BioWare, please put the "BioWare: Stories and Secrets from 25 Years of Game Development" book on Amazon.co.uk or something, it won't ship from amazon.com to the UK and all the other retailers on Penguinrandomhouse or whatever it's called are North American from what I can see.
We might have to do a NA to UK mail out individually if they can't set that up. I would hate to think that Europe doesn't have access to this.
Also, Threaddad, that new profile pic is stunning. Naturalement, non?

I'd say just give it some time to show up on the European sites. I'd be very surprised if this was NA only.
In this 2018 GDC talk, former BioWare creative director Mike Laidlaw details some of the most important lessons he's learned about how narrative fits within games and how writers or narrative designers tasked with bringing stories to life can gel into cohesive storytellers, while still working well with the larger game team.
I'm working from home right now too- and it's ridiculous hard to get anything done with kids preschool closed. Not to mention my husband lost his job Friday along with several others and my state has just been ordered to lock down. I wish I had a new dragon age game to play right now BUT animal crossing is helping. (be my friend if you have AC)
I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe. It's scary and uncertain times but I can't think of anything in my lifetime that literally everyone on all corners of the planet is going through together. So we may be staying home, but we are definitely not alone. And that's comforting.

girltriesgames @girltriesgames I wish #DragonAge 4 could magically come out early while I have so much time on my hands...
Erelan Ghilain @erelanghilain Can we just take into consideration that this might speed up the process or @bioware might just give in and give us a teaser. Though I find it more likely that @biomarkdarrah will do it anyways with how bored he will get being at home...he'll do it just to get a reaction from us

Sorry about the last part guys, I don't know how to insert the gif... I thought this might be relevant, although I don't know what to make of that reply...

Probably signifying his boredom of being stuck at home.
One day, the magic will come back. All of it. Everyone will be just like they were. The shadows will part, and the skies will open wide. When he rises, everyone will see. -Sandal Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a world to save. Again. -Inquisitor

Ah, okay. Well hopefully that other person is right and they release something.
Come on EA/Bioware, EA Play isn't going to happen anyway so why wait if you were going to show anything. Even if it's not a trailer, just some concrete information.

Imperator Furiåsa @devilkitten I just figured out what the text about Solas I’ve been noodling on will be named: A Villain of Utmost Refinement and Grace: Making the Case Why Solas is Among the Best Game Villains Yet
Based primarily on the Trespasser DLC and the very end of Inquisition.
So, okay, I know I work at BioWare and all, but I’m still playing the games the studio made 10 years ago and I can’t stop analyzing just because I work there. Sorry not sorry.

I get their overall point, but there are a few things I don't agree with and a couple lore things that are just wrong in that article (for example Darkspawn don't rape the women being turned into Broodmothers).
Ugh... that article was a rough slog. Why must everything be so micro analyses to the point the analysis becomes a farce? Sometimes things aren’t about the white male patriarchal slant..... sometimes shit is scary or disturbing because we are human. The Brood Mother wasn’t terrifying because it was “other” in terms of fat snd female; it was terrifying because a being was warped by an outside force and everything it was, was ripped away.

Can we stop the micro analysis if shit like this?
Micro analysis is literally her job, she's an UX Designer. She also makes really beautiful jewelry.
I guess it depends on whether the micro analysis is correct. Personally, I never thought the broodmothers were about fear of the female reproductive system or about “othering” fat people (which includes me) - I thought they demonstrated how horrific the darkspawn were, that they were so unnatural they could only reproduce by transforming women into grotesque, tentacled monsters that acted like baby factories.
If they had just done that to women, that might be sexist, but the darkspawn also turn men into ghouls. The ghouls in Inquisition were pretty disgusting. The first time I saw them, I thought they were zombies. So it’s not like anyone’s having a good time during a Blight.
But like I said in the other thread (before I deleted my post, sorry about that), they’ll probably get rid of the broodmothers in the future. BioWare seems to be putting a lot of effort into being inclusive these days and I can see broodmothers offend people.
