I realize that most of you are here for Dragon Age news and there hasn't been a lot of that lately...
Let me just run down some things I an say:
1. We are working on the next Dragon Age
2. Yes we are working from home
3. Working from home is harder
4. We are making progress

Hey there Greg...
I've been letting you slide for a while but I think Dragon Age Day is maybe the day when that ends.
@BioMarkDarrah
And a relief for many others.
I’ve worked with you for over 10 years as the voice of Cullen (and Anders)
@dragonage
& have never worked w a more DISLOYAL, duplicitous corporate fake
Your enforced *resignation* is a victory for
@bioware
,its employees & particularly the fans.

Our default stance is to try not to reuse quantum characters. That is characters who can be in a lot of different states after a previous game (especially if they might be dead)
We did it with Liliana but I think that had something to do with

Not a fix, BUT:
If you are hitting the 95% load hang
Try quitting out and restarting. You may get a message, "Game server detected, do you want to rejoin?" say yes. That MAY get past the block.
Again, not a fix, but it may get you past.

“being an inclusive company means being inclusive of all those points of view.”

If your stance denies someone’s right to exist, you have an exclusive point of view. You can not be inclusive of those.

-Dorian’s arc is about BEING gay. Not sure how you write that if he isn’t.
- of course you have to write multiple romances. You just don’t have to write multiple romances for every single character
@BioMarkDarrah
Assuming that certain conversation topics are only permitted by certain genders is insulting to people of all genders. The second point... if you aren’t willing to put the time in for multiple types of romances, don’t put romances in your games.
