There are many things that take a bunch of time at work. Just copying a game build can take 10 minutes. Other activities take longer. This process that I am running here is going to take 15 mins or so. E-mails are up to date, so let's see what is going on in the forums. Although, reading a bunch of the Twitter posts today makes me think that I should get a Twitter account.

 

Facilities just dropped off a fan in my office, after noticing that I was sitting at my desk with an ice pack on my head. I think that will let me hold on another hour or two.

 

You should get a Twitter account so we can stalk you

This might be my inner-Vulcan talking, but I wonder how much time the devs would have to work on the game if they stopped tweeting about nonsensical issues

 

Most, but not all, of the tweets from BioWare developers seem to come from the writers, who are finished with their jobs (as far as actually developing DAI is concerned). I don't see what the problem is.

Anyway, we shouldn't take for granted that Bioware's developers, especially the Dragon Age team, are so social with the fans of the franchise they work on.

 

They can easily go quiet and then you'd bet you'd have loads of people here realizing they didn't know what they had until it was gone.

I think the writers are who most of the fan tweets are addressed at too, since that seems to be where the majority of forumite interest is - plots and stories of our games

Lies. You mean fans DON'T want to know whether a character's steps will match each step in a staircase?

So really someone who wasn't a writer could sneak past a Spoiler story post and not many people would see it then

I liked it, but I am worried about the conversation system. It zooms in a tiny bit, but will all conversations while questing be like that? And will the camera not look over to our companions when they make a comment (looked that way in the demo shown)? I want to be able to look at the people that are talking closely and see their expressions.

 

I hated that most convos in ME3 had you just standing there and not have a proper dialogue mode when talking to your squad mates on the Normandy. Looks like they are doing something similar, only it doesn't even matter if there are dialogue options for you to choose . If it's the same way for the romance content I'm going to be extremely sad :/

 

Big conversations are much more cinematic in the way BioWare has done in the past.  A lot of the quicker conversations, or optional conversations, are not.  An advantage for doing this is it lets us ramp up the amount of dialogue in the game without making CinDesign withering husks.

 

 

EDIT: Evidently John already posted a more eloquent answer!

Any worries of whether this might keep players from engaging in less important dialogue, or psychologically having a player care more or less about a situation given the cinematography or lack thereof for certain dialogues over others?

@Mike_Laidlaw I noticed a timer for some of the war table missions. Is it gonna be real time? Or is it faster than real time?

 

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw 7m

The war table is real time, but there are ways in the game to speed it up. Those was are NOT "money", before anyone asks.

 

(I think that's suppose to be ways are not money)

Today, I adventure with Sera, Solas and Cass. They do not all get along. It's lovely.

[LPPrince]

Cass and Sera at the same time should be entertaining as hell, hahaha.

 

*three fingers in, Cass*

Dunno about you, but I'm going to be talking to ALL THE THINGS. Plants included, if there's an option. (initially typed 'pants', although that works, too  )

I'm sure the flora would thank you for it

Different people process work differently. Intense detailed focused work is often well complemented by momentary rests, some levity or thinking at a different level. I have no doubt that there are periods, often extended periods of high focus, but for many that needs to be broken up. Periodic nonsensical tweeting is a good sign of high quality activity.

 

And for writers this all part of their craft after all...

Given that it means "less dialogue and content for the players" otherwise, it's the lesser of two evils IMO.

Truth. I wonder if there's ways to counteract the negative effects of the psychology though.

Taking some time to interact with fans that are excited and supportive is literally a cathartic event that helps me deal with stress of being super busy.

And thank you for doing it. Sorry for those out there that will be negative;but cheers to the positivity, right?

"Don't click on it," I told myself. "It specifically says 'Broodmother' - Avoid!!"
....and then I clicked anyway.

Retreating to the @DragonAgeKeep office because their office isn't so bad! I'm sure I can find something to talk about!

Though those who weave magic through code are also highly appreciated,
