"In my defense, that name works really well as a series of letters on a screen. It only falls down when anyone ever wants to say it." -Me
Can confirm.

I know the DA crew is small right now, but it seems like hiring someone

I know the DA team is a skeleton crew right now while they're in (we guess) pre-production, but hiring someone to hit Patrick with a foam bat every time he puts an apostrophe in a name might be a worthwhile investment. I assume this used to be David Gaider's job
.
(I mean, I'm sure Mike could do it, but probably he has other stuff to be getting on with.)

My guess is that it's the core team of lead writing folks. Once they know what they're going to be doing with the story, they'll likely bring on folks to build the game, design art, cast voices, etc.

I think the artists come on pretty early too, the level designers need concept art to work from before they can start building.

Possible they'll stay in pre production until Andromeda is finished and then they'll move some people from Andromeda to DA mainly and others to new IP.

Yeah I think they come in once some locations/characters and things are solidified. Though we may or may not even be there yet *shrugs*.
If they've been working on it since Trespasser was done, I imagine they at least have them doing some preliminary mock ups of what they do have nailed down. They've probably determined, for example, whether Minrathous will be a place we can go yet and have some work being done on that.Yeah I think they come in once some locations/characters and things are solidified.

Well, I just got both extremely excited and sick to my stomach. lol

So we've had two male qunari party members in DAO and DAI. Any chance of a strong female qunari next?
Definitely a chance. We like doing character types we haven't done before, and that would be a biggie in hypothetical future game.
Now I kinda wonder if they'll bring Rasaan in for the next game...

They'll have to improve qunari hair to do so. So, win/win all around? ![]()
I agree. Cole handled that magnificently.

Of all factionf of Thedas we don't have Chevalier companion only.

That's not really true. Just off the top of my head: we haven't had a Tal'Vashoth who's a Tal'Vashoth from the start of the game, a Fog Warrior, an Ash Warrior (with a hound!), a Rivani Seer, a Nevarran dragon hunter or Mortalitasi, an Avvar, a Chasind, a person from the Anderfels who actually lived there and talks about it, a dwarf from Kal'Sharok or the Tevinter Ambassadoria.
Which is not to say I don't want to see a Chevalier companion, if it makes sense for the story, but there are many other groups and factions that also aren't represented yet.
