Launch Trailer Hype Thread

[Theodric]

-snip-

The biggest issue is character bloat. I believe they've stated in interviews that they weren't sure what direction to take certain characters in - which to me suggests that a handful will inevitably be killed off, particularly if they wish to truly show the horrors and cost of a brutal war. I dislike characters dying for the sake of it, or doing so in predictable manners such as 'self sacrifice' but I do think there's room to get creative. As far as Krile goes, I quite like her. Next to Y'shtola she's one of my favourite Scions since they both have a level head atop their shoulders and they recognise the nuances involved in many of our conflicts. Still, a lot of what happened with them both in Azyz Lla is locked away in side story content and I'm fearful that rather than mention it in the MSQ's they might just...render both of them inactive for a bit.

Prior to this trailer, I always imagined Zenos will use ceruleum to power up his sword. But the dark/ purple glow we saw surrounding his sword didn't look like ceruleum, so it might be aether or magically enhanced. He might very well be one of the few Garlean pure-blood that can use magic

I do think it's likely, too. Makes me wonder if his father also shares his capabilities - and his mother, too, if she ends up becoming part of the story. I'm banking on it being some sort of outside force in Zenos' case, though - perhaps Ascian meddling due to the hue of his blade.
