Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Hooded chick seems pretty hot so I guess she'll be my waifu.

The Flames of the Inquisitor pre-order pack is weapons, armor and a mount with armor (horse armor ZOMG).
It's a secret, but really my office is being cheap on AC right now so my brain is frying.
They're not being coy. To see combat in action:
Probably Leliana.
All signs point to NO as a party member.
It's Leliana. I really like what they did to her design. It's a shame that she is not a playable character. It's possible that she is a love interest though, Collen is not playable as well, but is rumored to be a love interest.
Ugh, it looks even more actiony than i feared.
From what I've read, Cullen is the ninth party member.
Good deal. I wasn't really too excited about this game because I thought the Witcher 3 was coming out this year, but with that game being pushed back to 2015 I'll need a different game to scratch that RPG itch. It'll be a day one purchase for me. Bioware can thank CD Projekt RED for that one.
I just played DA2 for the first time not too long ago. I didn't hate it as much as I thought, so I'm looking forward to this game. I've given up on hoping for DA:O combat (that's what I have Pillars of Eternity for), so I just hope this game is a solid RPG. As long as they don't make every dungeon the same then I'm sure this will be a good game. I'm officially hyped!

Are they giving us another Kelly Chambers?

First thing I thought of too when I saw that picture.
So, clearly your character is jesus/savior, but I wonder if any other parallels could be drawn given the other's positions relative to TLS painting?
Left side:
Cassandra / John the Baptist
Solas / Judas
Cole / Peter
Varric / Andrew
Vivienne / James ('the Lesser')
Cullen / Bartholomew
Right side:
Iron Bull / Thomas
Mage / James ('the Greater')
Leliana / Philip
Sera / Matthew
Some Lady / Thaddeus
Grey Warden-looking guy / Simon
Well from the full party shot all the companions we know of have weapons on them. Cullen does not, but Cole(or at least who assume is Cole) also has weapons. So I think Cullen is out and Cole is in. Which is in line with the statement that we will have 3 companions of each class and we already have 3 warriors with Cassandra, Iron Bull and Grey Warden guy, but only two Rogues so far with Varric and Sera. So Cole fits that role as another Rogue. Plus I don't like him so I'd rather he be just an adviser or representative of sorts.
I may upgrade my PC for this, DAO is one of my favourite games ever and I even liked DA2 for what it was (though I also paid $10 for it, so that could be part of it...).
I'm sort of planning to get a PS4 as well though, so if this supports the touch pad for mouse-style stuff I may go with that and upgrade my PC later.

Graphically, it looks super slick. Animations seem top notch.
I just hope the combat is tactical and fun and not brain-dead button-mashy like in DA2.
Game needs to have depth to be fun.

I recognize the name Cullen from somewhere - was he a character in a previous game in the series?

Subete no aware
Unless they just hid all the bars and cool down timers, it really does look like Dark Souls.

Looks awesome, though I wonder if the "Cole" character on the left side with the blondish hair is the same Cole from the book "DA: Asunder," because if he is then that will be an interesting twist.
Asunder spoilers:
He's from DAII, he was the Knight-Captain, second in command to Knight-Commander Meredith.
Asunder spoilers:
Cole is a demon of the Fade. In the book he forgot that he was a demon at some point taking the identity of "Cole" but in the end he fully remembers. He seems to be a good demon though.

I wasn't going to buy this this year, then I heard The Witcher 3 is being pushed back to February. Looks like a day 1 for me. This, The Order (cautiously optimistic) and Destiny I think are my day 1s for this year, along with perhaps TLOU remastered.
I would pre-order even without all that shit. But I'm going to wait until I get my Xbone to do so.
Templar in the both Mage Circles in DAO and DA2. He wanted to kill everyone in DAO and was kind of the voice of reason in DA2 where he was second in command of the Kirkwall Circle under Knight Commander Meredith. There was a fair bit of interaction with him in both games, but he's always been a bore so no surprise you forgot him.
"Combat in Dragon Age: Inquisition seeks to merge the third-person fighting mechanics common to today's action-RPGs with a more strategic party-based approach reminiscent of earlier RPGs."
That'll be the key for me. Dragon Age was one of my favorite western RPG's gameplay wise, DA2 was hot garbage overall but the move to action battle system really killed it for me. I don't mind a happy medium, but I really hope they're genuine about implementing some more strategy "older school" elements because the trailer makes it seem very much like the DA2 battle system.

He was also in Origins. He had a crush on you if you were a female mage and was seen tortured by the rebel mages. He advocated for killing them all.
He was in Dragon Age: Origins.
As for companions, from a previous thread we have this image that seemingly represents the party members:
We have confirmed the following members:
Vivienne
Varric
Cassandra
Iron Bull
Solas
The Gray Warden
So that leaves the first, the fifth, the sixth and the seventh in that image.
The first definitely looks like Cullen.

The overhead tactical view from DA:O is coming back. That being said, the action is more fast paced than DA:O as there are dodge rolls and ranged weapons warriors can use to bring enemies closer to them.
Personally, I imagine I'll use tactical to position my mage and ranged rogue, give them targets and centers for AoE and run a tank in real-time myself. 3rd party member will just be up to who I like in terms of personality or abilities.
Ugh, that would suck. He was a completely forgettable character in the first two games.

Varric was the best member of that cast, IMO. So happy to see that he's back.
Too expensive.
He's not even close to funny. The cringy one-liner in the trailer says it all really...
I dont even remember him...
I'm going off of the other thread, where it was presented as likely official art. See this post specifically.
If it's not official, then I'm a little confused on how they picked those specific nine, with the specific outfits.
Nah, that Vivienne girl, is hotter.

Anyway, didn't play any of the previous games, but this looks pretty cool to me, so i think, unless the reviews are/reception is absolute shit, i'll give it a shot.

Cullen being or not being a love interest will cause a rift to form at the bsn. I'm hoping for 'not' as those tears will be the sweetest.
Trailer looks awesome but now that's it for previews/info for me. I don't want to know anything more until release which will be the first game I play on my yet to be acquired ps4 and it will be glorious. My Qunari Inquisitor awaits.
