Alistair "not a party member" in Dragon Age: Inquisition, Morrigan art released

Executive producer Mark Darrah has confirmed that Dragon Age: Origin’s Alistair is ”not a party member” for the Inquisitor in the upcoming sequel, but that doesn’t rule out a possible cameo appearance.

BioWare has also announced an initiative to help fan artists and cosplayers by releasing ”detailed, descriptive, high-resolution character designs” before it launches.

Morrigan, aka The Witch of the Wilds, is one such character getting an art breakdown. Morrigan was another character from DA: Origins that will be returning.

The studio has already confirmed that Morrigan will also not be a party member, but will be fulfilling a significant role in Inquisition. Apparently she’ll be coming from a ‘very human place’ as fans will hopefully get to know more about her secretive schemes, and what became of the Dark Ritual from Dragon Age: Origins.

.@TaylorW15000 not a party member. You'll have to wait and see on the rest.
