Dragon Age News Thread

I'm on Solas side when it comes to tea. As for any reference to murican politics I'm clueless and yea, Steve who?

I picture Wagon Rage as having no actual dragons, since wagons have supplanted them in the title. Instead, it’s like that Thomas the Tank Engine Skyrim mod, except with wagons instead of trains.

Varric, with his canonical krogan bodyguards.

How does one acquire bronze Varric? Asking for a friend... who wants to get it for my birthday.

Jeff Ryan@ erimathas
They're given out as 5 year service awards at BioWare. So far as I know there are no plans to make them available to the general public sadly

I can't be the only one who has a brainwave late in the presentation-making process that requires a complete restructure but feels super worth it, right?

Al Went to Cantina @abrown35
All the time. At least you don't have to have your stuff approved by layers of bureaucracy anymore right? So that is a plus😉

My approval process was rather easy, because I sat beside @biomarkdarrah and he did the approval.

The photoshopped image in the tweet was parodying Steven Crowder, of “Louder with Crowder” fame, who has made YouTube videos where he sets up tables in public spaces that say “ I’m_______, change my mind. “ (prolife, pro-guns, etc.) to invite those around to sit and debate him about issues. And, IMO, he usually wins those debates with his arguments. Which was what I meant by the parody choice being funny b/c Solas probably isn’t meant to be implied to be correct by the person who tweeted that. The Alistair one Faceman posted makes much more sense, imo.

Edit: @correctamundo , @OhDaniGirl cus I saw more ppl asking as I read. Also, editing cus autocorrect is causing me typos. >_>

Edit 2: Wagon Rage accurately describes every kid whose Oregon Trail party died of dysentary or froze to death cus they didn't make Donner Pass early enough. So, everyone who played OT at some point, basically. lol Man I have such nostalgia for that game. That's a game that should get an HD remake.

My peak Wagon Rage moment was in OT4(?) I think. I actually arrived ahead of schedule, and had tons of supplies and money because I’d primarily gathered* instead of buying food. My party was in great shape too — I cannot stress this enough, no one was sick or upset when we arrived.

But by some kind of game balancing tomfoolery, they were deemed insane (was it the huge pile of twigs and berries in the trunk?) and committed to an institution. I was sooooo salty that my careful planning and budgeting got transmuted into a loss at the last second.

*Gathering was a mechanic unique to that version which meant you could get fresh produce without going to a general store. You had to plan ahead and get party members who could ID poisonous stuff (usually those party members would have less starting money). Also you had to avoid this one really rich guy who always throws tantrums for meat and pickles. Unlike hunting, gathering didn’t deplete bullets or any other store-bought items, only time. Because I was a min-maxer and had a high threshold for boredom, I gathered contantly.

pipes?

OT4 was the fmv version right? I remember the gathering mechanic that showed pics of real plants and you had to Identify them. That basket was my favorite screen. (Cus I was a dork. lol ) That was prolly my fave OT (when it worked, cus I seem to remember being unable to leave town a few times bc of some bug). Also loved Amazon Trail for similar reasons.

I think the Solasmancers are gonna need a poultice for that burn.

I am so mad at you

Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes
You know I’m not actually the saint being referenced here, right?

Arden💀✨GDC Edition @sproutella
I would never mistake you for a saint after what you've done

Dumped Drunk and Dalish@DrunkDalish
There once was a writer named Weekes
Whose elven god caused a few shrieks
Said he, I suspect
You're all feeling quite wrecked
Yet it's Solas deserves your critiques

Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes
It was a team effort.

I only just saw this and now I feel bad for not recognizing your valiant effort. So a belated thank you is in order!
