What kind of game is this!?!  One where food supply is not going to be an issue. "Solas, old boy, would you like to try out this new bath we've designed. Don't worry about the vegetables, they have been chosen to make sure you develop a fine fragrance." Add some milk and boom, you got some quality gelato.

Does mark Darrah being out of the loop on the anthem abomination mean he’s back on dragon age.

Melissa Davidson deedliteOur embedded QA just ran up to me and excitedly high fived me for making something that was (in his words), "The most fun he's had so far." This is what I live for. 🦄 So is Melissa Davidson a quest designer? |

I imagine an embedded QA would deal with prototype stuff too, not just consumer ready stuff so it's not necessarily 'playable.'

But it does indicate that there is some piece of code for some game that is in a state where it can be tested. Please feel free to enjoy at least a small amount of hype.

Imperator Furiåsa@devilkitten 11h11 hours ago More Okay, so they're stringing TWO boss fights up. At the start of the game. Without me knowing what the F is going on. If I didn't have to play this game for work, I would have quit long ago. Actually, if I didn't have to play this game for work, I would never have played it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This might be interesting. The UX designer Asa was playing God of War 'for work' (and criticizing that game heavily). Axe-throwing in DA4 confirmed.  |

If its the new GoW, those two boss fights are neither sprung on you without warning nor without you having some downtime in between them. Me thinks her personal preferences are influencing her opinion of the game's mechanics. Maybe she's not that good at throwing the axe, yet. lol
Sounds like the first of those two fights made her frustrated and hate everything, so when the second one happened a short(ish) while after, she is having none of it. (Which is valid, cus GoW combat is kinda like Witcher 3 on Death March from what I can tell and that can be a PITA sometimes.) I mean, she's user experience, and part of user experience involves how frustrated your game makes your players feel. Might have been a good idea to assign this game to someone who likes that style of combat, though. Or assign them to a game that is more comparable to DA's combat. I seriously doubt we're getting GoW level difficulty combat in DA4.

Maybe they're not aiming for the level of difficulty, but I think they may be going for something similar in DA4. If that's the case, I see weapon-specific talents going down a different route... That said, I also have 0 experience in developing games, so that's that.

The company producing the game need to consider how a bad start to a game can lose them sales. Player frustration might mean lower sales in any future expansions or the next game in the series. I've seen a number of forums for different games where the cry goes up that the game is being "dumbed down" and the game needs to be made harder. They ignore the fact that losing sales can lead to companies opting out or folding. The cost of producing many modern games is high enough that just selling to the to the "hard core" fans would increase the cost of the games. Something to do with cutting off nose to spite face!

In response to a discussion between me and thats1evildude on Twitter, related to the last tweet:Imperator Furiåsa @devilkittenI would argue that game development is a collaborative effort if anything, so I doubt you have anything to worry about.

She's not so hot about one game a lot of people happen to like (I'd like to point out that for some reason she is playing it for work) and you're writing both her and all of DA4 off. You really need to chill. That's all I have to say here.

Okay...
Tea, kinda loaded and unfair to publicly call someone here out on behavior that has not actually occurred here, if you aren't gonna show the actual quotes you are referencing. It just leaves the rest of us to make assumptions on hearsay and insinuation rather than the actual behavior.
EvilDude, you know perfectly well deleting a social media post is not equivalent to apologizing. If you think you stepped over a line, you should apologize. Why would you even go after her on Twitter for her opinion on GoW anyway? I thought you were being facetious with the "BLASPHEMY" stuff earlier?
