Dragon Age News Thread

"I played this game on Normal, Hard and Nightmare, I know how to jump!" <-- Me everytime I start a new PT

I don't know how relevant this is, but I asked one of the Mass Effect devs who Mary Kirby was writing and they responded.

Michael Gamble ‏
@gamblemike@caravaggio4lyfe @biomarykirby of course! But Mary is working on another project...not mass effect

Now, this might initially seem unrelated to Dragon Age, but she's mainly a Dragon Age writer. Of course, this could also mean she's writing for secret IP. 

Oh, thanks! I'll take it there, then.

I'm in a hilarious argument with @candledking and he's shouting at me over solas being awful...it's intense
he's getting so worked up omg
blessed are the peace keepers... the lights in the shadow...

Patrick Weekes@PatrickWeekes
These are both valid viewpoints we will try to respect.

Seekrit IP confirmed to be a rhythm game?

... Or Solas will be using one in order to enchant elves and lead them to wilderness, like Pied Piper Of Hamelin.

I don't have any words, but in a good way.

Yup - here!

... part of a longer conversation.

@sarahkfetter I feel like Atreyu and you're Artax and that bungalow is the swamp. I do not like this simile.

Sarah @ Vegas ‏@sarahkfetter
I feel like I've seen this movie yet don't recall anything but the furry dog thing

Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw
I'm not going to sugar coat it: it does not end well for Artax.

Patrick Weekes ‏@patrickweekes
I mean technically it's a metaphor because "like" applied to how you felt and not them being like it, but yes.

Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw
Huh. You're right.

Also, you're super fun at parties.

Patrick Weekes ‏@patrickweekes
Look, I assume this is why you made me lead writer: correct differentiation of simile and metaphor.

Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw
Yup! And that shit about adjectives that end in "ly" not being hyphenated for compound purposes.

Patrick Weekes ‏@patrickweekes
That one is just dumb. I mean, I do it, because rules and all, but still.
WRITING, everyone.

Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw
But mostly, you're lead writer because the DA fans seem to like emotional torment and you're you.

Patrick Weekes ‏@patrickweekes
I figured it was either that or Codex entries.

Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw
Nah. If it was going to be anything, it would be your deft and joyful work on journals.

Patrick Weekes ‏@patrickweekes
So anyone capable of saying, "Make @bengelinas do it!" gets to be lead writer?

Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw
Close, but it's more you have to convince me Ben doing it is part of a masterful plan.

Patrick Weekes ‏@patrickweekes
So Ben is like the blade that cuts through the Gordion knot of me having to do it.

Patrick Weekes ‏@patrickweekes
Ben & the blade are simile, Gordion knot is metaphor, btw.

Ben Gelinas ‏@bengelinas
Follow the Lead
Ben's flabby frame transformed into a blade through the magic of simile.
Cut the Gordion knot

Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw
Second requirement is "ready to have the internet yell at you" but you stayed on twitter in 2012.

Story of my life...

Cassandra would want a really big wedding. (And if she's the Divine, she can't get married at all.)

Josephine would want her family present.

Iron Bull doesn't care about getting married.

Dorian is heading back to Tevinter.

Blackwall is either dedicated to the Grey Wardens or doing his whole redemption quest.

Solas is ... well, you know.
