Elie Young @elidoooooG’day @davidgaider! So it’s Valentine’s Day today - if you have the time to, can you tell us what your DA characters’ dream dates would be like? Thanks! David Gaider @davidgaiderAlistair's would probably start off as something which seems lame - like he takes you bowling. Then you realize he's rented the entire place, because he remembered your anniversary, and has it all set up with candles so he can clumsily serenade you while blushing the entire time. Dorian's dream date would be some elaborate extravaganza which you both decide to ditch halfway through to head down to the worst dive in the city. There you end up in a big fight with sailors. Who you then drink shots with after the fight's over until you all pass out. Fenris's dream date would probably involve raiding a magister's Tevinter mansion, and then - excited like a schoolboy - he demonstrates his latest choreography for you amidst the ruins. Plus, he brought wine. Zevran's dream date would involve him taking you on a tour of Antiva while he plays a mandolin. All the locals seem to know him and bring out cakes and other delightful treats. Eventually it turns out to be the lead-up to an assassination. After the fight, he apologizes with sex. Cassandra's date is taking you to a play of Varric's first novel. Her delight is palpable. You arranged to have her dragged on stage to play a character... at first she protests , but then plays the part perfectly. After, you walk along the pier while she talks about her dreams. Morrigan's dream date is taking you to break into a tomb full of musty tomes. You read passages to each other while she laughs at your interpretations of the text. As you're leaving, she suddenly remembers to tell you she had a lovely time. You're not allowed to call it a date. Zev-lol. Cass-and thats why she's my cyber waifu. Morrigan-LOOOOOLL

Patrick Weekes @patrickweekesWhen your joke plot suggestion turns into a self-call-out: “But what if Splosions Then badass line Then more splosions Then five carefully selected words break the fucking hearts of everyone who got emotionally invested End with kissing while splosions in background” “You are too late, vhenan....”

The elves borrow elements from First Nations, Roma and Jewish cultures, but I would not say that they are BASED on them.
I think there are real dangers in linking a fantasy race with a real-life culture, especially in the context of a video game.

Not necessarily elves overall (which is not news for me - I've had a friend who disliked elves as a concept and how they're usually utilized in fiction). Plus, I think she exaggerates her elf hate for the sake of a running joke, just like it's a running joke between us that Weekes keeps breaking our hearts to squeeze fan tears out...

Then maybe Gaider should not have done that.

Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes Okay, random nerd question: How would YOU describe the sound of the dragon growls in DAI? My brain helpfully supplied “gasoline sloshing around in a half-empty gas can,” which nobody in the room got. (You can hear some here)

David Gaider @davidgaiderI'm pretty sure Shale's dream date would be going to a clay pigeon factory. The two of you would destroy larger and larger batches of clay pigeons. Between batches Shales would laugh and maybe dance a little jig. I have a nasty feeling that her dream date would be going on a real bird shoot. Clay pigeons might be called by a bird name but they don't look like them and certainly feathers don't fly when hit. She'd also want dog along to go fetch the birds when hit so she could end with a pile of them at her feet. I imagine her dream job would be as a game keeper on a noble's estate organising grouse and peasant shoots.

Unfortunately in this day and age it is modern to be offended about everything. And then making a rally to stop whatever offended them. Or something.
I know I'm mentally fucked, but freedom and democracy aren't just words you can throw around. It takes taking a step back and realizing that people should have the same freedoms as you. They have the same right to say what they want as you do - or we're no longer truly free.
Maybe if we remembered the old saying that "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me" maintaining this would be so much easier.
And now for my rightful punishment for acting out againist rules. I accept it.

Also, a UX designer transferring over to DA4 indicates they have at least something for her to play around with, right? Like a level has been designed? *clings to her "Christmas 2019 Release" straws*

Y'know, even if they do have lots of things cooked up, I'd rather have them go for 2021 or late 2020 at the very earliest. In order to polish the thing as much as possible.
