Kotaku - Hearing that women make a difference in game development is one thing, seeing what it means in practice is another. Recently, David Gaider—lead writer on the Dragon Age franchise—posted a blog about how having women on his writing team affected something in Dragon Age 3.
Dragon Age: Inquisition, developed by BioWare, is the third installment in the cherished Dragon Age series. It represents a major evolution from its predecessor, Dragon Age II, incorporating elements that were well-loved in the original Dragon Age: Origins but also introducing new features that stand on their own. While Inquisition improves upon Dragon Age II in many respects, it falls short of the exceptional standards set by Origins.
Amazon announced a partnership with Electronic Arts to deliver even more free games and in-game content to Prime Gaming subscribers.
Amazon announced the Prime Gaming gifts for the month of November: Control Ultimate Edition, Dragon Age Inquisition, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and more.
The quality of these free games has been awesome. Before anyone says they are not free I was already giving Amazon $6 a month for prime shipping and video this isn't why I pay for my subscription
How does Prime Gaming work? Do you keep the games, or is it only as long as you have Prime?
lol Nice distraction from how they're now charging people to increase viewership. It's "just an option." /wink lol
Thank you Women.
Keep your sex garbage plot lines out of my games... They will be much more enjoyable now.
Not surprised. There was once this one other game I liked and when I heard they were making a sequel to it. This was years ago, 10+ . I was excited, when the game came out and I played it, I found they had replaced the last male project lead with a woman lead. The game had practically been rewritten, it had nothing that made the prequels great. Was a complete abomination.
Is anyone else wishing they knew more about this cut content? It's hard to imagine how it would have divided people like this with what little information we have.
I just thanked one and they threw me out of the coffee shop. Maybe I shouldn't have been so loud and aggressively sarcastic.
"Sometimes it takes a woman...". Jesus, thats patronizing from someone who is trying to inspire feminism - or is she? It seems as if men should stop writing plots and let the pros (the women) take care of that.
She is missing the point in the examples she mentions and the cut from Dragon Age she is referring to, never gets explained; so what is it those female writers are on the fences about?
Back to her last remark; while men apparently don't see sexual plots where women see them, it seems as if women don't see patronizing comments where men see them. Sometimes it takes a man...
