EB Games has a release date of the 9th.


-_-

I really don't like it when companies do things like that. Why can't Oct 7th be a worldwide release date?

Darrah could stand to cool it on the male pronouns.

Though it is good to see how Leliana has changed over time

 

Interesting... I think her current incarnation in DAI looks the most like the CGI version in the Sacred Ashes trailer. It's almost like this is the one they wanted to make all along, but were limited by the game engines of DAO/2.

I would have to agree wih that... hence why I placed them next to each other

Glad I wasn't the only one annoyed when reading that.

Maybe because of time zones? In New Zealand we're a day ahead of everyone, so if it was released on the 7th here we'd get it on America's 6th.

For it to be released at the same time it should come out on the 8th, and places that share our time zone. But I'm honestly happy with the fact we get it even a few days after, sometimes we have to wait like an extra week and a half for books/games to come out.  ^_^

AusGamers interviews Cameron Lee:

Lots of spoilers in there and I was right about who "brings back" the Inquisition.

So the peace conference is at the temple of Sacred Ashes? Did I get that right? Interesting if so.

Better than referring to the Inquisitor as "it" as a pronoun. :P

False dichotomy. He could easily have used singular they rather than alienating the female players.

...Alienating? 

Jeez, I understand being a bit irritant that a developer decided to use a male pronoun for character that WE ALL KNOW COULD BE EITHER FEMALE OR MALE  in an interview but alienating female audiences? 

 

Come on.

Most men can not think in female terms.

I should know, I'm married to one.

IF that shaggy-haired blonde is Cole....wow. Looks like he's gotten buff since his description in Asunder. Good luck avoiding raunchy fanart of him now! xD

 

And... "...because at the beginning of the game when the head of the Chantry and the head of the Mage's faction they're going into the Temple of Sacred Ashes to this peace talk, and they're all killed"

 

The head of the chantry and the head of the mages? Does that mean the Divine and Fiona are going to die? Woooow. No wonder everything's going to Hell.

problem being that the language has male defaults... Mankind, Human, "Hey guys"... the default in our language is male... which means it also is meant to include females when male terms are used in plural forms...Also the person being interviewed is male so it is logical to use male terminology as it is the core oh his experience.
of course if we were going to talk about defaults in regard to biology then the default is female.

No such thing. "They" is plural and implies more than one person. I've had this tendency to use "they" to refer to one person without specifying a gender just to be politically correct beaten out of me since high school. It's just factually incorrect. Of course I'm also a writer so I suppose I'm biased but still, the convention is that you go with one gender or the other -- he or she -- in this case Darrah went with "he" -- likely because he's male, no biggie. Call your inquisitor "she."

Singular they has a long history. The fact that people have argued about its legitimacy during the course of its history doesn't negate its existence or use. You don't have to like or even have to use singular they, but that doesn't make it any less authentic or appropriate.

 

In conclusion, no one cares what your high school English teacher told you.

Oh ffs. The dude and his team worked their asses off to make game for us. Why are we b*tching about the word he uses? He can call Quissie whatever he wants, as long as he and his team do their job right. Get off his back already will you :/
