Seeing Patrick's tweets, it occurs to me - I wonder if the writer of the various bookna(Gaider in the past, Weekes now) get any sort of royalty deal? Or is it a structured set payment? Or, heaven forbid, is it just "part of their job," for which they recieved no additional recompense?

Geez, that would be terrible. Errrr... in my mind, at least. Obviously good exposure to have your own novel and the support team of having EA finance publishing and provide services like editors and whatnot... but I'd be bummed if I wrote a book that sold one million copies and I didn't see a red cent of it.

I'm overwhelmingly sure they would get paid for it. Probably some kind of royalty deal, but at the very least some sort of bonus.

Surely no company would ever ask its employee to write a novel on top of their usual job as a writer, without payment, that's crazy. Probably also illegal.

(And EA - disastrously - outsourced the last Mass Effect novel to a non-Bioware writer; he would've definitely had a contract of some sort.)

As I remember from the PAX demo, it was a red sword, too. But not too sure about that.

Hm, it does. Wonder if it changed since those t-shirts, or if the red sword is only on some Inquisition items?

The shirts are quite a bit older now too.  They still call the game Dragon Age III: Inquisition too.  So it wouldn't surprise me if those types of things have changed.

Billy Buskell@ehlien: HOLY. ****. This is a pretty game. That is all. :-)

Ryan Treadwell@Ryan_Treadwell: @ehlien Our game? Or are you playing some other stupidly pretty game?

Billy Buskell@ehlien: @Ryan_Treadwell well, I was looking @Cameron__Lee's monitor... :-D

Billy Buskell@ehlien: @Ryan_Treadwell Also, well done on using the key word "other" :-D

Ryan Treadwell@Ryan_Treadwell: @ehlien Going home and playing my PS3 and 360 games is hard after seeing ours all day long. I may need to buy a new system.

Psionics in DAI.

Semi-confirmed rumor.

Just sent David Gaider a tweet:

@davidgaider Do rogues teleport magically when they backstab or are they just moving really fast?

I'll let you guys know if there is a response. I've been curious about this for awhile. If anyone already has a source for this answer, please let me know.

[Banxey]

@Starsyn, your question reminded me of this dialogue.

Alistair: I will never get over how quietly you are able to move.
Leliana: It took me years and years to learn and even then I am not the best at it.
Alistair: So you didn't sneak around when spying?
Leliana: We all had different ways of doing things. Some preferred not to be seen at all, to cloak themselves in shadow and darkness. I realized that it is not such a bad thing to be seen, as long as you do not stand out and are quickly forgotten. I specialized in blending in, not drawing attention and looking like I had every right to be there. It is invisibility, but of another kind.
Alistair: Ah, yes, but I heard you often seduced your targets. They'd remember you.
Leliana: Not if they died...
Alistair: Oh.

[Grieving Natashina]

Ah, that's an excellent bit of dialog.

It's a bit of a debate going on in another thread. I never have seen it as magic, but I'm curious and I don't think Mr. Gaider would mind answering.

[Banxey]

Just saw the thread. And I also have never seen it as magic. It wouldn't make much sense if it was.

Lots of folks asking about Dev Diaries. Short answer: I have no idea when they will be out. I'm heads down making the game ATM. Sorry!

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw:
I will say this: expect footage, etc. to pile up closer to release. New engine is gorgeous, but we've had to rebuild gameplay from ground up.

Aidan Scanlan ‏@aidanscanlan:
Wait! Make sure you don't tell anyone WHAT we had to grind up to make it.

Sweet - nice to have confirmation they'll have game footage in these Dev Diaries.

Why? Was/is something wrong? I like what i seen at PAX is terms of gameplay.

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw:
Nothing wrong, just how engine changes go.

Sounds frustrating. I hate it when that happens in Skyrim and that isn't even a bug, at least I don't *think* it's a bug.

That's the first thing I thought too...

Code fix.

Chris Pickford ‏@TheBoyChris:
Probably. We tried adding lots of wildlife to coax it down, but it burned them all and carried on. Grumpy dragon is grumpy.

I wonder if we'll get some companions reveal before the dev diaries.
