Romonster of House Romonster @anameformyselfWhat quote from a video game has stuck with you? Why? Cori Nicole @genevraelFine dwarven crafts.  "I have an excellent sense of dramatic timing. And good hair." "Why don't you start small, and leave the chains for when you're more experienced." "Let's be more specific. I don't do anything that involves children or animals." "What's a Mekel?" "Is it brilliant or horrible you play Diamondback with my dog?" "I don't think 'sense' is really my strong suit." "Don't worry. Helping people and killing people are what I'm best at." "You should pay someone else. Like me. I like being paid." "That does ring a bell. Hard to remember... I've killed so many things." "At least it can't get worse! Today, anyway. It's pretty late." |

"Is it brilliant or horrible you play Diamondback with my dog?"
The best part is that the dog is a better player than Anders! 
Also: "Want a sandwich?" and "Only when we're out of pancakes."
Hmmm....not sure what's up with the food theme - I'm not even hungry atm.

cAn I GEt yOu a LaDDeR sO yoU cAn GeT oFF mY BaCK Didn't think about the tone of the voice my original character had, just chose the one I liked. Now I love this sentence enough that I only use the Angry voice for all my wardens  . Also "Feeling a little Thorny, are we?" makes me laugh every time. Same! It also makes me want to get a tiny ladder tattooed to my back. |

All these, sooo much. But just to add:
"I was drawn in by the intoxinating aroma of stale piss and vomit."
"So, I shouldn't slit my wrists and dance naked under the moonlight just to fit in?" "Corridors lined with explosives and darkspawn galore? It's not even my birthday!" And let's not forget whole monologue purple Hawke gets if you go meet Anders alone in the Chantry |

Let’s not forget this highly inappropriate line about boneless women.
It’s even worse in light of that fact that Hawke’s own mother is murdered by the same serial killer.

My favorites of rememberable lines are probably:
Help for the mage, please!
I'm too pretty to die!
and from MP:
Elementalist:
I'm dying over here!
I'm not whining, it really hurts!
That was me! I did that!
I got one, did you see that? Did you?! Never mind.
Fetch this, fetch that. Anyone else getting tired of being a glorified porter?
Virtuoso:
ZITHER! has just the thing for this.
That's what I'm for. Breaking barriers!
Arcane Warrior:
Did somebody try the ham they had at camp yesterday?
(other player): Yes, and I’m still regretting it.

John Epler @eplerjc
Game narrative wisdom gleaned from a decade of doing various bits of it - collaboration is where you get the best work.
Isolating narrative from gameplay, or vice versa, is how you get clunky and totally incoherent experiences.
The best experiences I've had are when narrative reinforces design mechanics and vice versa. Yakuza is a great example of this. STALKER is another.
Knowing the strengths and limitations of your genre means you can tell a story that works. You can, of course, tell any story in any genre, but certain mechanics and systems - even as 'simple' as where the camera sits - are going to influence that narrative.
Games are a different medium than film, or theatre, or television, or novels.
It requires different skills and different knowledge. Some of it is transferrable, but there is plenty that isn't.

So, my friend has reached DAI and he's had issues with quite a few weird bugs, and then this happened... Kinda wish the devs could see it, would be hilarious to see their reactions! Saarath does something similar if he’s killed before the first wave of demons. He jumps up into the air and then... never comes back down. You can’t land the finishing focus blast because he’s stuck in midair, completely out of range. If you really want to see wacky glitches, playing an assassin partied up with Cole and Sera (+fully upgraded Mighty Offense and Pitch Grenades for everyone) reveals some truly wild stuff. Like Corypheus bouncing up and down at 1hp, unable to die because he never summoned his dragon. |

I've found myself with an extremely strong love for Solas despite everything. You write characters-esp liars-beautifully. Did you expect people to be as in love w & taken by Solas as they were/are? I assume that was intention but was it more/less effective than u thought itd be?
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes
I really wanted to make sure that Solas didn’t feel like a stock villain, that even people who disagree with him and want to kill him accept that he has a reason for what he’s doing. Having his romance hit some as hard as it did was unexpected and touching.
