"Get your mask on and your dancing shoes ready, but don't let your guard down. There's more to this party than meets the eye." I assume that means they're going to reveal a female character with excessively revealing attire (or excessively revealing attire for female PCs, which would negate the entire modding community,) and try to justify it with the trappings of unsound logic/a wizard did it.

Humanoid Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 It means you put on a Robin mask and instantly no one recognises you, even people who you are intimately familiar with and despite your mug being plastered on wanted posters all over the city. But then in a 'dramatic' turn of events, your identity is exposed via cutscene and you must make a hasty but violent escape in your own particular idiom.

Zoraptor Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Have they said anything more about Dragon Age Keep since the vague announcement some months ago? They asked (or are currently asking, if Google's metatext is accurate) for beta sign ups, don't know if there's any progress beyond that though.

Amentep Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I actually think he's talking about giving the player character creation choices that fly in the face of the railroading the story does to the character (like having rogue as a class but being put in situations where being a specific type of rogue is nonsensical. The height of this, IMO, is Hawke in DA2 being able to be an apostate mage without the Chantry falling on him/her like a tonne of bricks simply because the game doesn't support that even though, realistically that's what should have happened). 2 I cannot - yet I must.
