I have only backed 3 games actually (Wasteland 2, Project Eternity, and now Torment 2), and it's not like my contributions are of the particularly huge variety either.

There are more at work that have contributed to more products (and probably greater sums) than I.

In general I'd say there's a good number of us very excited about many of the games coming out from the Kickstarters.

LOL My apologies. I had heard you mention in previous posts that you had done Wasteland 2 and Project Eternity. And given that Torment just went up yesterday, I incorrectly extrapolated that to mean you were in a lot of Kickstarters. Sorry about that.

Here is one to any of the devs:

What was a personal accomplishment or something you were proud of doing in DA:I or one of the other titles in the series?

Just my outside opinion here, but... the only questions devs are answering in this thread are not DA-related at all. The reason your questions are likely not getting answered is because they are spoiler-related. They aren't ready to talk about the game - either in DA3 or any other future titles.

Questions that are getting answered are "How did you get your job," "What was your first car?" and "do you tan well?" 

Questions that have nothing to do with the DA series or its production.

(See I did it again Image IPB)

Ask me again when DA:I ships :P

Thus far? I was pretty happy with my solution to getting the player and party down the stairs when Bartrand locks them in. The player slid down the railing of the staircase, which was about a dozen animations squashed together, and it looked pretty decent.

I noticed that! I liked Hawke's bannister slide so much that I mentioned it on DA2's TV Tropes page.

I helped port over a conversation tester from DAO that allowed for easy testing of each lines for localization purposes, that could also be used for cinematics testing (in multiple languages as well).

It was insufficient to simply go through all dialogue lines (especially when cinematic testing), so it required some creative tree traversing that effectively utilized a depth-first search for populating a list for what order to test the conversation lines in.

As this was hardcoded to specifically play a particular conversation line, it meant that typical plot requirements (who's in my party, etc.) could be ignored. It just required the tester to spawn in the required NPCs, as well as be in the correct level.

Given how much interaction I had with localization teams, it certainly seemed to help them with their testing.

That felt pretty cool.

It's tough for me to answer much about the content for this reason.  Plus there's nothing stopping it from changing at this point (depending on the question).

DA stuff such as details about my job and whatnot are a bit easier to answer.


And to step on the landmine...

Do you like Dragon Age 2?


Yes.  (Kaboom!)

I'm about as biased of a source as there possibly can be on the game, however.

It's a quote from Season 4 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Do you think if Warren Moon stayed as the quarterback for the Edmonton Eskimos, the team would've won more Grey Cups?
