I feel a little bad for the BioWare crew, they can't even tweet without a bunch of BioWare crazies admirers analysing everything in a forum thread. 
Not that I'm gonna stop reading it....or commenting on it....but you know, for balance. I'm here ironically. Yup.

if women can transition to men under the qun, is it possible vice versa? are there males who are better fit as tamassrans?
Patrick Weekes @PatrickWeekes
There are some branches/specializations that would already have men. BUT. Yes. Aqun-Athlok works both ways.
User
uh, extension of my thoughts on the Qun for a moment, if you'll indulge me- would you consider it's a patriarchal society?
Patrick Weekes @PatrickWeekes
Depends on definition. It's NOT ruled by men, but it does have strict gender roles, which go along w/patriarchy.
User
Fair point! are men valued higher and do they have more benefits in their society?
Patrick Weekes @PatrickWeekes
(Also, to be clear, @BioMaryKirby would be first to confirm that Qun is not our attempt at a perfect or good society.)
Patrick Weekes @PatrickWeekes
It's a society that was made to be different and interesting, which means good parts and bad parts.
User
i'd say you've definitely succeeded in that! i could debate the moral inclinations of their structure all day
Patrick Weekes @PatrickWeekes
That was more @davidgaider and Mary. I just had Bull play with the interesting society those two built. 
User
it's interesting all right! oh man the demands of the qun quest gets me every time... what do you choose?
Patrick Weekes @PatrickWeekes
As much there is no wrong/right answer, I won't let my own people die for political gains. I always save the Chargers.
User
oh oh, writing the iron bull, did you write the Chargers too? any favourites there?
Patrick Weekes @PatrickWeekes
Yep! All of them are fun -- exiles making a family for themselves. And Krem, as voice of the Chargers, meant a lot to me.

are we ever going to see the effect of discovering the Titans & what lyrium really is from The Descent? Or is it hush hush?
Patrick Weekes @PatrickWeekes
Definitely spoiler territory -- both what the effect is and to what degree we'll address it in future content.

Thanks so much for that conversation Hrungr, I love that Patrick Weekes is happy to chat about the lore like that. 
We're proud to make games in Canada. Happy #CanadaDay 
FYI, the promo packs for DA2 (and ME2) are free on Origin right now.
^ What "promo packs"? 
[edit]
Never mind, I see it now...
All of Dragon Age 2's PC promotional items under one roof. This pack includes: Hawke Family Crest, Band of Stolen Shadows, The Deep Green, The High Lord's Belt, The Ring of Whispers, The Antivan Garrote, Arlathan Focusing Crystal, Pendant of the Morning Frost, Staff of Parthalan, Air of Confidence, Amulet of Ashes, Boots of the Frozen Wastes, Fadeshear, The Lion of Orlais, Dura's Blue Flame, Evra's Might, Evra's Trophy Belt, The Far Cliffs of Kirkwall, Hindsight, Hayder's Razor, Ivo Family Crest, Lothering's Lament, The Irons, Of Things Not Lost
I thought all of these had already been unlocked for everyone like four years ago. I've had everything on my account (excepting Sir Isaac's Armor) for a very long time, so I'm not really sure what this Origin free deal is.
Then again, it doesn't matter to my own play experience, since I don't install DA2 through Origin because I don't want patch 1.04 that breaks more than it fixes.

I see DA2 and ME2 are included in origin access (the monthly sub service), as well as DAO. Is that what you meant, Hrungr?

How do we find this? I have those, but I'm thinking more for ME2???

Those were available before (though I'm not sure if through Origin or Social BioWare). Blood Dragon Armor and Ser Isaac Armor became available for those who couldn't redeem them before.

I think it was both, cause I got some of it from Social BioWare and some from Origin. Also AWW YES! *installs the free armors*

Just view game details in Origin and scroll down the list.

Ah yea, I see those armor things there now. It's very nice to finally have those unlocked.

Yep. I quietly hope that, with time, they'll unlock ME3 and DAI promotional items as well *looks at N7 Defender armor and Light-Torn Steed mount with longing*

Getting that Mount would be so great.

Is it just me that even the word future content in the tweet got me excited?
LadyInsanity/Ashe, GamerMD83, AbilityDrain and myself were on VGS recently. There's some DA4/DAI stuff in there as well!
Did you see that Gamespot has declared our awkward game of cards that we played awkwardly to be, of all things, awkward? GASP
Patrick Weekes @PatrickWeekes
They really need to see the outtakes.
Today's work on painting Calpernia. I think I'm just about ready to call her finished.
Details of the just-about finished Calpernia sculpt. Varnish next!

I may do some savory ones too. #hotpocket
I think I may cry. This is all I've ever wanted.

is this why Dragon Age is filled with so many loving references to food?
User
Sten & Sera love cookies. Solas and Blackwall like frilly cakes. Sebastian digs fish pie
And then there's @AndreSandToast, who puts cheese in all the levels.
Do you think they use nug milk to make the cheese?
It would be real hard to get enough for a decent-sized cheese.
Where there's a will....
