Honestly, I have trouble playing games which are directly related to the type I work on even when I'm not personally involved. I don't play, I analyze. That is the curse of being a game dev, I think, and the personal involvement angle just exacerbates it. - ThreadSky

I feel this! 💜 I warn anyone watching me play AAA 3rd person games "beware of me trying all the ladder entry angle anims for 20 mins at each interaction point"

Honestly, this might be the post I needed to read. Dragon Age (and Fenris. Thank you, sir) saved my life once. Every time a new game comes out, it resurrects my dream of writing for games.

But if writing for a game like DA made it so I could never truly get lost in a DA like game again…

Veilgard's dry summary for screenwriter: a cardboard story with a few good points. Looks like managers said “Cut out all the conflicts and basically anything that might offend someone. Oh, and yes, the players loved Dorian: castrate him and give his personality traits to our new companion Emmeric”

I really sympathize with everyone who was forced to go through the hell of production processes. I can’t imagine how hard it is what’s happening now, both for those who stayed in the studio and for those who left, emotionally invested
