That does make me wonder who actually funds the Wardens? Following times of blight I imagine grateful nobles, and perhaps the chantry, are providing some level of funding, but who is keeping the bread buckets full during times of peace? Perhaps a lot of adventures into the deep roads are not only for the purpose of keeping the finger on the darkspawn pulse, but also for loot? It also stands to reason some Wardens are from wealthy families - perhaps those families make willing donors. Maybe they have a Patreon and offer cool rewards based on how much you donate. Like one sovereign can get you in their Discord server.

AC Shadows has been mired in controversy though about its treatment of Japanese culture, so if Bioware hold their nerve they could still come out ahead at least when it comes to game awards even if AC still out performs them in sales. Oddly enough, I don't consider AC one of those Aiming-For-GotY franchises. I don't believe an AC game has ever won GotY. They just continue to refine their formula and make barrels of money. And ofc, Ubi knew the controversy they were going to generate, and it only helps their marketing efforts. So it could it be a good year for BioWare on the awards front, especially since there's no clear frontrunner for GotY so far. Yeah Bioware hav ea sho ta tit but I don' tthin k that's a priority gettin git t osell well an dget back into EA's good graces is But i treall ydepen dson how peopl efeel about some of th egames tha twere released earli rein the yea rlike Helldivers 2 an dDragon's Dogma 2 as well. As we know those games sold rather well. I don' tthin kthre's one real contender but I thin ki tdepends on how well Veilguard is recieved oncce it's out in the wild.

Following times of blight I imagine grateful nobles, and perhaps the chantry, are providing some level of funding, but who is keeping the bread buckets full during times of peace? I seem to recall that Josephine was able to extract some money on the basis that Blackwall was working with us because after he was exposed as not Blackwall or even a Grey Warden at all, people were asking for their money back. So, I assume that individual Wardens probably rely on people providing them with bed and board when they are out in the field simply because citizens feel reassured to have a Warden staying the night. Then if something threatens the village and they deal with it, they probably have a whip round generally to give them something more. Then the HQ for the particular region probably gets regular donations from the nobility for the area so they will deal with any monster problems on their behalf. They seem to have good relations with the dwarves, so perhaps they make the odd donation too. Weisshaupt must rely on donations or levies or something because there is no way they are supporting themselves off the land up there.

As long as the gear you get does not come with a Durability meter, I don't mind. I really, really hate this game mechanic. BG3 introduced a food mechanic. What a croc of s**t. Bio better not introduced something similar with DA4. I say this because of the ever changing combat mechanics with each new game. Maybe crafting/upgrading your gear comes with a limited shelf life. Whatever, Bio, don't you dare introduce this and similar crap "features" in DA4 or make it optional for players who feel a wee bit masochistic.
As to the Wardens, they get a bad deal from the "joining". The +2 in Con and +2 in Wil is insufficient, imo, when their lifespan is diminished year after year because of their new found resistance to the Taint. The dreams aren't a picnic either. What's the mortality rate for the Joining? To me, becoming a Warden is like joining the French Foreign Legion.

That does make me wonder who actually funds the Wardens? Following times of blight I imagine grateful nobles, and perhaps the chantry, are providing some level of funding, but who is keeping the bread buckets full during times of peace? They do it on their own. During down time, they run their business's to make up for their income. For instance, a few opened up a Brothel/Tavern called The Joining. A very popular establishment. Others opened a tavern called The Hanged Warden. Some become blacksmith's. There are self defense business's run by Wardens for people to better defend themselves. There's even an escort service called The Traveling Warden. They will escort whoever from one place to another. They will even protect anyone who is being bullied. Some Warden's work as normal workers in all kinds of businesses. One of the most popular business is call The Demonbusters. Their motto is, If there's something strange in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call, Demonbusters. They deal with demons, abominations, people who are stupid enough to merge with spirits and/or make deals with demons. A lot of them do. They become tresure hunters This is true though some families are not too happy about donating funds for their relative deciding to become a Warden.

I'm am sure people would pay plenty for artistic shirtless portraits of Thedas's heroes. Oghren can be Mr. Harvestmere.

It also stands to reason some Wardens are from wealthy families - perhaps those families make willing donors. Anderfels, probably. The Grey Wardens are basically nobility in Anderfels and the current First Commander is established to be more interested Anderfelian politics rather than leading the Wardens. And while I'm sure it means it means that Anderfelian Wardens are mostly interested in enriching and empowering themselves, specifically, they likely are rich enough to at least keep Weisshaupt afloat.

As long as the gear you get does not come with a Durability meter, I don't mind . I really, really hate this game mechanic. BG3 introduced a food mechanic. What a croc of s**t. Having armour and weapons that are subject to wear and tear or having to eat or rest periodically to maintain your strength is not something unique to BG3. Many old fantasy RPGs had these features because D&D had them and people wanted to reproduce that experience as closely as possible. I definitely recall having armour getting damaged and needing to get it repaired in at least one game that I've played. If it was too badly damaged it simply had to be discarded. In another game you picked apples from trees when you saw them and needed sufficient to make a journey from one area to another. The old BG1 and BG2 games by Bioware had the feature that required you to rest once in every 24 hours or you would become less effective at fighting through fatigue. This also allowed you to memorise the spells that you had used during the day, so sometimes you would choose to rest more often than once a day, usually after a major battle, because your spell pool had run low. Resting out in the open would leave you vulnerable to possible attack but if you paid to rest at an inn a good night's sleep was guaranteed. When the developers stopped using these features it was likely because too many players objected to them but if Larian had the feature in BG3 it was because they were trying to get as close as possible to the original Baldurs Gate games that people had loved.

Is Oghran evil twin of Oghren? No my mind and my fingers just do their own thing and are not always in sync these days. I think it has something to do with my age. I've noticed when checking through my posts that sometimes I have typed completely the wrong letter for some words for no apparent reason. Just ignore the anomalies and read what should be there.

I haven't seen man ypeople spea k badly of either gam etbh and the hate towards Helldivers was more aimed a tSony I think for the PSN stunt they tried to pull rather than the devs themselves as the devs went out their way to try to calm things down s oI' dstil the ythey'er both in contention. I' m not sayingeither will win but I'd be surprised if neither got nominated. As I thin kthe yaer the ones who hav estood out most so far. I do agree no one has reall ystood out tha tmuch and htis has been a quie tyear but those are the ones right up there atm. As for the release date thankfully w edon' thav eto wait too muc hlonger for tha tgiven that'll be revealed this month. Probabl ywithin the next week o r2 as I'd imagine they'd wan tt oge tthat out before Gamescom takes th eheadlines at the end of the month. I sa ythat because we know Veilguard won't be there so in order to get noticed they likely will need to do that befoer hand

An alternative would be a calendar of all our leading men (romances) to date. Now that would be interesting: Wintermarch: Lucanis Guardian: Blackwall Drakonis: Iron Bull Cloudreach: Davrin Bloomingtide:Dorian Justinian: Anders Solace: Solas August: Emmrich Kingsway: Alistair Harvestmere: Zevran Firstfall: Cullen Haring: Fenris I hadn't realized it was October/Harvestmere when our crew and Inky got sent into the alternative future at Redcliffe. At least based on what Fiona says when you ask her what the date is.

Is Oghran evil twin of Oghren? No my mind and my fingers just do their own thing and are not always in sync these days. I think it has something to do with my age. I've noticed when checking through my posts that sometimes I have typed completely the wrong letter for some words for no apparent reason. Just ignore the anomalies and read what should be there. That's kin dof m eas well plus I' mextra hampered with my disability which is why m ytypin gets bad at times

Aah... that explains it. I thought it was your input device. I gather you have a game pad controller instead of K&M.
