Just wondering if anyone knows whether or not the handy dandy codexes will be coming back in Dragon Age 2? I really enjoyed all the extra info I got from reading them.

I would like it if the entries had titles rather than just numbers so we could find them more easily.

I would also like it if the word codex were properly pluralised as codices.


I would like it if the codex entries wrote themselvs.

And sent me cookies.

I think you meant "Cookicies."

We'll likely move to an alphabet sort for them, rather than #s. Easier for everyone.

Any chance of the codex being voiced?


No. No chance of that.

Score one for BioWare.  Way to avoid a completely unnecessary waste of development resources.


Well, we had to get something right. <_<

don't be all emo mike :P


*Snerk* I can't even begin to get emo. If I tried to cut myself with the swords I have lying around our office, I'd lose my whole arm.

Do you really have swords lying around your office? Because that would be rather awesome.


Withing 6 steps of my desk I have:
  • A terribly balanced but rather pretty curved chinese saber that hung on my wall all through writing Jade Empire, and managed to fall, rather catastrophically while I was on the phone during a voice-over session.
  • A prop crossbow that so far has proven more than adequate at launching pens at Fernando.
  • An inflatable sword staff; inflated
  • An inflatable warden sword; sadly deflated by time
  • A replica of the Warden's sword from the blur trailers
  • And both of the letter openers that you can buy right now!
So, to answer your question, yes.

You get a lot right.  Often your first design instincts are good.  It's when you try to change your design to suit your audience that you move in the wrong direction.


*Grins*

That sure looks like encouragement to continue doing what we're doing: designing to our instincts. Very well! Thanks, Sylvius. I didn't expect you to be so supportive.

It would be pretty awesome if they made the codex into a book/guide. I'd definitely buy it.


We have amassed enough info that I think we could make a pretty impressive Encylcopedia of Thedas, if they ever thought there was market enough for it. Me, I think that would be tres cool.
