"When we can talk about it, we will" huh.

Curious wording.

MY SPECULATION IS WHITE HOT! UNH!!!!


DANCE! I'm dancing. Y'all.

I'm right.

I'm calling it now... with the rest of you.

UNH!

UNH!

Austin is in my backyard. I love that town. It's just hot as there, though. OMG. I am done with this heat. 

Do you remember the pen-and-paper Dark Sun setting? This is it.

The reason they force all their devs to use it, is because everything is shared among EA's companies. That means they can expand the potential of the toolset with every game, and also have a big catalogue of ready made animations and gameplay to draw upon when making new games, which eventually makes those games cheaper to make, meaning they get more for their money.

At least that's the theory.

EA also own Frostbite, so they don't have to pay anyone any licenses to use it.

It's also one of the most technically impressive engines on the market, so it has a lot of life left in it.

That's great news! She's a very good writer, though SciFi isn't her usual bailiwick, and she's a Mass Effect fan. I'm actually looking forward to what she does with this.

I have. What exactly are you referring to?

This is my hope in maybe a title or two. A set of end-user tools (like the one provided with Origins or even the GECK for Fallout games) that would allow us to customize the single-player campaign to allow overhauls and such. It spurns a lot of creativity among fans and as a consumer that's a VERY BIG selling point. It doesn't appeal to console or casuals, but to passionate and creative fans (and don't tell me we're not in abundance with them here) we can add our flavor to the vanilla portion. I completely overhauled Origins and New Vegas to suit my liking. The story and custscenes all remained the same. I just upped the ante on enemies in certain areas or scenes and made things happen to more of my liking. (In Origins, with the Dalish and werewolves, I made the werewolves less numerous in the wild and supplemented them with dire wolves. Inside the caves, I tripled the amount of werewolves and supplemented them with more of the shadow-types. I spent a ridiculous amount of hours of doing this because this was my way to show creativity. I can't draw, paint, play an instrument or write. However, I can take something that exists and mod it in a way that doesn't take away anything that developers did... I just re-arranged it so I can be that arm-chair quarterback. I just wish I could mod for more (ahem... cough, cough) flexibility with love interests. (Looking at you Morrigan and Leliana. Looking at you Miranda and Samara. Looking at you Isabela and Merill. Looking at you Peebee and Cora.) Come on... 

(Only in a video game. Full disclosure: I'm deleting this in a day or so.)
