Pat @miracl3work3rTodays new term "Speculative Code Execution" FYI it was awesome until it wasnt and now its very bad. Like this? It’s more like this Except instead of discovering your grand plan to conquer Thedas, they see your passwords instead. --- Speculative code execution = “the computer works ahead a little bit to get a performance boost.” It’s fast when the computer correctly predicted what it needed to do next, and if it doesn’t it just discards the incorrect “future” and tries again. Modern machines are good at that prediction, so they guess correctly more often than not - so redoing failed predictions doesn’t hurt performance often enough to outweigh the performance boost. Sadly data can apparently leak out of that speculative future.

I will never be able to find it within myself to feel sorry for straight, white men and how they feel slighted. I notice you said “white” but black men also play DA and I have seen one or two who groused that the Josie romance was a little tame. I rather romance Vivienne anyways. And Josie's cute and all but the romance boring and dull. 😪😪

David Gaider @davidgaider In my time at BioWare, we switched over to recording full VO, and it took a while to learn an important lesson:
Let the actor act.
You don't need a line to say "I'm sad" - the actor can say it sadly. There's a world of subtext an actor can bring to a line, if you'll let them.
It's a hard lesson for a writer to learn, as our instinct is to put everything in the text. A moment's hesitation, however, or an emphasis on a particular word, or an emotion that runs contrary to what's being spoken - these can say so much more than you'll ever write.
There was an entire scene between Flemeth and Morrigan in DAI where I had to resist the urge to put everything in the lines. Instead I used comments like "this is what you REALLY mean" and let the actors put that in their performance... and they did. It was wonderful.
Part of that is because Kate Mulgrew and @theclaudiablack are amazing, true, but you also have to trust them to do half the work and not try to do it all yourself. I wish I'd known that back when I was on DAO, to be honest.

I hope it's not an Anthem reference. I'm more interested with DA4 too, but Anthem having fanfic and fanart-worthy characters wouldn't be bad news She's not working for BW anymore, she's with EA Motive now (though I wouldn't be surprised if EA Motive is 'BW Montreal' in disguise and will continue working with BW)

She's not working for BW anymore, she's with EA Motive now (though I wouldn't be surprised if EA Motive ain't 'BW Montreal' in disguise and will continue working with BW) It's more the idea that she's retweeting Tevinter stuff. Maybe she just likes it (fair enough, so do I) but it's nice to think DA is on her brain, regardless of where she's working.

I wish I'd known that back when I was on DAO, to be honest. Ben Rolfe @ecoludologistThis really stood out in DA:I! The pacing was also relatively great, with less stilted gaps between lines than many games, but one area I hope to see games improve is overlapping voice lines during heated conversation/interruptions. David Gaider @davidgaiderYou just named the one bugaboo we struggled with constantly. Overlapping lines, interruptions... that's the dream. - I'm sure they'll solve it... someday.

Dorian's VA, Ramon Tikaram, is amazing as well; he's able to put in so much emotion. Have to also give props to the cinematic folks as well, as half of it are facial expressions.

Dan Perry @danim8tionLet’s relieve some pressure for newer game devs and inspiring game devs. Post about some mistake or otherwise you game devs have made in the industry. Here’s my big ones: [continued...] blair k brown @blairbroonI locked 370 devs out of the build and tried to delete the entire game 3 months from Cert. I believe this was the catalyst that turned Inquisition into GOTY. I still remember this! (tbf, the BioGang never lets him forget... )[HASH]DAT

Little more than halfway through... the more I listen the more I'm inclined to believe that there will be more revenue stream mechanisms built into the next Dragon Age. Whether it's going to be another Anthem or not... I don't know. Probably not, they'll probably wait to see how what they've built for that works out and instead re-use Inquisition building blocks. Mike's opinion is kinda blatantly that the current game prices vs. development costs for AAA aren't working out and companies are looking for ways to fix that.

Other than this, is there anything else that leads you to believe that? I really don't have the patience to sit and listen to interviews like this when I can't skim to parts that will be relevant to me. [edit] I'm not usually one for excessive EA hate, but if they do go down this route for DA4, we'll know exactly who to blame for it. Not exactly pleased.
