If the Witcher 2 is mature and "intelligent" then Dark Souls is doctoral level intelligence and maturity. 


Did you even play that game? 

What, Dark Souls? I doubt you have. 
I think Dark Souls is intelligent and mature because the story is behind the narrative, you basically have to put together the pieces of the story yourself and actually have to have some imagination behind it to really figure out what happened. (in other words, its not spoon fed to you like 90% of videogames -- INCLUDING the Witcher)


That is just unfounded. You act as if spoon feeding is a flaw to narrative technique. Mystery is good, yet all it brings is speculation, and speculation isn't solid. I like G.R.R Martin's way of enigma, but to the point where your imagination is the only thing keeping a nonsensical narrative together? No, that's not good at all. The Witcher doesn't spoon feed you at all, it keeps you guessing too. Why is Raymond suddenly suspicious? Was he actually that kid? Will Iorvevth come back? What the hell happened with Letho and the sorcerreses lodge?

Both games have their flaws; yet their narratives are almost perfect. I've never seen such solid story-telling from a video game apart from Planescape: Torment and Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. Yet BG2 went for a more simpler approach, whilst TW2 (and the first one in some respects) is ASOIAF with Dwarves and Elves.

Hey, guys! Guess what 2 pages arguing about an unrelated game did to this thread?

Keep it up and it's going to be locked.

Seriously guys. Let's keep this thread open and leave off-topic conversations somewhere else. Okay?

If the mods are nice, they'll simply remove the off topic posts and issue warnings as needed. But let's not tweak the tiger's tail guys please. Besides, some people are getting sick of checking the activity in this topic and finding it isn't about new Twitter posts.

From the sounds of Chris Priestly's latest Twitter updates, I think today was the last day of BioWare's holiday break. I guess that means more news should be incoming before too long.

I think he may be from the US

US has an atrociously short holiday period for workers.

US is not as good as they say they are, they have pretty hard living conditions, despite all the first world "nice things"

It's all hands on deck for this one. Pretty much every ME3 DLC writer here in Edmonton is involved. (which would include both Patrick Weekes AND John Dombrow)


Mother of God...


Not to burst the optimistic bubble, but 'involvement' could just be writing a dozen lines for a squadmate interaction on the Normandy, or something. I'd presume writers would write for the character they handled in ME3, given the need to maintain a consistent voice. 

We don't know how big the DLC is intended to be, or what it is, or what the writers would even be doing. 

(Although I'd love some more text files a la Shadow Broker, they really added some flavour.)


"All Hands On Deck" seems to be promising in content, even though there's absolutely no details what-so-ever abut the content being promised.. other than voiced add-ons of Kaiden (and presumeably Ashly).  The mentions of having all hands on deck (all of the writers and voices) coming back for the final DLC add intrigue. I'm curious to know what this DLC consists of and (of course) a release date as well as a possible price....  Any thoughs?  Haven't seen much about "All Hands on Deck" in about 40 or so pages of threads..

Um, "all hands on deck" isn't the title of the content, unless Jos was being sneakily literal in that sentence. Is that what you were asking?

It's an expression meaning they're bringing in all of the writers for this project, and presumably a fair chunk of the other teams who would be working on ME3 DLC content.

It wouldn't be surprising if the final ME3 DLC was named "All Hands on Deck"; with all things considered...

I know a lot of you keep mentioning this as the "last DLC" and it very well could be, but I don't think it is. I think it's going to be a big one, no doubt, but Priestly, I believe, was the one that said they have no timetable and no plans on when they are going to end the DLC or how many they are going to make. I'm holding out that they are going to hold to their word that this one will have much more DLC content than any of the previous games. And hope that this is not including MP DLC.

They're working on a new IP so I think the pre-production phase can be quite long, giving many of the BioWare devs time enough to make more ME3 content.
