 I know that David Gaider is the one who is most mentioned and we have a pretty good idea of what he is like. Sometimes he is badass



but sometimes he is sad.



But is he the only writer for the Dragon Age games? Is there a crew given assignments, do particular people write particular NPCs (if Sten, Alistair and Zevran had the same writer I'd be surprised), and how much of the world/characters is purely creative and how much of a role does marketability play?

If anyone could shed some light on these questions that would be great. The process of writing a large RPG is something I'm fascinated by.

The rest of the writing team is Sheryl Chee, Jennifer Hepler, Mary Kirby and Luke Kristjanson, and they had an intern, Tonia Laird.

What happened to Ferret? Or did he only do Awakenings?

He worked on DAO too, but for some reason mobygames doesn't credit him. He's one of the leads on the DLC team now, I believe. I'm not sure what his involvement is in DA2 exactly.

Ferret's worked on DA II, along with a few others not on the initial list, like Tony Evans. And you can't forget our lovely and talented team of editors; there's four of them that have helped out in different capacities. I even snuck into the mix to write some talent descriptions.

We take writing pretty seriously.

As for characters in DAO:
Alistair, Morrigan, Zevran, Shale - David Gaider
Sten, Loghain, Dog - Mary Kirby
Oghren - Jay Turner/Sheryl Chee
Leliana, Wynne - Sheryl Chee

Actually, Sheryl gets credit for Dog, not me.

@Mike edit: or Mary!: Is the writing team bigger than Origins? Or is it just a case of people not always realising how many people worked on the writing side of things?

There are slightly more writers at one time on the DA team than we had on Origins, anyway.
