Department doesn't matter. And I have two questions.
1.When can I fully romance a Qunari woman.
2.And when can I pre-order my Griffin, for multiplayer.

I would ask how to go about becoming a writer for BioWare. I think that would be an absolute dream job.

What was your first car ever?

And what is your dream car? And you can't say a Dolorean.

From what I've heard, 4 years experience in programming at least.

Considering the large amount on British accents in the DA series, have you ever considered creating a British division? I'm thinking in the same way you have an Edmonton division for ME multiplayer, and the Montreal(?) division for single player.

I currently drive a Chevy Cruze (that I have owned for a couple weeks now).

Dream car would be the Ferrari F40

I would wager this would not be a requirement anymore, if it once was.

Programmers for games today more make tools so that creative people from all walks of life (not just programming) can create content.  If there's an excellent writer that cannot program, best to make it as easy for them to write for your game as possible.

Nowadays you have to wipe the spot down with disinfectant first - which can leave a strange taste in your mouth for days ...:o

 I'd go with what time do you guys usually get on the BSN to answer questions...or are you always here?

Failing that what kind of music do you listen to like are there any metalheads in Bioware?

If you had to choose, would you rather have the power of flight, or invisibility?

If you could go back in time to visit yourself in high school, what do you think your high school self would say to you? Shocked? Impressed? Jealous of your awesome job?

This is the question I get asked most often. And the answer is simple: Apply.

Put together a resume and a portfolio. Include writing samples from the Neverwinter toolset, or Story Nexus, or just a document with hypertext links to show you can do branching dialogue.

Then send it in.

And if that doesn't work, revise your portfolio. Try again. Keep trying until you get in. There's no secret to it. There's no magical set of criteria you have to meet. There's no special experience required. You don't have to know anybody in particular. It's pretty much exactly the same as succeeding at any creative pursuit. Do that, and you'll be fine. Or you won't. But either way, it'll be good fodder for your writing.

Obviously Pepperoni and Jalapenos.

Because it's just the right thing to do.

I google image-searched for "hairy bishounen" and the closest thing I found was Lion-O from new Thundercats.
