I don't know so much about essential - it might sound a little presumptuous?

 

By interacting with us, thus making us feel included in the building process????

 

PS - I don't know why I'm trying to help you are WAY better at this than me.   ;)  :D

"By interacting with us, thus making us feel included as part of the building process for your games, you have changed the way that many have come to view games as a whole. " -Figured I'd add that in there as well xD

Yeah, I think that hits the mark.  It's humble but lets them know that the way they've embraced the fanbase means a lot.

Actually, on a personal note, I really want to say that I've spent too much time over the last couple of days reading about this gamergate situation and reading your letter and being a part of such a positive, supportive and inclusive group of fans makes me feel like all the hatred and toxicity of internet (gaming) communities will change.  Our Cullen thread is a home filled with warm, friendly debate and humor.  It helps me to imagine that other communities can be like this too.

 

Anyway, now I"M GETTING SENTIMENTAL.......and maybe a little weepy......blah!!!!   :)

Dear Dragon Age Team at Bioware,

 

            First and foremost, we would like to applaud all of you for all the hard work, effort, and time you all have put into developing such a beloved series. The fact that you have dedicated such a large amount of your time in creating the best possible game for us fans, is both heartwarming and inspiring; and it shows. You all have been so wonderful, engaging, and passionate about your work, ready and willing to listen to suggestions, concerns, and questions that fans have sent your way. Every time, you have addressed these concerns with tact and grace that is both very humbling and encouraging. By interacting with us, thus making us feel included as part of the building process for your games, you have changed the way that many have come to view games as a whole. It has brought people together, and mostly for the better. Everlasting friendships and understanding have flourished in the process, and we have all of you to thank for that.

Dragon Age is a special series, one unlike many other franchises before it. It makes us laugh, it makes us cry, it makes us angry, and it reaches into emotional depths that not many other games can reach. It causes us to take pause, evaluate our lives, and the lives of others. It teaches us to take a step back and think about our decisions. Sometimes, it allows us to escape the reality of our own lives, or tell us a story for dreams to come. Ultimately, it brings people together with a common love and differing, unique experiences.  The point that we are trying to make is that Dragon Age has, in one way or another, made a difference in our lives, and we have you all to thank for that. You put yourselves out there, working day in and day out, putting your all into a game that you are probably unsure will be received well. We are here to tell you just how much we appreciate everything that you are doing for us, words that we’re sure you probably don’t hear often.

By putting all your efforts into the games, you have created a world that takes on a life of its own. The characters that come out of your stories are so believable that they become beloved by many a fan. Cullen is one such character. Yes, perhaps there is a bit of gushing involved, but it is all in good jest and among friends, ones brought together for a common love of a character. Five years ago, many fans believed that they would never see this minor character again. They thought, because he was minor, any other gaming company would ignore their requests to see this particular character again. But, that’s what sets all of you aside. Granted, we understand it has to make sense story wise, but you all listen to your fans and try to work with them the best way that you can! If you think that character can fit within the plot of the story, you actually consider placing them in it. That is not something many people are used to seeing in the wide range of things, especially in the gaming industry. You have taken an otherwise disposable background character and made him progress in ways we never thought imaginable. We have you to thank for this, you to thank for at least hearing and considering our voices, no matter how small of a contribution it makes.

Today, we want to turn this around and make it about you. Now you are the ones that deserve to be heard, by all of the fans that adore you and the work that you all have been putting into this project. Today, you are the ones with the voices and the ones that are receiving gifts. Dragon Age is a gift to us; you all should know that, a product of your own creation made just for us. It’s high time someone did something for all of you.

So, thank you.

Thank you all very, very much!

                       

                                                                       

                                                                                                With enormous gratitude,

                                                                                                            #Cullenites

 

P.S. Watch out for the #BiowareThanksgiving tag on twitter. We meant it when we said this day is just for all of you!

Being a part of something good is balm for the soul. And I agree.. we aren't the only ones who are like this, and there will be others, too.

Aww, I love it <3 You have a gift of words Shadow. Thank you for writing such a beautiful letter.

*Should we divide it in paragraphs, so it is easier to read?

First big thanks to Owlfruit Potion who poked me on Twitter that things are finally coming together. :kissing:

 

ShadowReign, that letter reads AWESOME! Thanks for putting it together. <3

 

Thanks to everyone else in this group who have been doing all the plotting. Sorry for being absent, I needed to stay away for a while. :)

 

I am super excited about today, even if it will probably be midnight here and I will be asleep by the time they get the cake (WHAT IF THEY DON'T GET THE CAKE TODAY?? :o ).

 

What time do we start using the twitter tag? EDIT: Ok in 6 hours time. :)
