David Gaider: "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!" Your natural response? "We should make more action games, and all our games should have live service!" Cha-ching, right? Then some uppity devs spoil your buzz by saying "that doesn't apply equally to all games" or "we have an established IP with an audience that has certain expectations". You frown. You go look at their sales. Good, sure, but not as spectacular as live service and action games! Profit's great, but what's the point if you're not #1 in the charts? If you're not making headlines? If the devs can't make it work, this is THEIR failure. This, after all, is the future of gaming! Eventually, you're going to ask yourself why we (the company) even bother with those other games. Like single player games. It's a question you've asked aloud before. The fans bristle, but you're not here to supply every audience what they want. You're here to make money and increase share value. Maybe I'm being unkind. There are certainly all sorts of lessons a company could learn from a game like Veilguard (I still haven't played it, so I'm going off what other people have said), but "maybe it should have been live service" being the takeaway seems a bit short-sighted and self-serving. Not that there's any shortage of that, when it comes to deciding why a game doesn't do well. For the anti-woke crowd, for instance, there are woke games that do well and woke games that do poorly and only the ones that did poorly did so *because* they were woke. Says more about them than the game. 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. ❤️" [source thread]

User: "Maybe they can sell the IP to Larian. Or someone else who would treat it respectfully." David Gaider: "I suspect Larian is, smartly, done with working on third-party IP. You do all that work, and the IP overlords do little more than dictate the minutiae and make your life difficult and then you have to cut them a huge slice of the proceeds too? Not a lot of studios are going to bite THAT hook. [source] I know you said SELL the IP, but there's no way EA will relinquish its hold on an IP that could potentially do big numbers. In their ideal world, a studio takes it on, does all the work, and they rake in the cash. Giving up that kind of potential would require BIG money... and who would buy it?" [source]

Dragon Age: World of Thedas vol. 3 Fanbook Project - Interest Check

The World of Thedas volume 1 and 2 books from BioWare are treasured and interesting reads. With the likeliness of ever getting a officially published volume 3 paper thin, would you be interested in supporting or participating in fans taking things into our own hands?

Interest Check Deadline: 28-February-2025

Reblogs appreciated! Please feel free to share outside of tumblr as well!

(If there's a big enough positive response, I'll make a sideblog for the project to spread further.)

Just finished my Veilguard poster to match the Inquisition one I made a while ago!! I love it!!

Wanted the swirls to be sort of akin to Blight Stuff™ and man, were they weirdly cathartic to paint. Love playing with the negative space with these, idk it's just fun. Highly recommend just like makin' stuff in these trying times.

(also this is available in my print shop ;__;)

“Bare your blade  And raise it high. Stand your ground, The dawn will come.”   Another poster for another favorite of mine. Dragon Age: Inquisition is my beautiful, stupid friend who helped me through a lot of rough patches.

In this link there is definitely not a folder with every Dragon Age eBook, numbered in order of reading plus the two Encyclopedias about the world. Please do not use the link, there are not free books in there.

I can never give them up.

Personal headcanon is that Bull is still part of the inquisition even though they are married and they see each others whenever they can. Sometimes that means years apart. Bull hitched a ride with Morrigan and the Inquisitor through the Eluvians to make this happen.

He stays for a while helping with the Antaam issue and then they part ways again. Just until next time though, there is always that promise.

He is way older than Dorian so the ten years gap between DAI and DATV is showing more decisevely on him and maybe he walks with a cane now and doesn't fight (as much) anymore.

Part. 1

I like drawing comics from time to time, and I really wanted to draw this moment (beware btw, potential spoilers...?). I'm looking forward to the part. 2 ✨

Since I'm back in my Dragon Age Era™ I'll upload some of the stuff I've been sketching lately (and it has to do with spirits, of course)

I'm living in the Necropolis arc forever now, and dreams about Cole meeting Manfred (and Emmrich) don't cease to torment me (in a wonderful way).
