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.

That’s some shit behavior.

This was a producer that championed for the CC to be included. Yeah. It gets worse.
*laid off or already had plans to leave

you sail into a hurricane but it’s actually fun?! WHAT
did I mention it has CO-OP?
you can host your own server with up to 8 friends or go at it alone!
ive been greatly enjoying my experience so far
it has combat, for those who dislike it, but its brief, and the enemies are angry plants
HEY YOU 🫵 do you like cozy games? building creations? petting farm animals? hugging trees? pretending you’re a pirate?
look no further than this lil gem of an early access game, aloft ⛵️
you’re a lil bean hired to explore the inner depths of the storm you orbit around…and there’s corruption afoot!
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.

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
I finally finished Dawn!

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.

19.12.2024 02:46 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0finished 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.
19.12.2024 02:38 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I also wanted to say I really resonated with Josie/Emmrich’s romances as an ace/demi person..both arcs with Inky/Rook had an undercurrent of trust and mutual care for the other…it provided a safe avenue to explore that piece of me. Emmrich’s comment of “going at Rook’s pace” meant the world. 🖤🩶💜

18.12.2024 09:06 — 👍 7 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Hey 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!)
Best wishes and thank you, your writing struck a cord with many of us. Looking forward to whatever you do next!
