Yeah, it would be, especially since the leaked video of the dwarf warrior was just copyright-claimed by EA.
Eeeh... Joe's reviews are a lot of fun, but he's a terrible interviewer. Constantly interrupts, yanks the mic away in the middle of the other guy's speech... it's just they're not that good.
Really? The dwarf one was taken down?
Huh. Guess the uploader didn't have Bioware's permission after all.
Also yeah, Joe is a terrible interviewer but he still knows what he's on about

I think I may just have to make my peace with the fact that, despite signing up on Day One of beta roll call, I will never make it in until the thing releases to the general public.

I guess that is what they mean by 'interactive party banter.' ![]()

I'm so happy seeing all those awards
.
While I loved DA2 myself, I know that this was ... not a universal opinion ... and that BioWare would have an uphill push to get the hype train running this time. It's cheering that so many people seem to have enjoyed the demos and trailers.

Madame is never used as a noun in French so Madame de Fer sounds really weird, no one would say that. It's as if you'd call her Mrs. Iron. Margaret Thatcher was called la dame de Fer. I believe they didn't check or something because it really doesn't sound right.
Hehe goes to show how different cultures developed different iterations of the same language. In Lebanon, Madame is actually used as a noun sometimes so I must have gotten confused.
In any case, we can just simply sum it up to Orlesian being based on French but not necessarily following all its rules. Perhaps in Orlais, Madame can also be used as a noun :]

Can a Bioware person explain to me why she isn't called "La dame de fer" but a weird "Madame de fer" ?
Or would a forumite kindly ask that on twitter ? please ?
I don't use Twitter, but Orleseans are referred to in this way a lot in the correspondence we've seen in the first couple games. So instead of "The Iron Lady", it seems she's directly addressed "Lady Iron", like her name or social moniker in court would be "Vivienne de fer", Vivienne of Iron. Maybe it refers to a place she's from or something she's renouned for, but more like a title than a press nickname, like people say Alexander The Great as if it were his given name.

IGN talks a little about DAI here:
http://ca.ign.com/ar...age-inquisition
One tidbit to note here:
We’re still not sure how the game ties in to all the choices you made in the previous games, but there’s clearly some significant continuity between this game and the others. You’ll be able to claim the banner points in the game in the name of the Hero of Ferelden, so there’s presumably a strong tie to the character from the previous games.
What a pleasure to be representing such an amazing team and game! I'm looking at you #dai @bioware #e3 pic.twitter.com/9UyOH9cnjx

Thedas is not the real world.
In World of Thedas is says that the formal way of addressing a noble with the "lady" rank is Madame in Orlais. It's used as a noun in the the game setting. Lady of the Lake would be Madame du Lac in Orlais.
Yeah that's fair but why use a language as part of your world if you don't use it properly ? It would work if de Fer were her last name but it's a title so it's just not French. Would you create a game in say Spanish and call a character Wooden Mister, just because he comes from a country supposedly based on England ? It's literally the same mistake and I think it just sounds wrong, French being my native tongue. It's not a big deal but it's still a mistake in my opinion.

Actually, the usage of Madame in french wouldn't make sense if it wasn't a noun. Particularly in this instance where "de" is being used to connect one noun to the other.

I'm french too and Madame de Fer sounds french.
Just look up on the net , Madame is not just a title but can be used as a noun.
