i just want to know who wrote it.

i watched like 5 seconds of the guild, it was like rewinding my life before college..................

dark times

Felicia Day wrote it with consultation from Bioware. They approved the script when it was done.

I expected the trailer to be much more cringe-worthy so I'm cautiously optimistic that the web series won't be bad.

I am more or less optimistic. Maybe this will be a chance for Day to move away from her habit of making herself a Mary Sue in everything she writes.

Look for the world premiere of Dragon Age: Redemption this Wednesday, February 16, presented by Felicia Day on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on NBC...

I was lead to believe that this would be a premeire, not a trailer. I'm so glad I didn't bother watching/DVRing that.
That said, I am looking forward to it coming out, just wish we didn't have to wait for the summer. Oh well, 5 more days till the DA2 demo. That should occupy my time a bit.

Have you watched The Guild?

Cyd is about as far opposite as you can get from a Mary Sue.

Oh, that looks great! The production values look really good. They must have a decent budget. I'm definitely psyched, too. This looks like it's going to be great fun.

Mary Sue? Wtf? Have you actually watched anything she's written, or even acted in? 'Cause that's pretty hard to believe.

If you missed the show, you can watch the Felicia Day segment HERE

More of a teaser than a trailer, but still, looks pretty sweet (what I could see, at least).

[panamakira]

Just saw Felicia Day on Jimmy Fallon.....I had never heard of her before but she looks cute and fun....and I thought the trailer showed potential.....lol it all sounded super geeky, like video game live action web series, but aren't we all~



Anyway, I can't wait to see it...it definitely has potential....and now that I mention it....I want to see the heavy warrior armors...I wonder if its gonna look cheap~

[lostspline]

The armor isn't bad for low budget.

[Never]

Why is she so CUTE

I have, any trouble she gets herself into on that show is handwaved away in an instant. Having a few flaws as a character doesn't excuse the fact that it's a clear self-insertion of her own emotions and beliefs.

[Inzhuna]

When have writers ever _not_ inserted their own emotions and beliefs into their writing?

You know who else draws on their own experiences when writing and develops characters that share some beliefs with their creator? EVERY AUTHOR SINCE THE PRINTED WORD WAS INVENTED.

Not everything is a Mary Sue.

Yeah it's not that bad. It's pretty hard making any armor as believable with those amazing shoulder pads from DA:O but it looks pretty ok for a web series. And this is a templar's armor. I better see skirts!

Sharing beliefs isn't the same as her being exactly like her character. I'm not saying the Guild is bad, it works. What I am saying is that I don't need Codex 2.0 in a true Fantasy structure. I don't want her ugly duckling syndrome, her awkward nervousness or any of the other weak character traits in what's meant to be a protagonist you can rally behind. I found myself watching the Guild not for Codex, but for Zaboo or Wil Wheaton because honestly, if I try and focus too hard on Codex for any extended period of time I just feel like not watching it.

Like how she spends the entire first season unable to communicate for long enough to tell her internet stalker she doesn't want him staying in her house? And how the one guy she actually romantically pursues doesn't end up being into her at all? And how she still doesn't have a job, and got fired from the one that she got when the show started?

Now, let's not lie to ourselves, Cyd is just Felicia Day with a much lower charisma score. But that's not uncommon at all for a sitcome. Liz Lemon is just Tina Fey in the same situation, and so forth.

[errant_knight]

I think the problem here is that you don't know what a Mary Sue actually is. It's not just self insertion and The Guild is not it. If anything, that's self-parody.

[Sabariel]

Heh, "self-insertion".



Er... sorry. I couldn't help myself. Yay to Ms. Day and this live-action thingie!

[Sherbet Lemon]

Awww, she's adorable. I will probably check out the webseries and I'm curious to see how this story fits into the world of Thedas.



And I really hope that Jimmy Fallon story about him wanting to play Link isn't true. No offense to Jimmy Fallon, but he would be a terrible Link. I'm sure it was joke...#mordincough#...Yeah.



I should go.

[Blessed Silence]

Heh I missed out (don't like Jimmy Fallon really)

[namedforthemoon]

She is so cute! Thanks for posting the video link. Now I don't have to watch it on my tv with all the commercials.

[Edge2177]

Wow. So cool. O_O

[Wolf_in_the_Meadow]

That was so wild...



I've never seen the show before, being English, but was he supposed to be high? lol



Ms. Day was great as always, looking forward to 'Redemption!

Not everything is a Mary Sue.

Not only are most characters that people call "Mary Sue" not Mary Sues at all...

people are drastically misusing the term.

The link is truth.

Mary Sue's are "perfect" characters who almost always succeed and are the heroes (not in the protagonist sense, but the "saves the day" sense)...

Cyd Sherman perpetually FAILS.  The only real win she ever pulled off on her own in the whole series was being the last character alive in the duel in season 3 and winning the duel.  Cyd is an Arthur Dent, not a Mary Sue.

*shakes head*

When people so grossly misuse language, even slang, I have no concerns about donning the didactic hat, even at the risk of being called pedantic.

A lot of Felicia is in Cyd, I'm sure.  Like obsessively playing an MMO and being able to play the violin.  I'm pretty sure that being an unemployed "turning boyfriends gay" neurotic is NOT wish-fulfilment for Felicia Day.

Exactly.  The Tina Fey / Liz Lemon comparison is perfect.  It's hard for a character to be a Mary Sue when you, the creator, are at least equal to in most ways and superior in all other ways to the character you created.

Felicia day fan here since the guild started and I'm excited for her to be doing this. The little teaser does make the web series seem like it will be decent to watch, but I simply can't get over how bad those elf ears look (way too big)!

[Neverwinter_Knight77]

Oh, she's cuter than I expected.
