It's full of monotonous tasks and has a definite lack of NPC character development. And don't get me started on the glitches.

Anyway, that a very interesting read.

I never really encountered very many glitches in my playthrough,besides the occasional crash...Anyway I agree with you about the character developement,but who really plays Elder Scrolls games for the character.I have DAO for that lol But alot of the quest are "monotonotus" as you say,really is quite a shame.:blush:

Yay!!!
When I first got into DA last year I was very impressed with a lot of the lore - Justice and Anders was big for me, and that led me to reading about Jennifer and her work on the games. I was really impressed then, and it's cool reading an interview about it now and thinking "Hold on - I've read about this person before! I know who they're talking about!" ^^

Uhm - because it's dull just running around randomly no matter how good the world design is? That's how I've always felt about Bethesda games.

I would love to see how all that PnP RPG expertise is actually put to work in the games. Because I haven't seen it in a while.

Nice interview. Looks like she wrote some of my favourite parts from Dragon Age 2 and Origins.

Hey, I dig the Otherland series. Not as much as "Memory, Sorrow and Thorn," mind you …

I liked that part about the young fellow's letter about Anders. Kinda heartwarming.

Action combat.

If Skyrim had a VATS-like system, it would be a brilliant game, but Bethesda's insistence on action combat in TES games is a serious drawback.

I love the bit about bringing her son home in a Hero of Ferelden onesie. Great interview. She's a great writer.

you can pause the game in Skyrim (use the favorite menu).
I thought Bethesda did a pretty good job on combat this time.

I officially love Jennifer Hepler. Really looking forward to seeing what she writes for DA3.

Also, where can I get this Hero of Ferelden onesie???

But you still have to select targets in real time.  You still have to trigger abilities in real time.

Honestly, browsing inventory is the one thing I think shouldn't pause combat.

Oh she wrote the dwarf commoner part! I love that part!

Rest of the interview was cool. I wish she'd have said something about dragon age 3 though.

Sounds like a cool gal, makes me wish I went to college. Oh well.

And Skyrim is a good game.

The 10 million people who bought the game would disagree with you...i'm just saying.
