Is it just me or does concept art female Phyre look a lot like male Ventrue PC in Bloodlines 1?

It's going to be a sci fi gem. Travel between two galaxies completely trivialized, in fact, the distance between them as a whole seems to have shrunk to somewhere close to insignificant.
"A distress signal from Andromeda"? I don't even want to know how that managed to reach the Milky Way. Maybe they are peeking through the Geth's space magic telescope again and someone on a planet in Andromeda is making SOS flag signals?
Can't wait.

Peter Parker is a beloved, popular/legacy character so naturally he must be humiliated before retirement so a relatively substandard replacement takes over. Off the top of my head, this process has happened with Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones, the Mandalorian, Blade, the Punisher, Joel and Ellie, James Bond, etc. Peter Parker is just the most recent casualty of this creative hatred. It's quite depressing how often present day "creators" go the route of "if I can't make it as good as the other thing I'll just drag that other thing down to my level".

Liara's (or most asari's) head crest most likely wouldn't fit into a human helmet. I think crest of this helmet is big enough, this isn't a small helmet.
But I'd rule out Liara due to my previously mentioned post.
It's a rather small and very round helmet, including its rear side where Liara's backward pointing crest would be. Unless asari head crests are inflatable there's no way any of them could wear that. But yeah, the entire body shape is not very Liara... looks a bit too tall and slender.

Heh.
Especially DAI could have generated unlimited side content of the "Conscientious Objector" variety that way. Have ChatGPT write the letters or diary entries and let some AI pick the mobs that spawn near the second letter. Boom, instant "quest".

According to the leaks we won't be controlling our companions directly anymore so there probably won't be any healer class since there's no way that we could rely on BioWare's super-wonky companion AI for well timed, effective healing. Companions will probably just follow us around and act as a minor distraction and damage over time source.
And as far as that skill tree is concerned I expect most of the nodes to be passives that modify a handful of active skills. Controllers have four buttons and the leak had a display of five active skill icons (one looked special and required pressing two buttons simultaneously or some such) so the gameplay will probably be even more simplified than DAI was.
This is not necessarily bad if the combat itself is good. Darktide for example has two active skills and a passive aura and you can spend up to 30 points in a character's skill tree but the combat is fantastic and your skill choices can change a class a lot. It can be done with some skilled game design.

"Phyre" is an interesting choice for a name - Armenian, unisex, meaning "Burning bright".
Overall I'm still cautiously curious. It doesn't look like the vampire game I wanted, but it could still turn out okay. Does any vampire try to blend into human society in Seattle? Have they heard of hunters and the Inquisition?

I think it's way too late for DA4 to change from the "drop kicks in full plate" action comedy seen in the leaks to anything remotely resembling BG3. That would essentially be another complete reboot which I doubt BioWare could accomplish or survive in its current state.
Also I'm not sure if the cause of BG3's success is that it's an isometric party based RPG - it's more the quantity and quality of content that players get for their money. All we can hope for is that Mr. Darrah gets DA4 polished into a presentable state so it can be released with some confidence instead of constantly running and hiding from the competition.

The most expensive game currently in the making is GTA VI with a 2 billion USD budget vs Star Citizen's and Squadron 42's shared ~600 million. Not sure if other juggernauts like that are around.
Squadron 42 and MEA are ultimately very different products. They share the science fiction theme but that's about it - almost everything else is different, from the style of story and writing to what you actually do in the game. MEA is what it is, no matter whether Squadron 42 exists or not.

Seeing how this project has been going so far they probably accidentally laid off a VFX artist and then realized they still needed one after the fact. But hey, maybe they can get one for a lower salary now.

I don't think anyone needs to worry that DAD will be anything like BG3 or any other isometric party based RPG. BioWare has moved away from that gameplay type with every iteration. We'll most likely get a 3rd person action game with some RPG lite elements and barely controllable companions tagging along - some kind of melee / magic focused fantasy Mass Effect, if you will. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it just will be so different from BG3 that a comparison between the two wouldn't make much sense - they'd essentially be different genres.

All that quoted headline says is that "unionized DAD QA workers have been laid off". No word about devs, no word that BioWare did it. It's not misleading. That person needs to calm down and acquire some basic reading comprehension skills. Harassment is of course never acceptable. Kicking out employees like BioWare did seems to be less of a problem to that person though. Is this about a city in Scandinavia? Are you an alien? You don't sound human at all.
Please point out where I am incorrect? Just insults doesn't help.

Mark Darrah would potentially fit too. I remember when Casey came back to BioWare and took over GM from Aaron Flynn people were really excited. And I feel like he has always been on the "good" side of the ME fandom whereas Mac Walters took a lot of heat. Hard to say exactly who this person meant though. If it's Mark Darrah they're referencing, I will quit everything. He's been the voice of reason so many times, if he's revealed to be a secret evil, I'm not sure what I will do. Now that would be an epic blunder: Mark Darrah is the secret evil behind everything, now hired as an external contractor to complete his nefarious plans and 50 long time employees get fired so BioWare can actually afford his services. That would be too crazy... right?

Oh bloody hell (again).
Employment prospects are poor, they worry about paying their bills and getting their kids Christmas presents but if they ask for proper severance they really should feel guilty for endangering an already messed up project?
What a way to stab people who crunched several times through previous management failures in the back. Way to go, you motherless bastards.

Well at least CDPR got better again and took their sweet time with Cyberpunk 2.0 and Phantom Liberty. Pretty good stuff as far as game industry related redemption stories go.
BioWare on the other hand seems to have gone from "we pull teams from other projects to crunch for 18 months" to "we call in external help, fire 50 people with a pittance for severance, then pull in teams from other projects and crunch for 18 months".
BioWare was fed from the cake baked by EA Sports and now they aren't sitting at that table anymore.

Whenever I hear "delayed for polishing" I remember a friend who worked at Ubisoft's QA for AC:Comet and the first Watchdogs. The latter was delayed for six months or so for "polishing". According to my friend it was extremely unstable at that point and constantly crashed all over the place. And that was just six months, DA4 is probably delayed for about 18 months, so I expect its state to be accordingly worse.

Oh good, another dispatch from the eastern front.EDIT: It’s more a commentary about how all the news these days about BioWare is grim, colfoley. And the link is working now. Surprisingly accurate. According to my grand dad and grand uncles the work atmosphere was tense, the end result was poor despite a lot of effort and then they went home without a severance package too... all because of top management issues. In their case there was no one left to sue though.

Jesus Fucking Christ. Average of 14 years. An average. And made redundant without cause and - apparently - without meeting even set precedent for severance. I literally have nothing other than swear words and head shakes. What an absolute cluster fuck. There actually is a single word that popped into my head reading all that. "Boycott".

David Gaider @davidgaiderI can't believe I live in a world where BioWare didn't treat the people it let go with every possible courtesy, ones who contributed so much to its past successes... but here we are, I guess. 😔 On the one hand for sure it sounds like a raw deal, on the other hand Dave Gaider would still be managing a hotel if he was never given the chance to be a writer with no real experience years ago by BioWare. Yes but Mr. Gaider was hired by original BioWare in the good old days. Not by the almost completely different company of the same name of today.

I think it's that time again. Time to wonder when we'll get news about the game. And also time to conclude we'll probably have news around December(The Game Awards and Dragon Age Day respectively). Sometimes you don't even remember you're waiting for something and at other times it's so difficult to stay patient. mood. And yeah still don't know if the TGAs are the best venue but I am impatient. Why do you think so? Too many games stuffed into one show?

I personally think he was just talking about DA4 moving toward its end, and it's jumbled up with the rest of what he was saying. He was actively getting sick in this livestream, and I've actually edited out a lot of the uh, um, uh, ums that he had. And the transcripts don't convey the long pauses where he was staring at the screen trying to figure out what he was reading, gather his thoughts, and then reply in a timely fashion. If you want to ask for clarification, his channel is there and he does read and reply to just about every comment there is. Probably more fruitful than speculating here. EDIT: Actually, I'll just do it myself. Saves time. He replied: "Definitely just that Dreadwolf is moving towards ship." So no, he wasn't talking about the end of the IP, just that Dreadwolf is trucking along. Thanks for asking him I retract everything I said but boy is his talk imprecise. Oh well, we shall know by the result in the end.
