skillzdadirecta Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I'll give it a shot although their past animated efforts were a bit of a letdown. I LOVE this world and its lore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massdriver Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I'll give it a shot if the reviews are halfway decent. I love high fantasy animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I watched the first episode tonight and I liked it. Pretty well written and well acted with some decent action sequences. I LOVE the world and lore of thie series and really appreciate spending more time here. The show seems to take place after Inquisition as there are several references to the events from that game and at least ONE of the characters from that game makes an appearance. Also I'm guessing that the next game will at least spend SOME time in the foreign nation of Tervinter which is ruled by mages, given the setting of this series. I'm digging it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 I kind of forgot this came out. I'll probably get into it after I finish this other show I'm watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massdriver Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 How's the pacing? With so few episodes, it may end up feeling rushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 My wife and I watched the first episode and weren't very excited by it. It felt like they wanted us to empathize immediately with these characters, but were given no reason to. It felt like a series of events.

I thought it did good job of introducing the characters to us, setting up the various relationships and subverting expectations with the "twist" at the end of the episode. It accomplished all of that without being overly expository and just kind of drops us in to these characters lives without treating it as a "pilot" episode. I'll probably finish it over the next day or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The writers assume you either know the lore/world or at least familiar enough with something close to it that they don't have to bog down the series with a in depth back story. They also give you snippets of the larger world through conversations or brief flashbacks. I burned through all the episodes in day , a big reason for this was not having to trudge through several episodes of bullshit to get to the good stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
