Episode 2! we're officially on biweekly cadence with our Veilguard season, and there's a lot to unpack.

Normandy FM's Dragon Age: The Veilguard season is finally rolling out biweekly. In this episode we talk about how BioWare did a really incredible thing making players interrogate things they chose in the character creator, and the really cool way the game recognizes trans identity.

I know Anthem was a poster child for so many people's problems with the state of video games for a long time, but at some point, the forces that are destroying the things you hate will come for the things you love, too.

This job doesn't usually require you to get existential, but I've been thinking about artifacts we have to remember people/art that are gone by. I talked to Anthem fans before the shutdown and asked them what they had left of the game and a lot of them said they just had memories, and those fade.

I’m working on a story talking with Anthem fans as we head into its final days, but if you’re a BioWare dev (current or former) who wants to talk about the game, its legacy, and its fate, on or off the record, I would love to hear from you. Can be reached at kshepard@kotaku.com. RTs appreciated!

We've been recording Normandy FM eps like mad over the past couple weeks, and should have the first four episodes of our Veilguard season live for patrons by this time next week. It has been a really rewarding season thus far and this game has been a lot of fun to go back to and pick apart. Join us!
