I wonder why the VO can't open their mouth in this situation. Is their character gagged,perhaps? Saarebas?

David Gaider @davidgaiderSomething I’ll never get: DA fans who still bring up “egg” every time Solas is mentioned, or vice-versa. Because Solas is bald, you see. This is, evidently, the height of hilarity. [HASH]DAT While I never found that meme amusing Gaider just sounds like a bitter old man here. I mean why complain about something as meaningless as that? Guess he must be bored out of his mind. I prefer genuine "grumpy honest" to phony "marketing-happy-speak"

True, it may be quirk of a character. It's also a probable indicator that there will be more scenes with pretty elaborate animations.

Not that I'm terribly bothered by Gaider's tweet, he can say whatever he wants, it just doesn't add anything positive to anyone's life to read a tweet like that. But I guess he just needed to vent, which is fair enough.

Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes
Sometimes content voice actors have to perform means spending far too long staring at the screen trying to figure out how to write the subtitle for "Sound of someone trying to say 'I dunno' without opening their mouth." Also, fun fact, I apparently cannot make the "mouth-closed-I-dunno" noise without shrugging my left shoulder. I did the sound as I was reading the tweet, before I got to the "fun fact" sentence, and I shrugged my left shoulder to do it. Little weirded out now.

So much of communication is nonverbal, it's not surprising that your instinct is to shrug when saying, "I don't know."
I can do it without shrugging my shoulder.

I prefer genuine "grumpy honest" to phony "marketing-happy-speak" I still wonder why someone who has moved on to other projects is talking so much about dragon age. I think he's gone back to Bioware to take Mike's job.

I think he's gone back to Bioware to take Mike's job. I'm not sure I understand this? He may not be actively working on the project, but it's still his baby in large part and he dedicated a significant portion of his life working on it... Nevermind that he's still friends or living around people who are currently working on next DA.

That's been my opinion all along and I've mentioned it here several times. They said to me on Twitter that Mike's job (creative director) has been taken but has not been announced. Months and months. David left beamdog, Mike left Bioware..... I mean, makes sense to me.

David left beamdog, Mike left Bioware..... I mean, makes sense to me. Well of course... he was working at Beamdog at the time and was probably very busy. Now he's not so - presumably - he has more time. And I find it very unlikely that Gaider is a creative director. His Twitter profile says 'formerly of Bioware' and he keeps denying working in BW as recently as a few hours ago. At best I think they could make him a guest writer, like Kennedy or Karpyshyn for Anthem, but even that is a far-fetched speculation, especially given his denials. Both Kennedy and Karpyshyn were fairly open about their work. Anyway - Matt Goldman on his LinkedIn (since Oct '17 to present) and Daniel Kading on his Twitter have 'creative directors' in their descriptions. It's fairly certain they're on DA team.

Also, the very likely reason why he was talking about Solas at all recently: So nope... it was not out of nowhere, but it has a very simple explanation.

I think Gaider is getting irritated that all his followers are mostly DA fans not Gaider fans. Not enough people are loving him for him. My take on it. Why lash out when you could just ignore unless it's actually bothering you.

(I've used no logic but I'm sticking by it lol) He just came back from working for a couple of months in Melbourne, Australia, and is back in Canada "for a while". There are no BioWare studios in Melbourne, Australia. I honestly think he's gone indie or freelance writer/narrative design consultant.

Why lash out when you could just ignore unless it's actually bothering you. How many people working in the video game industry even have their own fans? People who like their work might follow them in hopes of some inside info or game news. Me personally I don't care about what former Bioware employees tweet about. Their gym routine really is of no interest to me. I'm just here still waiting for that DA4 announcement.

How many people working in the video game industry even have their own fans? I’m fairly certain that PC gamers were required to keep a candlelit shrine to Gabe Newell at one point. They might have relaxed that requirement since Valve stopped making actual games. (Nobody quote me with a whiny “But what about Artifaaaaaaact?” You know what I meant.)

Just like all the other times this forum went on a bender trying to prove that Gaider was secretly bitter about one thing or another. He can’t possibly be a normal-ass person who tweets mildly funny stuff and then forgets about it immediately. It’s all part of some grand, dramatic character arc. Seriously though, I agree. Can we focus on dissecting the games/announcements, which have a narrative to dissect, rather than real people, who don’t? Any narrative that gets ascribed to real game developers is usually a hallucination.

Shucks I loved Valve games....they were just wonderfully medium you know? They didn't push the boundaries too far with graphics so they'd always work on my average laptops, and the concepts were great. *sigh* All my favourites suck now, or they just stopped making stuff.
