David Gaider@davidgaider: Hard at work on my second #DAI party member. This is one of those rare times the muse comes easily. So awesome when this happens.

Huh. 

Didn't Gaider say close to a year ago that all party members were locked in and that things like if they were romanceable or not was already written in stone (the reason the thread he responded to had been started)?

I realize many things changed with the new release date being in 2014, but if the Lead Writer is just now working on the second party member, that seems a little wonky to me.


But what do I know?

I suspect the characters are "designed" already, but what they are doing now is writing their dialogs.

There have been some mixed signals from Gaider on that front. The leaked survey caused him and several other devs to make a few contradicting statements.

Well, they may have made all the design decisions about the characters but not actually started writing the line for line dialogue?  All I can think of.

I agree with Lord Aesir. The fact that the companions were locked up doesn't mean that they already wrote all the lines about them.
Though the time extension might have changed some plans about companions too. I'm more interested to know which companion he's writing (Cassandra would be the first).

There's a new interview up with lead cinematic designer Jonathan Perry:

http://www.gamerzine...ew-talking.html

One of the things I’m excited about with Dragon Age: Inquisition is that we have all new tech allowing us to build a lot more reactive systems. So instead of just switching back and forth between these over the shoulder cameras, still using these stages, we can create cameras that are intelligent. They can react to what’s going on in scene, so if you’re really upsetting somebody or the relationship is taking a turn for the worse we can start to drop the camera down or pitch it up, so it feels a bit more hostile, or if you’re making all the right moves in that romance conversation, flirting back and forth, we can have the camera push in. I think it’s really cool that we have an intelligent camera at this point, so it opens up a lot more opportunities to make these scenes feel unique. We might experience the same lines, but the framing of the characters in the shot might be completely different based on what we’re doing. Previously when a character said a line they would always have the same emotion, but now we have systems depending on how you’ve been treating that person. They could say the same line, but have a stern look or a happy look based on how the conversation is going or what has come before that.

Another question and answer:

Q: Will players be introduced as leader of the Inquisition straight away or is there a prologue chapter where you get to establish your character a little bit? We were big fans of the origin chapters in the first game…

A: You will have some time before you actually become the Inquisitor. We’ll open up with the events that cause this giant rift in the sky and show that the organisations and the groups of Dragon Age that would normally do something are completely incapable of responding, so there is a need to form this Inquisition. There is a need for leader of the Inquisition and, for reasons we won’t mention, your character becomes that leader. The Origin stories were really great, but as Mike Laidlaw said we will leave those stories for Origins as its own special thing. For Inquisition our reference point will be being the leader of this organisation.

Sometimes characters change "owners" in-between games (ex: Anders), so Gaider might not have written Cassandra this time around. The only character he confirmed writting is Morrigan (unless I missed one of his comment somewhere).

edit: Gaider just did a blog entry about writting for KoTOR migth give people an idea of how the writting process works.

That sounds pretty cool. Intelligent camera, different emotions when speaking a line, plus the new reaction wheel for our Inquisitor: looks like a great deal of reactivity.

[ShaggyWolf]

^That sounds incredibly cool. I'm super-excited for this game, half because I love Dragon Age and half because the aspiring game developer in me can't wait to see what they do with all this new tech.

The reactive camera and facial expressions sound really sweet. I cannot wait to see it in action!

Yeah, there's a difference between being fully written, and being specc'd out for what type of character they will be and what their relationships with the PC and other companions will be.


My jerkstore tease: I read the document that details how all the companions will see each other and how those relationships evolve.  It was a pretty fun read

That sounds good.
One of the great thing about DA2 was the party member being close to each others , and just hanging together behind your back.
But the whole relationships evolving got me curious now.

Well, they said something about 5 Dragon Age games...

[Ilidan_DA]

Not Dragon Age V. Only 5 versions of the DA: I - PC, Xbox 360, Xbox ONE, PS3, PS4
