    In this video I will go through the classes and their specializations, specifically what they do, then will go through the background choices, and what the faction is about, then finally, run through each companion and how I would personally marry together classes, backgrounds, and companions choices in each playthrough.

      @Dantics  6 дней назад +4

      Okay well I can explain from my end. These characters seem a bit unrealistic for me, personally, just based on the graphics. When it comes to individuals, I only am attracted to human females. So there is one choice, though I would count Bellera. They're both okay. Like if someone similar was in front of me in real life I would think they are pretty in their own way, but not something that makes me say 'Wow'.

      @Dantics what is meant by "unrealistic"? This is a game with qunari and elves after all? So you just prefer grounded romances? For me, it's a fantasy setting, so I want the unique stuff you can't get in real life. I rarely make human player characters, and the romance options not being human isn't a deterrent at all(though I probably WONT go to the bone zone with Emmerichs servant).
      I'm not being judgey or anything, just genuinely curious.

    Usually in Dragon Age I would stick with one team from start to finish, while in Mass Effect I would alternate my companions throughout the game.

    I really hope they have traps if so it seems our specialization will depend on what classes we put points into ie: veil ranger with points into saboteur ,if so im definitely making a saboteur with points into veil ranger for a magic trapper! Ohh hopefully they allow rogues to lay down magic mines.

    * A female elf who’s a veil ranger rogue (and who’s faction is the veil jumpers). her team will be Davrin and Hardin, and she will romance once of them.

    As someone who played a lot of mage builds I feel like I might stick with it and see if I can do a spellblade/evoker multi build. I have two people I want to romance but haven't decided yet, Taash and Lucanis - tho I will have to see when it comes out who I vibe with more lol.
    As for backgrounds and the specialisation icons I think they might give you more buffs or something if you match them up together (but that might just be me overthinking it bc I doubt they had it there for no reason) but I feel like I might lean into SD or AC but I guess we will see what the buffs are when the info is out

    • @Dantics

    As for companions, going my Mass Effect style; one slot is reserved for one of the female LIs I am romancing. Such as Ashley then someone who adds biotics/tech.
    Romancing Taash first, so she is reserved as my warrior. Then gotta see who works best in the area I am going to. I am glad they added more female options unlike DAI, where it was just Sera I liked...
    Going Mage, Elf, LoF, Taash.

  • @dillonolsen2254
    @dillonolsen2254 6 дней назад +1

    Yeah I’m feeling a rogue either duelist or spell blade, though the melee mage is also intriguing. I love the idea of a 2 handed warrior but I played reaver in DAI and it got a little old after a while. Maybe the slayer will end up being more dynamic.
    Then origin of Shadow Dragons or maybe Veil Jumpers? I like the idea of Lords of Fortune but fail to see how they will have much of an impact story wise.
    Companions definitely Davren, Taash, Neve, and Lucanis are the ones that interest me most. Primarily the first 2. Not closed off to the others but they’re not speaking to me, particularly Harding. Maybe her mysterious magical powers could be cool though. No romance. Don’t do that much in games.
