It's like the user never played the first two games.

 

To be totally honest, I don't think that guy did.

 

Still...

 

It's obligatory to post an image of Olivia any time a woman of power is mentioned.

Because nothing turns me on more than a woman who could kick my ass in a matter of seconds.

Unless the planet is like Uranus where it is laying on its poles rather than standing on them.


Such a planet wouldn't have a summer and winter as we know them. :P

@Mike_Laidlaw Does the story in #DAI change when playing as FemChar? Will the crowd react with hatred etc. because a woman has major power?
 

@user People in the Dragon Age world generally don't mind women in positions of power, so I don't see why that would be an issue.

 

 

Dragon Age is fantasy. Dragons, elves, dwarves, magic, no glass ceilings, Templars who ignore spells cast in front of them. ;)

 

In all seriousness, a world needs to make sense on it's own, their can be applicability, but it need not mirror our own world.

Why do the Dalish in TME use the Andrastian term demons? Merrill & WoT read that Dalish simply view them all as spirits. @PatrickWeekes

 

@user Partly for reader. Partly because saying, "It's all just spirits," works for rage but maybe not for Big Bads like redacted.

 

@user Partly because you're never in a Dalish elf's POV when it comes up -- Michel, Briala, Celene.

 

@user But mostly the first one, for ease of reading. It's a complex enough issue to require more time than was available to explain.

uh, hmm, you know I think one thing we could do is to not make a big deal out of too many things. Fans, and devs alike. And really we're all human beings with a tendency for miscommunication and misunderstanding.

 

To top it off we're trying to communicate via text, which is not the most effective way of communicating. We miss so much information w/only text. So, yeah, sometimes ppl are not gonna get the joke, or the ambiguity, or the intended intent of text. Maybe if we could hear their voice, or see their face, we would understand better.

 

Sometimes ppl just get confused. They don't understand. They may think that they personally just didn't get it.

 

As far as the Twitter thread, ppl were responding to something that was posted directly into this thread. They were trying to figure out what it could mean.

Edit long enough, you get the characters' voices in your head and start thinking/talking like them. I have so many voices right now. #editor

 

So I should probably take all of the voices in my head and go home.

@user Depending on who you have accompany you in DAI, you may learn one or two new theories about demons/spirits. :)

I seem to have missed a lot of this morning's drama.

 

As I understand it, we got unstickied due to the chatter which... some people like. And some people don't.

 

So... business as usual then? ;)

As someone who doesn't have twitter and only periodically checks this thread, I have to say, it makes sense for it to not be sticked anymore. If the OP was constantly updated to have the all the "important" tweets, it would be useful enough to be stickied. But having to search through 1200 pages of chatter for the actual dev tweets makes it rather useless if that's what I'm looking for (which is what this thread is supposed to exist for...)

Personally I come for both the Tweets and the comments on them. Half the fun sometimes is reading peoples funny comments on a funny tweet.  Going off on tangents though probably doesn't help, and should be avoided. 

 

Even though I myself can be guilty of this. :(

Not sure what happened?

Anyway I'm grumpy these days so I will resist the urge to rant .(too much)

Mostly I don't understand ,this thread has been going on for what ,more than a year?

We always got off topic , ok it was annoying when the off topic lasted pages ...but everytime I log on the site , it's one of the first thread I go read.

Because if there's some news , it's in there.(and it's not just about twitter , it's news about DA in general.)

 

I understand now with more info coming , the off topics are more frequent but I still think this thread should get a sticky.

I don't know if I should be happy to hear stuff for DA:I is getting cut, because that implies that the game gets closer and closer to Alpha (or Beta, or whatever the next stage of the project is) ... or sad because cutting stuff is ... well, sad. :unsure:

Don't worry. They'll find a way to use it in the future.  :)

The issue is more to do with people jumping to conclusions and the thread filling up with misinformation being declared as confirmed facts, and then people coming into this thread and then getting inundated with more misinformation, asking about it, and spreading it to other threads.

 

 

Also of note, you can subscribe to a topic (top of page, on the right) and you'll be notified when it is updated.  (A lot of people have done this).

The babies must die so that puppies may live.

 

You will like the puppies. They're cute. Once all the blood is washed off, I guess.

Puppies > Babies any day tbh.

It would be good if in this thread people were required to post a direct quote to whichever developer they are referencing when making speculations, instead of prefacing their words with something along the lines of "David Gaider said..."

What the problem seemed more to be was that a line of text was snipped out of the quote so that it lost context and seemed to be confirming something that it wasn't originally intended to confirm.

Saving money for DAI on PC. Know where I can find specs online or have any advice for what budget to shoot for, for best exp?

 

Mike Laidlaw @Mike_Laidlaw 

No specs out yet, but we'll have them out before launch.

 

User

In #DA:I web you can read: "You can choose your boots' color" or something like that...Is it true?

 

Mike Laidlaw @Mike_Laidlaw 

We've mentioned you can customize your armor, yes. Not specifically boots that I recall.

I seem to recall there used to be ME threads that would report all the currently known information.  The OP would be periodically updated with all the known information, plus citing where that information was revealed (tweets, magazine articles, Q&A sessions, etc)

Yeah, I remember that thread, it was really informative. I don't have nearly enough time or motivation to do that, and I'm still not sure how that user could ever keep up with that amount of information. When this thread started and Bioware hadn't shown the game yet, vague tweets from developers were literally the best sources for hints about the game - and there weren't that many of them, either.

I'm sure more "here's everything we know" threads will come as they start talking about DAI, but it does require so much time and effort to collect and source all that information from a relatively long period of time.
