Goodbye, David.
I'll miss you and I wish you luck.
I'll especially miss your lambasting of annoying trolls here on the forums, your snark was epic and your arguments sound.
This news made my day!
Let us hope that the future main plots of the Dragon age game will improve a bit.
Haha, dumba$$.
^ I've seen several comments like that from people in this thread and on other game news outlets. Apparently many people didn't know that he had left DA even before Trespasser and would thus have had no say about DA4 anyway.
But to know that would require paying attention ;-) Which is seriously overrated on the interwebs.
Thank you David, for writing some of my favorite games and characters ever. I'm sad to see you go, only hope that you will remain in the industry so that we can continue to enjoy your work. Wishing you all the best!
Great contribution. Thanks.
EA has nothing to do with who does what, AFAIK.
Ah i was pointing to a bunch of moron i've read in other board.
Farewell and adieu.
You finally get to leave the toxic cesspool behind and who knows, maybe the quality of the writing will improve.
J/K.
- Good! - Good!

Seriously, but yeah kinda. I think this is good news. It seems he has a better idea. Change is life.
I wish him the very best!
Terrible rebuttal. There would be no Star Wars without George Lucas, after all.
That's right, there wouldn't. Would you rather there had been no amazing first three films just because the middle three didn't live up to expectations? Because in the end, I will always respect GL for creating one of the greatest movie franchises ever rather than 'delighted he's gone' because he dropped the ball in later years. Regardless of one's feeling about DA2/DAI, I love that the rich and wonderful DA Universe exists, and I credit DG with much/most of that. Which was my point. It seems churlish to me if you're a DA fan, to delight in the departure of the guy without whom it wouldn't be around.
Wasn't he lead writer for the new IP?
Didn't expect this at all. Damn, I'll miss him.

Those put-downs were pretty funny.
Thankyou David for the stories and characters you helped bring to life during your time at Bioware. I wish you the best for whatever your next adventure is.
You do realise, right, that there would be no DA at all without him, since he was the guy who built the world?
You highly underestimate all the people behind Dragon age if you think that it was a success just because of Gaider ,he was one of the writers who built the world not the only one.
I hope for the future for better main plots for the DA games because in all three games of whom he was the lead writer the main plots and the main villains weren't top notch and the only one who worked for me was wrote by Kirby .

I hope he is moving on to something he enjoys just as much as I think he loved DA.
Wow very surprising news.
Well best of luck on your next endeavor DG. I've enjoyed your work with in the DA series, BG2, KOTR and probably other things I'm not even aware of and hopefully will continue to enjoy your work in what ever your next project is.
I'd take him over what's there any day.
It'll be worse without him. edit: Well, besides Sheryl Chee. Afaik she's still writing DA.
I thought Sheryl bounced over to write for the new IP around the same time Mary Kirby did (both were shortly after David went over there)?
Wasn't he lead writer for the new IP?
If not lead, then certainly a senior writer on it, I believe. Makes me curious.
Loved your work, David. Thanks for all the memories.
Wht about the Fenris story? Is it still going to be released?
Wht about the Fenris story? Is it still going to be released?
It wasn't a Fenris story. All he tweeted was that he was writing Fenris again, for a book, but it was not about him. As far as I know, that's the only nugget of information that has been revealed about it.
