Oh....OH OH OH O OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH
So should I sign up for that one too?
It's crazy to think that DAI is only 6 months away now!
Actually, it's only a little over 5 months away now! 
So should I sign up for that one too?
Let me ask this, was there a game name attached to that specific testing session?
LOL, I have first hand experience on that one!
Have you done a lot of testing so far? *isnosy*

OH GOD WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME NOW I WON'T BE ABLE TO SLEEP FROM PURE EXCITEMENT HOLY **** WHAT THE ****
Let me ask this, was there a game name attached to that specific testing session?
nope, just 'new concept' - but it IS looking for RPG players.
I think this is to be expected on the forum
Anyway, no fussing, just peace, love and Cullen.
I can safely say I woke up early this morning with eyebags on par with Cullen's.
SIGN UP, SIGN UP NOW YOU FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It'll be here before you know it. We've done the hardest of the waiting. Once E3 hits, it'll all be downhill from there.
Now I'm just waiting for the Collector's Edition info to be made available so I can run like mad to my local GameStop and upgrade from the Deluxe version...and request 10/7 off from work!

My god, I will not be in attendance for any of my classes during that week. I'm gonna get it early Tuesday morning, and then will not be doing anything but playing the game.
I just need that uber edition to be announced for PS4.
SIGN UP, SIGN UP NOW YOU FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Done! But I can guarantee if I get in I won't be able to say anything. The winking is going to have be a lot more complex, lol!
I can't wait to get a chance to play about with the Keep... And I wonder if they'll release a demo like they did for ME3 so we can play about with CC there? Excited!
Also, I stumbled on this at the Leliana thread:
http://forum.bioware...ion/?p=16483448
I though SC gives a well phrased explanation for why she and other writers may be hesitant to talk about who wrote which character, which is something we've pondered here I the thread in regards to Cullen!
This is so interesting. And aww, I didn't know it made them feel uncomfortable. Hmmm, well lemme see if I can articulate why who is writing whom interests me, personally.
I love Story. I love writing and reading and characters. And what I've found is that every writer has a style. Even if they're writing different characters and different situations, they still have a particular Voice. Um, an energy. A signature. It's this kinda intangible thing, but it's there. The essence of that writer's Voice is stamped on the story/character.
Story is pretty powerful stuff. And while there are many other aspects of the game that are also extremely important to the whole, for me, the writing and story-telling is the Heart of it all. It is the core. Combat is not the core---for me. Cuz if I don't care abt Why I'm fighting these ppl, then I'm gonna be bored. I need a reason. Like a diva actress, "what is my motivation here?" lol!
Versus the Leandra story in DA2. I know there ppl that didn't really connect to that story line, but I cried like friggin' baby. Then I fought more fiercely than I have ever fought in my gaming life. (The only thing I felt shorted on w/that was I did not get the chance to Personally put my hands on that mage that did that to Leandra. I felt I "needed" to see that. I wanted to see the fear of God in his eyes before I killed him for that vulgar violation.)
And sum quotes i like:
"Australian Aborigines say that the big stories—the stories worth telling and retelling, the ones in which you may find the meaning of your life—are forever stalking the right teller, sniffing and tracking like predators hunting their prey in the bush." —Robert Moss, Dreamgates
"I will tell you something about stories, (he said) They aren’t just entertainment. Don’t be fooled. They are all we have, you see, All we have to fight off illness and death" —Leslie Marmon Silko
"One lesson we can learn from pre-industrial peoples is the power of storytelling. I am struck by how important storytelling is among tribal peoples; it forms the basis of their educational systems. The Celtic peoples, for example, insisted that only the poets could be teachers. Why? I think it is because knowledge that is not passed through the heart is dangerous: it may lack wisdom; it may be a power trip; it may squelch life out of the learners. What if our educational systems were to insist that teachers be poets and storytellers and artists? What transformations would follow?" —Mathew Fox
So, for me, it's not so much knowing I'll like or dislike a character based on who is writing it. Rather, it's a knowing that, regardless of who the character is, and their situation--or even if I like them or not--I can trust this writer to handle it. Fortunately, the DA team has put together quite an ensemble of writers. So, I feel like a kid in a candy shop. I'm totally pleased with the Crew.
/OT. Sorry

I have a gift card for Game Stop that's been burning a hole in my pocket since Christmas waiting for this! I actually haven't reserved DAI yet waiting for the Collector's Edition.

Yea really. I'm kinda mad DAI isn't up on Amazon for PC yet. I get that EA wants everything through their Origin so they can make money but hope they at least give options to buy physical CEs on retails like Amazon. I have a ton of Amazon credit and would prefer to use that. If I must do it I'll just get it on my PS4 but I would prefer to play it on PC. Bioware games always seem to play much better on PC for me.
Done! But I can guarantee if I get in I won't be able to say anything. The winking is going to have be a lot more complex, lol!
Hmm... maybe add in some facial tics?

Hey, all the better if one of us get a crack that IP or the next Mass Effect. You represent all of us.

I think that another reason might be the way people have treated Bioware writers in the past. Cheryl did not directly say it in that post but I wonder if it's on their mind about the death threats that Hepler received. Not knowing who wrote who breeds less animosity towards specific writers. Anyways, she's being a little conservative or maybe even humble by saying the internet didn't say what she said in that post. I'm sure plenty have because behind anon people feel they don't have to be human beings anymore.
Sorry for the hijack, just thought I'd comment on this.
I think this is to be expected on the forum
Anyway, no fussing, just peace, love and Cullen.
anyway, i hope Cullen's upper lip returns in DAI.

Some sacrifices must be made. Cullen gave his upper lip. What will your Inquisitor give?
Retour en haut
