Hey folks. As of today, I am no longer with BioWare. However, I am sticking with the wonderful team at Motive Studios for the foreseeable future. Got a fantastic project cooking here. I’ll miss my BW family, but the hope is that I’ll make my way back to ME when the time comes.

remember when EA's tagline was "challenge everything"? Well I challenge all the execs to a fistfight.

EA and BioWare execs forced these dragon age devs through the Veilguard release cycle, didn’t support them whatsoever when they were being threatened and harassed online, and then fired them all without even the decency of calling it what it is. That’s some shit behavior.

Just a reminder to all you former Bioware devs.... we love you and the magic you created is not diminished by the greedy and cowardly execs who let you all go. You will go on to make great & amazing things no matter where you land. Out from under the yoke of EA you will not only survive but thrive.

do you want to know how to keep a fandom’s goodwill? by not doing that :)

never in a kajillion years would I anticipate the remaining vg devs we all loved getting laid off.

im sitting here holding the enjoyment of what they contributed and mourning that their new work won’t be dragon age anymore…

despite all the changes, they felt like constants…but alas

Thank you! And what a delightful question in turn!

I think she'd want a big, flower-filled, no-holds barred wedding at her family's estate. All her relatives, friends she made in the Inquisition, the Inquisitor's relatives (if they have any/keep in touch.) She'd begin planning 16 months in advance.

And I never wrote it in-game, so it lives in the hazy world of "only canon in my head": while Emmrich doesn't come from nobility, Myrna does-the Van Markham branch. She had the finest education, even before the Watchers.

She doesn't play it up much, though. Her real passion's her work.

As to your question, there's one line of banter between Emmrich and Neve that talks about this (so, very easy to miss.) The Mourn Watchers live and sleep in the upper (safer) levels of the Necropolis.

trying to avoid the itch to just transplant Sofina as an oc in the Witcher series bc it would be So Easy and her personality might fit better than the bioware protagonist/Rook sensibilities 🧍‍♂️

finished carnal desires in tw3. blind run. i thought i was just renovating a pub. never thought id unravel a situation with gritted teeth and bated breath, culminating in a dead gallop on roach. I could’ve fast traveled. but geralt and i had to sit in that unease for max payoff. and I’m glad i did.

Hey everyone: sorry I've been quiet on here. Was busy with a big decision, namely deciding to leave BioWare. I'll really, really miss working with everyone there. But after 15 years, it just feels like a good time for a break.

(If/when I've got something noteworthy lined up, I'll mention it here!)

Couldn't resist and ended up drawing more night gown Emmrich, with a bit of my Rook as a treat to me :) (sorry if it's a little steamy) #DragonAge #VeilGuard #EmmrichVolkarin #Art

Took the time to redraw Lothanni and Emmrich in Joseph Bowler painting, and your honour, I am obsessed.
