Instead of recommending that recently laid off BioWare devs risk everything to start their own studios (lol like it's so easy?)
You could take a bit of that energy and buy games from some that already did ☺️
Eternal Strands just launched this week and I'm pretty sure Stray Gods is on sale!

Happy to say I'm part of PC Gamer's Experts Council, where I ran through a (very exhaustive) list of upcoming games and picked out my favourites among them all.
I sweated and deliberated and gnashed my teeth over my choices probably way more than I should have. 😅

CHARACTERS - Day Nine: Cassandra
This is the last of the (major) characters I wrote during my time on Dragon Age. I could go into others, and considered moving onto Stray Gods... but I feel like fewer would be interested, and I honestly can't keep up the pace. So let's make this the last, for now.

![A still from a DAI cutscene which includes Cassandra and the now-infamous "[DISGUSTED NOISE]" subtitle. Honestly, I just had in my head a sort of... short, derisive snort? But I didn't want to SAY "snort" in the subtitles because the LAST time I did that the voice actor literally snorted. As in snorted like a pig! Miranda read this line the first time and started laughing, she didn't know what to make of it, and laughed more when I tried to describe it. The result is now infamous.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6idaktmmodnebdn4zeyi7xdn/bafkreigpn2uikrcluyuzghukqjqurqxt6geqroxfzrvyrfd2n55mdtf4u4@jpeg)

Hey @davidgaider.bsky.social,
Being the antagonist for much of Origins, I don't expect him to be the most popular character. But didn't you write Loghain as well?? He deserves love too!!

CHARACTERS - Day Eight: Dorian
Now this is a fun one. It's no big secret I have a lot of feelings about Dorian, not least of which because he was my first (and only) gay male companion. There's a lot more to him than that, of course (as there should be), and it was quite a trip. So let's go!

CHARACTERS - Day Seven: Shale
Oops! I realized I'd moved on from DAO but missed one of the companions I'd written. Which checks out, honestly, because I almost didn't write Shale and, even after I'd written her, she almost didn't happen anyhow. Then she did. Prepare yourself for... PIGEON QUEST. 🦤

CHARACTERS - DAY SIX: Fenris
Now, DA2 is a story all on its own but I'm not going to go there other than to sum it up as "we had just over a year and a half to make this". It's why I only wrote one follower, Fenris, and although it'll make his fans mad: I probably shouldn't have.
Let me explain.

CHARACTERS - DAY FIVE: Zevran
I was going to skip over Zevran, honestly, as I felt like I didn't have a lot to tell in the way of stories about him... but I know he still has some (ardent) fans. Plus, on reflection, I thought maybe I DO have a few things to say. 😅
Sooo we'll see how this goes.

CHARACTERS - DAY FOUR: Alistair
Ah, Alistair. Depending on who you ask, he's the adorable woobie with the biggest heart or the irritating, over-used man-child. Yes, he is indeed all of those things. Good characters have flaws to go with their virtues. Ugly spots. That is literally their humanity.

CHARACTERS - DAY THREE: Flemeth
I have a type. I admit it. There are certain wells I can return to repeatedly and always find something new to explore.
One of them is older female characters. Mike used to rib me about it. Consider Wynne. Meredith. Genevieve. And, of course, the biggie: Flemeth.

(Technically this is an addendum to yesterday, but I make the rules here so nyah!)
Heading into DAI, I had a bite-sized problem on my hands. I knew Morrigan would feature. I also knew we were importing previous choices. So now I had to contend with: the Old God Baby. 🧵

CHARACTERS - DAY ONE: Morrigan
Morrigan began, waaaay back, as a bit of Morgan le Fey (hence the Dark Ritual) mixed with Delirium from Sandman. The Delirium elements subsided into more of a weird cadence of speech as my idea of Morrigan solidified - more cynical, wanting to connect but unable to. 🧵

Dragon Age: The Veilguard
I'm sure there are many people who have many complaints about it. However I want to emphasize that choosing bigotry as your argument only cheapens genuine criticism about the writing/execution/direction. Don't do it.
Rise above the hate. Dragon Age deserves that.
