Magni named their Mabari Moroc after the Paragon who made sure dwarves not losing their caste upon joining the Wardens. Hawke named hers Halliserre. Trevelyan had 2 horses during DAI - Cinnamon (RIP) & Mustard (a gift from Gaspard after learning he lost his horse helping his soldiers in the Plains)

Does your OC have any pets? If not, would they like to have any? And of course, an obligatory pet question: What did your Warden and Hawke name their dogs?

Just had my first experience of having to cancel a commission considering I've had nothing from them since I paid them in May. Got told they'd be starting it 3 different times (June, Aug, Oct lol), and in October I'd get regular updates when that's not been the case.

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.
I know this because they tried to recruit me and I strongly considered it but they’re also a “do an unpaid writing test where you have to also make it playable” company so that’s not something I vibe with

Did you know that every single background and sprite in our games is painstaking drawn and inked by hand?
Every line matters, across literally thousands of illustrations. 😤

Yeah. So at this point a company coming out and saying they use genAI is neither disappointing or surprising. I’m just so tired.
Why would you need to use genAI for placeholder text. How many articles do you think there will be of forgotten genAI assets post launch?

NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Depends on the game.
DAO - it's warrior. DA2 - I kinda dislike all the classes equally. DAI - mage. DATV - rogue & warrior are tied. I prefer martials overall so even my Inquisitor is a Knight-Enchanter.

My Marquise de Serault and Inquisitor have beef. My Hawke is Not Normal about my Inquisitor being the Herald of Andraste. Oh! And my Rook hates nobility, so putting her in a room with an Aeducan, a de Serault and an ex-Viscountess is like putting a fox in a hen house.

@scarletvalkyrie.bsky.social got me to play this game and I'm SO GLAD they did - go play STP right now you won't regret it
Whatever horrors you may find in these dark spaces, have heart and see them through.
There are no premature endings. There are no wrong decisions.
There are only fresh perspectives and new beginnings.
This is a love story.
SLAY THE PRINCESS is 40% off on Steam, the cheapest it's even been.

This is easy for my Hawke
