Schmooples' Den! The DA News Discussion Thread

Just a heads-up, Origin's having another sale if there's something (straggler DLC?) you're looking for...

The sugar rush would account for the hyperactive aggression. On the Storm Coast I found it a bigger challenge not to engage in battle with a bear.

At one point during development we were to go the Nahashin Marshes, so that might be it.

Good question. If it wasn't just cut completely from the game, whatever was relevant to that quest could have been divvied up in any number of ways (WT, folded into other quests).

And just in case it was of interest, here's a screenshot referencing the Marshes.

Omg @sylvf1 is going to be so happy.

I am! I named Betyar in the Hissing Wastes after my father's childhood dog, so it's touching to learn the name stuck with someone this way. I'm really happy the poster and this pooch found each other.

He's got enough o' my money already...

Hate to bother you. Normally I try to avoid pestering devs, but I had a thoughtful question related to Dragon Age: Inquisition and its combat systems. During your time working on the game what were some of the biggest takeaways you learned, and feedback (good and bad) you received, regarding the games combat mechanics?

Any background on who Matt Rhodes is? Name sounds familiar but bit hard to place all the devs.

If I got promoted for a big project then I would also say something like that.

Today was my last day at BioWare. After 12 years.. that's a heck of a lot of feels.

Tonight I got to write my name up at our local pub, alongside many other amazing peers over the years, and it reminded me of a lot of folks no longer here that I miss dearly.



There's really no easy way to sum up all the fantastic experiences and friendships across our studios, our partners, and in our community, that I've been so fortunate to have been a part of over these years.

Here's my parting email to the studio since it also goes out to all of those I've had to pleasure to work with before, and helped to make it a fun and unforgettable ride, but couldn't get that email.



To be clear, this is my own decision. I've been wanting to take some time to disconnect and explore a couple ideas for next chapter in my career.

So what's next ... well, watch this space



- Well... shit. 

I didn't know he was the lead producer for DA4. I knew he was the producer for Andromeda. Should I assume Mark Darrah is taking his place? Would make sense, no?

At least he claimed that title on his LinkedIn page. He was also the producer of Awakening and one of the lead producers of Andromeda (which can be seen in the credit lists in game). Mark Darrah is the executive producer, the biggest boss on that project.
