if you remember this post (possible DA:D spoiler warning for link), 'PP1' returned the other day with another possible DA:D snippet of interest, under a cut due to possible DA:D spoilers:

first, the usual set of disclaimers that should be kept in mind with all leaks: might not be real, unable to verify at present, sometimes leakers think they’re right about things but are unintentionally incorrect or got some wires crossed, games change a fair bit between development phases and final release, take with grain of salt etc.

PP1: "Grey Warden Guardian seemed to be a subclass of the Warrior archetype, also includes Lords of Fortune Berserker and The Mourn Watch Reaper (magic based I think)." [update: post has now been removed from where it was made]

Notes/thoughts/wild speculation for fun: this would make 3 'subclasses' (maybe they mean specializations) of each 'archetype' (maybe they mean class)? this is how things were in DA:I. I guess "Grey Warden Guardian" refers to the elf character being played in the Reddit screenshot & gif leaks, who was described as a "knight" by the leaker and labelled some way as a "Grey Warden" in the character menu. Guardian was a warrior spec in DA:O, they have a focus on defense. Lords of Fortune have been speculated as a being faction in game, as the or a possible background of the PC, as a candidate for a companion character etc, and they're pretty neat, so that's cool. Berserker was a spec available to warriors in DA:O and DAII, so it would be making a return but with a Lord of Fortune twist?

The Mourn Watch part is pretty exciting tbh. Like the LoFs they've cropped up quite a bit recently and they are cool. (also "Reaper" just sounds super badass.. scythe mage staff or scythe warrior weapon pls..) I would've assumed the Mourn Watchers were all mages, being Mortalitasi, but I could totally see a 'magic warrior' working in there, either one who is technically a mage but who fights like an Arcane Warrior, or a warrior like a Spirit Warrior. Spirit Warriors "flirt with inhabitants of the Fade who agree to augment mortal abilities in exchange for a glimpse of the physical world". they're connected to the spirit world, can draw strength from benevolent spirits of the Fade and particularly harm creatures from the Fade. what if it's like that but specifically with the spirits that possess the dead, or in Nevarran belief the displaced spirits. perfect for a warrior who needs to guard and hang about necropolises & fight undead, and sorta necromancy-lite. :o)

maybe the general set up is something like: you pick background/faction and class, and each background/faction has a 'presence' in each class, so it determines the full combo, like this:

Grey Warden Warrior (guardian) - Grey Warden Rogue (?) - Grey Warden Mage (?)

Lord of Fortune Warrior (berserker) - Lord of Fortune Rogue (?) - Lord of Fortune (mage)

Mourn Watch Warrior (reaper) - Mourn Watch Rogue (?) - Mourn Watch mage (?)

🤔 or maybe you pick class at outset, and which 'subclass' you get is determined by which faction you join? how would traditional specializations fit in? maybe they don't mean specs and classes. curious :) anyways mourn watch aaaah. sign me up

edit: it's just occurred me that maybe "Reaper" is a typo of "Reaver" and Reaver is returning as a class ^^
