John Ebenger @ebengerjohnPeople are talking about crunch again, and coincidentally today marks 10 years since the Green Chicken crunch dinner incident on Dragon Age 2. Sometimes this is what Devs have to look forward to at 6 p.m. before going back to finish their work for the night. It was magical Jo Berry @joanna_BerryOn the crunch food scale with "actually decent goat curry" at one end and "indistinguishable pasta you've eaten for several nights running" at the other, this is what you scrape off the underside of the scale at the end of the night.

What'd you have for breakfast?
Pea green soup.
What'd you have for lunch?
Pea green soup.
What'd you have for dinner?
Pea green soup.
What'd you do in bed all night?
Uhh …
As far as crunch time is concerned, where's the Captain Crunch? BioWare, I am so disappoint.

Looking at the rest of the thread, which is full of DA2 devs reliving their trauma, I don't think any of the people who attempted to eat it know what it was meant to be either. I'm guessing it was a failed attempt at some kind of Thai curry? (Delicious if made properly. This one, um, not so much.)

It’s not a grey mush though. Unless Morrigan added something.

Weapon maintenance can be ok if its not ridiculous. Though that system mentioned can effect the environment, too, which is way more interesting. I guess they can use that to enact environmental changes over time. The guy in the vid mentioned the idea of having changes due to seasons, like ice melting as spring happens. Also, I'd think this could maybe apply to erosion we could theoretically see happen in a desert like the Silent Plains, or the Anderfells. Maybe even have something to do with shifting sand dunes?
I'd assume these environmental effects determined by AI could also be applied to the effects of spells, so it could be used as a way to enhance environmental damage/interactivity. In other words, this AI that determines how an object reacts to degradation over time can allow all pieces of the environment to react to being "degraded" by a spell or attack, ie burned, melted, corroded, blown away, etc. The advantage to an AI doing it is that it costs less resources and time than having a developer handcraft the destruction effects individually and instead the effect can just be applied dynamically to everything that's marked as destructible by the AI? This is just a guess on my end on how that could be used, of course.

I get the tenor that these changes could just be cosmetic. I might be wrong but hope I am not but it could be neat to say have a sword where ice is building up or your beard covered in sand.

Unlike the narrator, when I read the description on the patent, I didn't get the impression it would be about doing weapon repair.
Armor might show dents, weapons might show wear, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to do mx … ala Fallout.
That's what the weapon smith is for.
So yeah, I think this is going to be more cosmetic than another thing we need to do …
For sure, I don't want to drink x amount of water, eat y amount of food or find z amount of iron or to maintain body, armor and weapons.
On the other hand, I do want to spend at least 80 hours of game play in each run, searching for elf root.

Gareth Hanrahan @mytholder So, for various reasons, I'm rereading the HISTORY OF MIDDLE-EARTH books about the writing of Lord of the Rings. They're fascinating (for certain values of fascinating); what I'm going to do this time try to extract writing advice (thread)
...
Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw You know, someone once told me the only acceptable fantasy franchise would have to have the depth of Tolkien's work, but STRANGELY that same person was disinterested in letting my team fuck around with half-formed ideas for a decade. WEIRD.

Video: "New DRAGON AGE 4 DISCOVERY! Realistic Item & Environment Ageing!" thoughts? Well there's nothing specific in the patent that ties it BW (that I can see), so he's making a bit of leap there. But... it might be an accurate one - I remember BW was working on tarnish shaders for DA:I. Personally, I don't mind stuff getting dirty, then cleaning it up again. But I don't want some kind of gear degradation system. We have enough to keep track of with multiple party members. And lore-wise, magical gear can last centuries/millennia without degrading, so it'd only make sense for mundane items.
