The sheer, open disdain for filmmaking here, both as a craft and as a cultural product, is kind of breathtaking. Galling to have heard actors and writers called "greedy" for striking when the executives who forced them to strike would rather write movies off than make them.

Extremely upset for y’all.

Patrick Weekes @trickweekes.bsky.social
I wrote a not-bad junior-writer first draft of a follower arc, and a lot of small quests to populate an exploration area, and it's not the only big stuff I've written that got cut in its entirety by a long shot (heck, entire origins from Dragon Age: Origins), but I was there from the start.

Amy Evans @amypisces.bsky.social
... wait, there was entire origins that were cut from Dragon Age: Origins?

Patrick Weekes @trickweekes.bsky.social
Yep! There was a human commoner, which was kind of a village kid story -- Jay Turner wrote it, I think. And then there was the human barbarian (Avvar), which used some stuff from the Urn of Sacred Ashes plot. I wrote that.

John Ebenger @johnebenger.bsky.social
Wait…you were on Origins as well? How did I never know that? Urn was one of the levels I worked on for ship

Patrick Weekes @trickweekes.bsky.social
BRIEFLY. I was just additional design. Got moved to Jade 2 after a short time. Nothing I wrote made it in.

Me, ten seconds after any game ships

every so often I think about what it’s going to be like when Dreadwolf ships and then I have an existential crisis

BioWare knows who the quality mens are. Here's looking at you, Oggie.

Got a Steam friend who hasn't tried #MassEffect or #DragonAge? Now's the time. Be a good friend. Emotionally destroy them.

I mean, help them have fun! Definitely that...yeah... 😅

Mark Darrah has scheduled a co-stream of The Game Awards. I’m not good with time differences, so check the link for your local date/time.

My daughter's Christmas concert is on the 7th, so I am cancelling my Game Awards stream
