Game development is a stressful job
Any job where deadlines are an everyday thing is stressful. I work in procurement....if we don't get what we need to build what our customers have ordered, we don't make shipment, which means revenue is pushed out to the next month (or farther). Happens enough times, customers will start to go elsewhere.

It's probably futile to argue which job is more stressful, however game development is pretty well known to be quite high there with months-long crunches prior to game launches and not necessarily certain future (especially with latest waves of layoffs). Potential abuse or negativity on social channels is another thing.

True, but trust me, contract manufacturing is not much different. After the market crash of 2008, approx. half our employees were laid off. This year, we've ordered about half a year's worth of material in about a month. Crazy times.

I think so? I thought we found out about the release date of WoT v2 before Inquisition had actually launched, though.
Either way, any news on the upcoming release of WoT v3 would be good news. A girl can dream.
I mean, Vol. 1 gave us the details on every nation and organization of Thedas, and Vol. 2 showed us more about the characters and some new tidbits of lore. Between those two, seems like it's already a full package. Not that I'd complain if we actually got a Vol. 3, but what would it even talk about? Off the top of my head? -Kal Sharok -The voshai -The secret forgotten ones worshipping dalish -Those across the sea -The kossith -Sha brytol/titans expanded details after da4 reveals -evanuris and the Elven empire expanded details after da4 reveals -the land never touched by blight to the west that the warden has gone to investigate |

Patrick Weekes @patrickweekesWhoever you are: You are not your work. You are not your numbers. You are not your productivity. You are the kindness you share and the stories you leave behind. You are valid. You are worthy of love and respect. You are enough. Patrick Weekes @patrickweekesThank you, autocorrect, for almost making this “Whoever you ate”. John Epler @eplerjcDragon Age Lead Writer endorses cannibalism. Patrick Weekes @patrickweekesI was going for iZombie-style motivation:  Allan Schumacher allanschumacherReminds me of BSN discussions about whether or not Anders was a cannibal. _________________________________________________ This cannibalism theme keeps returning even in most unexpected places

Melanie B. Iadonisi @legimelTo what type of music would Cullen listen to? I bet he's a classic rock type of guy 🎸🎵🎶 ,,Hotel California'', ,,More than a feeling" and songs like this. What do you think? Maybe @bbattye will tell us?🤗 Charlotta Karotta @schokomillaI think, he would love the 70s and 80s Rock Ballads, like you can hear on the "Kuschel Rock" compilations^^ something like "The very first time" from Robin Beck. Or "Here I Go Again" from Whitesnake Melanie B. Iadonisi @legimelYesssssss 😍😍😍 Brianne Battye @bbattye
Haha hmmm... I know what *I* listened to while writing him, but what would he like. I could see the classic/80s rock thing you are suggesting! One of the songs on my Cullen writing playlist that was a bit of an outlier but that I thought he would like himself was Curse Me Good by The Heavy: Charlotta Karotta @schokomillaOh and what do you think Blackwall would love to hear? I think, Classic Rock, too. Led Zeppelin or Deep Purlple maybe. Oh, "Babe, I"m gonna leave you" would fit perfectly. And "Sail away" from Deep Purple. @sherylchee what do you think?😊🤭 Sheryl @sherylcheeYes! Classic rock 100%. I actually made a classic rock playlist for him when I was writing.

But... the lore keeps expanding with each chapter, so why assume that what we have is most of what there is?

Makes sense, honestly.

You could name your griffon 'Hawkspawn' (or, 'Hawkespawn'?). It sort of fits the pattern.

I'm just not interested in Griffons. Hawks, Eagles, Dragons...sentient six-limbed cats ...yes. Griffons? Meh.
