What is your favourite level in a #BioWare game and why? I am doing important research and I need your help! #Anthem #MassEffect #DragonAge #SWTOR #SWKOTOR #EnvironmentArt #GameDevelopment

I am a little late to the party, but since we only release games every 2-4 years here is some art I did on #AnthemGame, released this year. #artvsartist #BioWare #Anthem

"At one point, a producer came in to the writring room and said, 'we need 12 cutscenes with sex - who wants to write them?' Nobody wanted to do it."

"For us, the point is, a sex scene should not be just be about showing some bodies. ...we always try to infuse the scene with additional reasons - to add some humour, or tell us more about the characters."

100% agree ^ Love scenes are character scenes.

Fun fact: the... logistics? of Cora's sex scene were intended to be emblematic of her and Ryder's relationship. They have the backdrop of the window and stars (because they're explorers); Cora's seated at a height so she's at eye level with Ryder (because they're equals) and because of their position they have to hold onto and trust one another ('cause they're not just a couple, they're a team).

For the non-sexual scene: Cora spends the entire game telling Ryder "I've got your back." At the end of that scene, he's literally guarding hers 🙂

The point being: if you know who your characters are, including who they are behind closed doors--and especially who they are to each other--a love scene's a great opportunity to show all of that without needing words. 😘

We've gotten some questions about the "Indomitable" challenge in Season of Skulls.
YES, you will have another chance to complete it. I can't share the exact dates yet, but it will be toward the end of this season.
The nightmares will return. 💀

This is my last week with BioWare. I've been with the company for 14 years and am grateful for everything I've been part of here. SW:TOR, Anthem, the Austin studio, and BioWare are in good hands; you can expect great things ahead.

I join as a fan now, and look forward to playing BioWare games for years to come. I'm very excited about the next step of my journey in the game industry and look forward to sharing that soon.

We’ve appreciated Chad’s leadership at BioWare Austin and he‘s built a strong leadership team there that will take SW:TOR and Anthem into the future. All the best Chad!

When darkness finds you and all light goes from the world, waiting for a hero—hoping for someone to save you—isn't always enough. Sometimes, you have to save yourself.

Read "Lighter," a story of a man alone in the dark with nothing but a flicker of hope.
