2 Going through investigate hubs for followers. It's fun and neat to see little parts of myself in each person I worked on.

3 But then I stop, because that assumption, the idea that these are part of me, would've felt absurd this time last year.

5 For the Iron Bull, I read up on active-duty soldiers returning to civilian life. His story's not just a PTSD arc, but I had to respect it.

6 And Cole is this raw nerve with an utterly selfless drive to help those who are hurting. Which can break your heart.

7 I see those as aspects of me now, but it was work to get them there. To make myself large enough to hold those new people.

8 The writing adage, "Write what you know," isn't suggesting safety. It's demanding empathy, ordering you to learn, to grow.

And now back to LEGOs and my somewhat dubious growing relationship with spiders.

Oh I would love to do this but I currently have 3 children running around the house screaming, they are starting to give me an eye twitch. But if I have time I will try write a fill tonight

 

I have run out of likes, so have this one: LIKE!   

[Boomshakalakalakaboom]

I'm just freaken amazed at all the details, like the freckles and stuff like that on the characters. I'm so far blown away by this game and it's story, and I don't even have it yet. I own a preordered copy, but I don't have it yet lol

Josephine looked amazing with her freckles. And her beauty spots weren't flush with her skin but actually raised a little. Also her eyes and how they start kind of brown around her pupil then turn green, so incredible.

It makes me uncomfortable too. But I think that, since it is a fictional universe (albeit, one that I care way too much about) then players are free to do whatever they want with their game that they have paid for. Romance mods, clothes mods, mission mods, etc. But, I think that skin color mods are....unacceptably racist, and I hate them.

But shouldn't we see changing someone's sexuality the same way we see changing someone's race? I have no problem with mods for clothes or hair or things like that, but when you start altering the person... I don't know. Gets kinda uncomfortable there. If people want to mod then okay dokie for them. I just think we shouldn't dismiss sexuality to a game mechanic because it kind of downplays the inclusiveness of all sexual orientations. I know there are people who are upset and I want to make them feel better anyway I can, but I also don't want to make others feel bad by questioning sexuality. Maker I hope I am making sense. If not, here is a cute bunny cuddle to see instead of my rambling

I really wish we didn't have a finite amount of likes. Patrick Weekes really is a super cool person, and everything he just tweeted about it 100% true-- especially about the "writing what you know" part being more about empathy than anything else. He's one of my favourite writers. 

 

Plus I'm pretty sure he has a figurine of Grunt riding on top of a figurine of a T-Rex on his desk but I'm not completely sure if that was him...

 

Edit: oh look! Top of the page! Uhh... here:

I know right!? And these are the things I can't get over! If they are paying this much attention to small details, I just can't wait to get my hands on this damn game!

[CuriousArtemis]

Hello, Cullenites! (of which I am no longer a member ) I've been out all day watching Germany beat the @#$% out of Brasil; after that I had dinner and watched a movie (purposefully avoiding this forum). I bought myself the Germany away jersey because you know what, I felt I deserved it lol A moment of happiness in my day today.

 

So the reason I'm here is to ask if any kind soul would be interested in PMing me any further romance-related news that was released during the Q&A. I did see that Scribbles got a name. How lovely! In any case, I know from experience that this thread is always on top of things regarding news, so if there's any more info... I'd be on my knees thanking you (get your head out of the gutter) if you'd let me know

 

Bye for now

[Lost_In_Anarchy]

Yeah, that's true. I am just so emotional today, that this news was really the straw that broke my sad camel back I just want everyone to be happy! 

*hugs tight* I know. I feel bad for those who aren't happy right now and wish I could make them all laugh and smile. I would make a huge batch of White Russian Cupcakes for everyone and hand them out if I could

[Boomshakalakalakaboom]

I know! Its going to be a very tedious wait until release lol. They just look like they have done such a fantastic job! I feel a huge sense of pride for everyone that put all their efforts into making the game what it is, as silly as that may sound.

*awesome sauce snip*

I just love the writers. And developers. And artists.  Heck, I just love everyone involved with the Dragon Age series.

 

Here is David Gaider's response x3:

David Gaider ‏@davidgaider 

Not me! Every character I write is a Mary Sue or a Mary Stu. I just think, "What would *I* do in this situation?" And voila.

 

Patrick Weekes ‏@PatrickWeekes 

Okay, correction, everybody EXCEPT DAVE grew as a person while making the game.

 

David Gaider ‏@davidgaider 

I may have shrunk a little, in fact.

So your not a fan because you can't romance him because he isn't bi?

 

That is just...well I can't romance Dorian but I want to be a fangirl of his.

[SamaraDraven]

It appears as though I called Cullen.

So you did. I can't say I'm surprised by Cullen's orientation, though I didn't think there was much evidence to base anything from so I had hoped they would fly in the face of expectations. But I can't have everything I want. Ah well! Maybe next time.

YES, the bolded is exactly my personal issue with it. Thank you. Though, I'm really sorry for those who had plans for Cullen that are dashed. 

 

Also yay bunnies.

[Lost_In_Anarchy]

Sooooo totally OT but yesterday my best friend had rescued a baby bunny (abandoned and probably runt of litter as mother was no where to be seen and it was out in the open where any predictor could get it) and today I just got news that 'Thumper' (yes we named him Thumper) didn't make it through the nigh cuz he was soooooo tiny. I more sads nao ;3; </3

Noooooooooooooooo! Oh Maker *hugs* I made things worse with the sads instead of better. I'm sooooo sorry. Please no be sads. I will brush your hair and make you hot cocoa and sing soft kitty and and what else do Anders' Spicy Shimy until you only cry from laughing!

I love how the one bunny is like, "Oooh! A nom-nom!"

[Elite Banana]

You know, I'm very gay, like gayer than a unicorn gay, but I don't really see myself using the gender change mod thing. It's... I don't know... I'd rather play a female main character (which I'm planning to do anyway) to find out what mr. sexy cheekbones has in store in terms of romance.

[Lost_In_Anarchy]

And I would hand out my Rum Chocolate Cupcakes, but I needs those. Because of feels.

For some reason Rum Chocolate Cupcakes make me think of Christmas. And if it's Christmas, it means I missed Halloween! Eek noooo, I still have to figure out how to do a Leilana costume

[TotoroTori]

So if Cullen was an animal what would be? A rabbit, a lion, a cat?

[CuriousArtemis]

Thanks for the PMs; y'all are awesome
