It's been a big E3 for me so far on two very different fronts: Dragon Age and Pokemon. (And suddenly I'm wondering what a fusion between those universes would look like. Morrigan would have a team full of Dark types. And Flemeth would have all those ridiculously OP Dragons. I wonder if Anders would join Team Plasma?)
The big news about Dragon Age is that it's being held over until northern autumn 2014. I'm torn between thinking this is a good thing for the game overall and wailing and rending my garments. HOW CAN I WAIT ANOTHER YEAR AND A HALF? Especially when the trailer looks like this? And that's all in-engine footage, not CGI. At least I know when I'll be replacing my ageing PC - some time between when the optimum specs for this are released and launch day.
( Minor spoilers at best, and only for the trailer. )
As for Pokemon, I'd started to think the rumours of a new type were true a few weeks ago, when it became increasingly apparent that they were holding off on revealing Sylveon's typing for a reason. And now we know! THERE ARE ACTUALFAX FAIRY POKEMON! Take that, OP Dragons. (Merrill would have some Fairy types in her team, for sure. Especially if Fairy/Dark is a thing that exists.)
I'll be interested to see how many old Pokemon they change in the switchover - we already know that Marill, Jigglypuff and Gardevoir are becoming part-Fairy, and I'd lay money on the Clefairy line as well. (It's in the name, after all.) Marill was an unusual choice, although it is in the Fairy egg group. The only one I really hope they'll change is Togekiss - Normal/Flying is a boring type for such an odd-looking critter, and I think Fairy/Flying would suit it much better.
