Greg Ellis@ellisgreg The video game company’s name contains the letter ‘r’. We’re edging ever closer to the reveal. Where is the video game company located? Is there a word or phrase you’d like me to say during a voice over recording session for this game and what would it be?

Eurogamer: Being the boss of Dragon AgeMike Laidlaw still remembers his first day at BioWare - and, 15 years later - his last. A lot happened in between.
Jo Berry @joanna_Berry
This is a great read: @mike_Laidlaw 's insights, anecdotes, and lessons learned from Jade Empire to Inquisition.
Mike Laidlaw @mike_LaidlawProbably the most from-the-heart and real interview I've given. I love love love that there's a sidebar finally pointing out the difference between me and @marc_laidlaw  Thanks @eurogamer.

From article: The upshot of this is Dragon Age Inquisition's development meandered, creating disillusionment. Staff worried content would be cut, and development did not feel as tight or as driven as it could have. "These are things you learn about managing a 50 plus person design team amid a 200 plus person overall gameplay team."
Hmmm... I wonder if this is how things are today. Is around 50 the current 'design team'? |

IIRC on Inquisition, we had designers of: Levels Tech Combat Progression Writing Editing Cinematics (I believe they're under Art now though?) (I'm probably forgetting one) And then within each of those teams they break down even further  |

Re the Eurogamer article.
Wanna know the big thing about me misting up when I think about the stories fans have told me?
I don't tell the ones that really punch me in the feels. Those aren't for sharing, but they're the ones that leap to mind, every time.
Never, ever think something you create won't reach someone else out there. It will. You may not know it...but it will. It might matter the most to that person.

You know, I sometimes forget some of the devs like to lurk here. They must be chuckling at all the speculations made out of vague tweets and what-not currently going on in here. Just watching the madness like a visitor at a zoo watching the chimps get riled up about a banana someone threw them.  |

One could also argue that they may be like an anxious caretaker stepping into the pen  I wonder if there ever was a time where a rumor was spread that caused panic but they felt they were incapable of saying anything to calm people down without revealing too much. Must feel pretty bad to see people worked up and anxious over something that's not even true. |

That's the problem, bunnies are so fearsome there's not a developer brave enough out there to go observe them in the wild and get the needed info. Dragons the BioWare team can handle but Bunnies? Much too scary! |

Huh... now that I think about it, I don't recall that there is any lyrium singing sound in the games. It just seems to be described by people, but never heard by the player (even, for example, in a cutscene from Bartrand's POV). |

It just seems to be described by people, but never heard by the player (even, for example, in a cutscene from Bartrand's POV). There's a quiet kind of high pitched humming from the big blue pillars in the hinterlands, on the way to the mage HQ cave. Those same blue pillars are in the astrarium treasure cave in the storm coast, so I think they're supposed to be lyrium, not just magic ice? Not 100% on it, but yeah. i heard a sound effect to them. Might be considered "singing"? |
