A BioWare Guide on How to Murder a Fanbase

I have been a Dragon Age super-fan for almost fourteen years, now. I have played every game, with every DLC. I have read every novel, lore book, and every comic — yes, even the terrible ones that are better off forgotten. I have seen the anime film, the animated series, and the web mini-series. I have enjoyed all of these pieces of the franchise over and over, more times than I can count. So, make no mistake: the negativity you’re about to hear comes from a place of love for this fantasy world, developed by many creative people over the years. I would love nothing more than to see the resurrection of passion in the Dragon Age fandom again. But the unfortunate truth is, that resurrection is only needed because BioWare took the fandom out back and shot it in the first place.

In December 2018, three years after the release of Dragon Age: Inquisition’s Trespasser epilogue DLC, BioWare first announced the then-untitled next Dragon Age game with a teaser trailer. At this point, most fans were anticipating this would mean within the next couple years, we would see the game. This assumption was based on the fact that Dragon Age: Inquisition was first announced in 2012, and released in 2014, with an extra year of development added last minute.

There have been dribbles of extra content since then, adding to the franchise. This was enough to keep some fans still breathing and interested. 2020’s Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights was a lovely anthology. 2020’s Dragon Age: Blue Wraith and 2021’s Dark Fortress were wonderful comics tying up the story started in Knight Errant. And 2022’s Dragon Age: Absolution was a well-animated series with an interesting cast of characters and story. But all these still left the fandom with a major question: What was going on with the next game? It was untypical of BioWare to be so secretive, in comparison to how they handled sharing information of the past games in the franchise. The only form of updates fans still have to go on is mostly just concept art and short stories, hinting that something must be in production. But why was the wait so long?

In 2015, the first version of the next Dragon Age began with a clear vision, clear scope of practice, and a reportedly happy developer team. Most gloriously in my book, there was no multi-player… but this did not align with the Electronic Arts typical money-mad schemes. EA’s push for “games as a service” meant they wanted to monetize all their games as much as possible, and therefore, they wanted them to be a live service — as Anthem demonstrated, that meant sacrificing things that are staples of good RPGs, like narrative and character choice. So in 2017, version one of the next Dragon Age was scrapped and replaced. This new version would have, in total or to at least some degree, an online portion of play.

There is one part of Schreier’s article, “The Past and Present of Dragon Age 4,” that really sticks out to me, regarding this:

“One person close to the game told me this week that Morrison’s critical path, or main story, would be designed for single-player and that goal of the multiplayer elements would be to keep people engaged so that they would actually stick with post-launch content.”

The idea of splitting up components of a game into single-player and multi-player is a terrible idea, because it means that there would be a large bulk of content only accessible through online gaming; something many fans, like myself, are repulsed by. Even if I did enjoy it, I spent most of my life growing up with either no internet or shoddy internet incapable of playing online games. I know many rural people who are still in that position, losing more and more of their favourite gaming pastimes because they are locked out of the ability to play them. It is a disservice to hide content behind a wall like this, especially in a world that is so lore-heavy like Dragon Age. The news of multi-player in Dragon Age understandably upset many, and this is when I first noticed a large drop off in excitement over the next game.

However, in 2021, the failure of Anthem (multi-player) and success of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (single-player) led the executives at EA to bend to the wishes of BioWare leadership and allow them to go back to the drawing board yet again on the next Dragon Age. This meant removing all multi-player content!

While I am very happy that there will reportedly be no multi-player in Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, I can’t help but feel bitter and a little disgusted over the ridiculous development time spent on something no one but EA wanted in the first place. If it weren’t for this foolishness, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf would be in our hands right now. Instead, it’s been in development hell for nearly nine years and counting. Nine years is a long time to expect fans to carry a torch for you through radio silence, but it’s no wonder BioWare has shared barely anything about the next game; it’s been in flux for so long, they likely haven’t had anything concrete to show.

BioWare hurt its reputation even more when the news broke that the studio very suddenly laid off 50 people who were working on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. This is pretty damning on its own, but BioWare took it a step further. Former developer Jon Renish shared a statement revealing that the studio was only willing to offer laid-off employees two weeks of severance per year of service, and denied health benefits. The denial of health benefits in particular is a pretty wild move for a studio with a reputation for “stress casualties”. The latest news on this is that BioWare has still so far refused to negotiate better severance packages, leading to a lawsuit. The lawsuit originally had 15 former employees, but this dropped due to the fear of not being able to afford to pay their bills. So now, while EA sits on $400 million net income, the laid-off employees are struggling to buy holiday presents for their children. These horrid business practices are not to be ignored when accounting for a lack of faith in a studio. What kind of monsters reward workers who make your games special with vaguely reasoned lay-offs?

The latest news on the Dragon Age: Dreadwolf front from BioWare came early this month, December 2023, with a trailer… announcing a trailer that will come next summer… that will announce the release of the game. Supposedly. Maybe. We’ll see. But by this time, BioWare is something of a laughing stock of their own fandom. Reactions to the video released with a pretty map graphic and a few rendered locations were, from what I personally observed, mostly sardonic in nature. People have commented on the vapourware nature of the game, and like all vapourware, that leads to disintegrating trust.

Despite all this, people like Mary Kirby, (one of the veteran Dragon Age writers who was a victim of the layoffs,) said, “it’s bittersweet that Dreadwolf is my last DA game, but I still hope you all love it as much as I do,” encouraging fans to still support the game when it eventually is released. But after every misstep BioWare has taken, that’s a tough sell now. Fans are finicky, RPG fans more so than others, one could argue. We have our favourites, and many of us stick to those favourites for life over our appreciation for the artistry — but that relationship between studio and fan should go both ways. EA and BioWare has betrayed that relationship, and it will take a hell of a lot to build it back up again, now.

Music commission prices!

Update: Editing my prices again bc I still think I was undercharging a little bit from my work and also the payment processor I use to transfer money from P*ypal to my bank account recently increased their fees.

Hey everyone! My name's Carlos, I'm a composer and producer. I'm one half of the technical death metal band Beyond Flesh, and I've been doing commissioned music work since 2021. I did all the battle themes for the RPGmaker game Those Infernal Girls! and several battle themes for the "Chillen in Chult" arc of the the D&D twitch show Dice Dynamics. I also did one bonus track for the album We Will All Sing One Song by the James Connolly Upstate New York IWW.

I can make music for your:

OC

Climactic TTRPG moment

Videogame

Short Film

Whatever else idk

The main genres I do are metal, synthwave, and dungeon synth, but I've done a bunch of commissioned work in different genres, from 8bit to jazz to EDM to hiphop backing tracks. If in doubt, ask me and I'll tell you if I can do a particular genre or not.

Prices:

Base commission price (Includes 1 minute of music, 2 instrument tracks plus percussion track) - $12 USD

Extra instrument track - $6 USD

Extra minute of music - $6 USD

Examples:

Some examples of my previous work so you can get an idea of my range:

You don't need to know anything about music theory or related language to commission me, but do have in mind that the more ifnormation you're able to provide the better the end result will be. Vibe descriptions, reference tracks that you want it to sound similar to, writeups of the character and/or scene it's for, and anything else you can think of are massively helpful. I'll be continually sending you WIPs through the entire process so you can judge the direction I'm going in and provide notes if necessary.

You get to keep all rights to the song to use it for any purpose. I, however, keep the right to post it on my tumblr blog, my youtube channel, or any of my socials for promotional purposes.

You may contact me through DMs here, or through the following media:

e-mail: juan.hernandez9903@gmail.com

Discord: carlos7318

I only accept payment via p*ypal invoices, as c*shapp and v*nmo don't work in my country.

Untitled Post

A short story. Metallica (Mid 1985) were just hanging around. Each member had a beer in their hand.

Lars: (Takes a sip from his beer) So, um guys, what should we do today? James: (Takes a sip from his beer) How about we go check out that new skate park? Lars: Um, James we've been there 10 times this month. James: (Sighs) You're right. You have any idea on what we can o today, Cliff buddy? Cliff: How about we check out that new pancake house? Lars: Um, Cliff we've been to that pancake house 15 times already. Cliff: (Sighs) Yeah, but we haven't been there for the sixteenth time. How about we make a 16th trip there? Lars: I'm sick of pancakes. Kirk: (Sees two very beautiful girls) Dudes, (Points in the girls direction) how about we go talk to those cute girls over there. James: Good idea, Kirk! Cliff: Oh yeah! Lars: Um, that's a great idea. Kirk.

Little did the guys know that the two girls are Kim Hammett (Fem!Kirk) and Lara Ulrich (Fem!Lars). Both are holding glasses of wine in their hand.

Lara: Um, what do you want to do today? Kim: (Points in the boys direction) Boys are approaching us, Lara! Lara: How nice (Rolls her eyes).

The boys approach the two lovely ladies.

Lars: Hello ladies-

Lars notices that Fem!Kirk looks like Kirk, but with b00bs. Everyone else notices that Lara looks like Lars, but with longer hair and b00bs, plus she has hips.

Cliff: (Whispers to Lars) Woah, she looks just like you, but with tits and longer hair. Lars: Hello ladies. Um, what nice weather we're having, huh? Lara: Um, yes. It's going to be sunny all day and dry. James: (Mumbles while staring at Kim) Oh, it won't. I'm going to make you wet. Kim: Huh, what'd you say? James: Uh, nothing. It'll rain today. I saw the forecast.

James chugs his beer nervously.

Kim: You cuties haven't introduced yourselves yet. Lars: We're very sorry for that. I don't know if you have heard of us.

Lara and Kim stare at Lars blankly.

Cliff: We're a thrash metal band called Metallica. Lars: (points to himself in pride) I came up with the name. Lara: Um, that's cool. I'm Lara Ulrich, the drummer for Metallicunt. I came up with the name by the way. I like tennis, skying, scuba diving, film and art. I hope to have kids one day. Kim: I'm Kim Hammett, the guitarists to Metallicunt. I like horror movies, skateboarding, surfing, manga, anime, and comic books. I also own a cat. Lara: She's heterosexual. Kim: That's bullshit! I'm bi, and you're my Bi lover (kisses Lara on the lips)

The bands eyes widen.

Cliff: (Whispers to Lars again) See, I told you. Lars: (Nods) Cliff: Nice to meet you two. Anyways, I'm Cliff, the bassist of the band. That's Lars, our drummer- Lars: I can introduce myself, thank you pal (pats Cliff on the shoulder). Cliff: Anyways, I love pancakes, beer, classical music, jazz, and animals. Lara: Um, that's ni- Cliff: I also have a big drumstick (winks at both Kim and Lara). Kim: Wait, I thought you were the bassist? Lara: I'm not surprised. They say bassists can do it better. James: I'm James Hetfield, lead singer, guitarist, and lyricist. I like skateboarding, snowboarding, football, and hunting. And I fuck like a beast too (winks at Kim). Kim: Oh my. Did you hear that, Lara? Lara: (Crosses her arms and bites her lips) Yeah. Kim: And what's your name, cutie patootie? Kirk: (Blushes) I'm Kirk Hammett, the guitarist. I also like comic books, anime, manga, horror movies, and skateboarding. Lars: He's basically the awesome weird little brother of the group. His riffs are hot, but his jokes suck. Kirk: My jokes don't suck. Lara: You're adorable. Kirk: I go down girls all the time. They call me the genital torturer.

Lara and Kim start to giggle. Lara and Kim are now each side of Kirk holding his arms. He is still holding a beer in one hand.

Lara: I think you won. Boyfriend material right here. Kim: A man that goes down on a girl is the hottest thing.

Kirk and the two girls walk away.

Kirk: Bye, guys.

James, Lars, and Cliff just stood there as Kirk walks away with two lovely girls.

Lars: Um, so what do you guys ant to do now?

WIP TAG GAME

Tagged by @five-and-dimes & @omgcinnamoncakes :)

Rules: List some (or all) of your WIPs with a short concept summary.

Fun! here are, i guess, 'quick cuts' on things that have no parts posted yet.

"dream factory" - one loooong, continuous take wherein highbrow indie film director dream and everyman actor hob attempt to fix the script for a mediocre superhero flick, challenge dream's views about art, and kiss kiss fall in love

"ooh, kinky" - dream gets off on hob doing nice things for him; hob is really torn on whether he should find this hot or whether he should just be crying actually

"strange creatures" - 1389 hob hooks up with a very strange lady from the white horse... might even get immortality out of it, too [death/hob smut]

"michelangelo's hands" - post-2022 reunion meeting, dream is struggling to repair the dreaming after creating nothing for 100+ years, hob is just trying to help his friend

"here in the darkness" - reverse verse, Hope and Morpheus have been meeting for centuries, Morpheus storms out on him in 1889 and then Hope gets captured by Burgess. it's actually just a really heavy-handed allegory for depression tho

[ untitled fem dream smut ] - what it sounds like

"endpoints" - a companion piece to Patron Saint from Dream's POV

the spy au - 1389 era hob dies and becomes lord morpheus's spy in the dreaming. 27 chapters of bandit/lord, knight/king pining and spy movie shenanigans ensue.

ritual sex fic - Hob x The Concept of Dreaming, Dream and Hob perform a ritual to strengthen the bond between Dreaming and Dreamer

I was making the Making Of documentary about the film I had previously made, which was about a group of celebrities playing themselves doing a special charity event in a small English village and being attacked by a flock of murderous geese. Kind of like Untitled Goose Game, only if the geese were murderous instead of just a nuisance.

The original movie was horribly mismanaged as, it honestly can't be stressed enough, I have zero experience with moviemaking outside a few short things I directed for high school projects. Even though I was making the Making Of, which was largely celebrities talking about how awful the production was, I was very fair in saying the movie was crap.

Some classic scenes after the break. Paraphrased really, I remember the general gist of the scene but I don't recall the exact dialogue.

The celebrities are going in to a local pub. Celebrity: But what if those geese attack when we're in there? Will this glass window protect us? Landlord: Don't worry, this glass could stop a bear attack. It's that special glass that... (turns to his friend) What's that glass called, that can stop a bear attack? Landlord's Friend: Bear Glass? Landlord: That's right, this is Bear Glass. The celebrity enters the building, satisfied. After the last person enters, the Landlord moves to reveal he was blocking a sign on the window that reads: "WARNING: This is not Bear Glass".

Actor Nick Frost, who is apparently working with the geese for some reason, is trying to convince another celebrity, a woman I'm not sure exists, to drive to the local zoo in an old school bus. (Point to note, the woman already wants to go to the zoo, she just doesn't want to go in an old school bus) Nick Frost: Why don't you call a taxi? Or look, there's an old school bus, we could go in that? Woman: It's only a five minute walk away, there's no need for a taxi. If you don't want to walk, we could ride on that moose! A moose, which is actually a horse in Papier-mâché antlers, is standing inexplicably by the side of the road. Nick Frost: Don't you think it's a bit barbaric and ogreish to ride a moose to the zoo? Woman: Riding a moose to the zoo is a tradition! The ogreism is the point!

The zoo was just a run down pre-fab shack with a box of live crabs in it.

There was also a scene with Ricky Gervais getting drunk, but that scene doesn't matter because I would never allow Ricky Gervais to be in my movie.

The tagline for the film was "And you thought a group of crows was a murder" which is actually so good it deserves to be somewhere other than in my dreams.

WIP Weekend

thank you so much for the tag, @mint-ty <3 I didn't think I had that many wips to share but after looking through my notes app, there are actually quite a few things there gathering dust that I mostly forgot about 😭 sooooo here is my list, starting with the earliest:

Zame, si čisti dopamin - this is a bojere fic I started nearly a year ago now, based around the infamous tavastia 1.0 gig and Bojan both discovering and navigating his feelings for Jere. as I remember, I had one more chapter planned that I unfortunately lost motivation for, buuuut as it stands now, I guess it's kinda left on a cliffhanger? sorry 😅 but it holds a special place in my heart as I was just beginning to get very deep into my joker out hyperfixation when I started writing it hehehe

This ship of love is loaded - another bojere fic that I never finished and didn't post, this one was inspired by the release of Huhhahhei by Käärijä 😌 y'know the song's implications of fucking someone on a boat? yeah, I took that and ran with it whilst wearing my tin-foil hat and made it about bojere 😭 it's set on the 2023 eurovision pre-party boat and includes the scene of what is now the first snus proposal. ultimately, I abandoned it because I wanted to include smut but wasn't yet ready to (properly) write mlm smut for the first time back then

untitled jance fic - this is the only time thus far I've written jance (which is actually criminal tbh). it's a very short wip so I'm not entirely sure where I was going with it, but it appears to include Nace attempting to flirt... 👀

it's better if we remain a memory - now, this one is a little more obscure. it's based on the film Bojan is in (Kaj pa Ester?) that I unfortunately haven't watched (c'mon, slovenian film industry, make it available internationally, I beg of you 🙏). basically, I watched the trailer, made up a plot, and made it very very very gay. and then posted all but the final chapter before succumbing to lack of motivation again 😭

Immortalised - .......okay, I just realised I was wrong about only writing jance once, this is another time I tried to write it! this one is all about the incredible jance photoshoot by Damon Baker, exploring their relationship behind the lens. not sure why I never finished this one, if I'm honest 😅

Forgotten Nights - here, we have a bokris wip. this one was going to be a classic friends-to-lovers fic, littered with flashbacks and snippets from the past that both of them were repressing. I found that I didn't properly plan out the sequence of flashbacks though, or where I was going with it so it ended up a little messy as I was writing it and eventually I moved onto other things

a bunch of bokris "5+1 things" fic ideas I never got round to writing properly - specifically, I have 8 fics that I planned for 😭 if you want to know more about one, send me a number between 1 and 8 and I'll tell you what the 5+1 idea was :)

untitled damkris fic - finally, this is what I started most recently. it's inspired by Kris and Damon's recent trip to Ljubljana Castle, and basically they flirt and gay panic all day whilst being idiots and not realising they're both actually crushing hard on each other 😭

if you want to know more about any of these, or read a snippet from one, go ahead and drop into my ask box!!! I shall be more than happy to provide 😌

no pressure tagging (and apologies if you've already been tagged): @trips-around-the-sun @graysantimony @paperphilia @electron-road-suspect :D
