She's a woman, her opinion doesn't count anyway.

Well if you guys notice with DA2 you don't get to make any meaningful choices and the choices ou do make have the same outcome. So the writers are trying to turn the storys into a movie or book instead of it being YOUR story like the warden was in origins.

What are you talking about?  No matter what you do in either game the outcome is the same.  Except 2 has a way better, more original, personal and darker story.

Who cares, can the person write? Yes, the writing and characters in DA2 are excellent. Say all good things about a game and you are some game developer shill who is only towing the line. Say there are parts of games you don't like and you shouldn't be saying that.

Tell me when she says "I don't like writing" and i might care

[EccentricSage]

I don't really care if she doesn't like playing games, so long as she writes well. Only thing that bothered me about the interview is when she talked about how if they want more female players, they have to streamline and simplify things because females are too busy taking care of their family.

I hope she just keeps her nose in her writing and out of the rest of the development process.

No fast forward button if you're playing a 2nd, 3rd, 4th time? That's just silly.

After my first playthrough there is always some dialogue I'd rather not hear/read over and over again.

Fail.

TEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIGAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

I have no real opinion about this but there are different forms of writing - any writer worth being paid ought to know their audience.

If she could write an excellent essay - that would hardly help her. If she was a crack shot at making biographies interesting - that's not going to help her.

I'm sorry, she shouldn't be working on games.

It's a different kind of storytelling, one that demands you understand the medium in order to write well for it. It requires that you be able to understand divergent paths on the part of the player, and the tone the game has set leading into some specific story bit.

If she doesn't like games, or their gameplay, then she shouldn't be writing for them as she does not have the proper frame of reference to do it well.

But that does explain why many things made little sense in some of the recent games.

I fail to see the issue. As others have pointed out, some prefer the story/dialogue aspects of RPGs over the actual combat. Because someone may hate/have trouble fighting darkspawn in the Deep Roads, it still does not follow that they will be incapable of writing character interactions or a storyline.

I disagree but would it help if I mentioned that she's a fan of pen-and-paper?

There are a ton a videogame developers that don't enjoy playing games much.

Is this really a big deal?

Ill admit i lold, but thats just harsh. 

Shes a writer. If she just wants to write i don't see how its anyone elses business.

The absolute non-funny crudeness of PirateT138's reply aside, I'm going to close this since the OP chose not to even attempt to start a discussion here. Looks more like a spam/troll attempt than anything else to me.
