Black Rook really grew on me with the first reveal, but then I saw just how great the hair & it's physics were later on. So it's real nice to see there's some good black long hair styles, nice dreads options & such.
Both the character creator and actual gameplay looks good. It’s a bit similar to both Baldur's Gate 3 and Dragon's Dogma 2, but it does have some unique features on it's own in terms of hairstyle, factions, costume design and tattoos. As for the gameplay, the combat is a bit similar to God of War Ragnarok and the exploration is almost like Tales of Arise.
@@samflood5631 daaaamn! What a good comparison! I actually started playing Baldur’s Gate 3 because of this video actually. So I guess I’m in good company
Your rook looks so good! I made a reaction video to Kala, Ashe, and IGN and the CC looks awesome! All the hate comments I’ve gotten though is ridiculous and I know my fellow dragons age content creators are getting them too so I want to show my support. Many who were at the event said they only had so much time but what you all have done with that time to make your rooks is amazing! 😊
@@keiichimaster4734 you’re welcome! I had the same concerns. Glad you were able to check out a bit of it. Can’t wait to see what you make of your character 😀
@@iamBrandonTV Aha, thanks for not spoilering. How significant are the pitch shift options? Keen to know how low/high/harsh/soft/masc/fem the voices can go.
Yessss! I wish I was able to go through ALL of the hairstyle but I only had so much time to play. Also I knew I wouldn't be able to play again till full release so I didn't want to get too attached to the character ha
@@dirtydead4144 I know but I only had so much time to play. It was suggested we only did character creator for a little so we can get through the game demo.
@@teriyaki_chick - and just because you are trans/gay/whatever doesn't magically make you a good person. I suppose you never stopped to think about what possible impact seeing such scars might have on someone who survived "top cancer?" Someone not liking something, isn't always related to whatever you choose to live your life. Different people react to different things differently. So forgive me if I choose not to play a game that reminds women who struggled with such ordeals. If you want to play it, go ahead. No one's trying to stop you. And I hope you enjoy it. Truely. But just because someone doesn't like something that you do, doesn't automatically make them "phobic" either, and that phrase is thrown around so much that it is quickly losing all if its relevance.
@@neiska25 i’m not even trans. i just actually support the other people in this community. but i truly do hope you get picked by whatever right wing douche you’re trying to impress.
Me: "Can I make a beautiful woman with curves?" Them: "NO! MALE GAZE!" Me: "...But I'm a chick?" Ya but no. Passing on this one. You can keep your hank hill butts and top scars. If other people want to buy it, they are free to do so, and I hope they enjoy it. But I certainly won't be spending my money on it.
I'm gonna make two beautiful women without any top surgery scars. Lol when they're going to be wearing armour anyway I don't think its a problem. Go play Stellar Blade
@@nytesla_punk3327 - when they tell female gamers that they can't make female characters that are actually attractive, I would call that a problem. Many of us female gamers LIKE to have gorgeous or even sexy characters. This isn't "inclusive" this is exclusionary.
@@nytesla_punk3327 - Me: "Hey, I want to make characters that dont have a flat butt and more than A cups, you know, more like me in real life." You: "Skill issue!" Ya but no. In what world are things like top scars, while only a very narrow scope of body type "equal representation?" You like it? Then play it. Go enjoy. But me and pretty much my entire circle of friends, both irl and online, won't be. And personally I hope it flops. Hard.
@@nytesla_punk3327 Ya but no. If I want to make a character more like myself in real life, with actual curves, like, an actual bust and backside, then no, that isn't a "skill issue."
Agree, the bodies look stunted, legs outta proportion to the rest of the body, as if all characters share the same gene malfunction. Is this intentional, as part of inclusivity?

Please look up what the name "Rook" represents. I will do it for you. "In chess, rooks are considered a major piece and symbolize strength and stability. They move horizontally and vertically, and are a key part of defensive and offensive strategies. The rook is often depicted as a castle or tower in modern chess sets, but in earlier versions of the game it was represented by a chariot. The word "rook" comes from the Persian word rukh, which means "chariot"." ROOK = Main character = YOU
@@iamBrandonTV When you say rook i am reminded of the guy from DAO deep roads. Not everyone plays chess.So yes they should've chosen better name.Also voicing main potagonist is a mistake.Look like larian did.
What was the first Dragon Age game you played? Who is your favorite Dragon Age character?
Loghain, I have other favorites too but Loghain is top! Origins was my first DA.
First played DA2. Hawke, Fenris and Varric are still vying for top spot in my list of favorites.

It'd be really good to see (and hear) the voice options for Rook, particularly now we have the pitch shifter option too.

The more I see the more excited I get! I can't wait to see the haters get humbled by this game's success. Just like BG3.
My Rook will be a Shadow Dragon
And he is descended from one of the cruelest and bloodiest families of tevinter
@@sunnyworldproductions4818 let’s go! 😅
the hair looks great
This is incredible. I saw some dreds but I was hoping for some braids too.
Yessss! I wish I was able to go through ALL of the hairstyle but I only had so much time to play. Also I knew I wouldn't be able to play again till full release so I didn't want to get too attached to the character ha
Is this going to be the first mainstream AAA game ever to separate pronouns, gender AND body type? Hell yeah!
the background music is from the game?? because is beautiful
The body proportions look so odd to me, they're so stubby looking and the heads look to big for the bodies and shoulders too narrow.
Kala brought me here!
My Targaryen is going to look insane
So many options! I'm so excited to create my Rook!
Amazing! I will be spending hours just getting my Rook to look just right
Damn! I want to try it!
@@ElPerroNegro97 it’s coming soon!
This is going to take a long time… wish they had a separate app like Dragons Dogma so you can create before release. Looks great thou!
Thank you!!
@@victoriasinger4171 thank YOU!

Only thing i can praise here is the hair, everything else is so minimal or messy.
@@bluntlyhonest6803 that’s your opinion and I respect it!
Cool video, would be nice if you messed with some of the options you missed like the melanin slider

Stick to the lore 😑
