Dragon Age News Thread

I really doubt Hepler will work on a Bioware game ever again, after the death threats against her and her children and all (from so-called "fans" over DA2 and ME3). She's been on a couple of interviews now, talking about making games that help people in rl, rather than provide a power-fantasy.

The "funny" (actually very, very sad) part is this stupid cycle:

- Group dislike something about the story of a game. The complains about it turn into a hate-mongering crusade against the writer;
- Writer dislike this crusade. Group says that if writer wants to be a writer, needs a thicker skin or get the fuck out of here;
- Writer gets the fuck out of here;
- Group complains about lack of good writing, that best writes left;
- Also, sees people jumping ship from the company they made the hate-mongering crusade. Concludes the company has a toxic ambient.

That said, I think Patrick Weekes is great and probably the best fit for the series. There is also a lot of great writers still there that were responsible for some of the best parts of Dragon Age, like Sheryl Chee and Mary Kirby.
