Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9063002" data-attributes="member: 18">So updates from the Panel From Hell:The name was shown in that image - It is, as someone actually guessed The Dark Urge.It's an Origin which doesn't require any specific race/class, you can still choose that, but does mean you have very strong urges to be a psycho serial killer, and this is apparently very well worked-in to the game. They all seem very pleased about it, and whilst it's definitely edgelord-y, I have to admit Swen does a good job of convincing that it is a well-made Origin and very different to the others. The way he explains it is it's like the role Trevor serves in GTA V, which to examine why people do bad things in videogames. The narrator talks a ton for their thoughts, but I'm not sure if that's true for all Origin characters.There's some sort of evil goblin involved too - and probably a Bhaal or even Bhaalspawn connection.EDIT - I see my understanding is slightly different from Paul but I cannot be sure who is right. It's certainly something pretty fancy.It's not clear if they exist as a character if they're not played, or what Race/Class they are if so. My guess is Yes and Dragonborn/Monk, given what they showed.Other things they showed/talked about:Changes to Act 1CloaksDifferent outfits for campRomance more complicated than most games, spans over the acts (fully naked Halsin shown lol man is a linebacker) - sometimes better to argue than just to get along to go along and so on. Sounds really well-done - only game I've seen this in really is DA2.Will add more as I go.Re: companions leaving "You'll be surprised with what you can get away with" - and expounds on this to basically say you can turn characters in many cases, can convince them to do things they thought they wouldn't, which suggests the initial good/evil analysis might not hold in the longer run.Patrons will interact with Warlocks (people had been very doubtful)Sounds like maybe they redid Wyll entirely? Makes sense, because he was the weakest character.It's possible to respec - seemingly including your class and possibly the classes of your companions. They said it pretty quickly and there's no rewind on Youtube so I can't be sure.Now they've paused because of technical issues, which seem to be just the stream was at 30 FPS, not 60 FPS, which is kind of annoying, because who cares? Apparently a bunch of people I guess.</blockquote>
