly of pieces of cutscenes or stuff you have no control over. Music was also pretty bland..

... Yes? I mean, it's a trailer. It's supposed to look cinematic and glossy, so that they can farm it for commercials. Sure, it would've been nice to have some gameplay spliced in there, but I won't knock off points for its absence when we've already seen walkthroughs showing the gameplay off in spades.

I enjoyed that trailer, and I love the idea of the villain trying to topple God. That's the best. Also some of those enemy designed freaked me out. There was this one that looked like something outta Silent Hill.

With the twist that the fifth player controls the monsters and can influence the dungeon somehow (probably setting traps and whatnot). Think "The Secert World (non-mmo version)" meets "Evolve".

That's probably The Elder One- who's responsible for the invasion and the primary antagonist of the game. Does anyone remember when that marking on his forehead show up in the Dragon Age games. It looks really familiar.

So is there a single player campaign or is it all co-op? The website wasn't quite so clear.

Kinda early to tell, it could be like Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 which had a story that you had to dig a little for, but also some story beats and set pieces that always showed up in all the campaigns. Maybe something similar, there might be certain story related objectives that the one guy has to do or he loses to the 4 players. Hopefully we hear some more about it, love this style of gameplay.

Maybe it's like a video game version of published D&D adventure paths: the players are all playing through the same story, but different groups might have different experiences depending on the dungeon master? I dunno. The announcement during the E3 presentation was essentially just word salad with buzzword vinaigrette so I had no idea what the game was supposed to be until articles started coming out.
