They had paid mine over the time period on their regular check release schedule. I think getting one big check up front is better for being able to invest it right away.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will feature nudity, something we got a glimpse of during a recent studio visit to BioWare. bit.ly/3W4MFJ0

I’m surprised you don’t have an internal group on slack or something to work it challenges the team may be facing. Having a central place to share gameplay experiences to learn from one another. I’m sure there must be some collab going on. Then again kinda cool to a direct input from the devs!😉

I’ve been saying this since 2022 that Dragon Age: Veilguard (was Dragon Age Dreadwolf) was coming out on November 2024! When they didn’t release last November. It makes sense as it’s the 10 year anniversary of DAI! Let’s hope nothing else is coming out at the same time.

🎉Companions can also form romances with each other, especially if you give one the cold shoulder (they may embrace someone else)

🎉Relationships are another way to level up companions on top of XP and skill points (conversations can affect your standing with them) 🎉Companions are pansexual, they can be attracted to you regardless of your Rook's gender or other NPCs

🎉Each companion's issues, personal quests, etc play into their relationship with you 🎉Friendships are also an important aspect, not just romance 🎉Romances are all different - some characters are straight to the point, while others have never been in a relationship before and can be a little awkward

🎉You gain a skill point you can spend on each companion when you rank up their relationship level 🎉Each companion has 5 unique upgradable abilities (you can bring 3 into combat) which can synergize with your Rook's build

Just found out about a massive data leak at Twitter/X. I don't use it anymore but I keep my account alive so no one else can claim my username. I just changed my password and suggest others do too. Also use 2FA whenever you can.

I started the process of moving to the UK when Brexit happened. Decided not to go. It was way better before. The fact that the government and public officials can lie to the public is just wrong! Hope they can turn things around.

I can’t imagine buying a 100K vehicle and this happens!! Waste of money, hope the occupants are okay. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone was trying to run them off the road. Seems Teslas are targets for road rage & aggression. Another reason not to buy one.

I’m not sure what this does? My games run once I edit the number of Core’s it’s allowed to run in. Right now I have 24 cores and Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age 2 can’t run until I make a manual adjustment then to 8! They can easily update the program to fix this automatically.

Yeah and I’m having the same issue now with Dragon Age 2! I had to change the CPU TO ONLY 8 for it not to crash on my new PC and you have to do it while it’s running. Don’t know if there is a setting too can program. But this really needs fixing!

There is a fix for this. It’s due to the game platform not being maintained to work on newer hardware. I’m in full agreement that this needs to be fixed! If you want the fix that worked for me here: fextralife.com/forums/t1351...

It’s a level of betrayal no one should ever experience. It shuts you down emotionally. It violates everything you believed in. Many can’t recover from shattering someone’s world like that. It’s not about right or wrong. It’s about how utterly shattered your psyche becomes.

My expectation of the creative director gives the 50,000 foot vision of what they are looking to achieve and then the teams can collaborate and with peer review develop the details with that over arching theme/narrative. But also be open to adjusting that theme.

I don't disagree with this. But I am also getting a lot of political BS on there too and the unhinged extremism it next level. I can't wait for Twitter to finally die. Only reason I am there is because BioWare and people who follow them are still on there.

Yes. It’s huge news and I agree it’s very spoiler. I’m already going to use up all my vacation when this game comes out, just like I did for Inquisition. Looking forward to seeing the Character Creator and what questions will have to answer since you’re not using the Keep (which I love) anymore.

Whatever the next project I work on is, if there's a need for a character to deliver certain lines in the cadence of the k.d. lang version of Cohen's Hallelujah, I am SET. A couple years on DAI and close to a decade on Veilguard, and I now write Solas-cadence lines to troll coworkers on Slack.

Corporations are our evil. They don’t need to be, they don’t need to be awful. Making ridiculous profits and harming the very people who made it possible is just wrong on so many levels. The USA is not the beacon of hope for the middle class anymore. Europe does a better job.

Enjoy your retirement! You will be missed! Glad you are not going completely incognito! Still want to hear your thoughts on The Veilguard! Perhaps you’ll feel inspired to join others to collaborate on your thoughts on the game! I’d love to see Caiti, Kala and you do a chat about Veilguard.

I feel this way about every single game right now. I want to do a Dragon Age run off all games again but just feel overwhelmed at the thought of doing it.
