girltriesgames @girltriesgames I wish #DragonAge 4 could magically come out early while I have so much time on my hands...
Erelan Ghilain @erelanghilain Can we just take into consideration that this might speed up the process or @bioware might just give in and give us a teaser. Though I find it more likely that @biomarkdarrah will do it anyways with how bored he will get being at home...he'll do it just to get a reaction from us

Imperator Furiåsa @devilkitten I just figured out what the text about Solas I’ve been noodling on will be named: A Villain of Utmost Refinement and Grace: Making the Case Why Solas is Among the Best Game Villains Yet
Based primarily on the Trespasser DLC and the very end of Inquisition.
So, okay, I know I work at BioWare and all, but I’m still playing the games the studio made 10 years ago and I can’t stop analyzing just because I work there. Sorry not sorry.
Fernando Melo DiscoBabaloo For anyone, who may or may not have worked on this, yet is still not sure how to feel about it: will this provide a definitive answer on whether we should kiss him or kill him?! Inquiring minds want to know... for their friends.
Justin Masse justinmasse Today's my 4 year anniversary at BioWare, time fly's! I could not have have joined a more amazing team, absolutely love the passion each of them bring daily. Would not want to be anywhere else, here's to another 4 years 🎉
Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah Other things from my house: Gargantuan Red Deagon BAFTA nom from DAI (so arrogant) The best thing ever. A picture from the handheld group when I moved from there to another role.
Resoluter Wichtel 🎲 ✨ @daiyame While your at maps and names, I'm still confused about Kassel, as it's close to my hometown (in Germany). 🤔 Wild letter arrangement, intention or another coincidence?
Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah Are you ABSOLUTELY sure you are in Germany and not Thedas?
Δ @_badsado Can we get some news about how the game is going? What stage production it is? All these years of teasing is almost criminal. 😭
Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah Working away... We have shifted to work from home Wrapping up a milestone right now and starting planning on the next.
Joseph La Russa @joseph_La_Russa How has working from home impacted you and the team? Have you noticed any major differences, either in productivity (positive or negative) or any other tangible measurement?
Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah Hard to be sure. I would say we are slower overall. Depends on your home situation and the specific work you do.
Mark Darrah Retweeted GamersCodex @baronsitzkrieg Check out this amazing idea from some of the people in the #Bioware #Dragonage #community ! Consider adding to the project we would love to have as many people as possible 😊❤️ Also all @'s in the pictures are from Instagram so go on there to find them 😁 discordapp.com/invite/WNap8E
Karin Weekes @karinweekes Oh , HELL yeah, I am SO IN.
Xbox @xbox Your adventure continues in the cloud. Thanks to @ea, we're adding three new games to Project xCloud (Preview)! Take Dragon Age: Inquisition, Unravel 2, and The Sims 4 with you #InsideXbox
LINDYYYY @lindy9589 Wondering if @biomarkdarrah would at least say who’s returning in DA4. 🤔
Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah Well... I am 🤪
Andrew @destroyerzodiac Are @patrickweekes and @eplerjc ?
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes I believe we are allowed to be on the record as working on an unannounced game in the Dragon Age universe, yes.
Cain Alexander (NecroAlx) @necroalx btw I'm just curious about this, but how do you guys, or any developer for that, handles the developing of games during the current world situation? I know somethings can be done from home but I'll really like to know.
Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah We are all working... definitely harder to do some things.

Each year, we are amazed by the incredible pieces of BioWare-inspired artwork from artists in our community. In the spirit of sharing beautiful artwork with the world right now, here are a few pieces that were created last summer on the show floor of 2019 San Diego Comic-Con. BioWare was excited to participate in the fun at the Dark Horse booth and, with San Diego Comic-Con being a creative hub, we were especially excited to feature five amazing artists who created original works based on characters in Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Anthem. As the artists created, booth visitors could watch the works in progress and chat with the artists in person. It was fascinating and educational to get the artists’ thoughts and perspectives as they brought characters and stories to life throughout the weekend.
Thanks to the incredible talent of the artists and on behalf of this artwork, a $10,000 donation was made to the Canadian Red Cross’ Australia Wildfire Relief Fund in early February, 2020! These unique and beautiful pieces are now a wonderful addition to BioWare Edmonton’s new downtown office space.
🌼 Autumn Witch ⚢ @dragon_Age_Fans So, maybe you can tell us what "Mas enasalin lasa revas evanura" means?
*hey, it was worth a shot!*
Karin Weekes @karinweekes It’s along the lines of “your victory is our freedom, leader”, but that can be parsed into whatever inspiring English expression you like.
ladyiolanthe ladyiolanthe Do you think BioWare might ever be able to release Qunari, Dwarvish, and Elvhen lexicons in a World of Thedas Volume 3 sort of book? Or is that unlikely since they're ciphers and maybe there isn't a standardized grammatical structure, etc?
Karin Weekes @karinweekes That’s an interesting idea - I, for one, would find it a hoot! I might send out some feelers...

USG @usgamernet Final Fantasy 7 Remake's Voice Cast Got Their Scripts As They Were Recording dlvr.it/RTxjdy
Mary Kirby @biomarykirby Babe, the number of times some poor editor and I have had to stay late to finish writing something because it was getting recorded at 4 AM in London tomorrow...
Other shocking headlines you could have written: Voice Cast Got A Spreadsheet of Inexplicable Shouts to Record Voice Cast Got a Script Consisting Only of Random One-Liners Voice Cast Had to Re-record the Same Scene Twelve Times Because a Single Number Changed in Dialogue. Voice Cast Spent Two Recording Sessions Just Screaming Inarticulately Into Microphone
The point of this thread being: Voice actors are goddamned amazing professionals, and they deserve all the love because they can spin gold out of spreadsheets full of "Disgusted noise."
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes Why are you giving away the secrets of our process, Mary.
Mary Kirby @biomarykirby So I should leave out, "Voice Cast Got Scenes Wildly Out of Order Because Prologue Didn't Get Approved Forever"?
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes I’m not sure if I’ve ever NOT had a romanceable follower get the “and now we have sex” scene in their very first recording session. Because it’s not in a mission, so we didn’t have to worry about level/flow changes?
Mary Kirby @biomarykirby Oh yeah. The "end of the arc" somehow always ends up being the first session. Because it's the longest scene that's approved already and isn't going to change. I can't imagine how weird that is.
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes It would be like Patrick Stewart coming in on his first day for Star Trek and being handed the Four Lights scene.
John Epler @eplerjc
Eric Stirpe @stirpicus Fan of thing I worked on: "Ooooh, what was the meaning behind THIS line? Was it [insert deep theory here]??" Me, having written that line in a 2am haze cramming for a deadline: "Uhhhh, sure."
Crystal McCord @mrscmccord OR the actor asks the director the same question and the answer is “um... sure! Yea let’s go with that!”
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes I still love every actor who understood “the sound you make when you shrug that is like saying, ‘I dunno’ without actually using words.”
David Gaider @davidgaider I still remember when we gave Merrill's script to Eve Myles, with her halting manner of speech and the way Merrill interrupted herself constantly mid-line, and I was all "maaan this is going to be a long day of re-takes"
But, nope, she got it perfectly, first take every time.
Mary Kirby @biomarykirby There is probably no feeling better than when an actor "gets" your character.
David Gaider @davidgaider Right? I can think of so many examples of when the voice actor was the final element that finally brought a character to life. It wasn't even what I'd imagined, but suddenly everything just *clicked* and, from that moment on, THAT was the character.
Jo Berry @joanna_Berry And it makes it so much easier to write that character's lines from then on, too. Feels so much more like listening than trying to think stuff up.
