Articles and videos on BioWare and its IP's

Well without permission, it's stuff I can't talk about but it's part of the contract I signed. My work is owned by the website I write for. 

I am somewhat hesistant to post a link, since even good articles I read rarely deserve the appellation "classic", but here's a link about Mass Effect 3's ending I found very well-written and enlightening.

And here are some more. If I had to recommend three and not more articles about the topic, those are probably what I'd select:

[EDIT: Linked, thanks.]

This is about DA:O. It's not about a classic (if you mean old) article but it's a good read. www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-01-31-remembering-dragon-age-origins



[EDIT: Linked, thanks.]

WEll, since you asked:

Here is an article I did about sexuality and the characterization of Dorian from Inquisition. It is part of my Character Select series.

Another article I wrote was when we were asked to select the best game from Gen Seven for TechRaptor. I selected The Mass Effect Trilogy as a whole, and argue its importance as a video game franchise.

Finally, a second series on our website called Bullet Points looks at specific gameplay mechanics and how they are important/memorable/innovative. I did an article on that for the Mass Effect Dialogue Wheel.

I hope this is not considered self-promotion or anything like that, but it is what I was referring to in the previous thread about linking works I have done already on here. Each article is more or less a discussion about aspects or the series as a whole, so I would think they fit the criteria.

As to the articles themselves, let me know what you think, or if they even qualify. 

ETA:

As an added bonus, here is an article about word budgets and developing party members by David Gaider for Dragon Age: Inquisition. 



[EDIT: Those certainly qualify. Linked, thanks.]

I would definitely suggest John Stevenson's All That Matters is the Ending: Dragon Age Inquisition, and his follow-up Dragon Age Inquisition: the Ending isn't the Only Problem. I don't know exactly what you mean by "classic articles," so sorry if this isn't what you're looking for. He's got several other articles on his site, including some Mass Effect ones, but I haven't read them myself. I found the ones I have read insightful and well-reasoned, at least. 

It makes sense that those are the rules your bound by. I'm sure that quoting the first paragraph and then linking would be fine.

Could we separate links to the BW world... Like "Mod Articles" "Art" " Quests & Gameplay" "Lore and Story". It would help if we could separate them somehow. I have about 60 to share.

Hmm, I like it. This has potential.

So, if you draft something, where do you submit it for review/edit? PM a mod with it? Or...what?

If were allowed to enter video into the archive...

Two interesting takes on Mass Effect one that argues philosophical themes regarding the ending, the other a franchise retrospective.

I'll update the OP from time to time, if this idea gets traction.

I'm going to get the ball rolling by linking Andromenerds and the Mass Effect and Dragon Age trailers, plus posting Angry Joe's reviews and Honest Trailers.
