All puzzles are easy ... in hindsight ... after googling the answer ...
Or if you still have the old guide books in easy reach and have written any puzzles in DLC in a notebook that is also in easy reach.

I like the puzzles, until I hate the puzzles? They have a charm, and they reek of BioWare. If overused or ridiculous (DAI had some really bad puzzles) they become a nuisance. Keep em in. Refine em. Riddle games are fun too, for me, and make sense in many fantasy scenarios. Look, I have your fodder. I generally prefer brain teasers of a more philosophical or mental nature instead of physical.

When you play Elden Ring but apparently can't quite let go of Dragon Age: I swear, I didn't realize she looked like Morrigan before everyone commented on it.

I also find it hillarious Elden Ring has a CC. What do you mean, it's trying to be all things to everyone. It does seem that game hits a lot of buttons for a lot of people. Not my bag baby, but yeah glad it's fun for them!

I also find it hillarious Elden Ring has a CC. I think if you mentally remove the freckles and change her eye color to her trademark yellow ones it would be more apparent. Fun fact, this is actually a prototype for my character in a future DA4.

I would be very excited if DA4 was a game where you are Morrigan, and have to tie up every one of her loose ends from Origins thru DAI. Still room for roleplaying. Fabulous voice actor. Guys that don't want to play as a girl? If they exist, fuck em. This would also be a fine DLC.

It's a cloud based app. At the moment, one is restricted to exporting your creation to Maya and Unreal engine.
Here is a basic intro to the program. Caveat is you need an account with Epic. I just hate it when they force you to sign up when the bloody thing is free. BTW, I believe this app was used to create and animate all the characters in Matrix Awakens Demo.

What if they're girls who don't want to play as a guy? Morrigan is a genital female, cis/hetero. Care to explain the joke, or what you're getting at? Cute devil's advocacy, but it doesn't apply here in the slightest.

Relax, just playing around no need to act up. Man, that's amazing dude. You managed to mansplain and criticize me, without answering the question. Assume now that I am perfectly calm and am asking the question out of genuine interest at figuring out how this joke works here, or what you mean. Can you answer the question?

Maciej Kurowski talked about "more personality than they have ever had in the past".
What does this mean? Hm.. let's look.
EA applied for a patent which is all about NPC behaviour and their ability to self-learn and react/adapt to the player's play style. ... not through some pre-written script responses. This AI algorithm can go sideways real quick. So, I'm guessing the AI routine(s) must have some form of end-point limiters to limit their reaction behaviour to some +/- degrees from centre. It appears at first glance to be very similar to the ME Paragon/Renegade scripts. So, why bother?
Dynamically adjusting NPC behaiour can use both play style and player choices. My question is why does an AI NPC react they way it does? It makes sense if the AI compares the player's choices and play style against the NPC moral base line. If so, then NPC must start in one of three states: negative, neutral or postive. Well, this is old hat. So, frankly, I'm unsure if the studio can pull this off in a new and satisfying form.
DDA is another recent EA patent application. The Dynamically Difficult Adjustment patent is about adjusting game difficulty in some +/- increment degree to keep the gamer playing longer. This more than likely is for shooter games. Also, a gamer's play profile is kept in a DB and used to determine the difficulty "setting" of a new game. I'm not sure if this is good or bad.
DA4 can benefit from "learning" NPCs. My question is does it learn from scratch?, does the game come from a preset of "learned" games played? or will it use dynamic data obtained from thousand of gamers playing the game in real time? And what about DDA? Will it be in DA4? Can I turn it off? Would I know if its part of the game?

@gaben7 I think Smilesja just asked if the girls who don't like playing as dudes should also be ignored (at least that's my interpretation). Again, how does this apply in any way to the situation? If the game PC is Morrigan, a female, then no person regardless of their gender, love or hate for furries, or anything else - can have this complaint. Specifically, if they are girls playing as a girl, that's period end of story. I will drop it now. Something isn't funny if it makes no sense whatsoever, so regardless of intent it was a weak joke that missed the mark by a mile. I will point this out every single time it happens, so if you want me to drop it, make better posts.

Whelp, I stopped by the BioWare gear booth at PAX East. It was a little bit of an odd setup. Nothing was on display, just a board of pictures and you told the booth workers what you wanted. I got an N7 pin.
PAX in general didn’t seem to have much this year to be honest.
In other news, I applied to that “brand ambassador” thing some content creators have been getting in on, but I don’t think my < 1000 sub YouTube channel impressed BioWare 😅

Assume now that I am perfectly calm and am asking the question out of genuine interest at figuring out how this joke works here, or what you mean. Can you answer the question? For years and years in video games they had one hero, most often a male. In a game like the witcher it has one hero, a man. That is totally what I took from the comment.
But of course you can't say shi* these days without people leaping to massive conclusions and getting all bent out of shape about it.

Yep... been there done that...
My view is that these, oh so easily bent shapes, are insecure of their position or a posted viewpoint is somehow a personal hit to their person, get emotional and lash out. Others see a contrarian post as heresy because they know the Lore forward and backward and therefore cannot be. These often forget that Bio is in the business of selling games to ther greater unwashed and does not exist to ensure that Lore is sacrosant and not to be messed with. Bio has retcconned and will continue to do so as it sees fit.
I've learned to just ride the flow and go on to something else. And, hey, some enjoy that drinking game whenever I mention Bio may use UE5 for DA4 and so order two drinks intead of one.
