Schmooples' Den! The DA News Discussion Thread

Yep, I just hope they have all the tool transitions sorted out at last

Frostbite is like a 5th year quarterback that was a high draft pick and has shown flashes of promise, but you are still (perhaps, foolishly) waiting for them to reach their full potential.

Considering what they had to go through with Inquisition, I would certainly hope that experience has helped them - to some degree - in planning out how to mitigate the faults of the engine.

The most suspicious part is that it’s written in English rather than Trade Tongue. What are these otherworldly symbols??? Some manner of apostate witchcraft, no doubt.

Very late reply but I'm surprise Murder Pope got the mention and not Liar, Liar Baby-Killer.

Mary Kirby @biomarykirby
To be fair, that... could be a number of characters in DAI.

More confirmation they are working “on the next one”. Yay!

Lol. I got an email earlier about redeeming an Origin access code, and I thought my account had been hacked, as I never signed up for it. The email said nothing about it being a reward for 2FA.

Funny memory that I don’t know if I ever told @patrickweekes. One time, @mike_Laidlaw invited me to play ME3 multiplayer. At that point I only knew Patrick by reputation and I found them incredibly intimidating in the most ‘oh god they’re so good at their job’ sort of way.

They were very nice to the cinematic designer they didn’t know at all and I think I came across like some kind of weirdo. Now they’re one of my best friends and I am incredibly privileged to get to work with them.

Just one of those things. If you ever have that ‘oh god they’re too cool to talk to -me-‘ feeling, they almost never are. Most of the time people are very chill.

Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes
I'm chill unless people don't get on the objective in money waves.
(And I am glad you joined and glad I got to know you, dude.)

David Gaider @davidgaider
Also if the subject of Supernatural boyfriends comes up.

Jon Renish @jonrenish
Oh hey!
My team at @bioware hiring an 'Engine Programmer' for #DragonAge!
That's pretty cool!

Someone, somewhere, is still going to complain about MP-only when they could wait until a day when it's actually announced to be MP-only.

And I'll be enjoying it.

True DAI story:
9AM, 3 months from cert, senior lead comes into the room and says, “Hey guys - what if we-“. I cut him off with “hold that thought. One sec.”
Uncork bottle.
Long drink directly from bottle.
Recork bottle, back on shelf.
“OKAY. Hit me with the idea now.”
