Some Mass Effect news!
BioWare is hiring a Lead Level Designer "to outline the gameplay experience (landmarks, encounters, flow rhythm, tension, pacing, variety, exploration)."
Maybe production finally kicks off by N7 day?

If BW became a ME-only studio it'd be unsustainable. That said I could easily see them doing that going forward...
Mass Effect update (kinda) where Mark Darrah provides insight on where BioWare stands after The Veilguard.
If ME5 does well, he implies that it will turn into a "forever Mass Effect studio."
If you’re craving Mass Effect vibes, The Expanse season 1 DELIVERS. Small scale, huge stakes, every choice matters. Sci-fi is thriving right now and I’m SO ready for Osiris Reborn.
The mass relays BEFORE connected systems. This one from the next Mass Effect feels like it connects eras. Where do you think this relay leads?
Again- I get the sentiment but if your reaction to the bloomberg article was to think you should apologize for being shitty to devs, you missed the point.
Take this as a lesson and learn. Choose compassion to real people over feelings about video games.

Re: Mass Effect TV series update
The description at the bottom likely isn't about the plot of the TV series but simply a placeholder. If it DOES turn out to be the plot then prepare yourselves for Henry Cavill as Shepard
Caught it! I'd been discussing it on discord and forgot to mention it here.
No worries, thanks for your support! 🫡
I feel that the lens flare feels charming in most cases but frustrating when it ruins the vibe of a cutscene by blocking a character expression.
I'd be fine with it as long as there's an actual reason for it to be in a scene lol
Gamble update (I guess?) of confirming that there will be excessive lens flare in the next Mass Effect
Definitely would have gone with this option in a non-Solas romance playthrough. Was interesting fighting my Rook's urge to trick him with my Inky's resolve to save him.
B - Harding, which broke me when Davrin died cause he's likely gonna be my next romance
#VeilguardSpoilers
Solavellan's ending REALLY landed for me. Obviously there were other endings but her guiding Solas to let go of everything that came before was a powerful choice for my Inky's arc. Wish I'd seen more but that's more coming from my expectations than what DAV's story needed
#VeilguardSpoilers
LOVED Blighted Bellara. Almost wish she kept the look cause it contrasted her contagious joy AND made her look badass
Finished the Veilguard and felt so many different things. Joy at the ending, sorrow at the series being on ice, elated at how good Act 3 was, confusion at certain story beats. Just *everything*. Gonna take time to process but right now it feels like a story that will stick with me for a long time
Ahhh ok gotcha. Some context there that would've probably set my alarm bells ringing.
I did notice him near the back. For some reason though it never clicked he wasn't there.
I feel like someone would've said something seeing Rook face the bed where Varric "was" so many times. Like an "are you ok??" I probably just missed it...vague memories of Harding saying something early on.
And it made me super confused cause while in Act 2 I had the thought that it would have had higher stakes if Varric had died at the ritual. Very strange experience to see that reveal so late
#VeilguardSpoilers
I literally had to wait a day to process this. Like HOW could Varric have been dead the whole time??? I played the game very disjointed but like- did anyone guess this during their playthrough cause it just floored me that Rook was duped about it the whole time
Lmao this was my exact reaction too. "oh he got impaled once that's fine- UHHH HE GOT IMPALED AGAIN THIS IS NOT GOOD"
Same. Legit still devastated.
Can't believe it. Thought Assan was going to save him but instead joined him 😭
#VeilguardSpoilers
NOOOOOO I LOST DAVRIN AND ASSAN FOLLOWED HIM!!! Like- a lot of people have died because of my choices...but this one really freaking hurts
I did every mission possible but am still terrified of someone dying because *gestures to Act 3 of BW games* I chose Davrin for the distraction since I'm romancing Harding...
I prefer finishing the game before forming an overall opinion, but from what I've played (not yet in Act 3), it had a very slow start but is starting to pick up where it matters.
My final thoughts on a game are usually impacted the most by Act 3's so it's trending in the right direction!
#VeilguardSpoilers
I'm honestly blown away by Act 3's character arc resolutions like it took a while to warm up but every single one is landing for me
I played an elf in Origins, DAI, and DAV so I really FELT the weight of this choice. Eventually decided to keep the Archive because if I've learned anything from Solas' regrets, it's important to confront the past instead of shying away from it.
#VeilguardSpoilers
Lmao nvm Manfred in this coat is priceless I regret nothing
#VeilguardSpoilers
Yup this decision was agonizing. Emmrich really wanted to embrace lichdom but I just couldn't imagine him without Manfred by his side. Friendship over immortality wins every time (hope I don't regret this choice later)
