Damn. Gaider's on a roll tonight.

Regarding the Cut Origins.

It kind of sucks that the Avaar-barbarian Origin got cut. I hadn't even known it existed until I read Gaider's post, but ever since I started reading more deeply into the lore of Thedas I've wanted to play as an Avaar (Avaarian?), or at least see them play a larger role (other than Kell from The Calling).

Also, I know a lot of people think the human Trevelyan character is going to be a noble, but wouldn't it be cool if they were from an Avaar tribe or something? I know it's kind of far-fetched, but it would still be interesting and something that they haven't done before.

While I had heard that they cut origins before today, I didn't know which ones they were nor did I know about the Avaar one which would've been very interesting but nothing we can do about it now.

I'm not sure if Trevelyan is a noble or not, nor am I sure where he/she is going to be from just yet but I do agree with you that I want to see something different though i'm not sure how likely that is or and really doubt the Avaar one survived.

whats the point of this thread anymore? people are just discussing random things. Some not even DAI related.

[First Degree Mordor]

I'd like to point out, aizen, that your post is not on topic, either.

In answer to your question, we're passing the time while we wait for tweets or new info. There's no reason the thread has to be ignored because no one is tweeting or there's no news at the moment.

Edit: Or because the users who are awesome enough to post tweets for people who aren't on Twitter (like me) can't post at the moment.

David Gaider talks The Early Days of Dragon Age over on his Tumblr.

This is really, really interesting. And someone was just asking about this the other day.

Jennifer Hepler did a terrific job on the dwarves and their society. That is one of my fav parts of the series.

I need a 'NOT MY FAULT' gif, which is a dog wearing sunglasses and riding in a car.

For all of those days where our build breaks and it is, in fact, not my fault despite early assumptions it might be.

@PatrickWeekes It just seems like something I'd use a -lot-. My gameview was broken and I thought it was me, but NO! It was someone else.

The rest of the conversation is pretty interesting.

David Gaider @davidgaider
@eplerjc You can use Tumblr for that--I do. Just expect some people on Tumblr to object to your presence in "their" space.

Sebastian Hanlon @hnlsp
@davidgaider @eplerjc the internet ain't the fan lounge. you want a private club, build your own walls.

David Gaider @davidgaider
@hanlsp @eplerjc Or you can demand that people exist solely on your terms, and throw a fit when--amazingly--nobody agrees to that.

Gaider and Hanlon make a good point about the Tumblr fan community. The BSN gets a bad rap as toxic place full of death and deceit and abject misery (which isn't entirely inaccurate!), but Tumblr can be toxic in an entirely different way.

I've seen people on my dash say incredibly rude things about these creators that they've never met; folks that, otherwise, are kind and generous to other people in the community. It's bizarre and unsettling, and makes me not want to participate at all. What it eventually amounts to demanding that someone not play in the sandbox that they built, then feeling justified in your righteous anger when they have the temerity to disagree you on the finer points of sandbox stewardship.

Obviously I have a few feelings on this.

Tumblr is like that? How odd. BSN loves it when devs come to visit.

Maybe with this new DA forum....stuff. The devs could get a lil "dev corner" place where they can post some of their..erm..thoughts and opinions.

I feel bad for Nick, but I can't help but laugh. Does it make me a bad person?

Then we are both bad people.

And on that note, this reminds me of an older post from Chris Priestly...

From Chris Priestly:
As an arachnophobe there is something about the eyes, legs & palps that always gives me the jibblies when we put giant spiders in our games.

And this game, there is something even worse.

[The Elder King]

Yeah, they left some hints about new spider/insect in DAI.
Speaking of which, the GI issue had a screenshot of Cassandra and Vivienne faction some sort of spider woman.

Interesting design (note the multiple feet...), but I wouldn't say it's particularly scary. We'd have to see it in action.

[The Elder King]

I don't actually think that monster is the one they hinted at. I think the one they've been talong about will be way bigger.
Talking about spiders made me recall that screenshot, which I liked for seeing a new type of enemy.
