Is anyone able to explain what is going on with the below?  John Epler is posting these things on bluesky and initially I was worried he was having a stroke, but other people seemed to be clued in as to what is happening? ----- And I realise it is some kind of code or translation, but I don't know of what. It's ROT13 cipher which translates into
the name is a Ralph Bakshi reference.
internally we called it Double Dragons for so long I really wanted to name the dragons Hammer and Spike but there was no way to make it feel lore appropriate

He posted a bunch of other insights into spoilers -Companion-
I get people feeling that Bellara and Neve should end up together but, with everything that happened (and happens) with Cyrian, we really felt that neve becoming a sister to her was the path that made the most sense.
Bellara’s approach to romance is also very much ‘if it happens great’ but she’s not going to really lose sleep over it or push for it.
-Epilogue-
The word choice of balanced, whispered, guided is VERY DELIBERATE. No one was forced or coerced or controlled into making any choices.
It’s extremely important that ultimately everyone made their own choices. They still own the consequences of these decisions, because dragon age is still a series about people making decisions of their own free will and those decisions having consequences.

Spoilers for the end of the game, specifically the secret post credits scene
This is what I already assumed, but it's good to hear! Like if the Executors were the people who made sure Loghain heard the rumour that Caillan was going to throw Anora over for Celene or tipped Bartrand off about the red lyrium Thaig's location, I have no problem with that at all.

I think Weekes has done this before. I can't remember what the code is called though. Rot13! On my phone right now so I don't have the decoder handy but Google should help!

Why couldn't he have just said that? Probably just having a bit of fun. I doubt he's required to interact on social media with fans.

Apologies if this has already been posted - but I just came across the narrative artwork that was done by Nick Thornborrow and man it is interesting to see some of what could have been and what did come to pass. Dragon Age: The VeilguardUnsurprisingly I am so here for all the Emmrich ones. |

Yea hI don' tthink I' mfa rfrom finishing on th e Xbox tha tis as it feels lik ethings a restartin t oramp up on th estory and I know I' msomewhre in betwee nth ehalf wa ypoin tand he en do fAct 2. I hav estarted m yfirs tplaythrou ghon PC bu tI've onl yplayed th eprologu es ofa rthere. Bu tI' mputting the rest on hol dunti lI finis hon the Xbox. Mostl ybecause I don' tthin kit'll take to omuc hlonge rand hopefull yI ca nge ta fwe moer games installed As a heads up, the final "Point of no return" part of the game is longer than you might think. So if you're hoping to go through it in one-sitting, be prepared to put at least 2-4 hours away. I' mno ttoo worried about competing it all in one sittin ga sI approac h all m ygames in a sense of i ttakes me as long as it takes me. I just sensed i tbecaus eElgarnan tok t oth efiel dan dled Rook's tea mint oa trap. Antagonists onl ytend t otak eactions lik ethi swhe nthe ysense yo ut obe a real threat t othei rplqans in games much like when the Envy demon did th easme t oth eInquisitor in DAI an d I als ohad Solas talking du et othe Veil thinning du et owha tElgarnan was doing. Thiese things togethe ri swha tmad em ethink "Hello I must be getting nea rthe end" I don't mind though as I do plan on playing multiple times either on my Xbox or PC

Watch Rook take on foes where every strand of hair moves with lifelike realism. Frostbite and BioWare pushed the boundaries of visual fidelity with advanced Strand Hair technology in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

So apparently, The Game Awards is leaning towards allowing Elden Rings expansion (Shadow of the Erdtree) as a possible GotY contender.

I'll admi tther hasn' tbeen any what yo umight call stand out games thi syear. Bu tI would sa yhter ae rmoer desrving nominations than an Elden Ring expansion. I can think of at leas t 4or 5 offth etop0 o fm yhead. Bo ttha tI bough any of them mostl ybecaus ethey'e rnot m typ eo fgame or they'e rno tavailabl eon m yplatform. Dragon's Dogma 2, Helldivers 2, Black Myth Wukong, Stellar Blade an dFF7 Rebirth all spring t omind as I believe mos tif not all of thos erecieved pretty high praise. As much as I'd like i ttoo I don' tse Veilguard winning mostl ybecause of alll the hate that has been aimed at it. Bu tend of the da yI don' tneed other peoples permission t olike a game just m yown and I lik ewhat I've seen with Veilguard enough t omak eit m yGOTY

I think Expansions/DLC should have their own category for awards, but I don't know if there would be enough notable DLC releasing (on a yearly basis) to justify such a category. Expansions are quite rare when contrasted against DLC's.
