Doing my bi-monthly check to see if anything's been announced re: more Dragon Age. Blah.
I suspect it'll be a year or more until we even hear about a new game, to be honest.
My best bet would be another Patrick Weekes novel, perhaps next year. (Which is cool, because Masked Empire was awesome.)

Agreed, though they may cook up something before DA4 as they've been talking about expanding the franchise (eg. strategy game, etc.).
Me right now tryin' to be creative

The trend in the dragon age series seems to be that there are novels that come out prior to the games. Not really sure Gaider was writing Fenris for... maybe he co-wrote a book with Weekes?
I strongly suspect if there's a book that leads into DA4, it'll be about the beginning of the renewed war between Tevinter and the Qunari.

Emailing @Mike_Laidlaw and our awesome sound dude because @KarinWeekes made the mistake of giving me a little learnin'.
Working on my presentation for this panel today. Quoting Aristotle in the process. Really looking forward to it.

Of note, I’m going for a positive look at a game, because finding lessons in things is totally my jam.
Also, that night I’ll be there to help turn the Cuttlefish Theatre into the CUDDLEFISH Theatre!

Huh, I figured that this might have happened.
Lot of folks making assumptions about a DA book I was working on, as if it were announced. It never was, and it just never happened.

It existed at one time though. He got quite snarky at me about it...

Hm, I think he's being a little unreasonable here. I mean, the tweets he made (almost exactly a year ago, you can still Google them) mentioned that he was writing Fenris again, and that it was for a book. It wasn't World of Thedas (which came out a week later), so what were people supposed to think?
Fair enough that plans change, and I don't think anyone really thought he'd be releasing a novel after leaving Bioware, but Gaider didn't give any indication that he'd stopped working on it after tweeting a year ago that he was writing a book.
He also could've passed on the novel, or at least the storyline, to the writing team to incorporate into future works.


Apparently he "doesn't remember" making the tweet announcing it's a book...
Excuse me, but is this really news? I don't have it at hand, but I distinctly recall a tweet from Gaider when someone said they couldn't wait to read his next Dragon Age novel, and he said they'd be waiting for a very long time. It seemed obvious that it wasn't happening.
Not everyone follows all of the devs, or even this thread, closely. IMO it's good to have a definitive answer on the subject.
