Well, darn....here I was thinking "I should wait until they announce pc specs next week to decide if I wasnt to replace my Toshiba"

 

Now I think I'm going to have to.

 

Sorry hubs, I know where our bonuses are going this year.....

I'd still recommend waiting for announced official specs. I'm seriously just guessing based on performance of my workstation compared to home; I'm not quite in the loop of that stuff. Hopefully announced ASAP!

MESSAGE POPULAIRE !

Minor derail since I see it come up sometimes and moreso in light of Aaryn's tweet.  The idea of there being a feud or anything between us and CDPR is overstated.  Fans of each franchise get passionate and there's brand loyalty and competition for wanting your brand to be better received or whatnot, but just on my own behalf I've had pleasant exchanges with Witcher devs on this very forum: http://forum.bioware...0#entry13680876  (although I believe Jan has moved on now).

 

Sure we compete and I'd be lying if I said I didn't hope "our game did better" but in the RPG space we both offer similar, though different, products in a space of gaming that isn't saturated with titles.  I expect to play their game when it is released, I hope they are interested in playing ours.  I see some of DAI's most ardent fans also excitedly tweeting for news for the upcoming Witcher game as well.  There are lots of fans that are fans of both.

 

 

So there we go.  Continue with the regularly scheduled discussion.

Is that what they call comp-time in Bioware?

It really should be.

Quotes from Cameron Lee:

 

MMORPG.com: Can armor be dyed and/or upgraded without changing its look?

 

Cameron Lee: Color is dictated by the materials you use in crafting. Special dye items won’t be at launch, but we’re looking at the possibility of adding them later on, but no guarantees.

 
 
 
For armour, a lot of people looked at our inventory screen and went "wow there's only one slot for armour and one slot for helmets, where's my gloves and my legs?" And they're actually incorporated into the armour. So you can find and craft different arms and different legs and insert them into the suit of armour to change its look and improve its stats again. 

 

 

Here's a pic of what I mean by that.

You can see on the right that there's an arm and leg slot. This picture is someone modifying an existing suit of armor to include new arms, hence the list of arms on the left which they are picking from. Arms and legs can be added to armor as many times as you like and they change the look and stats of the final suit of armor. Arm and leg upgrades can be found, bought or crafted, just like hilts, blades and other types of upgrades for weapons which use the same type of modification system.

It was great to finally put faces to names I see on Twitter and the BSN, like Marie-Renée, Colin and Fabrice. B)

 

But that concept art at the end - is that new or old?

Yeah I think it's old, but not sure. I took a stroll around the studio and didn't see it pinned up anywhere, but we don't put everything up. You guys might be able to trawl through the art books and such to confirm. (x-posted from ME twitter thread)

Since i've seen a fair amount of spoiler talk in this thread, I just want to politely remind folk to please not post any screens or links from the Art of Dragon Age: Inquisition. Okay, cool. [Ninja vanish.]

Scylla's twitter background is something I don't think we've seen before. Looks to be an in-game art gallery. 

 

It's actually just his office in the studio. /jealous

We need a "dislike" button on here so that posts like Garrett's can be hidden by having enough dislikes before mods have a chance to come in and delete them.

This almost made me very sad. Just one key off though, whew! Don't dislike meeee

Where are all the programmers? Or do all of these guys have to know how to code and stuff as well, in addition to their main job?
 

The dev twitter listing is really not at all indicative of the size & ratio of roles/positions on the team. There are indeed a lot of programmers (though designers and tech QA can sometimes dip into the codebase from time to time, depending). I know a lot of our programmers are on twitter, but don't necessarily tweet game stuff or just aren't as active. Too busy neck deep in the matrix!

10 Hit Darkspawn with sword

20 If Darkspawn dead?  Then Goto 40

30 Goto 10

40 Print text "Hell yeah!"

 

I could easily work for BioWare with my programming prowess as evidenced by the code above.

Metacritic rating of 101, would play for infinite hours

I miss rec requirements by 1 gb of video ram, no big deal, I like my laptop even more now

Shouldn't matter too much unless you're running larger resolutions like 1440 and such.

I have a GTX 660TI (2Gb) and I run my PC on 1920 x 1080, so it's really better to go on PS4, right?

I'd say whichever platform you prefer in this case. 660TI should rock DAI just fine if you go for it on PC.

(Protip: buy both! my salary might thank you)
