Geoff Keighley @geoffkeighley Don't miss a special look at the next DRAGON AGE from @bioware during #TheGameAwards next Thursday.
“These stories, written by the narrative team, help paint the picture for the future of Dragon Age,” the studio says in a press release, “including some insight into the next reveal at The Game Awards.” The annual awards (and trailers) show is scheduled to air on December 10 at 16:00 PST / 19:00 EST, or midnight GMT.

Who's your favorite Dragon Age villain and why? Probably one of the ones I’m working on now. SO EVIL! (sigh)
Is there anything we haven't asked that you always wished someone would ask about working on Dragon Age? Good question! Probably “what little-seen people or places in the Dragon Age universe would you like to explore?” Which is a tease, because that’s exactly what I’m doing now at work. One day!

Dumped, Dalish and #DragonAgeDay (She/Her) @drunkdalish We are so privileged to get BioWare team input and answers to our silliest (and unsilliest!) questions for #DragonAgeDay! Don't miss answers from UX-designer at BioWare, Åsa Roos, here in this link!
Karin Weekes @karinweekes My editorial contribution to #DADay2020 (this is why I do words, not art)Grinning face with smiling eyes
(If you're the type of excellent person who supports both the Oxford comma AND a wonderful cause through the "Editor's Essentials" reward, I'll dedicate a printed copy to you!
Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah Our default stance is to try not to reuse quantum characters. That is characters who can be in a lot of different states after a previous game (especially if they might be dead)
We did it with Liliana but I think that had something to do with @mike_Laidlaw's stance on redheads.
Unofficial Dragon Age Day @unofficialdaday THANK YOU EVERYONE for making this a #DragonAgeDay to remember!! There are still many rewards left and more to come! tiltify.com/+dragon-age-day-2020/dragon-age-day-2020
Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah Who should you be following to be respectfully trolled about Dragon Age? @eplerjc and @patrickweekes
Of course @christiandailey has some ground to make up (and he's very nice about it) @norseartemis if you need a Solasmancer with the math to back her up...
Gabe Heiland @norseartemis LOOK, listen, just because I have reinvented math so that 1+1= Solas there is no bias!
Christian Dailey @christiandailey Awesome first Dragon Age Day, friends! Thank you for all the support. Looking forward to many more. Have a great and safe weekend all.

*Leliana. I had it right in the 1st place... sigh
John Epler @eplerjc This is, tragically, why Ser Barris will never return, despite being the handsomest man in Thedas.
Trust me, I'm as disappointed as anyone.
I can't even remember the context - it might've been one of the DLCs - but I wanted to bring him back.
Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes I thought we weren’t bringing him back because it turned out that Ser Barris was working for the Illusive Man to control the Reapers?
Bear in mind I kinda skimmed some of the codex entries.
John Epler @eplerjc Lore continuity is for cowards.

I see John Epler did a talk on Dec 3 at the Games Gathering 2020 conference called "Playing A Story – Collaborative Narrative". Lecture blurb: "Writing stories in games is different from film or other non-interactive media. This talk will go through some of the pitfalls and opportunities that narrative in games offers." Wonder if there's a vid of it anywhere

Figured I post this here. Andy McNamara is EA's Director of Comms and Strategies:
Andy McNamara @therealandymc Reading a lot of doom and gloom comments about the changes happening at BioWare, and that EA is doing this or that... Do you really think games with the pedigree of Dragon Age or Mass Effect with their legions of fans are going away? Come on.
Game development is a journey for massive teams of talented people, & I have met and worked with people all across BioWare & EA these last few months who are passionate about the games & making them great. It is sad to lose team members but don’t assume the studios are done for
____ Also, heres a tweet made by one one of Dragon Age's developers in response to comments made by Greg Ellis (over a potential ousting of Mark Darrah). It was dated on Dec 5th btw:
Allan Schumacher allanschumacher If Mark was ousted why was he in a zoom meeting with us at work today?

Imperator Furiåsa @devilkitten Today's learning: If you put emphasis on a word in Twitter, you may inadvertently cause 100x the hype you intended especially when dealing with darling devoted fans.

Jonathan Warner @bio_Warner Tomorrow I think we’re going to actually find out the age of The Dragon!... did I get that right @christiandailey and @biomarkdarrah ?
Andy McNamara @therealandymc Since this is my first #TheGameAwards from the comms side, I want to share with you all that I had no idea getting to today took so much effort and planning to make happen across so many teams. It was crazy to experience. I’m dying to see everyone’s reactions now more than ever.
