  My apologies if this has been addressed.   (I haven't seen any specific comments by the devs on this front.)

  I'm just curious if the same writing team from DAO has written the story/dialogue for the expansion or if it is another team?  I know previously Bioware has stated that there multiple teams focusing on the different projects within the DA brand.

  If its not David, Mary, Sheryl, etc.. who may we ask is the new team?  What have they worked on previously?  Or is this their first major game writing?  

  Just to be clear this is not some paranoid post that "Oh no! IF ITS NOT GAIDER ITS GOING SUCK!."  I'm just genuinely curious.

I'd assume most of the people who wrote Origins wrote Awakening as well. It's a rather large project and a direct continuation of Origins as well as strong ties to Gaider's book The Calling. There isn't much reason to assume otherwise.

Well I agree under past circumstances, I wouldn't generally assume otherwirse. However we know there has been seperate teams working on the DLC. And IF there were say a full blown DA sequal in the works (or expansion #2 or whatever) it wouldn't surprise me to see them let one of the other writing teams have a crack at expansion #1 (with lets say Gaider or whomever as a sort of general editor.)

There are 2 novels so far:  The Stolen Throne, about Ferelden's rebellion against Orlais, and The Calling, about the Wardens.

The Calling is a direct reference to Awakening. It's all about the Architect and why Maric allowed the Wardens back in Ferelden. So I would think David has his mitts in the expansion.

The writing team for Awakening is David Gaider, Sheryl Chee, and I. Although I don't count myself as a full writer, I am usually busy being lead-like. But I sneak into the office early to write what I can. I hide behind my monitor so they can't find me. Posted Image

You mean you pretend to be writing while actually you are posting on the forums ;)

Yes, very much so. The implications made in The Calling make me absolutely excited for Awakenings. So many unanswered questions... Posted Image

@Mary: oooooOOOOOooooo! I really can't wait for that game either. If there's any MMO that I think can topple the great behemoth that is WoW, it's The Old Republic.

Interpretive dance?  Cake sculpture?  Semaphore code?

A lightsaber nicknamed 'The magic wand'?

Gah, crap. I wish I actually knew enough Star Wars lore to make some better jokes here <_<

I am glad that the very talented Mary Kirby is part of the SWTOR writing team! Makes me all the more excited to play that game!
