Think they had nug sandwiches in this last friday Sprint Review for the dev teams

My question would be to Mr. Gaider, and it would concern Flemeth. What is she? I don't expect an answer until it's shown in one of the games, but it's one of the questions that burns in my mind

Where can i get a good recipe for Poutine?

Hey I'm in the USA. We don't have that stuff here.

Make fries. Melt cheese on it. Pour gravy on it. That's the recipe.

It should be cheese curd, not cheese.

And make sure it's beef gravy.

You Canadians put the Queen on your money. So do you feel like a sir?

[Asch Lavigne]

Since Allan is the only one responding, how often do you work with Gaider and Laidlaw themselves?

Also, which one of them has Felicia Day's phone number and can I have it?

[SeismicGravy]

Pepsi or Coke?

Everyone (from writers to QA to senior leads) is also encouraged to play the game more, just to get a feel for the game and to provide feedback as gamers.  (This is something I struggled with on DA2 and I need to do more of on DA3)

Just curious, where did the struggle come in for you? Was it the repetition, playing a scene fragment with no context, too jarring to play something that is partly finished (text to speech inserts)?

When I see a statement like that I imagine you guys playing a scene with wire frames and plain textures, perhaps some TTS dialog, and it just seems so bizarre and so divorced from the final product that I can't imagine doing efficient testing myself.

Time. I had spent very little time in the actual game itself (As Technical QA I spend more time verifying the tools than anything but snippets of stuff in game). I like to joke "I didn't know we were making a game. I thought we were just making some tools!"

How do you beat the "numbness" or "desensitizing" factor during testing?

Here's another one to the devs:

If you had a magic wand that could make the next sequel to a game series, what game series would that be? Active or dormant, your pick.

Heck, I'll be generous and say you even get to pick THREE if you want! Change the wand to a genie lamp.

Can I be a party pooper and use the wand to create some kickass unique IP?


If you force me to choose a game series, I pick Fallout.

What would make if you had a chance to make your own kickass unique IP?

To Allan or any other developer, I'd be really curious to hear.

Doctor Strange or X-Men?

Can't say because then you'll all steal our ideas!!!!

Serious note tho, i'm with Allan, if I could make another fallout game that would be it.  But not the Bethesda ones, I it was a Fallout 2 sequel.  God, i love that game.

But here is the thing with game development.  I wouldn't ever want to WORK on that game, because then I could never enjoy it the same way as if I had no meta knowledge.

So to awnser the question if i had a bazillion dollars i'd make a Fallout 1 -2 sequel but not work on it myself

It beats itself, because just when you are getting bored of running through the same plot/area/combat.  SOMETHING new is there.  And your just like "Whoa, this game is alive, yesterday this dungeon was just a square room, now its got these cool levels with traps and cool art and enemies.. etc"

Its fun

Coke but not in bottle/can, fountain cokes are the best

They say life is a learning experience. From your time thus far at the BioWare offices(or the game industry in general), what have you learned?

How difficult making a game actually is, and the crazy hours/hard work the teams put in.

Worth it? Absolutly.

[Sjpelke]

How does the writer team put together the party banter? Does one work on an idea (for both characters involved) or do the ones who write the characters involved write it together?

[Volus Warlord]

What's your favorite novel?

[Volus Warlord]

Also, on a darker note, I've been spreading rumors on and off for some time that DA3's MP will be an orgie simulator to poke fun at the ra-ra-romance punch. How accurate is this?

"Let's party like it's 47 A.D.!!!"

"3.. 2.. 1..  GO!!"

At the Bioware office, who is the most, and the least valuable, as a hostage in terms of payment?

Will the force mage tree be back? I usually play rogue, but the mage's force abilities kept calling me back to play as a mage.

Two questions, actually:

1. (Lighthearted) Star Trek or Star Wars?
2. What keeps you up at night, in terms of developing the DA franchise?

[SafetyShattered]

What are you most excited about for people to see in DA3? (combat, graphics, story, etc.)

Also....what class do you usually find yourself playing as in DA and why? Rogue, mage, or warrior?

1. Star wars, but I do love me some revenge of kahn and TNG.
2. That we might miss something and people don't enjoy the game.  It's our baby and we want you to love it like we do

1. The visuals, mostly because that will be the biggest intial shocker/impact from people as it is BEAUTIFUL.  Once people get a hold of the game..... theres some cool game design things happening that we can't talk about yet that are VERY fun, that I think people will enjoy too. (I would also say story and companions, but thats what people expect so no shock for it being amazing)

2. Most rpg's I play warriors or mages, warriors for badass armour and weapons, mages for the pew pew.
