Nothing good can come of this, Bioware.

And live-action darkspawn can't really be any worse than the S&M darkspawn of DA2.

I think they can.

Okay, maybe, but in that case only in the "that's so bad it's awesome" kind of way.

Yay another exploitation of the ever so rare "girl gamer", please no more I'm tired of seeing this popping up

Yeah, how dare we have some form of representation, right?  Given how many people still say "lolz, girlz don't game" or "The vast majority of gamers are dudes".

And saying she's being exploited is really undercutting her talent, imo.  I also don't think Felicia thinks she's "cool" because she's a girl gamer.

I'm pretty sure "embarrassing product of a delusional PR guy's mind" is not the sort of representation you really want.

I don't think David Gaider likes this. Someone is raping his baby. Figuratively.

Given the stupid costume you're already looking like a bunch of jokes, and that's putting it very, very nicely.

"Insipid clown" is something you "girl gamers" probably don't want to be associated with.

Any time a company wants nerd cred, they trot out either Felicia Day or Wil Wheaton or both. I like both of them, but fatigue is setting in.

First of all, I think The Guild proves that Felicia is perfectly capable of handling a web series.

Secondly, even if it is horrible, how does that reflect on female gamers?  One female gamer participates in an assumedly lousy web series and that makes us look bad?  lolwut

I sure hope so if that's the case.

This is literally the only time I have ever agreed with Mystranna on anything.

Who the heck is Felicia Day?

Being a big Joss Whedon fan I would guess he loves this. In fact, I would not be supriced if this was his idea to begin with.

Well I don't know how I feel about it yet but it's a Dragon Age live series so of course I am watching it!!!! I'm dying to see how the world looks to be honest, more than the story, but this can be a really cool thing right?



I can't wait ^^

Why are people assuming there's going to be Live-Action Darkspawn in this? The article only mentions Darkspawn in describing DA:O and the Darkspawn aren't even mentioned on the official page.

In Dragon Age: Redemption, Day stars as Tallis, an Elven assassin hired
by the Qunari to capture a rogue mage intent on wreaking havoc
throughout the world. In her quest to find this dangerous mage, Tallis
is joined by other companions who are not always aligned in their
beliefs and goals, but who band together to defeat their foe, in an
attempt to restore peace and balance to this dark fantasy universe.

I think your avatar is a testament to the depths of depravity that can be reached with a good series in the wrong hands.

Never in a million years would I consider Felicia Day's to be the wrong hands for an RPG web series.

But I honestly dare anyone to tell me, seriously, that this won't be the most egregious pandering to the teenaged boy mindset Dragon Age is primarily marketed to.

Are you joking?  If it were the MOST egregious pandering, they'd have gotten Megan Fox.  It is pandering, for sure, but not nearly on the scale you're saying it is.

This is just as bad as the time they decided make fantasy RPG that wasn't DnD.

Megan Fox doesn't have nearly the same socially-stunted nerd appeal Day does.

Which proves exactly WHAT about this particular abortion? Does one venture of hers somehow automatically equate to quality in another?

I would say that one successful venture of hers establishes credibility that she can succeed.  Calling it an "abortion", especially when all you have is one or two still pictures and a paragraph blurb is just... stupid, to put it blunty.

If it's horrible it reflects on "gamers" as a whole. Being associated with that would make you look bad.

Also latching unto this like it isn't some incredible edifice of misogyny and chauvanism makes you look like you're just kneeling down and taking it when you really should be demanding better of people who should know better.

Hey, I'd love to be proved wrong. I really would. If this is good I'll be a happy boy. But I honestly dare anyone to tell me, seriously, that this won't be the most egregious pandering to the teenaged boy mindset Dragon Age is primarily marketed to.

I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say here.  Misogyny?  Chauvinism?
Demanding better people?  What are you talking about?

I agree. And I also got the impression that she doesn't se herself as cool at all. Thats one of the things I like about her. She's just a normal girl that also is a gamer and just doesn't sitt around dreaming about what she would like to do, she does it.
