Interesting read about his thoughts on book vs game writing. I have to say I love the reference to Lion in Winter, that is a fantastic movie and one of my all time favs as well. Hepburn and O'Tool were great.

thx for the link!
Though I actually do a lot of reading (more than playing games,) I haven't read the DA novels yet.
But I am curious now! *off to order books*

That was interesting. I haven't ever read the books yet either. I can never motivate myself to go through all my codex entries and sit down, and read. So I'm probably missing a lot of the lore, even if I read them I may not understand it.

I was told Mr. Gaider had a long white beard, a halo, and sat on top of a cloud.
I is disappoint. I blame Imported_Beer.

That's his true form, but he can't reveal it to the public. The vast majority of humanity would be blinded by the image's glory and majesty.

I loved the interview, thanks for putting it here.
I would also looove to see Maric, even as a cameo....it's true that the 2 worlds might not mix up well, but everyone knows Maric as Alistair's dad at least..so they can be tied. I would really like to know more about Alistair and Maric, and it's not just me.

David looks angry in that pic. It was probably taken immediately after he'd posted his response to some inane comment on this very forum.

I was also disappointed that he was not surrounded by flying cherubs, nymphs in diaphanous gowns playing lyres and buff men in togas serving wine.
Is Bioware or is not Bioware, Olympus?

A halo? A halo? Only if by "halo" you mean, "aura of malevolence." And by "cloud" you mean "throne made of skulls."

The plural of cherub is cherubim.

I like how your character actually does stuff in those scenes. I find myself looking forward to a "cinematic" style in DA2. I've never played any of the Mass Effects so I'm a newbie to that sort of thing.

That was a good read. I wonder if certain stories in the game are given to certain writers, like what happens to characters or does David have the full control on what happens with all the characters?

Every time I hear "the writer's pit" I picture this dusty gladiatorial pit with like a portcullis and blood stains and everything. Not sure what the opponent in the arena would be. The Blank Page Demon? The Enormous Writer's Block of Doom?

There there, guys. It's gonna be ok.

It's not nearly that interesting. It's mostly a room with a big "NSFW" sign on the door.

Well, there's also the "Scorpions... or candy?" box. And Luke has a robot playing guitar. So... that's sort of like a portcullis and blood stains.
