First up, we have Scout Lace Harding. This dwarven rogue is probably the most recognizable confirmed party member, as she played a pretty pivotal role in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Harding was the player’s scout in the 2014 RPG, and as has become a tradition in Dragon Age, a fan-favorite side character is getting a bigger role in a sequel. BioWare describes her as having a “big heart, a positive outlook, and a ready bow,” which all lines up with what we’ve seen of her so far. But what is surprising is that Harding will have “unexpected magical powers,” so there’s still plenty more to learn about our old friend this time around.
The official character bio describes Harding as loving “adventure, animals, and nature and is fiercely protective of her family and friends.” As an archer Rogue, most of her abilities are suited for long-range combat. Here are her abilities.
- Seismic Shot
- Heavy Draw
- Shred
- Adrenaline Rush
- Soothing Potion
Harding is voiced by Ali Hillis, who reprises her role from Dragon Age: Inquisition. BioWare fans will know her best for her role as Liara T’Soni in the Mass Effect series, but she also is prominent in the Final Fantasy series, having voiced Final Fantasy XIII protagonist Lightning in the XIII trilogy and various spin-offs.
