So... does anyone have a twitter account where they can tweet BioWare and try to get a response about Projects and the DAO Toolset and Wiki? Really nice that they drop this announcement on a Friday and then completely ignore all relevant questions.

I have asked on facebook, but got no answer, I doubt I will ever get one. But someone asked about the N7 HQ and another asked about the DA Keep both are stored on the social.bioware.com and Bioware said that they have no official plans to make changes to N7HQ.

Do you know if the old BSN and the Toolset wiki will be closed too? There are a lot of mods, modding tools and information that should be preserved too.

Does it scrape as text only? Screen shots?

Could you just post one page at a time to a new forum?

I'm copy pasting some smaller threads I value. I do appropriate formatting to make it more legible. Bolding screen names and adding dividers ----

They are trying to save as much as they can from the forum, using the scraper, HTTrack and Wayback machine, and later try to import the information on the new forums or at least make a read-only mirror site.

TBH I didn't find any reference that looks exactly like what I imagine of Spike, really fine lean muscles but a really lean body laying down that side so well... Most reference photos are buffy guys or lean girls.

Don't know if lean enough (NSFW link - male back nudity) http://ninivekha.net.../Laying_Ref.JPG
or if I can post it here because nudity.

Hope it helps, though.

Thanks, Tesh. I have tried to sculpt a few times, but still trying to figure out how to do it properly, the same with painting. But am I very comfortable with 3D mesh modeling, as long as I don't have to do in 3D Max, I hate its interface.
 

@Al: can you actually make mini Kaidan move? For animation? It looks much more soft already with higher poly count, although lower one is super cute somehow

I loved the low poly one, as long as it doesn't move, otherwise it makes me cringe everytime the head turns. And yes, I can make him move...

http://www.ninivekha...niME/index.html

btw, the animations are not mine, they are motion capture animations from Unity, but I use it to test the mesh. And the higher poly one will move so much better and have facial expressions. 

Tesh, the painting looks amazing and I loved the detail in the fan, however I think the green colour on her right hand is too strong, unless you are adding more green on the other hand too, or more shadows on the hands...
 
 

Can you make it a more high count polygon somehow, or would you have to use a new model? (sorry if it's a nonsense question, I have no idea about these things!)

 
Working on it, head done already... probably needs a new painting too.
 

Spoiler

Vor, the dress looks so nice already, so delicate.

Ceru, the details depends of the painting's size, so I have a 1024x1024 pixels for the armour, 512 x 512 pixels for the head and 256 x 256 pixels for the pistol. It should all fit into a 512 x 512 pixels image but I couldn't do it so small... the pistol painting turned into a pixel art.

Spoiler

Added a skeleton so I could pose it, but got so deformed because of low poly count that I gave up on animating it... I should just finish the painting.

Spoiler

@alschemid: wait wait you are colouring manually mini Kaidan?? O.o

Thanks Vorathrad, and that is a lovely dress.

Ok Ceru, but I still think it is painting bacause I am just adding and mixing colours on the surface with a brush... but whatever we call it may I still post the WIPs here? ... less chance I will give up working on him.
 

Spoiler

Doing my best!!! Are you all still drawing though...?

It looks really nice.

I have been painting on 3D model, does it count?

Spoiler

Wow Ceru, you have improved a lot!! Congratulations! Don't give up.

I love the foxy one

... such replay value and yet i tend to go back to my old canon playthrough...

yea, you and me both...    

You can do it that way if you like.

 

Another way is to do Grissom, Turian Platoon, genophage,  coup, Turian bomb, Rannoch and Rachni. Or if you want to get some interesting dialogue from Hackett just before Chronos, do Grissom, Rachni, genophage, coup, Rannoch, Turian Platoon, Thessia, Sanctuary and Turian bomb.

 

The only mission that has to be done before the coup is Grissom.

An interesting dialogue from Hackett and a super nervous Kaidan ... I will definitely go this way.

Grissom Academy will not be available after the coup. If you want to get Jack, that mission has to be done before Kaidan can get back on the Normandy
 

Oh ok, thanks, i got confused there... so getting Jack before Kaidan... like this:

Sur'Kesh->Rachni->all expiring missions done before Citadel Coup (including Jack)->Genophage Cure->Citadel Coup->Rannoch ->Turian Platoon->Turian Bomb

Thank you! I am getting Jack as soon as I get Kaidan then.

Wow.. this blog is great, thanks... hmmm... I see I need to go back a few saves though.

I am in need of help, what are the missions I have to do in ME3 to get Kaidan as fast as possible? I remember there was a post about it a long time ago but I can not find it anymore.

Thanks.

LOL It's probably a bit early to assume how zealous a dog owner he'll be canonically, since this is his first.

Actually it is not his first dog, you can ask him if he had a dog before.

Last one before I pass out, lol. A bug reported on the Sera thread made me realize I completely forgot to talk to Cassandra a second time after the first cutscene, and heeeey turns out she has something to say about you and Cullen!

Oh.. no... how could I have missed that one... now have to play this DLC all over again.

If you mean jumping. Well...

Yea, actually I meant sprinting and jumping everywhere... now I see I am the only one who doesn't do it...    

Am I the only one who walks in this game?

There are 5 novels:

 - "The Stolen Throne" (about the ferelden rebelion against the orlesians) and "The Calling" (return of the grey wardens to ferelden) both before the events of DAO.

 - "Assunder" (mage/templar war), "The Masquered Empire" (the start of the orlesian civil war) and "Last Flight" (about the forth blight and the grey wardens, I think, I have not finished it yet), all of them after the events of DAII.

I think if you go too fast it gets cut...

It isn't harder and on the lowest difficulty you can whack a dragon with comparative ease.

Can it be done solo? With a low level character?

I even tried the MP to see how it is like but it was just hack & slash, no exploration, no role playing, all the other players were running so fast that I couldn't even understand what was going on... eventually I was killed and left behind.

That wartable mission is not the same as the new content via multiplayer.

If even it is new MP content my question still stands... why it is given only by MP mission and not by SP war table mission too?

Story wise it makes no sense the inquisitor kill a dragon, does the war table mission to dislay the trophies but they are not shown, then an inquisition agent kills a dragon and Skyhold is full of dragon trophies on display... If it is a sabotage to undermine the inquisitor display of power s/he requires new war table missions to investigate the source of it , yeah... I am looking at you MP agents...

Considering that I have all those MP DLCs installed in my computer anyway they could just make a patch or something to unlock it tied to the war table mission, no?

If the SP has a war table mission which one of possibilities is to set up the trophies that the inquisitor has collected why do I need to play MP to actually see it?
