Inspired by those crazy cousins in the Mass Effect forum.

Here's a list of Dragon Age-related dev accounts and some of the more interesting tweets over the past few months. It's fairly easy to miss tweets (especially with this many accounts) and tidbits of DA information are few and far between, but I know in ME3's case following developer accounts did give a lot of hints before info was ever confirmed officially.

Developers

Mark Darrah - DA series Executive Producer

Mike Laidlaw - DA Creative Director

Aaryn Flynn - Bioware Edmonton studio General Manager

David Gaider - DA Lead Writer

John Epler - Cinematic Designer, forum regular

Mary Kirby - DA Writer

Sylvia Feketekuty - DA Writer (formerly on the ME team)

Tonia Laird - DA Writer

Sheryl Chee - DA Writer

Ben Gelinas - Bioware Editor, on DA (current/past?)

Scylla Costa - DA Producer

Cameron Lee - DA Producer

Alain Baxter - Bioware Producer, was on DA team at some point, still harbours sekrits.

Jason Barlow - Bioware Project Manager

Sebastian Hanlon - DA gameplay designer

Aidan Scanlan - DA Assistant Director of Design (?)

Matt Rhodes - Bioware senior concept artist, was responsible for DA2 companion concepts.

Chris Priestly - Bioware Community doyen, may contain traces of snark.

News & Tweets

A tweeted-then-deleted image by voice actor Greg Ellis seems to confirm Knight-Captain Cullen as a character (in some form) for what he calls DA3:



Some of the more interesting tweets come from #sprintreviewday, which is (I gather) a bunch of meetings where team leads discuss the things they've accomplished in that 'sprint' session of development.

(note: Exalted March's cancellation was announced ten days after this, but had apparently been decided for a while earlier - so this seems to relate to The Next Thing?)

I've probably missed some DA devs and I'll try to add them to this post later.

All concept art tells a story, so posting any could give away information we didn't mean to give away. That's the rough of it, unfortunately.

In case you didn't get the message, Elite, that means you need to add Tonia to the list of developer Twitter accounts. ;-)

Was I that obvious!? Actually, I thought I was already on the list. I guess I shouldn't skim so much. But yeah! Add Tonia!

"Yeah! What she said!"

"Yeah!"

That's just evil. I thought Chris was the only "Evil" one.

Anyway, thanks for the list OP.

BWAHAHAHA I didn't realize he did this.

Though I think it still gave away too much!

In DA:O I noticed that only the Warden blinked (kinda odd, since you rarely get to see her/his face). I can think of the cinematic where daddy Cousland denies you to Duncan at the very beginning of the human noble origin.
I have no idea about DAII, never paid much attention, but I remember dead Weasley couldn't close his eyes on his own, so I guess they made Aveline pass her hand on his face to hide the thing.

Dead people don't close their eyes.  In fact, very rarely do dead people have their eyes closed for this very reason.  The gesture of a living person closing the eyes of a dead person, however, has been in cinema for decades though.

Looking over this thread, I strongly urge people to stop with the personal quibbles.
