Oh shit im sorry I forgot the obvious. Who are we scoping out for a romance? I have my eyes on Harding (always have) and Bellara

i'm alive, i will be playing dragon age veilguard as soon as it drops and will probably post a bit about it here

my thots on previous games:

DA:O - 10/10 idc that this game is clunky and weird, it's top bioware game top game overall for me. Awakening - Not as good but still fun DA2 - 4/10 game drives me NUTS to actually play it, but the characters are standouts and super interesting, i tend to engage with this one more in fanfic than actually replaying the game tbh DAI - 7/10 when this first came out i disliked it a lot more, but when i started to separate it from previous DA games i enjoyed it a lot more. for me this is the one out of the three i'm most likely to replay at any given time, it's the easiest for me to just dip in and out of. also btw i replayed andromeda recently and re-read my og review....i was waaaaaaayyy to kind on it, it's a 3/10 now playing it with the dust settled and time and distance. FOR ME, you love it and it's your fave that's awesome. i just had to let the people know.

N7 Day 2022: On the Next Mass Effect -

"Since we last spoke about the next Mass Effect™ game, pre-production development has been proceeding very well. The team, comprised of Mass Effect franchise veterans as well as some amazing new additions to BioWare™, has grown steadily! They’ve been hard at work crafting new characters and locations that you’ll love, as well as revisiting many that you’ll remember.

This year, we wanted you to meet some of the people leading that work, so we’re putting a spotlight on four of the team’s leads for you to get to know a little better. With every game we make, pairing new talent with veteran developers has provided us with fresh perspectives and ideas, not to mention skills and experiences built from across the industry.

One day, when we’re ready, we’ll have more to share on the next Mass Effect, so thank you for being a part of this journey with us. It’s exceptionally exciting for the team and we’d love to continue sharing glimpses of what we’re working on with you in the future.

As our team on the next Mass Effect game celebrates today with you, they wanted to leave you with one final message from the Project Director of the next Mass Effect game, Mike Gamble:

In the nearly 15 years since the release of the first Mass Effect, the biggest reason we still love working on it is the warmth, dedication, and passion of this community. There are some of you who have been with us through everything. We’ve grown together, sacrificed Ashley together, (Editor’s Note: Or Kaidan, Mike! We all make different choices.) faced difficulties together…and laughed until our Faces Were Tired…together! And for those of you who are new to Mass Effect (thanks, Legendary Edition!), welcome! I can promise that many years of fun, adventures, and characters you’ll fall in love with are still ahead.

Regardless of when you joined us, through four games and more expansions, I can say with certainty that we’re in this because of you, and every N7 Day is a wonderful reminder of that. As we look forward, each week is a fun and exciting challenge for the team. We love bringing this universe to life, and although there’s much more we want to share with you, that’ll have to be for another time.

For now, there is something we want you to have a look at. We’ve intercepted some strange footage from one of the monitoring stations in known space. It could be nothing, but…"

Make MELE Inclusive does NOT under any circumstances support attacking or harassing developers or anyone on the MELE creative team. Our goal is to keep the tag as polite and professional as we can while also making our pain and frustration clear. We do not support or condone using our tag as an excuse to personally attack any developer or anyone from the MELE creative team.

Make MELE Inclusive is also only asking for bisexuality to be returned to characters that it was erased from. We do not support the idea of making gay characters like Steve Cortez and Samantha Traynor bi.
