It is getting closer – the seasons have definitely changed, which means that 7 October isn’t all that far away anymore. Bioware keeps showing off the different environments that we can expect to explore in the game, and this weekend saw some more screenshots released into the wild.
First up, we have this twitter reveal of The Adamant Fortress:
Not exactly beach front property, but it served the Grey Wardens well. http://t.co/5AUZEDOkzI pic.twitter.com/OXbl90Pwd7

Based on some words and lore, the Fortress of Adamant was built for the Grey Wardens’ fight against the darkspawn spilling out of the Abyssal Rift. Eventually, they abandoned the fortress, sealing its gates.
So in the dawn of the Blessed Age, we sealed the fortress’s mighty gates. We left the great griffon statues to tarnish and wear in the blowing sand, retreating to Montsimmard with a sense of loss and shame. I recently returned with a small expedition to retrieve supplies left behind and was surprised to see it still standing. The dwarves did well by us, and I suspect Adamant will remain for ages to come… but should the Order ever return, they will find it difficult to resurrect this place. Only spirits roam its halls now, alongside the memories of those who gave their lives to protect us all from darkness.
Please tell me that this is a fortress that you can retake as part of your reclaiming of the world. Sure, it might just be a fortress in a desert, but I’m sure it would be awesome to control. Here are some more pictures of the fortress, as well as the surrounding environment, The Western Approach. I’m so glad the world is more varied this time – it seems Bioware is going to deliver what people want with this game.

If they were so adamant about having a fortress there then why did they leave? Nobody would take them seriously if they called it the Fortress of Convenience?

Haha! She’s got enough now for at least 5 minutes of game time, if you flick them fast enough.

Its nowhere near as good as Darksouls 2. 7.0 is a more accurate rating for child of light, there’s nothing “amazing” about this game, imo.

Also mine will only arrive a week later (more or less) cause SA got screwed over with the Inquisitors Edition not being sold here. Hell I might just buy a normal copy to get my weeks worth of gaming in.
