But, like I said, this turned out well. Mike WAS the right pick, damn it. He had charisma and drive, and he even won me over. We worked together well, and I think DA benefited for it.
I think I'd still be at Bio, or have stayed a lot longer, but then I made my first big mistake: leaving Dragon Age.
The Road to Summerfall - Part 2
I guess the best place to start is with leaving BioWare. Right off the bat, I'll say I enjoyed working there - a lot. Until I didn't. I started in 1999 with BG2 and ended in 2016, 2 years after shipping DAI and after spending a year on the game which became Anthem.
While I was at BioWare, EA *always* preferred Mass Effect, straight up Their Marketing team liked it more. It was modern. It had action. They never quite knew what to do with DA, and whenever DA outperformed ME, ME got the excuses. If you ask me, it was always just shy of the axe since DA Origins.
You seem rather attached to ladies-in-waiting, Anders.
It's D - 1
It was really fun to play (more or less interesting combat, nice visuals, polished state at the release)
However, it feels like completely out of DA series to me... Honestly, this game is good and I'd give it more points if it was a standalone game out of the DA franchise😢

Look, I'm not a fancy CEO guy, but if someone said to me "the key to this successful single-player IP's success is to make it purely a multiplayer game. No, not a spin off: fundamentally change the DNA of what people loved about the core game" to me, I'd probably, like, quit that job or something.
Made some cute bracelets for a charity flea market ❤️
I'm in love!

My advice to EA (not that they care): you have an IP that a lot of people love. Deeply. At its height, it sold well enough to make you happy, right? Look at what it did best at the point where it sold the most. Follow Larian's lead and double down on that. The audience is still there. And waiting. ❤️
If I really dig into my empathy, I can kinda see the thinking here. Like, let's say you don't actually know much about games. You're in a big office with a bunch of other execs who also don't know much about games. What are they all saying?
"Live games do big numbers!"
"Action games are hot!"
Cool! Congrats! 🎊 I remember how I was struggling with the frosty manager as well 😅
You mean the newer version of mode manager for Datv?
for me personally, it's dao, I've never seen such a variety of combinations and different spells... I mean, I can cast a cloud of death and a blizzard! it was really cool😅
People of BlueSky! Let's get to know each other better. What's your all-time favourite TV show?
Quote your answer in GIF form.
See you, space Cowboy...
I think y’all should give Eternal Strands a try!!!
- A mix between BOTW and Shadow of Colossus
- Is made with the help of a Dragon Age veteran: Mike Laidlaw
- Has a set of diverse and likable characters
There’s a free demo if u wanna try it (I’ve been doing that atm) and is also $40 if u want it!!
Evil. Grotesque.
How the fuck these leeches think they got this money: off the backs of the creatives.
DisGUSTING. Fuck EA.
Hope one day ea will sell the ip to the skilled devs or bioware gets it back so we'll see a continuation of our beloved stories ❤️🩹
